SUBJECT: PR 05/13/823
This is Ensign Reed Icarus.
With the aide of Ensign Hirlerman, I was able to supply Long Island Station with 6 shipments of Reinforced Alloy. During my first run, before I rendezvoused with Ensign Hirlerman, I was engaged by Marachello, a rogue bomber pilot. However, the Fort Wayne's gun crews fought back fearlessly and sent him running. I think it is worth noting at this point that Marachello has apparently equipped his bomber with a cloaking device.
Later, Ensign Hirlerman and I spotted a Xeno Camara freighter (callsign crappy.restaurant). Hirlerman attempted to intercept and I positioned the Fort Wayne to prevent the crappy.restaraunt's escape. Once Hirlerman engaged the freighter with weapons free, I maneuvered to assist with the Fort Wayne's cannons. During combat, Ensign Hirlerman was shot down and the freighter escaped, as the Fort Wayne is not equipped with cruise disruptors. Fortunately, I was able to tractor Hirlerman's pod and delivered him safely to West Point.
