Sirs,
Today while on patrol, I encountered to major incidents. The first, when I first began patrol, was the engagement of Keepers.Gebeleizis. The fight was a struggle until an independent gunboat known as -Gibson- entered the area and helped us eliminate this threat. The Keeper retreated, but not before we downed multiple nomad fighters, two nomad cruisers, and a nomad battleship ((all NPC)). A fair haul for any patrol.
However, on my return, I was alerted to a certain UKMG-R.M.S.EvilScotsman who was at LPI Sugarland holding [Wellington]Gun-Dealer inside. We took quick care to make sure that EvilScotsman (who was flying a Battlestar Advanced), backed away from the station and allowed the gun dealer to flee. All was well, until when we returned to NY. We received a distress call from the Wellington vessel, alerting us that the UKMG vessel had destroyed his craft and taken his weapons stash!
Myself commanding the LNS Mt. Blackburn, along with Ensigns Crookey and Goodman moved to the Colorado system to apprehend the theif and murderer! Upon arriving in the system, I began to search the area, when the UKMG vessel (IMG IDed) dropped out of the trade lane and began to flee into the silver fields. I made quick work of breaking his cruise and engaging him, after ordering him to stop. My Liberty Cruiser was no match for his Battlestar Advanced (equipped with four mortars), but I continued the fight with the assistance of my two fighter escorts.
His weapons had no trouble with my shields, but I did my best to ensure that I kept to his blind spot, in an effort to prevent further damage to my vessel. When he was out of batts and bots, he fled to the Ontario system, and we pursued. Upon entering the system, he asked if we wanted the weapons. I informed him that we certainly did. And his life. We proceeded to take it.
We returned the weapons to [Wellington]Gun-Dealer, and in turn, he made a 50 million credit contribution to the [SA] cause. A good day in all. I returned home with no hull damage done to the Mt. Blackburn.
