To follow on from Recruit Red Bear's 2nd last report, we engaged several Rogues, with one of them exploding by his own stupidity.
After that, I focused fire on one bomber until my weapons systems suddenly and catastrophically...stopped working. I retreated to Manhatten and got to work fixing the damaged systems.
>Chatty Slave Driver.
Whilst in California, on board the Florida, we came across a slave driver by the callsign "Hawthorn". We chased after her but was unable to get within acceptable disruption range.
Once she'd well and truly escaped, we got an incoming communication from her. I managed to record the important part of an attempted bribery:
I questioned her and the motives for contacting me after she'd already escaped. Seems she was a little paranoid about me getting into her head - The comms cut out.
>Pesky gunships.
I should make a note of two gunships and a Sabre which I kept coming across in the Florida. The guncam shot below shows their callsigns. They disrupted the lane in California and New York.
I managed to take the shields off've one of the gunboats, only for them to flee into the badlands, where Ensign Backus was waiting for them. After a couple of failed ambushes on both sides, we made it out with a few blown fuses in the sensor department - So I went and swapped my Siege Cruiser for my Guardian.
>Another Gunship.
After grabbing my Guardian stationed at Manhatten (After the brawl with the Rogues), I went out and immediately spotted an Outcast Gunship not 10 k's from the planet. Ensign Backus was enroute with a disruptor as I started questioning the perp why he was holding some Police Officers hostage.
Eventually, we started fighting and with the help of Fleet Admiral Hale, we managed to down the gunship.
At the time we were just venting the atmosphere aboard the gunship, another gunboat came along, "The_Lucian_Alliance" and started firing on us. We chased it through to Colorado and destroyed that one as well.
>Brawl.
Back in New York, a big brawl broke near the tradelane from Texas to Norfolk Shipyard - We were called to help out. Amongst the anarchy, an Outcast Sabre tried to make his escape. Luckily I caught him and shot hit down whilst he was having some sort of steering issues.
