Rcvd a message on the dispatch channel that a couple of Lane Hackers were causing some problems in Colorado. I arrived on scene to find another officer standing by. The Hackers were Phate, Jack sprang, Serrafimo, and one other, I cant remember his name.
I had actually considered falling back and waiting for more back up (useless gesture, none was forthcoming) whilst the Cardamine addled brained hackers prattled on with their pre-pubescent joking of our like of Sunbucks and donuts.
Then the Hackers ordered us out of the system. We stood our ground and told them no. Apparently this hurt the ego of the chief bully Phate, so he ordered an attack. Phate, now there is a guy who should <strike>be welded into a escape pod with no Cardamine and a quart of toxic waste</strike> thrown in our new supermax prison.
One of the Hackers stood off to viedotape the encounter for viewing later, so it was a 3 on 2. I ended up chasing Phate around blasting away at his hind quarters and doing a dang good job of irritating him, not to mention dropping his shield. This really made him mad, because he shook me off and started to joust with me. I tried to turn into him to get another hindquarters shot, he launched a mine. I Launched a CD, and tried to pull up, but both of us were caught in the blast.
My liberator did not survive, but I did. I made my way back to Fort Bush minus my ship, but satisfied in the notion that I scratched the paint and a whole lot more on his ship.
End of report.
