Sunday: Intercepted Gallic Civi bomber. Gallic junker IFF/ID. Essentially a pirate that the Liberty codex doesn't allow me to bring in yet. ID was Arlequin. Very smug. I dislike gauls, I despise junkers and the combination of the two makes me want to hurl.
Scans here: -1- , -2- , -3-
I joined up with Recruit Rivers to bring in a P-trans, ID XA-Cangaceiro.
Unfortunately I had a malfunction during combat that lead to the loss of my Liberator.
Whilst on patrol in California, Django, a mystery silent runner engaged Rivers and I upon being asked to stop for no apparent reason.
He was destroyed.
Continuing our patrol into New York, we engaged Xeno XA-Night.Adder. Unfortunately the Recruit officer dropped a mine into my flightpath with predictable results. I understand that Rivers also lost a ship in this encounter.
MONDAY:
Short patrol. Whilst in my bomber I spotted three Percheron Bretonia Transports carrying gate/lane parts. All three were in identical ships with identical cargo and flew in close formation. This is the second such combination of three identical ships in close formation carrying high value illegal cargo I've seen recently. I strongly suspect shenanagins.
TUESDAY:
Following a tip-off, I found an illegal base at NYC4 near Detroit
On my return, I stumbled upon a liner Lunar.Falcon dumping toxic waste. He was fined 4m, managed to pay 8 million and then did it again. His cargo was confiscated and sold by Officer Reynolds.
Following this, I made my way to Pennsylvania for other business only to discover a Zoner Destroyer ID Liu.Bei.
The zoner was fined 2 million and escorted out of Liberty
I then moved in to assist in the seige of the illegal base. On arrival a slave ship undocked. Despite claiming innocence, the ship Arkania was using an illegal ship/ID combination . A 10 million credit fine was paid and split between Reynolds and myself.
I continued to assist with the base seige when a Scylla undocked. It was put down with combined navy and LPI bomber fire, but not before terminally damaging the Atwater.
Realising that a bomber was not going to change the course of the siege, I took a coffee break.
