Today I saw some Mercenaries while on patrol, I wouldn't have mind if they weren't so cozy with Corsairs. I gave them a warning to leave, and they went down the trade lane. Minutes later an Asgard Warrior pilot was picked up by long range scanners, and I began a sweep for his location, alas the search didn't turn up any Asgard pilots, but the very Mercenaries I thought had left. I gave them a final warning, but they didn't respond so I opened fire. One Rhienland bomber and a Kusari Gunboat. I was dealing heavy damage to the bomber and taking almost none, at least until the Asgard pilot Nantz finally showed up in his tiadan. Things were beginning to look grim when my shields fell, but Liberty Security Force Ensign Reynolds came in his Avenger. He began to engage the Rhieland bomber which lead him further from me. It was me against a Kusari gunboat and an AW bomber. I must say Nantz was doing pretty well with his bomber, but he gained almost no support from the gunboat and minutes later Reynolds finished the rhienland bomber and began attacking the tiadan bomber. Soon before Nantz's ship was destroyed the Kusari Gunboat fled. The Washington will be docked for small repairs as she took little damage . Overall Reynold's performance was flawless I couldn't have gotten better support for that battle.
