This is Ensign Reed Icarus.
Reporting an incident involving a cardamine smuggler I encountered in the New york system, a Freelancer ID'ed Mammoth callsign LOOSEUNIT. The captain attempted to evade me for some time, until he seemed to finally understand he would not be able to outrun my Upholder. When ordered to drop his cargo, he released small numbers of the contraband at a time. Another vessel (callsign DeathCollecter) told him not to release any more cargo, then the LOOSEUNIT completely stopped complying and opened fire. It was at this point that I returned fire with EMPs and my Antimatter cannon, destroying the Mammoth. Once LOOSEUNIT was scrapped, I destroyed the cardamine and continued my patrol after forming up with Lt. Reeves.
Later on we located the DeathCollecter and, with the aid of Ensign Hirlerman and a Liberty Dreadnought (callsign LNS-Infinity), we turned him to scrap. Unfortunately, mine and Lt. Reeves Upholders were critically damaged during the altercation and my guncams of the battle were lost.
