Beginning My Patrols. I'm going to help stop Saunders's Dive from falling apart!

I slept through the night thinking over yesterday's events. Cleanup procedures are still in effect for one of the Officers' Wings of the station. My Viper III, Venomous Strike is being readied for deployment. I'll leave a note in the SysSec office to explain what I'm about to do. It's for the good of EXO — no, all of Wolf 1301!SysSec patrol chief,
I, CMDR iModar, am going to take my Viper III out to do some patrols around the Nav Beacon. I won't interdict anyone, lord knows how people reacted to that procedure. If Unknown Artifacts are responsible for what's happening, I'll do what I can to stop it. By the time this is read, I'll be orbiting the sun trying to help. I'll only go after ships tagged as "wanted." If all is successful then the anomalies should stop. Maybe. To be frank, I'm not sure if they will, but I have to do something dammit!
I'm leaving my shop in the hands of my main assistant. I've even cleared him for use of my Cobra so I won't have to worry about business going down, unless the shop gets knocked off the power grid again.
3 1/2 HOURS LATER
I'm currently in orbit of Ramanujan Dock in the 50 Omega Tauri system. All the landing pads are full and I'm in a queue for the next one to free up. I started out chasing down criminals around the sun, but then it occurred to me that because of the recent expansion into Wayaliti, our enemies may be using that as incentive to bring UAs in. I jumped to Plexico Vision and got a lead that a guy named Slavo may be enticing action against EXO. He was found a couple systems away in an Orca escorted by two Sidewinders. I interdicted him and began my assault.
It wasn't an easy fight, many of my systems were damaged and hull integrity brought down to less than 50%. His ship was faster than mine, but mine faster than the Sidewinders. A moment of brilliance hit me when I boosted, turned flight assist off, then flipped my Viper around where I was flying backwards. Slavo was catching up to me, but my weapons were pointed right at him! I returned to Plexico for repairs, but was told I needed to bring proof of his death to Ramanujan. So here I am waiting for a landing pad.
Just before Slavo's Orca exploded, I detected a transmission directed to a Philip Young. The message was sent to the 50 Omega Tauri system. Good thing I'm already here.
