I'll keep this short due to the events of my patrol being identical to those of Ensign Bishop and Lt.Cdr. Mayer. We stopped a merchant carrying far too many weapons for anyone's good, only to receive a distress call from the Detroit Debris Field. We deemed the merchant as unimportant in comparison to reports of an attempted invasion, and quickly hurried to the scene. After beating back the nomad invasion, a wave of which consisted of a Liberty Dreadnought and Siege cruisers, clearly recently infected, we returned to Manhattan orbit for repairs and to prep for our flight. It was at this point I detected a Lane Hacker attempting to sneak past, and intercepting him, attempted to eliminate him when he refused to come quietly. My ship only barely survived being hit by two nuclear mines before he gunned it down, and had it not held for those few extra seconds, I wouldn't of had time to eject.
