Patrol was very busy today. First I undocked at West Point to two pirates being attacked by four Navy/Police pilots. I joined combat and the targets, in a Slipstream and Sabre, were both destroyed. Thusly I communicated to the two Navy pilots that we should engage patrol, and sure enough upon entering Texas I ran into the [522] Cruiser Forward Unto Dawn. He jumped to New York, and another Navy gunboat joined combat with him against the 522. We brought the cruiser, metaphorically, to its knees, and he asked us to cease fire. He surrendered and agreed to be escorted to Bering.
However, upon jumping to Texas, he reengaged us in an attempt to surprise us. As he entered the trade lane, he cut his engines and opened fire upon me, however I was quick to evade and we quickly eliminated the threat.
After this, we spent some time trying to capture a Corsair, the ==13 High Guard== but mostly he evaded capture.
As this was being had, long range scanners picked up four ships in Alaska. I was the first to make it to Z21, and all of the incoming ships were in fact Corsair. Two engaged me, and to my belief, two were destroyed in New York. The other two fled to Alaska, one was chased there and killed, the other escaped. I was ready to call it a patrol, and settle down to debrief.
Upon entering there were reports of a Phantom. I searched for her for twenty minutes, and the Durango offered a reward of "5 million and my good word". So after some searching, I found the Phantom at the Colorado jumphole and proceeded to engage. Other Navy showed up, but they were simply to spectate. Combat with the Phantom lasted a long time, but eventually I managed to come out victorious. Despite this fact, my ship was reduced to only its minelauncher and Supernova Cannon. Durango did reward me with the five million, and I was very happy to have some extra money.
I'll be enjoying an excellent dinner tonight, thank you Durango.
Ryans out.
