Good Day Command,
This is Cadet Alec Wylde, reporting first flight schedule. The patrol started at approximately 0100 hours, Sirius AM time. After leaving the Virginia system from where the ship quartermaster assigned a Guardian-class VHF vessel with standard issue Navy equipment setup, I took the Liberty to report to Westpoint Military Academy for further debriefing. On my way towards the station, I went through the Manhattan route, making a simple patrol route in the system.
The amusing part is that I did not expect anything on the way there but clueless pirate, with a Percheron-class Bretonian transport disabled a Trade Lane node between Fort Bush and Manhattan. I went to intercept him. I gave him moments to surrender. I avoided KOS modus operandi, because he had aboard several Liberty Pilots and some Civilians. He gave me no option eventually but to shoot him and disabling his shielding.
After impounding his vessel heavily and seeing he had no way to escape, he changed his mind. He lowered the shields and surrendered the pilots and the civilians. He had no desire to fight further more. I also need to mention that he wasn’t the typical kind of pirate. He mentioned his trip from an uncharted system fighting alongside a joint force of Navy and Rheinland forces against a series of unknown enemy vessels.
I gave him a chance to leave Liberty for good and never return. I considered it a just move because I saved the lives aboard his vessel that, most likely were hostages. I warned him that if he will be caught ever again in Liberty with piracy attempts he will either be nullified are sent to a life of imprisonment aboard Sugarland.
I also took another patrol flight inside the New York system until I’ve reached the Texas Jumpgate where I did encountered a Coalition craft. He claimed he got „lost” in Liberty space and should get for Rheinland space. He didn’t seemed hostile but, Cadet Redding assisted me and he continued to question him. Redding claimed he can extract information from the Coalition in exchange for him of a low penance time if ever caught again in Liberty space. He was escorted by him, outside of our space. An interesting thing might result from this questioning that would involve the ESRD division, and might reveal further dealings regarding the Junkers.
I’ve received a distress call via a sub-space channel from a civilian who informed me about an Outcast Destroyer that arrived inside Liberty territory and had malevolent tendencies. I informed the Secure channel to request for backup and we hunted him till Galileo. We’ve also found proof of Rochester being able to host Outcasts and also a certain installation in Galileo that does the same thing.
Signing out,
Cadet Alec Wylde
