Due to several local ION squalls the LNS-RedBear and SA-OsoRojo has entered harbor many times this day. My techies are on the job tracing all malfunctions due to the squalls; however, during the calms of the day I have fought in two engagements. First was at Cali Minor in a major fleet engagement of AW, HF, and other enemy forces in SA-OsoRojo. I engaged fighters to cover CCE, SA, and BSG CapShips. Resolution unseen by me due to ION interruption.
Second engagement was in the LNS-RedBear outside LA. The HF-Balisnter BS was engaged by 3 CCE CapShips and I joined the fray. Upon this point, the HF fled lamenting the odds he was facing. I gave pursuit and maintained, however, my comrades lost track and left me in pursuit. However, with enough distance between allies and me the lamenting HF turned as an adder upon the LNS-RedBear.
I speculate he was aware of the loss of lvl 10 shields due to civil authority cutting our budget. He, however, underestimated the LNS-RedBear and her Captain and the true odds he held. We engaged and I rattled the adders cage of misconceptions. Upon learning his mistake, he went back into CD and took position 2k off my bow. To my undying frustration, I once again hit an ION squall and lost all contact. My apologies to SA and allies. I had him! Even though I was outgunned, out armored, and out powered. The HF was flying a Liberty Dreadnaught and he fled from me, with no support within range of assistance.
