To the Admiralty and High Command,
I swear nothing's ever simple with me.
Launching from Los Angeles once more, I was on my way to group up with miss Raven, when I ended up face to face with an Unlawful battle group. Not willing to test my luck against a gunboat and a cruiser, I immediatly jumped to New York and requested for back up. Unfortunately, by the time we jumped back to California, they were already gone. As sensors would indicate they were out of Liberty House space, I figured they were no more our problem, and my actual patrol would begin.
We weren't halfway done securing New York, though, when a distress call came to us: the unlawful group was blockading Magellan, so we gathered a massive volunteer bomber and capital battlegroup to crush them. Our rendezvous point was the Magellan gate in California, with miss Raven commanding the assault. That is, until a LSF agent ruined the surprise and jumped "ahead to scout" as we were still preparing to jump.
This probably got them to scatter early, as our group was unable to track them down. Chastizing the LSF for is rash behavior, we tracked them down to the Cortez system, where the Asco was picked off by the bombers of our battlegroup [ERROR: GUNCAM FILE MISSING]. We went on a wild goose chase for a while after that, as the Scylla was constantly leading us all, even after we had secured every known exits of the system. It probably was nothing more than a decoy signal, though, for after a full half hour of search the signal finally disappeared.
Something's fishy about the LSF, I'm almost certain. He simply stated his "mission parameters" as I will call them were complete after we tried to question him about his behavior and how he directly disobeyed an order of the leading operation officer. Miss Raven wasn't particularly happy after this flight, and even suspected the Junkyard Artist to cooperate with the bandits, but I'd be willing to be my career that this time, she was entirely innocent.
On an unrelated note, though, Admiralty board, I will not accept nor tolerate being nicknamed 'Miss Gallia'. It's one thing to do playful banter after my origins, or even nickname me something silly related to them, but I will not accept being nicknamed after our enemies.
Condensed report:
-Met Unlawful battlegroup by New York gate, California system.
-Met up with Catherine Raven for patrol duty.
-Received distress comm about large pirate activity in Magellan.
-Assemble battlegroup in California. LSF agent ruins operation by giving away our intents early.
-Chase goes on for a whole half hour, if not longer. Asco destroyed, Scylla disappeared.
-Cool down chat with the Captain of the Bristol and the Junkyard artist before ending patrol.
