I was having trouble sleeping, so I slipped away to the Naval Office to pick up my ship and do a late night patrol. Shortly after launching, I found myself in Connecticut, where there was a training event. Noticing that Manhattan long range scanners picked up multiple potential pirates, I immediately went to NY.
The problem was worse then I could possible imagine. Outside, a pirate gunboat by the name of Basilisk and a bomber by the name of Onyx Wolffe were waiting outside in an ambush. Seeing the ambush, I quickly smacked the cruise button and made both pirates eat my space dust, and I darted to Manhattan. At Manhattan, I was dismayed to find 2 more pirates, one also a gunboat. In addition, they had plagued the mind of a mercenary to work for them.
Running to West Point, I found 2 allies, =LSF=Flint.B, and Vape12. Realizing we would lose agaisnt such a pirate force, I turned to run, but I realized that I could not abandon my allies, and I joined in with their doomed ambush.
Flint was the first to fall, the gunboats targeted his bomber first. Shortly after, Vape was torpedoed. Amazed at the quick destruction of my allies, I now turned to flee, since with the escape pods of both pilots, it was too risky for my ship to be destroyed. Turning to Manhattan, then Norfolk, only the have the Trade Lanes disrupted, I finally managed to dodge my way around until we has miraculously docked with West Point. Running to the bar, I looked out in time to see a entire Navy Cruiser patrol fall to the hands of the rogue, who soon left, gloating about their victory.
It was horrible, but I was happy I managed to salvage the escape pods of both Flint and Vape. My ship was badly damaged, my left wing is missing, and the repairs will take quite some time.
