Launched from West Point and got a distress call from Manhattan. A couple of Rogues hijacked Rhino Express, a passenger transport. They demanded a million credits for the release of the hostages. I duped them into thinking I was getting them the money, then went EV and boarded their ship. Before they knew what hit them, I was on the bridge with my peacekeeper. It could have gone smoother from there, but a mining ship tried to catch the transport in it's asteroid clamps. The ship was knocked into atmo and blew. Luckily the passenger compartment was scooped up along with everyone else by a BHG gunboat, call sign Painkiller. The captain followed my instruction and the rogues, passengers, and myself were all put down safely.
I re-boarded my Patriot and went after a slave liner that passed by, Slave.Liner-XT.19-Tango. Turns out it was AI controlled. It carried no slaves, so the others that arrived to assist let it go. Thanks to LSF Jordi and officers Dallas and Goodman for the speedy arrivals. I talked with the AI at length and found it came from Xeno and Rogue commanders. However, it had long been out of contact with them, and most of it's authorized command staff were dead. I convinced it to go to Baltimore shipyards for repairs, rather than flying itself into the sun. There it allowed us to reprogram it somewhat. We erased all but one of it's criminal commanders from the registry of authorized personnel. After that I had the AI itself added so it could amend or countermand the orders of the remaining commander. I advised it to continue functioning as an observation craft and to follow Liberty protocols. It agreed, and I sent the ship on it's way. It seemed competent of keeping out of trouble, and it almost seemed like it wanted to avoid being troublesome. I intend to track down this craft again later on to see what progress it has made. so if anyone sees it, please let me know.
After some spectating of training in Connecticut, I made my was back to West Point and prepared for my trip to California. An ion storm interrupted the journey, so I have filed this report while I wait.
