Started patrol from Planet Manhattan, the planets orbit had been relatively quiet, and then I was informed of a situation around Norfolk involving those Indian pirates by Amanda Feller of the reserves. I made my way to WestPoint and then to Norfolk by which time they had fled North.
Radioing for back up the Siege Cruiser LNS-Little.Bighorn and the fleet admiral himself in the gunboat [LN]-LNS-Cape.Horn answered the call. Receiving another tip off as to their location now at the Colorado Jump gate, I made my way there to stall them as best I could, however the Indians were already in a fight with 2 EDGE| Bounty Hunters, the usual 5 v 2 that they need in order to hit maybe a few times per minute.
I engaged in my usual support role, harassing one of the fighters 'The Wappinger' it in order to take the heat off the EDGE ships until the main cavalry arrived, once it did they scattered in all directions, I shadowed the Wappinger continuously keeping him on his toes with the Fleet admiral close behind in the Cape Horn.
Eventually we reached the Colorado Jump hole and a new Indian fighter hit my scanner 'The Mohican', attempting to cover The Wappinger's escape engaged my ship, I broke off and fought with the Mohican, a Joker's-thug appeared from the jump hole, but I'm not sure it realised the intensity of the attack it was about to face.
I was a little surprised at the shockingly poor accuracy of the Mohican; his shield was down almost continuously throughout the fight. On a pass with my ship he ate one of my mines and his own mine discharged in the explosion simultaneously, vaporising him instantly.
The Wappinger and Thug fled into Colorado, the Indian was long gone by the time we jumped after Mimmey but the cruiser Little Big horn dispatched the thug's Tridente gunship with little remorse.
After all the festivities we were ordered to move to California to find an [XTF] Slave liner vessel, upon arrival at LA I spotted a Pirate Roc bomber, he didn't seem to have anything to say about flying in front of the planet with police and military vessels swarming firing everything they could at him, so I didn't think he would have anything to say about me taking him to Sugarland for obviously being a little dense upstairs.
After a little sortie he was brought down, my ship suffered damage from the suns corona as he tried to escape from me, a few CD's sealed his fate in the suns warm embrace.
After that we covered the system and blocked all jump holes and jump gates and waited, then realising the target had slipped by us we returned to New York, upon heading to New York I received a tip off about pirate gunboats on the lane to Norfolk from WestPoint. The Admiral ordered all ships to RV at WestPoint, we were joined by another Liberty Gunboat, LNS-Storm-Assault13.
The hostile ships were engaged and destroyed while Mimmey attempted to flee into the sun, the Fleet Admiral followed in the Cape Horn, we seemed to have enough ships to fight the fight well enough, so I cruised round to the Manhattan side of the sun to intercept Mimmey incase he tried to escape.
The Admirals ship had heavy damage and was warped out of shape due to the suns heat, he headed to Fort Bush for repairs and I returned to Riverside Station on call incase im needed.
I would also like to put forward my name for promotion to Ensign.
