Settling Into new job
16 Aug 2018Esb
.......As my mind slowly lingered thinking about how may first day on the new job would go i spent maybe 5 minutes at my desk....i didnt even get a chance to put up some personal belongings on the walls or the desk. I looked out the window and gathered my thoughts just for a few minutes and as i did i noticed a beaten and battered type 9 transporter with outlaw tags on it. Now seeing a ship with our tags is normal what is not is how the ship returned to port...Beaten and battered, laser marks all over it with its cargo hatch beat to 0%...The ship itself had minimal life support upon arriving witch rendered both the crew unconscious.Lukily for them autopilot brought their ship to our port..After a brief time in the med bay they were strong enough to talk to our head of military operations. After a short briefing we found that raiders had attacked at one of our resource sites around the 5th planet....With our military tied up in other affairs the privateers division took matters into their own hands...Cmdr Velswraith myself joined by Cmdr sku77s from our industry division prepped and set way.Upon our arrival we found debris scattered, some escape pods and black boxes from the debris, As we start to inspect the data we hear it......ping.................ping...............ping...........ping...ping..ping ping ping...suddenly the alert come's over the com's systems-------incoming missile------seconds later a salvo of pack-hound's blast into all our ships from all directions. At that same time the radar on my ship lite up with enemy contact's almost completely surrounding us....The call comes in....WEAPONS FREE!!...I deploy hard-point's deploy the slf and BOOM another salvo from behind me....As i turn to engage i can see cmdrs vels and sku77s moving into position for an attack run.....And than i see it....A battle cruiser....we were in a fight with a battle cruiser and 6 vipers...How this thing passed by our security ships we'll have to find out but this thing must either be destroyed or overtaken...But that is too risky as the pirates may trigger the self destruct.....As our fighters took care of the smaller ship we focused on destroying the battle cruiser ...It seemed as if the more we fought the more it fought however after our fighters took care of the vipers they came and joined the fight......lasers,mines,multi-cannon rounds glowing everywhere the eye could see....This show went on for what seemed like hours but in the end the outlaws prevailed Ending in one of the most spectacular blast that ive ever seen. We all headed back to dock shook hands congratulated each other on a job well done than went back to our quarters for some rack time...Today the privateers proved to be a Great asset to the outlaw community and will only open greater opportunity and offer greater security to the home systems..
