Patrol: 6.0 Date: 19 April 822 AS Subject: Foreign vessel and the usual scum Reporting Officer: Kyle Cosmo
I figured no better test then the real thing so I took my new Avenger out for a patrol around New york which was nice a peaceful, Stopped a couple trade vessels gave them a scan but they were all good so sent them on their way. Flying into Pennsylvania on the other hand was a bit different while flying through the system everything was good no rogues hanging around and just a couple mining ships. I decided to take a look into the Ralston Ice Field just to make sure the are was clear as I have found pirates in there before attacking the mining vessels while they are distracted. My first two passes of the field were clear but some thing was bugging me as I also didn't see any miners in the field which is quite unusual so I expanded my patrol range of the field to include all of the Hallam Nebula just in case I was missing something. As I was finishing my patrol of the Hallam Nebula I detected a very odd ship at the edge of the Nebula so I moved to intercept it. Arriving at the ships location it appeared heavily damaged but the ship was tagged SCRA (SCRA|Kyle,Winston) and was transmitting Coalition IFF I attempted to communicate with the ships pilot but they appeared to ignore me so just in case it was a problem with their comms system I fired a warning shot at the vessel disabling its shields but still no response. Not wanting to take the risk that the pilot was simply playing dead while I was around but then attacking miners when I left I choose to destroy the ship and take the pilot into my custody on the grounds of failing to respond to an LPI Officer.
As I was returning to Adirondack to question the pilot I identified two ships using TLAGSNET which appeared to be criminal vessels the last location for them was the Texas jump gate so I headed there full speed. When I got there it was just as I suspected two criminal vessels were there and they had just destroyed a civilian transport. The crew of the transports seemed ok in escape pods so I radioed for a rescue ship for them as I moved to engage the criminals who of course started to flee upon my arrival. The two vessels in question one belonging to an Outcast (Swooper) and the to a Hacker (Traps) fled into the Badlands towards Buffalo Base as I pursued. The Outcast then all of a sudden chose to engage me but to remain silent over the radio he managed to take my shield down and as I went to return fire the Hacker started to ask why there was shooting. I stopped my ship and was answering the hacker when the Outcast began attacking me again. No longer having any patience for him I destroyed the Outcast ship and took the three crew members into my custody. The Hacker seemed alot more reasonable and was answering my question as to what went on with the transport he claimed it was trigger failure which resulted in the transports destruction I have high doubts about that seeing how trigger happy the Outcast was. While he was answering me questions I preformed a scan of his vessel I was shocked with my findings. He had counterfeit software on board which wasn't much of a shock seeing as the're a Lane Hacker but when I checked the weapons of the vessel it had Nomad weaponry attached to it. I asked about the software and Nomad weapons which lead to the Hacker fleeing to Buffalo Base while I was still questioning them unfortunately I was unable to stop them from docking and hiding on the station and seeing as its a rogue station as was unable to even attempt landing in order to try and catch them on foot. So I returned to Adirondack with all four of the criminals. I do think the Hacker vessel Traps should be watched out for very carefully seeing as it has Nomad weapons there is a high chance the pilot and crew are working with the Nomads. All in all I think this new ship handled itself quite well. Ship Comm Log and ship scans of Incident below:
