During Magnum's repair duty, Vice Adm Greg engaged an Oucast cruiser and dispatched it quickly. After complete repair of my Avenger, heck of a shake down btw as noted above, we launched on the report of another pirate incoming California.
Grouped up Vice Adm Greg and I moved to intercept. After several rantings on coms from said pirate Phelan, and reports that this person had displayed mental instability, we decided the best course was to dispatch him quickly.
After claiming to own Cmd Milrick as a bondsman, we figured out he thought he was in a battletech universe. The pursuit was in vain however as Phelan moved to the Magellan system.
Note: At no time did we pick Phelan up on radar dispite being in system with said supect for several minutes.
