Good day gentle reader, it’s been a while since last we spoke. Yesterdays happenings on patrol demanded a log entry, so here we are yet again to tell the tale of one Apocalypse pilot named Licena

This pilot had a “certain look” about her, and I knew deep down in her core she was exactly the kind of devious criminal mastermind that I had set out to expose. I scanned down her Apoc and arrived to find it in the midst of brutally brutalizing an innocent fleet of Sansha pilgrims on their way to an Incursion. Her accomplice in this matter was a somewhat lethargic Noctis pilot that was woefully under-performing his duties. I was obliged to step in and assist, as well as seek justice for the defeated Sansha.

My trusty Vigil made short work of about a dozen wrecks before Licena apparently took notice and both her and her accomplice logged out on the spot. Undeterred, I make a note on the bookmark and proceed to investigate other reports in the system. Several hours pass and I’ve met with additional success on other cases when I notice Licena reappear in space. I wait a few minutes to finish my current batch of reports and to let her think that the long arm of justice has forgotten her transgressions.

I then dash her hopes of a clean getaway. She is back to massacring those helpless pilgrims and though I can do but little to prevent their demise, I give as many as I can a proper burial and see that their worldly possessions are looked after. I sit in a tight orbit around the Noctis and intercept those wrecks and cargoes that he so kindly tractors in and finally Licena commits her second to last mistake of the evening: opening fire on me.

Immediately she finds her warp drive disabled and a very angry Vigil buzzing around her at 20km. Her massive lasers can’t hit our nimble hero (me), and her woefully inadequate Tech 1 drones are quickly mercy-killed as she tries to align out towards the station. My deputy is already en route with the Orca responding to my request for backup and as soon as he enters the room Licena once again tries to bury her head in the sand by logging out. Not this time my dear. The Orca quickly catches up and launches my ever faithful Sleipnir from her ship bay and I make quick work of the Apocalypse.

Left somewhat unsatisfied by this success, as the perpetrator wasn’t around to appreciate the efforts that I went to on their behalf, I decide to make her pay the ultimate price for her arrogance. After cleaning up the debris left from our encounter I notice a lowly Rifter in the Orcas ship bay and decide to send it on one last glorious mission. I quickly scan down Licena’s capsule which is still hovering in space and warp to it in the Rifter. There she is, sitting so smugly thinking that she’s only lost a ship. Not having the time to file the appropriate paperwork with my fellow CONCORD representatives, I resign myself to the loss of the Rifter as the price for making an example out of this criminal and disintegrate the capsule.

The only thing worse than breaking the law gentle reader, is not having the courage to stick around and face the consequences. Until next time.
