Patrol Report
Well, it looks as though my first day on the beat was a rather hectic one. After undocking from Manhattan in my shiny new Patriot, I joined Officer Tony Jefferson on patrol. We made a quick jaunt about the New York system, and Tony pointed out to me the big-region-of-empty-space-which-clearly-does-not-contain-anything-even-remotely-secret,-and-should-be-avoided-at-all-costs-because-it-is-dead-boring. We then encountered not one, but TWO Nomads. Both escaoed into the big-region-of-empty-space-which-clearly-does-not-contain-anything-even-remotely-secret,-and-should-be-avoided-at-all-costs-because-it-is-dead-boring, though I managed to get a scan of one of them as it passed by. The scan is attached.
Then, as we reached the California jumpgate, we encountered a hacker, one Leo Montana. He was flying a Broadsword class Hacker HF. We engaged the Hacker, and I was shot down. Fortunately, Tony managed to retrieve my escape pod, and I quickly hopped back into a new Patriot when he managed to finish off the Hacker.
Our patrol through the California, Ontario, and Alberta systems was uneventful. On our return to New York, though, we encountered a Rogue Pirate Transport. Fortunately, our intimidating presence was sufficient to scare off the Rogue.
