Let me start my report by saying that civilians can get a little strange with false ideas of grandeur when they enter a spaceship. Even one as small as a Starflier. I was head of operation "Crowd Control" - In fact I believe I was the head, body and legs of this operation, as no other officer was on duty it seemed.
One civilian seemed extremely interested in my rear engines and there was a Hacker flying around, but nothing too dangerous. After a few civilians decided to scrap their ships in the atmosphere, I was about to head off when a smuggler came about.
He managed to land on Manhatten before I could lock his ship out of the docking system. I tried to alert the LPI HQ at Manhatten central, but they were all distracted by the upcoming civilian event. I was just writing up an arrest warrant for him, when suddenly he undocked from Manhatten! I immediately locked him out of the docking system and we had a little chat...
As you can see from the logs, he thought the price of his ship and crew were worth less than $8 million. He tried to make a run for it. Emphasis on the word "tried" - We shot him down.
The "Hellespont" owes the state a sum of $10 million credits for smuggling illegal goods and the clean up cost for his wrecked ship.
>Protecting the Civilians.
As their little event started, pirates popped out of every nook and cranny in Liberty, hoping to ruin their fun day. Soon enough, I was overwhelmed trying to protect all of Liberty at once. I prioritised targets within New York and got to work. The first target was a Xeno - Stalicto. He shot off towards the California gate, but we didn't let him escape. He had the gaul to fire on my gunboat, so LSF Agent Filmore shot him down.
Next target was an Outcast terrorising the civilians as they came through the Texas gate. In the "Mafia", his callsign was "Nexx", he was piloting a bomber.
He went through to Texas and held a civilian hostage, "Maj. Sovak". I knew the Outcast wasn't gonna let the civilian live if I let him go, so I opened fire. His attention turned from the civilian to me. We chased him back to New York, where we lost visuals of him.
The night dragged on as we scared off Xenos and Rogues from Manhatten. An Order agent even swung by to see what all the fuss was about, however, he didn't really have the civilian's best interest at heart and was subsequently...destroyed.
A few questionable Freelancers were hanging near Newark and sure enough, one of 'em had some Police officers on board. Although, I believe this one was on the straight n' narrow, the "Johnny Gravis" character was a little more shady. I beamed the LPI officers to my ship and took them to Manhatten.
That was the end of that long shift. A successful one, but enduring at times.
Commendations
I'd like to commend Agent Filmore's assistance, as well as Mr Goodmen's continuing support throughout the shift. Thank you both.
