Report Filed By: Officer Andrea Berkeley, Planet Manhattan, New York System
Took off from Planet Manhattan, rendezvoused with other officers near Fort Bush, and was directed to patrol California system.
California patrol was uneventful, until I received word from Myers of a group of Rogues in New York. Returned to NY and rendezvoused with Jack Bauer near the California gate, then proceeded to Rogues' location on the Trade Lane between the gate and West Point. Unfortunately, my ship was destroyed in the subsequent engagement, but a passing Navy patrol took my escape pod back to California, where I remained for a while to patrol and recuperate from the Rogue attack.
Resuming duties from Riverside several hours later, I returned to New York to find the LSF and Navy engaged with Hackers at West Point. Ship was destroyed before I could engage and I was returned to Riverside. While patrolling the Trade Lanes, the lane from California Minor to the Magellan gate was disrupted by Outcasts. I engaged, but a problem with navigation systems rendered controls useless. I got them back online, however a Rogue gunboat had arrived and my ship was destroyed.
Returning from an assignment in the Sierra field, I was hailed by a Synth Foods convoy who requested intel on pirate presence in Liberty. I informed the convoy of the hacker presence in New York, and they decided to cut off their route at Los Angeles. I headed for the Cortez gate to meet them, but the lane was disrupted by Hackers halfway. I cleared them out and met the convoy above Los Angeles; convoy announced intention to move on to Bretonia. I spotted some Hacker and Bounty Hunter escape pods near Los Angeles, and returned them to the Yukon.
Convoy advised a pirate presence along the Los Angeles-Cortez gate trade lane. I moved to intercept, and was disrupted by a Rogue patrol, who I took to be the pirates indicated by the convoy. I took them out and returned them to the Yukon for processing, however the convoy later advised that the presence was an Outcast. Deep space scanners revealed he was in Tau-23, so did not pursue, and instead returned to Manhattan and ended patrol.
