Incoming Transmission Liberty Navy, 1st Fleet Lt. Commander James Davis
Good morning, Lieutenant Commander James Davis reporting in.
At 2115 yesterday, a patrol spotted two Lane Hacker vessels roaming around the lane between Planet Manhattan and Fort Bush, in New York.
I was sent to investigate, alongside the 5th Fleet Very Heavy Fighter Witch-6, whom identity remains unknown.
We came across the two individuals running towards Norfolk Shipyard, but they eventually turned around and faced us. We engaged in the fight. After a few minutes of skirmish, reinforcements came from both sides. Two Navy Secondary Fleet officers from our side, from whom one stayed out of the fight as I instructed, and another Hacker from the other side.
That is when things went south.
As we were fighting, multiple ennemy signatures appeared on scanner. I thought about a technical issue due to the radiation caused by the mines dropped during our skirmish, but one of the Lane Hacker, Raphaël Drake, was going towards it. It turned out to be real: a massive fleet of criminals was waiting before the defense grid.
I managed to identify four different groups : Insurgency, Auxesia, Liberty Rogues, and the Lane Hackers we were already trying to take down.
With the precious help of Witch-6, I managed to put down Raphaël Drake
However, the reinforcements were too much of a deal for us.
Our ships were eventually severly damaged, and we could not have more impact on their little armada.
An assembly like the one waiting for us in sector D4 of New York was not new, that had happened before. However, what was most impressive - and most concerning, was the organization of the fleet facing us : from simple fighters to capital ships.
Anyway, I managed to come out unharmed from the skirmish, just some bruises here and there, and a new ship to set up.
Davis, out.
