Deveron Kerry here. It has been a most eventful patrol indeed, beginning with some smugglers and growing like bacterial organisms into something far worse in only a few hours.
Firstly I have a Junker smuggling Cardamine [Scan saved] and some DSS who were chatting who I had to ask to move away from the lane so trade could continue smoothly. They had no objections and moved to Newark politely.
Later one such named Lost_Prophet_Trader who fly to Manhattan full of Diamonds on his Heavy Lifter. I have scans saved of his vessel and cargo and can publish them upon request.
Not long after he undocked and moved towards the DSS. I stopped him and, somewhat sandwiched between the DSS Bretonian Train and Prophet's Heavy Lifter, began speaking to him about his breaking of the embargo. Apparently a Gunboat pilot named DSS-Hades mistook me for speaking to his co-workers and opened fire on me without warning immediately after sending a private message...something about a million credits, but anyway, what does it matter?
My pod survived, fortunately, but not entirely to my benefit. I hit a Manhattan skyscraper or something like that so hard it dealt me a serious back injury. Officers Riza Williams and O.Brian dealt with the situation and charged them 5 million for damages. Some of the DSS did not take kindly to the idea, but in the end the situation was resolved. I do say though that when medical finally got to me I realized I was in for a very painful operation. My injury has been dealt with most excellently, but now the rest of me hurts almost as bad.
After that Riza, Crooks and I went out to California in response to some reports of Xenos there. There were encounters with various other unlawfuls along the way, who ran the other way more or less...
After the Xeno threat had disbanded and vanished, I found a Rogue and got a scan of his ship as he taunted me. Due to the pilots aboard his ship, and his refusal to drop them, he was chased off by a Liberty Battlecruiser.
I only wish this was the end of my report, but I'm afraid it is not.
Not long after, some Cartel began moving out of the asteroid field. I got scans of one or two of 'em saved, as with the others, available on request.
After my ship got destroyed by a misfire, the two LABCs that were on the scene, plus another Navy person I believe flying a VHF, engaged the Cartel's bombers and gunship. In the end one Cartel was downed, but both LABCs were destroyed. I daresay that this is disturbing to say the least, but the worst is yet to come.
Afterwords I flew to the NY gate in California and ran headfirst into a massive flood of villians. A pack of missile spamming gunships/gunboats, some Rogues, some Cartel. I have scans of almost all of their vessels saved to file and can retrieve them on request.
The scariest of all was a Cartel tagged Merc with a Bounty Hunter Orca.
It has been such a disturbing last few hours I doubt I will be able to rest without feeling filled with the desire to hijack a Gunboat, overcharge its core and send it detonating into the midst of the anaerobic single-celled micro-organisms.
Deveron Kerry out.
