Sorry for my late report, Commodore. I was taken wounded on Freeport 4, and unable to contact any Coalition forces.
Just before Comander Totenkopt and Lt. Cobalt sent the HF on their way, I was engaged by the same HF, plus a HF bomber outside Freeport 4. With three of them on my six, I found it hard to dodge and get them in my sights. The bomber made the stupid mistake of coming straight for me, however. I hope he enjoyed the sight of my novas through his cockpit.
Just as the bomber disintegrated behind me, an AW came into scanner range. A gunboat that needed to be brought down with extreme prejudice. And so it was. My bomber took a little damage from the two other fighters on my six, however. A particle projectile ripped through the lower left of my cockpit, scattering shards of hull everywhere. My suit stayed intact, even with a large piece of my hull in my left leg. That's how I ended up in a sick bay.
Good to know that Totenkopt and Cobalt got the b*stards. I'll be flying back to 52 for surgery. I suppose my bomber is now really a part of me.
