OPERATION FIREBRAND #3
05 Jan 2021Rsassman
Captains log, Star date January 4, 3307 12:54We have concluded the briefings and have our first assignment. We will be patrolling the systems Maia, Merope, and Asterope. Our mission objectives are to scan any beacons, collect any conflict survivors, and signal sources listed as combat aftermath or weapons fire up to threat 2 and non human signals up to threat 4. Larger, more heavily armed ships will be targeting any higher threat's. We know that there are several of the signals on this patrol route, as they mostly contain scouts. The scouts are searching the patrol area for any intel that can relay back, through to there bases in the area.
14:14
Our first patrol has been completed. 16 kills on the flight not a bad run at all. and only bug encounters. 640k pay plus combat experience. always a nice boost. We have some downtime while a minor modification to the ship is complete. Our next scheduled run in 16:00 unless we get a call or mission sooner. A bit of downtime here, then we will work on the MAT file system until launch time.
16:00
Downtime was a good time to catch our breath, and get a little more file work done on MAT as we planned. The fore group mod has been installed, and we shall see if things go better this run. There are reports of Building scout activity around, The ship is all restocked and ready for flight and we are heading out momentarily.
19:35
After a long and uneventful patrol, and lack of income vs expenses at the present time, it is clear that we will not be completing the Carrier ops mission onetime. I have just issued the mission status to ON HOLD when we are able we will resume the mission and set a new deadline for the mission. Unless anything happens from this point forward, it looks like we will be down for the night. Most likely we will be resuming patrols in the morning.
We will be working on the MAT system this evening as well. So far at least we have had time to work on the MAT system, and it is coming along nicely. We also, although now worth more than the accomplishment of getting it, we did get to competent in the combat rankings.
