I linked up with an SA patrol into the border worlds, soon after Contact I entered an engagement with mixed forces. I removed from the first with minutes of my arrival, My port side took a direct hit from a NOVA. I have spent 2 weeks making that ship space worthy and now its bits are scattered all over an Unknown system. Its a miracle I got out alive, I had to create a false signal to revet my pod from being shot down. With much effort I got back to theta and booked transport. If anyone needs me I'll be in a simulator.
