During my regular patrol on the tradelane from Manhattan to West Point, my scanners detected a trading vessel being pursued by an Outcast Gunship. I disengaged tradelane protocols and tried to intervene on the traders behalf. Unfortunately, the vessel suffered a hull breach and all hands abandoned ship. I sent a system wide alert for assistance, and engaged the enemy until support would arrive. Fortunately, a bounty hunter, Yellow.Touch, happended by in a much needed bomber. From that point on I was no longer a moving target. Yellow.Touch provided the power and I kept his shields down. I included combat video in this report for your review. In addition, I paided Yellow.Touch for his assistance, for it was sorely needed considering I am in an Executioner strike craft.
