Today as I've commenced my shift, I took off from West Point and joined with lieutenant Jake Benson, lieutenant commander Diehardt. ensign Creed Neville and an LPI officer, namely Colin Sinclair. Commander Diehardt quickly took charge and ordered us on patrol on which we've encountered an outcast ship, namely Montezuma.
The commander ordered us to pursue him and he quickly joined in, the chase went on a for a few systems before we finally caught up with the outcast mainly because ensign Neville, managed to intercept him from another system. The outcast was quickly dispatched and we headed back for New York.
Upon our return we've encountered a Xeno terrorist, callsign Wednesday in Manhattan orbit. Lt. Benson, myself, commander Diehardt and ensign Creed engaged him, together with the LPI officer. The fight lasted quite long and was tiresome, but we managed to get the upper hand, due to some fantastic maneuvering by our pilots. The Xeno was dispatched and we once again headed back to Manhattan for a well earned break.
As we came back we noticed that a Junker named Tinkerbell was around Manhattan, and knowing that I've seen her smuggle artifacts before which she managed to sell, we decided to intercept her and fine her. Tinkerbell, upon undocking from a certain base took flight, and that ended up in a prolonged chase across New York. We caught up with the smuggler near West Point and engaged. Unfortunately due to heavy weapons fire from her gunboat I've lost my ship and that is why I'm sitting here, writing this report, as I wait for my new vessel to be commissioned. The Junker was destroyed through the combined efforts from the rest of our pilots and the LPI officer.
I would like to take this opportunity to commend everyone involved in these actions today on their courage and devotion. I must say I'm proud to see the Navy do their job this well and make Liberty a safer place to live in.
