Redline here. been a while since my last report, but I`ve been busy. The Fires hasn`t seen action for a while since Alaska is pretty quiet these days. if she is needed elsewhere, let the order befall me.
now, to report my current activities. 2 days ago I assisted admiral Hale in shooting some Rheinlanders to pieces. I nailed 1 in a small furrball.
today I saved an Universal ship that was being attacked by a Sabre and (of course) a Tridente. I laid some hurting on the Sabre and the Univesral ship managed to dock on Pittsburgh.
I've run some patrols also. at Norfolk I was talking to an engineer. the subject came to the Liberator. He convinced me that it is an awesome little ship. so I went down to Houston to see if I could find one. There was one sitting unused in the hangar. So I comisioned it. I must say, you do NOT want to fly that thing when you have just eaten. 30 seconds flat and my breakfast was against the screen and my pancreas was sitting upside down in my gut. what agility. awesome.
Then I got a call from Norfolk: a gunboat needed a captain. its current captain was shoved down a flight of stairs in the red light district on Manhattan. he won`t be piloting anything or a while.
So I took command of said gunboat. I just love ships with big, mean forward guns. she's called the Valley of Kings. I took her and the crew for a spin when we ran into a tridente near pittsburgh. without as much as a cardi-cough it opened fire on us. we returned fire and blew it to hell. I need some training in gunboat combat though. took us ages to bring down the shield.
but she`s combat ready and at the navy's disposel.
