Deja-vu Junker
While escorting the trader PC|ZMS-Bargehead we were approached by the junker come pirate Marlboro. Following the recent trend of misinformed junker pirating Marlboro attempted to engage in the piracy of our escort. During this process Bravo Commander had to dock and repair equipment and Marlboro saw his opportunity to attack our escort thinking he had the advantage.
To Marlboro's misfortune the repair crew on the station worked fast enough and the Commander returned in a timely fashion and turned the odds back in the favor of the trader. Marlboro was quickly dispatched and the group continued on its way.
Once the trader had sold his cargo and we were heading to the trader's next destination we backtracked from Munich and stumbled on Marlboro again. Without a word he re-ingaged and we proceeded to defend ourselves. Like a bat out of hell Bravo One swooped in on him for the final kill.
While escorting the trader Lady Liz through Munich we passed by an outcast gunboat called Black Sabbath. He was dead set on pirating her without giving her sufficient time to respond before opening an attack, and the chase was on. Bravo Squad was sure to shoot the trade lanes behind Lady Liz and she made it safely to a dockable location while we held the outcast at bay. Foolishly the the outcast began to attack Lady Liz while she was at the station. The station began firing on him and pushed him back into the flanking manuever of Bravo Squad. Then the fight proper began. While fighting Black Sabbath he began to fire erraticaly and engaged at random. We believed at that time he was under the influence of cardi. While it seemed Black Sabbath was trying to flee for his life he rammed himself into a planet.
Receiving a report of pirate activity in the Kyushu area, Bravo Squad quickly honed in on Punisher. While attempting questioning of said pirate he opened fire without provocation. A brief skirmish took place and while Punisher had good evasion skills he was ultimately destroyed.
While moving through Dublin, Commander - on a lone patrol came across Ell Morro who was known to pirate miners. While moving up to question him it seemed to be a trap. As Commander approached he saw Ell Morro and another pirate also in a gunboat so he moved back to a defensive position near the Battleship Essex. El Morro and his friend waited for him outside of firing range. At this time a Bretonian military patrol startied coming through this area and as they were momentarily distracted Commander saw his chance to attack. Commander was able to overcome the ally of Ell Morro and then move in for the finish.
