This evening on patrol reports came in of the criminal Prospector in the Colorado system. the LNS Utah, LNS Skyshark and myself made our was to Colorado via Ontario and I advised LSF Black Wing and LSF Joolean of our intentions and the made there way seperatley to join us. Sukiyaki Oyakodon seemed keen to assist us so we invited him along.
In Colorado Prospector was not on our sensors but we came across a Blood Dragon NovaPG Raven-Steel in a Ravens Talon. Captain Kress aboard the Utah gave the order to engage and we set upon the Talon who gave a fine account of himself. Black Wing, Joolean and also Gladiator arrived and the NovaPG pilot was woefully outnumbered and was forced to flee.
We then resumed our search for Prospector who had by now left for the California system. Jumping from Ontario into California we immiedaley encountered 2 Gunboats which were ID as Rogue 9x and Grinch 1
After a short fight both Gunboats were destroyed. The final killshot on Rogue 9x was inconclusive but I can report Gladiator scored the final hit on Grinch 1.
The task force then resumed our search for Prospector and we began to spilt up and serch for the fiend. I came across him at Minor, he was escorted by a Bomber ID as Waterspout. They moved to engage me as I advised the others of their position and started to evade. Suddenley a massive ion storm disrupted space/time. When my ship systems came back online slowly the other ships that had been disabled also rebooted their systems. Again I was attcked as the recovered force arrived and attacked Prospector. As ordered by Captain Kress prior to the battle I engaged the bomber to keep him occupied and not give him the chance to put much fire on our Gunboats. This tatic proved succesful as the bomber was forced to deal with me trying sevral times to attack our gunboats but had to break off to defend himself.
Our overwhelming force destroyed Prospector with Black Wing scoring the final hit. The whole group was now free to concentrate on Waterspout but the criminal managed to destroy LSF Gladiators ship causing our first casualty. Shortly afterwards. Waterspout sucumbed to our force but my data box malfuntioned and I am unsure who scored the final hit. I will try and gather this data and ammend the report.
