I undocked today for a routine patrol. After checking out lanes in New York I managed to run into civilian wanting to join the Navy. I promptly showed him the channel. After resupplying and rearming at Planet Manhattan I went on to patrol the Colorado system.
However things were about to heat up. Not even a minute after I jumped into the Colorado system I was hailed by a Liberty Police Officer stating that there was a Order Battlecruiser. In fact, it turned out to be the infamous ThunderBay. I told the officer to keep the Muntineed ship put while I rushed back into New York. Knowning that our firepower was not sufficeint, I radioed in Captain Malrone and Casero.
While waiting for backup I attempted to convince Captain Porter of the ThunderBay that desertion was not the key and was not a smart thing to do. At first she showed signs that I had gotten into her head and convinced her to turn herself in, however she stayed loyal to the terrorist group The Order and refused to surrender herself, the ship, or her crew. When Captain Malrone and Casero showed up in the Cruiser Libertad and the Battlecruiser Grooms Lake, the Captain informed me that he would allow me 10 more minutes to try to convince the Order officer that she is in fact daft. However to my dissapointment and sadness, Mrs. Porter would not yield. After she engaged cruise engines Captain Casero gave the order to fire.
I shall admit I hesitated at first, however I remembered my duty. I switched off the safety and promptly opened fire. After a short while The Naval forces brought the ThunderBay into critical status, breaching the Hull. Captain Casero gave one more warning, but the Order ship would not give in.
Now call me crazy, but I could of swore that right before we tore the battlecruiser to safety, it seemed to dissapeared and enter warp drive. The kill and destruction of the ship is not confirmed and mysteriously we could not find any surviving callsigns. The Order must have new technology for this... My ship took minimum damage. After repairing my ship I was granted permission from Captain Casero for some R&R. I definetly needed it..
