Don't worry. It's nothing serious. Yes, I'm in the med bay, but I'll be okay (or so they say). So, here's the paperwork.
Shortly after I'd finished my last report, I undocked from Los Angeles to check on my fellow officers Michael Rivers and Buck Frost, who reported a Gallic Lynx near West Point. Admittedly, I didn't believe them right away - after all, what would a Gaul be doing here in New York?
Anyhow, once I got there, I saw that it wasn't just them trying to play a joke on me. There was a Lynx right there, with a freelancer's identification papers.
Apparently, the pilot - calling herself "Camille Gabriel" - had told officers Frost and Rivers some vague story about her being part of some Gallic resistance. I don't believe she told 'em anything useful. Nor did we ask - after all, that's LSF business, isn't it?
Of course, we didn't just let her fly her Lynx in Libertonian space. I demanded a 500,000 credit fine - which she paid - and we escorted her out to the Freeport in Magellan. Apparently, the Independent Miners' Guild doesn't mind Gauls. 'course, I sent the fine she paid to the Leavenworth as soon as we were done.
Officer Michael Rivers had some paperwork to do, and left me and Buck Frost to investigate some apparent pirate activity in New York. We never managed to find the suspect, which - judging from TLAGSNET output - is most likely to be a gunboat-class ship.
As we noticed no more activity of the ship on TLAGSNET, we headed to the newly reported, illegal base in the Detroit debris field. There, we joined a fairly large navy task force, with me flying one of our SWAT gunboats, the Atwater.
Not long after we'd gotten there, a Pilgrim liner, with the callsign "Arkania", undocked from the base. Of course, given the base's illegal status, officer Frost gave chase, with me staying near the navy's capital vessels.
A minute or two later, I joined Buck Frost as he levied a ten-million-credit fine on the liner. We made sure to order it to stay out of Liberty. We split up the fine, and I sent the five million credits received to the Leavenworth.
The story does take a turn for the worse, here. I joined the navy forces besieging the base once again, but shortly afterwards, a Rogue cruiser arrived. To be perfectly honest, I wasn't paying as much attention to my surroundings as I should have, and was taken out by the cruiser before I'd even realized it had opened fire.
The Atwater isn't in very good shape. I managed to eject before it was turned into little more than a wreck. Thankfully, the navy forces present took care of the gunboat, and it's currenly in repair at Norfolk Shipyard.
I, myself, mostly ended up with a few surface wounds. With some luck, the doctors here will let me return to active duty soon!
