Ensign Ethan Tamner reporting in.
Woooow, today was a LONG day.
Started out when I launched and was met by Lt Samuel Stubbs, who told me to get to Z-21 immediately. I cruised there as fast as possible, and arrived just in time to see a renegade Order, Zygoeths, enter.
Samuel told him that the penalty for tresspassing in Z-21 was death, and that since he was a renegade the Order-Liberty treaty no longer applied to him. He then tried to make a run for it, but one of his engines was hit by one of our shots, and his gunboat veered off and crashed into the minefield:
After this incident, scanners picked up a Liberty Rogue vessel, Felix.Kelley, trying to enter Z-21 as well. Samuel and I flew out to engage, and caught him outside the minefield.
We were heavily outgunned by the gunboat, but Sam managed to get a merc, [M]Frost, to help us, just as another Rogue, Matthias.Kelly, came to aid his comrade.
After a short while, Sam managed to destroy Matt's ship and Felix fled from us into the badlands, where I was forced to break off the pursuit. I was then immediately recalled because of yet ANOTHER breach of Z-21, this time from a Junker, Little_Johnny, who was engaged by Lt. Samuel, Squadron Leader MacTavish and I.
He fled from us into the Alaska system, but we pursued and destroyed him:
We flew back out, and all was quiet for about 15 minutes, until two transports entered the Z-21 minefield and began to head brazenly towards the jumpgate. They refused to turn back or even stop at all, and so were also eliminated:
After this, a hellfire legion ship, [HF]-Ayane.Kosuke, thought to test our defenses of Zone-21 as well:
A few minutes into this engagement, an overcharged Debilitator pulse from one of our weapons hit the HF vessel, knocking out all its electronics. Before we could destroy it, however, a nomad-infested gunboat, Wintermute, flew past us, forcing us to chase after him:
About halfway through the fight, it became clear that MacTavish and Sam had it under control, so I headed back into Z-21 to discover that the HF ship had apparently rebooted all its systems and was coming after me, so a fierce battle ensued.
I fought to the best of my ability, severely damaging the bomber, but eventually a supernova shot hammered into my ship, disintegrating it instantly. My pod flew out of the fireball and bumped against the jumpgate, where I was treated to a pleasing view of the HF ship's right engine failing and crashing into the mines. Samuel picked up my pod as soon as he finished with the corsair gunboat, and brought me back to Manhattan, where I went off duty. What a day that was! Will be back in space after some well-deserved sleep and a strong beer.
Tamner out.
