Location: Fort Bush, New York
After Action Report:
Intercepted a smuggler who proclaimed himself loudly over system channel beforehand...he gave me a chase from Norfolk to Fort Bush to the Debris field before I managed to take him down with a Mosquito.
I then escorted him to Planet Pittsburgh safezone as some random Rogue gunboat patrol appeared and was getting a bit annoying.
He transported Luxury Consumer Food and stated he wanted to deliver it to Planet Denver. Asking about the source of the food, I got evasive answers. After some more interrogation, he "remembered" he just found the cargo floating in Texas space. Yeah.
I ordered him to head to Fort Bush so they could perform a thorough security check on the cargo, but he decided to use the chance to cruise away into the debris field again. I CDed him 5 times, disabled his shields multiple times and gave him multiple warnings, he did not answer and always proceeded to initiate cruise. I shot him down to half hull integrity and ordered him to surrender once more. Still nothing. So I had to evaporate his vessel. *sigh*.
I continued my patrol of New York and stumbled upon =Multiform=, a rogue Werewolf fighter, disrupting the tradelane between Manhattan and West Point. I asked the release of the multiple civilian and Liberty personell he had on board so he could leave unharmed. Kabal, a secondary Liberty Navy officer appeared as backup. Multiple other Navy officers appeared throughout the negotiation, but I waved them along.
After some minutes, Multiform started to eject the lifepods of hostages and shot them in space. Before he could proceed to eliminate all these pilots, I ordered an immediate intervention and the fight began. After 2 minutes, he started running all the way towards the Badlands, giving us small firefights in between when his shield was recharged. Nevertheless, my good ol' Vengeances knickered enough off the hull. Slowly, but steady. We arrived at the Badlands, but as his vessel was already heavily damaged and he still had the pilots on board, I decided to pursue 5k max into the Badlands. 2k in and his vessel was scrapped. We managed to retrieve multiple lifepods safely and returned to West Point.
