*REPORT: Patrol*
*PATROL AREA: New York, California*
*PRIORITY: PETTY*
First I'm going to apologize...Cheif..sir... for my Lack of reports filled out, I realise That I've been putting off my duties as a member of the LPI, And I have diminished the standard we set for ourselves. But please...Don't put me on latrine duty again...
Well, I started my patrol around the system. About halfway through I'd gotten a report from the LNS-Omaha that there were pirates in the system in the Texas area, This was nothing but a false report. Reported from the pirate himself. I fell for this facade, and for my incompetence a trader lost his ship and the pirate escaped before I could even arrive on the scene. I returned to planet manhattan's comfortable orbite and listened to the Idle exchange of deep space stories; told by the most interesting freelancers. I was just about to land for the afternoon when I ran into LPI-Henrique.Pacifica. *He Chuckles* A funny little guy for sure. We decided to check out the california system. When we arrived we bumped into a few pirates engaging a navy LABC pilot, We jumped in to help....After a few short minutes It erupted into a large battle. Outcasts, Hellfire Legion, Hackers, Navy, Police. Little Henrique made a natural leader. Even though it may not have been his place to command, There were senior Navy officers on the field. Anyways, Minutes into the battle my ship's engine began a little start-stop manuever. Probably some effect of Poor Maintenance, which led to my inevitable destruction, My ship was nearly torn in two by all the lasers being fired. I managed to get out there with my ship, And more importantly my life. *He Sighs* That's the third time that ship has almost ended up as scrap metal for some junkers to loot. Maybe I need to go back to the flight academy because something just isn't working.
