Unfortunate news to report. While on a routine patrol through New York system I encountered two Phantoms Onyx and Desecrator. I followed the two into texas where I was immediately engaged. I fought as best I could, but unfortunately my controls went dead and I lost control of my ship. I tried to use my nanobots and sheild batteries, but those controls were dead as well. The shot my beautiful avenger out of the sky, but luckily I was able to override the escape pod controls and manually eject out into open space. I was picked up after a few hours floating in space by a local trader hauling VIP's and needless to say it was not a fun ride home.
