Tidings.
Today's flight plan started with a call from Captain Hirlerman about a Zoner Nephilim and an escort ship doing what seemed to be sightseeing in Virginia. While myself, as well as the rest of the Mount Hood's crew, arrived too late to aid, we did eventually track the Zoner 'mobile freeport' to Bering, where it was suspected to have stowed for refuge. I recommend sending a communication to the Confederation regarding this.
On the way back to moor at Norfolk, we happened across a Waran bomber firing on civilian commerce. Myself, Captain Hirlerman and Commander Morrell aboard the Salem, while admittedly outgunning him, attempted to apprehend him. He led us on a rather give-and-take chase towards the badlands, and out again, where the Hood eventually laid waste to him. A slight misuse of gunnery firepower, but no civilians were further harmed, and the pirate was neutralized. In the end, it's one less pirate to deal with.
