High Command, this is Recruit Jack Malrone reporting for duty.
Already i have encountered pirates, smugglers and heavily armed battleships on my first day in the Liberty Navy. Here is my report so far:
After just finishing setting up my brand-new Avenger class fighter, i encountered a Mercenary in the Texas system. He hailed me, and then proceeded to say that "The Outcasts would pay dearly to see me gone", or something to that effect; camera and recording systems were still booting up on the ship, so i was not able to record exactly what the Mercenary said. After that, he engaged me, and he came off second best, his ship debris now orbiting the planet.
After that encounter, i got a distress signal from the Liberty Police in New York, saying that the West Point-California trade lane had been comprimised by pirates, and they needed my assistance. Unfortunately soon after engaging in battle, my ship started to rock violently, probably caused by the damage taken by that blasted mercenary. I was forced to abandon my new ship, and jettison. Luckily i was able to acquire a new ship reasonably quickly, and was back out there. http://imageshack.us][/url]
I would like to thank the bounty hunter Amaranth for his assistance in this matter. We got the first slave smuggler, but the other one escaped capture, his name was: Andy.Caesar
Day Summary:
Mercenary Zane Frazier --DESTROYED-- Reason: Attacking Liberty Navy ship
Pirates blocking WP-California TL in NY, quickly overpowered and forced to eject
Massive Order and pirate fleet orbiting Manhatten; Emergency landing was required on Manhatten
Two slave smugglers in Texas; --ONLY ONE CAUGHT-- Andy.Caesar escaped with full load of slaves
Well, i didn't think i would see this much action on my first day, but i guess crime does not care if its your first day on the job. This is Liberty Navy Recruit Jack Malrone, signing out.
