Greetings, pilots

While on patrol in Minor, we picked up a series of transmissions in the system coming from a couple of drunk bounty hunters carrying a load of captured Order pilots.

We attempted to locate the individuals as they were threatening to jettison some of the captured pilots. We searched all the corners of Minor but didn't get a single blip on scanners.

Not long after I decided to head back to Isis, I received a transmission over private frequencies from one of the hunters. He claimed that we had 15 minutes to get to Omicron Gamma or they would start executing hostages.

We assembled a small fleet of vessels, namely [TOP]Gurney.Halleck, Tri-Edge, Wolf-Fang, Wizard, and the capital vessel OCV-Neith-II, and made our way to Gamma in search of these terrorists.

As soon as we arrived in Gamma we noticed the same sort of drunken bantering over the comms and spread out to cover all the exits. It seems we were a little too late in covering the jump holes as we got word they had already jumped to Theta and were en-route to Omicron 74. Gurney.Halleck suggested we split the team into two parties, one to follow them into 74 and the other would go directly to Omicron Kappa from Gamma.

It turns out the idea to split up was a good one since we caught up with them as they were jumping into Delta once again. I was a little ahead of the pilots in my group but was still trailing the hunters by a considerable amount.

After shaming the hunters into dealing with me, we made the agreement to a battle one vs. one where the winner takes all. It was a relatively close battle but I was able to retrieve the remaining two pilots from the wreckage of the hunter's Manta.

I would like to take this moment to thank the agents who were in the area of the battle for ensuring fair combat. I would also like to send my condolences to the families of the pilots that were not saved from this tragic incident. It's a wonder how supposedly lawful bounty hunters are able to execute hostages in cold-blood to make a point.
