COMM TARGET:Hellfire Legion Command SOURCE: [color=#33CC00]Star Colonel Alan Marskon ENCRYPTION:Command Grade 992, 4.12 Variant.
I took command of the Abaddon a few days back in order to provide some heavy support to a group of allied pilots, along with PFC Daniels. It seems a pair of Vagrant Raider pilots, along with a gunboat with the callsign 'Be.Good.At.It', ran afoul of one of the Navy's Assault Battlecruisers.
Specifically, the Fearless.
In the time it took for me to jump the Abaddon into Texas, a second battlecruiser, the Ra, moved in, and there were reported sightings of Bounty Hunter Orca-class gunship and two of the 1st Fleet's Gold Wing nearby.
As such, it seems the two Raiders and the gunboat took it upon themselves to call in some more backup, in the form of a certain pair of mercs.
Kaze Dagon and Jordy Meller.
The same two that turned on us about a week ago.
Frankly, if it was up to me, I wouldn't have hired them. I don't trust those two.
Regardless, with their help, by the time the Abaddon entered sensor range of the battle, the Raiders and their fellows had crippled the Fearless, so I brought the Abaddon into range of the Ra and began bombarding it from long range. This drew the cruiser's attention off the others, and allowed them to finish off the Fearless. From there, it was a simple matter to eliminate the second cruiser. Oddly enough, the ships of Gold Wing were indeed detected nearby, but neither moved to assist either of the cruisers. Possible dissention in the ranks we could exploit?
Preparations for the Willard Op are still proceeding on schedule. We should be ready to commence the operation within the next few days.
