It is said, "Join the Navy and see the glory of the Void." The author of this quote doesn't know the half of it. My last patrol started in New York and then; Alaska, Minor, New York, California, and back to New York in a span of mere minutes. I was a mere spectator in Alaska and Minor where I just made it in time for a few pot-shots against two Order secondary Battle Wagons.
From there I had the honor of escorting one of our Big Brudders [LN]-LNS-Minneapolis to Juneua, who was providing support at the Minor jump hole.
From there, I received an urgent request of assistance from Whitehall, who had a Lil' Cannibal problem in California. I arrived on the scene midway on the lane to Mojave in Cali. I provided security for Whitehall until her patience with the flesheater wore out. Upon her notice we engaged the flesheater and with the finally shot coming from Lead Kelly we dispatched the eater of flesh.
To our surprise, while in combat, the flesheater had called for support in the form of a flesheater's gunboat. Sadly, for him, it did not arrive in time and our combined might dispatched the Big Cannibal.
My travels ended with a deep space excursion within New York as wingman to Kelly. We hunted down a Peach and chased it out of New York keeping the lanes clear of this rotting Peach for several hours.

[font=Palatino Linotype][color=#FF0000]OMICRON MINOR INFORMATION
- ALL PRIMARY NAVY UNITS
Be advised, the Fleet Admiral has clearly stated that you may not enter Omicron Minor without the explicit permission from a Primary High Command Navy Officer. Under the state of pursuit you are allowed to enter Omicron Minor and engage hostile targets within 10K of the jumphole to Alaska. Any further and you MUST return. That is a direct and strict order. Do not under any circumstances venture further than 10K from the Alaska jumphole in the Omicron Minor system.
Ensign Jeff Blue,
This message and its content was not directly meant for you. You have done nothing wrong in your actions. Keep up the good work, but do note the information I have sent. It seems our pilots have more frequently ended up in Omicron Minor and it's important that you know what rules of engagement the Navy has there.

Captain Zanders, i was there since the beginning.
As you know, i was left in the lead of the patrol as you left, and then the alarms of the Alaska Security screen sounded off and we immediately moved to the Alaska gate in New York.
Three LSF bombers joined our wing, with Associate Director Julia Wolfe commanding said wing as we moved in.
Inside, we started a secure pattern grid search and we finally found them near sector E3.
Although the option of leaving the system was given, which they took, our scans of the double 'Geb' vessels indicated a large amount of Navy Pilot pods within their hold.
Pods that the OCV-Phoenix didn't relinquished, despite our hails to.
So, Associate Director Julia Wolfe ordered to open fire on said Order vessels and we did as they crawled back to the Minor hole.
As they arrived to Minor, we followed them in tow, and continued our assault.
We didn't went over the 10k mark from the jump-hole while decimating the two kidnapping vessels, i am sure of it for we still where within the asteroid cloud and way afar from Toledo.
Then as Jeff reported, we took care of the Corsair.. group, so to speak in California.
It seems Tia Whiteall as a 'thing' against Corsairs. I would advise a keen eye on her when any Corsair involvement in the future.
Then it was the Hellfire Legionnaire 'Peaches' with his run. *Smirks*
And then to finalize an Outcast Tridente in California. Fortunately i managed to arrive in time to prevent a pirating attempt. And even received a thanks from the trader.
Thankfully, Whiteall arrived after some minutes, just in time to lay some cover fire while we shredded it solidly.
And to finish up a good day, i helped Whiteall to finish up her requirements for the Ensign rank.
