Today was the first day making my patrols as a Sergeant of the LPI. Fortunately, it went pretty much without a hitch. I teamed up with Officer Shaw and LSF Agent Wolfe in patrolling the tradelanes of New York system. We were out hunting for various known criminals hiding in our system. I must have changed ships three times in order to have the right ship for the right situation.
Boy, did that pay off. I discovered a Xeno orbiting Planet Manhattan that went by the name of Eternity. I tried to be nice and talk with him a bit. I have nothing against Xenos personally. They seem like a misunderstood bunch. So, I thought I would take the time to see what exactly he was doing in New York and maybe avoid unnecessary bloodshed. I didn't even get two words out, when all of a sudden, I hear the words, "Engaging Seymore Justice."
Well, that got me boiling mad. What nerve. If he was going to forego any attempt at chit-chat, he could at least have said, "Engaging SERGEANT Seymore Justice." I mean, is that too much to ask. At least acknowledge the rank of the officer your trying to send to a fiery oblivion. Respect, folks. It's called RESPECT!
So, I thought I would teach him a little respect by throwing some magma smack on his thin plated hull. I took a couple passes dodging his Starkiller Torpedoes and then fired every single one of my guns straight into his cockpit. Man, you should've seen the look in his eyes when Sergeant Seymore Justice schooled him in showing proper respect for authority. (Personal note: Actually, I was scared to death and I got off one heck of a lucky shot. Also, I think he actually ate one of his own mines. On top of that, I think I soiled myself during the battle. Next time bring extra underwear).
Anyways, the culprit is apprehended and awaiting trial. I have a couple pics showing him carrying a civilian hostage and his 'arrest'.
