I started with the usual round in New York, scanning and searching. At first it was quiet. I met the Recruit Chris Columbus and went on patrolling with him. After a sweep through NY we headed to Pennsylvania and started the rounds. Everything checked out ok and we went back to New York. On the way, near the Jumpgate we encountered Mini, who was carrying slaves on board. I ordered him to stand down, he refused, I ordered him to drop the slaves and pay the fine and he refused again. I had no choice but to engage. The recruit had retired to NY because his ship was ill-equipped for this encounter. After a good time of fighting we both realized that nobody was going to win, but we kept at it. Both of us being in Liberators and with similar outfit. At a point he decided to retreat but I encountered him again near West Point along with a Liberty Rogue. A few LNS ships arrived and we began our pursuit. I managed to damage the Liberty Rogue ship { LR-Butter.On.Hunt } but he got away. I then returned to Manhattan.
