On Saturday, With a large swat team, we took out the rogue carrier Black Scorpion. Again. He acquired another carrier and attempted further havoc in Colorado, but LPI bomber target practice was suspended when he jumped out of the system [Note-we need better bombers if we're expected to take capitals out quickly, especially with the jump drive kidnappings!]
I was then called to Fort Bush to assist Officer Eddie Pulaski with a L'ane. Occasion (and fortitude) called me to use the SWAT Cruiser San Quentin. A 500k fine was paid and the ship escorted out of Liberty. [This has been left on the ship to cover running costs]
During the escort through colorado, between the NY gate and Pueblo, the lane was disrupted by Pirate Jerard.Dinston . Despite the cruiser's presence, the pirate attempted to extort 2 million. When the L'ane and I had finished laughing, and after the pirate had finished counting from 5 to zero, I engaged the solaris cannons and reduced the pirate to dust. The L'ane got the final blow. The trader was safely lead out of the system.
At 22:40 I got called to a report of an incursion by a zoner battleship. On arrival at Los Angeles, there was indeed a zoner battleship. His reason for entry was "exploration". I denied him entry for that purpose, fined him five million credits and eventually sent him on his way.
During this encounter, we got word of an outcast dreadnought in NY. LN-Rivers investigated and found it 15k above manhattan. It managed to make its way into Texas via jumphole and into Cali, where it met the Zoner Battleship Daedalus. As it turned out, both were working with each other. The Zoner declared that an attack on the Outcast would lead to hosilities from him. Admiral Rachel Baker arrived on scene and we engaged the two battleships before they could escape to Cortez. Both ships were destroyed by combined LN/LSF/LPI bomber forces and support ships.
