Reporting today from West Point, where I was forced upon an emergency landing. My day began at Fort Bush, and I headed down towards Manhattan, encountering a Rogue Gunboat immediately. Combat was engaged, and the fight was close. Near the end of the fight, a Bounty Hunter Battlecruiser appeared and quickly ghosted the ship.
Next was the combat that resulted in heavy damage. I ran into the Phantom "Gloom", a terrorist equipped with state of the art gear. I was far outclassed, he had a Rheinland Bomber with Coloda del Cids, but I challenged him directly mano e' mano and combat was engaged. The battle was long, however before either ship could be killed, bots and batteries were mostly exhausted on my side and he remained well off, and a few good shots blew away much of my armament. Left only with my Paralyzer Missile, Nuclear Mines, and the Supernova, I changed tactics. Interestingly this seemed to help and I had a couple of near misses as supernova rounds whistled near his ship. However I had only a few chances with the missiles I had remaining, and eventually I was left out of ammunition for all weapons. Thusly I conceded defeat to the opponent and prepared to dodge fire as I retreated--then something interesting. He stated something to the effect of "You fight with rare honor, so go." I guess a reference to our fight not involving the typical cries for backup (on both sides)... I was let to flee without being fired upon.
Interesting code he lives by, however I'm not complaining, saved me a ship. I'll be at West Point for repairs if needed.
Ryans out.
