From: Officer Bethany Shaw To: One Police Plaza Subj: Patrol Log #4
Shaw here, reporting two specific items of interest.
In response to a call about pirates near Manhattan, I opted to move my Avenger towards the scene of the action. Upon arrival, I was met by 9th Fleet battleship Chafee as well as two strikecraft pilots from the Navy and LPI reserves, in addition to the pirates. One, a Rogue Barghest, proceeded to flee into the Detroit field, while the other, also another Barghest, ran towards the Jersey. I opted for the former, engaging pursuit into the Detroit after him. Under the impression that he could take me, he cut his engines and bark nonsense about a 'date'. He wouldn't come quietly after numerous requests, and was thus engaged. The fight did not last long, however, as the pilot mistakenly blasted himself against a piece of debris with his torpedo armament.
Upon return to the Manhattan grid, a third contact lit up the scanners. An Outcast Rapier, callsign L\-'Scarface'. I moved in, scanning the vessel which contained a heap of Cardamine, as well as the obviously illegal equipment. Numerous attempts to subdue the pilot were made, but in the end they opted to fight. I moved in, covered by both pilots mentioned before as well as the defensive batteries of the Chafee. The pilot was soon overwhelmed and gunned for me instead, which proved to be his undoing. The ruggedness of the Avenger proved its worth, and I was left with a clean kill and a still intact warbird.
Contraband was contained and delivered to Manhattan as per regulation. All in all, a good day.
