Report 5
In an attempt to consolidate paperwork to allow more patrol time I have condensed a number of Patrols into one report.
P1. Normal searches, again proving clean, New York seems to attract brawlers rather than smugglers at present. Some "saved lawful pirates"transferred from Paul Naves was the highlight of that patrol.
P2. Shaping to be a normal patrol until request for help from LN ships in California where they faced a small fleet of assorted miscreants including 4 CGS ships, Powhatan, Wappinger, The.Commanche and The Delaware with some FL's including No.sense. Collected a flotilla of assorted ships in NY including [NG]-Storm.Assault and Amethyst.Reaver and headed into California resulting battle forced the unlawfuls back, many casualties on their side, light for the lawful forces.
P3. Started in a way that is becoming a habit, trying to sisperse Hackers, Rogues and Outcasts from New York. Eventually a flotilla of Liberty forces ([LN]-Dinitry Ivanovich, Jasmine Greenson, Luis Ramirez and Virgil Redline with LNS Las Vegas and Chimera managed to clear the systems. It was during this successful engagements spread over a number of systems that saw me claim my first scalp since joining, Firedance.
P4. Started lively with a number of Hackers and an Outcast including [HF]-HFU-Spork.of.Hope, Harmless Wing, Arcturus, Tarantoga and Alpha5 in New York. They were asked to leave and in the ensuing melee some left and some wished they had, a s LN-Andy.Bogard, John and !Jeki_Chen! exercised some firepower, John being especially well armed and helpful.
Towards the end of the patrol, APB raised, with first contact to me from LPI-D.Dusentrieb[O], to assist Lawful forces in repelling a Rheinlander incursion. Assembeled force included LSFC-Death Valley, USI H.Washburne LN-Remus Sius =LSF=Amber Bay, LNS-Devestation, LNS-Seal, LNS-Juice Extractor and LNS-Durango, including the aformentioned LPI officer. Invaders were forced back in a decisive defence.
P5. Upon undocking entered straight into the middle of LNS-Blockade Lake and =LSF=Randy Roden engaged with the usual assortment of outlaws, Mukiwa, Geogie_Koskov, Gomez_Mejm with possibly Nuuskamuikkunen and Drifter_X (was a fest). Many support vessels were on route however when the Spyglass went pop the rest fled. However, 3 of the original party (pre - me coming on duty) were in Texas causing problems. I entered and shadowed them up to the Cali jh as the LN/LNS forced grouped and sorted out some order. The liberator was a useful spotting vehicle allowing me to jump to Cali and provide updates. However during these acticities on the Hacker gunboats and destroyers a Sabre managed to close on me and local Rogues CD's me. Thankfully I could thrust to the JG with the Sabre persuing. On jumping I
entered TL and stopped 9k from JG to carry on obs. To my surprise the first ship through was a trader Dean, followed by the Sabre who promptly instigated some pirating. Dean refused to pay, possibly seeing an LPI officer on scope and knowing I would intervene. Entered the fray and together dodged the Sabre and was able to pop a mine on his nose, Fusekle being the second termination under the LPI badge I carried out.
However all was not finished and was called back into Cali to help [NG]-Assault, =LSF=Point MacKensie, LNS-Portsmouth, LNs-Florida and =LSF=Randy Roden with the remaining unlawfuls,. The fierce battle within the asteroids resulted in the loss of LNS-Florida but not before he had helped with the dispatch of BRO FenxiX and Spyder, Ermak and Blue-Star; Fusekle eventually docking at Alcatraz.
P6. A whole range of activities ranging from dealing with mad worshippers (sphess mahreen and chaos sphess mahreen), Nomad artefact carrying ship (Budi-Vudi), a cardi carrier (Angel's Guardian) and even a weather forecast (Maersk)Savannah).
Two weapons dealers at Norfolk, including the regular W.F.Cody, must check the files for permits and such to see all is in order with this trade in New York.
Finally my ship was severely damaged when trying to escort the outcast Sabre of Maria Martinez[13th] from the system, thankfully upon ejection I was quickly rescued by some of the lawful! bystanders.
