Sadly, I am ending this patrol rotation in a bio-gel contraption but, overall, my patrol went, compared to others, rather well. I was able to gain the release of one of our brethren from a passing Merc., who found his pod floating in Kraut space.
Plus, I sent a known pirate running with his tail between his legs going fullburn from the center of combat. Unfortunately, his pesky cohorts were able to penetrate my Miss Belle's hull forcing my abrupt, but hopefully brief, stay here at Freeport 4.
Once released, I shall continue my missions with honor and tenacity.
