While on sector patrol scanned 2 Rogues 63 & 61 pirates in Texas system and engaged. While hunting, F.E.A.R. (Extermist and another) and KNF-Shikikan vessels offered support in locating pirates. In addition, Lt. Cardozo was called in as fighter support and did SA proud. However, while searching one Rogue left system and the other (Cruiser) was sighted near Houston. He fell to the LNS-redBear guns and was not to be seen in Texas system. In addition, the ad hoc task force found criminal Prospector (Xeno-GB) and engaged. His skills have not dulled, however, we were able to slightly damage him (we dropped his shields and dented his hull forcing him to use precious b/b this time). He eventually eluded pursuit by jumping into Minnesota system. He knows the backwaters well. Overall, the ad hoc task force suffered damage, but ran off pirates.
