Sirs, Ma'ams.
[color=#CCCCCC]Interesting sort of patrol. Long range scanners picked up Hellfire Legion ships in New York space. Alert fighters were scrambled from West Point to pinpoint the hostiles, and one of our Gunboats (BuB) was the first to get eyes on the hostiles in Texas. Warrant Officer Polstari was next on the scene in his Guardian and had the decency to actually radio back what we were up against.
Turned out to be two hostile bombers, one Roc, something I didn't recognize and some sort of Battleship. Scans've been uploaded to the database. I ordered the ships out of combat, but the Gunboat bought it as I jumped into New York. By the time I made it to Texas, Polstari was floating in a pod too. Grabbed the Warrant Officer's pod on my way past and radioed for whatever help we could get.
The LNS-Patuxent, a Gunboat joined me at the California-New York gate where we engaged the Legion bombers. The battleship was keeping them resupplied though, so we did all we could to hold the thing in position until reinforcements arrived. Managed to grab a scan of its weapons while I was at it. Once the LSF made their appearance, the Legionnaires jumped back to California, and I moved in pursuit. [HF]-Beta.4 was slow making it to the gate, and the Patuxent gave him the good news.
I held up the Battleship and the remaining bomber, but had to switch focus when the bomber turned to engage me. I was winning, then Officer Kingman from the LPI jumped in to help and Junior Lieutenant Sanders ordered us out to finish off the ship himself.
