Well now Im not so surprised that Mira and her hubby died on LPI duty... I almost croaked on my first day!
After the halibaloo at Manhattan about that Bret coming was over, I finally got my badge and ship.
Didnt have to wait long untill some outcast who's name I dont remember refused to cooperate with police instructions and I had to blow him up. Rason... Saron... Ronas... some name like that.
Then I followed a fellow police officer'S call to help him destroy some synthetic mahiruana in California. Since Budd the smuggler insisted on getting blown up before handing over his cargo, a huge cloud of smoke engulfed Riverside Station for some time after we insinerated the ship and the counterband.
The following incident didnt go so well... police work can be downright dangerous if you respond to distress calls in the wrong time and place! Some traders complained about 2 Rogues bothering them between Mojav and NY gate. 2 SWAT officers and me waited for re-inforcements in front of Mojav, as the Rogues turned out to be in 2 gunboats. As we waited, an Outcast bomber came by, and we intercepted before he could unite with his friends. Although I was able to do a lot of dammage to the Bomber, the 2 Rogue gunboats moved to assist him, and one of them trashed my brand new light fighter with missiles. Maybe all the smoke from the previous mission somehow got in through the airconditioning on my ship and affected my reaction times, I dont know. If it wasnt for Jack Bauer who tractored me in and headed to NY, I would probably have died in space, or in some Rogue rathole.
Hope to get some armour and better airconditioning on my next ship!
As we landed on Manhattan, I observed a curious scene from my escape pod window: A Raven's Claw with a flashy bright light seemed to be giving flying lessons to 3 foreign oddfish... at least their names sounded foreign.. JihadJoe, Dieter, and another Rheinlander with the same IFF signal who didnt even have proper identification! Their IFFs were obviously also messed up or not compatible with my escape pod... they profiled as having not a single friend in the whole universe.
Well... that was a hell of a first day for me.
Officer Knight out.
