Howdy,
Today was a momentous occasion for two reasons. Firstly, I managed to squeeze my hefty frame back into a Patriot without the aid of any lubricants. I would order my assistant to book me into a gym, but I don't seem to have one. Secondly, it was my first patrol since my release from my former office.
From my first impressions of Liberty, nothing has changed.
I started my patrol from One Police Plaza, where I completed a loop of Colorado. Then I transited through New York to the Texas system, where I began to monitor the jump gates and trade lanes. Since I was getting a few pings of activations in New York, I returned to the system and held position at Fort Bush where I was contemplating which coffee to purchase and how to pry myself out of the cockpit. Luckily, before I could make my mind up, a Bounty Hunter by the name of Jack Valentine turned up and we traded pleasantries. During this time two other vessels arrived in the vicinity, a Navy battlecruiser and a Cryer representative (please note, they do not sell weight loss pills, or at least this one didn't), who proceeded to enter the conversation until we were rudely interrupted by the long range sensors on Fort Bush informing me that a possible AI toaster had been detected on the FB > PMH lane. While they confirmed their findings I held position at Fort Bush, still contemplating that coffee.
After a few minutes it was confirmed by some strange toaster related transmissions that it was in fact an AI, so the Navy battlecruiser redeployed to Planet Manhattan while I stayed at Fort Bush. However during this action I kept receiving pings from the trade lanes coming from West Point that we had insurgent forces heading straight for the capital. Being the patriot that I am, I redeployed to the docking ring in orbit of Planet Manhattan, to keep it clear for incoming reinforcements. I of course completed this duty with heroism.
In the following firefight, an Insurgent gunboat and battlecruiser were destroyed. Along with a few possible snubs. Losses to the large friendly force that had assembled were of course huge. The battlecruiser from earlier even spread its self over a vast area, completely violating the allocated parking areas around the capital. When I find the captain's escape pod I will be issuing many, many tickets for this complete disregard for the law and their earlier attempted bribery of coffee and donuts that I failed to mention beforehand.
Until the next time.
