Today I was returning from Planet Houston, Texas System after several small skirmishes during the past few days with the Rheinland Military. During my way back to Norfolk Shipyard, New York System I spotted several Liberty Rogue and Hellfire Legion members on my scanners. Two other pilots, LPI Lauren Myers accompanied by the Freelancer Reni Hanako were already at the scene, however on a stand-by mode near the Battleship Missouri. I immediately alerted nearby lawful vessels for assistance, surprisingly enough Commodore Robinson answered the call, heh now I know how to get her attention, just ring the bell.
Moving on... several of the hostiles got tired of our defensive position near the Battleship Missouri and decided to head back, however, two pilots were still standing waiting for us to engage. One of those two pilots was a Hellfire Legion member named Ned Ballantine, who would prove to be a fearsome opponent until the very end of the battle.
During the progress of the skirmish the enemy received back-up of a size of three pilots. However, these three pilots were either not coordinated or decided simply to assist at uneven times and thus they came one-by-one which greatly reduced the level of the oncoming threats. With the vital support of LPI Lauren Myers and Freelancer Reni Hanako, myself and Commodore Robinson managed to take out all hostiles, however during the process Commodore Robinson's vessel was shot down by the skillful Hellfire Legion member Ned Ballantine. A pilot who I almost fell prey to as well but with some much-needed luck I managed to take down his Sabre with a Supernova shot.
