As per the preceding reports, this day has been both eventful and successful. A great day for Lane Hackers.
Following the raid on New York, I retired to Leiden for a cup of tea and a bowl of soup. I spent a number of hours in R&R there until I decided to pay New York another visit. On the way there I changed my mind, I thought it more opportune to adjust the friendly attitude the Xenos had toward me. It was altogether unfitting.
Between Pueblo and the New York jumpgate, close to the Xenos base Ouray where the Xenos frequent I engaged a Xenos Starflyer or two. After naught but a few moments I picked up the signature of a Raven's Claw close by. It was a mercenary by the name of Transfigure (or something similar). I posited the choice of donation and atomization and naturally he chose the latter. I engaged and we took to dogfighting.
Neither side had gained much ground by the time a Xenos by the name of Cobra jumped in by the nearby Trade Lane. He demanded that I leave Xenos territory or "suffer the consequences." I decided to ignore these empty threats and he proceeded in engaging me as well. I can imagine that he called for backup as soon another Xenos appeared by the name of Scorpion. He followed his terrorist friend in engaging me. Soon thereafter Schwarz-Pferd -- whom Hugo had disposed of earlier -- also appeared in a new ship. As these things usually are, he also engaged me. We square-danced for a number of minutes until my opponents began complaining of headaches. The Raven's Claw sped off and docked with the nearest tradelane and the Xenos agents retreated to their base. I soon thereafter demanded that they leave as they had been defeated due to fleeing. They complied.
I would like to thank Ernst for his invaluable training that inevitably led to this astonishing victory.
I proceeded in teaching the Xenos pilots a lesson in treating me with the "friendliness" they had become accustomed to and eventually they realized I was not so much a friend as someone to be quite wary of. I am no longer allowed to dock at their base.
I now headed for Rochester for rearming and refitting. At the jumpgate, a couple of lowly Liberty police and navy jumped in and engaged me.
I now enjoy another period of respite on Rochester.
