Rally up! Defend Saunders's Dive! All pilots on full alert! -- The Cat Chase Part II --
02 Jan 2016iModar
Venomous Strike, my Viper III, is under maintenance. I took my Cobra, The Scrub's Dream out for some trading. Because of the impending fate of The Dive, I've decided to conduct my trading at Plexico Vision over in Wayaliti. I was in Kogich picking up supplies when I noticed on the EXO feed that CMDR iP1lot had destroyed an EXO ship. No communication occurred, so it was assumed to be a case of mistaken identity. Then it happened: One of the pilots who joined iP1lot on his Space Cat crusade popped up in the comm channels. They're prepared to try to kill EXO CMDRs. Some back and forth until the comms grew quiet. I soon heard the emergency channel chime.
CMDR DrunkRenegade12:
Space Cat followers can no longer be trusted. They're openly talking about attacking Wolf, as well as our Commanders. I have removed all known affiliates from all comm channels. Known Commanders are iP1lot, DarkPhoenix, (static because of ion interference) Be careful guys.
Moments later...
CMDR DrunkRenegade12:
They're heading to Wolf.
I need combat ships capable of defending.
Everyone available was quite a distance away. I was one of the closest. Thankfully Kogich was one jump from Wolf 1301. I was soon joined by other CMDRs able to help defend. Funny thing was I had a half-load of cargo. Other pilots started showing up as we went into a defensive blockade of Saunders's. And then we waited...and waited. Tense moments passed as everyone on and around the station were on high alert. It'd been a while since I saw the red alert lights in my Cobra. Soon we saw the location beacons on the galaxy map: They were getting closer. Three of them. The primary defense for the Dive comprised of seven ships with more on the way.
Part of the defensive front jumped to supercruise to patrol the rest of the system. They soon dropped into Wolf and engaged the fleet. Part of the fleet went to meet them head-on, but I chose to remain part of the defense blockade in front of the station. In a short amount of time, the threat had passed: Space Cat followers retreated. I was able to complete my trading business.
Later on, I added some more defense capability to Venomous Strike. A more immediate threat now faces us, and I need to be ready.
