Konbanwa.
I went on my second patrol today evening. It took me quite a while to find something of interest besides a few legal traders and miners.
In Pennsylvannia, Helium fields, I stumbled upon a Liberty Rogue Destroyer. One of these shabby junk things. Its Captain thought it is funny to joke upon me and tease me with how useless I am.
His bad luck since I already called the Navy for backup. I engaged the Destroyer on my own once I had enough of it flying away and managed to provocate them enough to fire back. By this I managed to keep it long enough close to West Point for the backup to arrive. A couple of bombers, a Defiant-class and two heavier snubcrafts came to assist me, as well as fellow Recruit Officer Jake Adams. Together we managed to destroy the Scylla but sadly Jake didn't manage to dodge the Scylla's Solaris weaponary and had to eject. One of the Navy pilots took him to West Point.
Anyways, moments before we destroyed the Scylla a DSE vessel gave a system-wide warning about a Hessian Cruiser somewhere between Fort Bush and Manhattan. Once the Scylla was destroyed my Navy backup went to West Point to restock their ammunitions. Meanwhile I went to the possible area the Hessian lured around and caught him. Again on my own I went in to keep it around long enough for the Navy to arrive. They arrived moments later after the Hessian tried to surprise me with a heavy missile. Together with the Navy bombers and heavier snubcraft from before we took the Hessian down. I gave its hull the last shot before it blew up in thousands of scrap pieces.
I returned to Trenton and will check how Jake is doing soon, I guess. My Liberator took minor damage, nothing that would be hard or expensive to fix.
That's all for my second patrol and if I am not mistaking I fulfill the new requirements for the next higher rank by far already.
