Greeting's Ma'ms and Sirs,
During my patrol of the California system, I encountered 3 Liberty Rogues near the lanes... It seems they were at the edge of the ice field confronting a lone Navy fighter.
[font=Arial Narrow]Rogues:
[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][color=#FF0000]LR-Admission.Price- Barghest Bomber LR-Hardly.Trouble- Greyhound VHF LR-Silent.Stalker- Raven's Talon VHF
The two of us tried to engage them... By sheer bad luck, my mine mistakenly hit the Navy fighter and blew up. I tractored in his escape pod.
I was... alone then. Fighting three ships at once was very hard, but I managed to hold out until a Freelancer by name of -blackmamba- help me turn the tides on them.
By this time, there was a whole lot of pirates and no police nor Navy ships to assist me... It was only me and the Freelancer.
Then next came a Fighter, Booker, which also got destroyed: <.> <.>
Soon after, the two remaining Rogues retreated for reasons unknown to me. After the fight they were no where to be found.
When the Rogues where done with us, a Outcast Tridente, along with a Hacker, showed up and tried to shoot us. We tried to punch through the Gunboat's shields but it proved to be strong.
A Freelancer in a Spatial decided to join in the fun of shooting the two of us... His ship was of most concern... we decided to shoot him first.. By sheer luck, his mine hit the Hacker.
The next thing I knew, I found myself floating around the very same lane... I still had the same number of bots/bats yesterday.
I immediately regained my senses... it took awhile to fix the systems but my fighter held on. Suddenly the comms spoke, there was a Hacker trying to pirate two traders:
Without thinking, I saw it fit to confront the Hacker. He returned fire on one of the transports... Which had shields to deter the guns of the pirate useless. The transport made it to the NY JG and the Hacker followed suit. For some reason, the hacker killed himself:
Afterwards, there were reports of Hellfire intrusion around Manhattan.. [LN]Joshua.Ashfield was searching for them around Rochester when I encountered one of their signals... behind Manhattan, we engaged three Hellfire Legionnaires.
One was killed by a cruiser disruptor missile: <.>
Then <strike>Captain</strike>-I mean Commodore Porter came in and scared the remaining two Legionnaires. He also managed to destroy one OC fighter: <.>
For Freedom and Justice,
Sub Lieutenant Remus Sius

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I have recently made the decision to make another addition to Liberty navy high command.
Upon return from a similar operation as Commodore Porter, Tamara Paige has been moved back into the active service roster, and been promoted from her previous rank of Captain to Vice Admiral. She is an excellent combat tactician, and a fine fighter pilot. It's an honor to have her on the admiralty board.
Again, I ask all the officers in the Liberty Navy to treat Miss Paige with the kind of respect she deserves and her befits her rank.

[font=Agency FB]Greetings Ma'ams and Sirs,
It's the first time I use this channel concerning my shifts, well, I got my adrenalin kicks today After a quiet tour through the entire New York system, I received a report about pirate activity in California from a trader. There was indeed a Rogue, sitting next to the notorious Jumpgate - Mojave lane. Not very talkative, with lots of Police and civilian pilots jailed in his hold I opened fire upon his ship as he refused to hand them over. Right before I had him down, he got away into the Sierra Ice Field. Together with a Bounty Hunters Guild Orca I managed to stop him deep in the Sierra field where I blasted his Werefolf into pieces.

Ladies and gentlemen of the Liberty Navy, I'm sure you will have noticed a large number of changes have occured recently, and myself and the high command owe you some explanation for these.
As you're more than likely aware, I resigned my commission as Fleet Admiral of the Liberty Navy. I have since been brought back into service following some rather turbulent times.
Prior to my attempt at resigning from the Navy, I placed Tamara Paige (Vice Admiral), and David Porter (Commodore) in the high command structure to support Admiral Jack Malrone and Vice Admiral Lucas Wilder. Upon handing in my resignation, I named Tamara Paige as the new Fleet Admiral. She introduced a number of further changes in the ranking structure in the higher echelons of the Liberty Navy. Adding Lance Conway to the admiralty.
Many of Miss Paige's actions were rather damaging to the Navy as a whole. Admiral Jack Malrone was unfortunately sidelined during this period, and had little input on various decisions being made.
Vice Admiral Lucas Wilder objected to a large number of actions within the Admiralty and sadly resigned. He is an excellent officer, and one who has done the navy a great service.
Lance Conway's rather iron-fisted approach to the welfare of the officers within the Liberty Navy earned him a dishonorable discharge from the Liberty Navy, on grounds of bullying and incompetance.
Tamara Paige then also resigned, leaving a gulf in the leadership. I was requested to resume my role as Fleet Admiral, and accepted.
I have reformed the high command structure with the following individuals:
[font=agency fb][color=white]
David Hale - Fleet Admiral
Jack Malrone - Admiral
Christina Robinson - Admiral (Commodore)
Stephanie Gray - Vice Admiral
Christopher Hood - Vice Admiral
This high command is currently in the process of reforming the entire ranking structure from top to bottom. You will be kept informed of changes as they occur. I wish to extend my personal thanks to these individuals, partcularly Commodore Christina Robinson, who volunteered to return from retirement.
I appologize for the turbulent few days you have had, however I am assured in my belief that your service to Liberty has been as dedicated and dilligent as always. The high command I have formed, is highly experienced, competant, and most importantly, open. We can and will listen to the concerns of officers regardless of their position within the ranking struture and value each of you highly for your service to the Republic of Liberty.
We also appreciate your patience with is at the moment. as you can imagine, we working all possible hours to return to a stable state within the Navy.
Please continue with your standard patrol duties as normal. You will receive further news and orders as soon as it/they become available. I consider it my personal duty to keep you informed.

Greetings Admiral.

[font=Agency FB]Unfortunately half the things that was told by Fleet Admiral David Hale is either a complete lie or a deliberate attempt to twist what happened.
First of all, all the changes I as the former Vice Admiral of the Liberty Navy High Command committed, were already pre-approved by both Fleet Admiral Tamara Paige and Vice Admiral Lucas Wilder. It was the very reason I signed on for the job. However, once they witnessed the aftermath of the decisions they both approved and took part in deciding, they changed heart. The reason why is most likely because they are too afraid to face the consequences of their actions, and are not competent enough to make tough decisions. Ones that most likely negatively affected some, but would improve the Liberty Navy in its entirety.
Thoughts that were not only shared by them prior to these changes, but also from veterans such as Lieutenant Hank Kapinos or Commander Tom Preager. There are many other silent supporters, ones that this Fleet Admiral is too blind to see but were constantly shut down under his rule of supremacy.
Finally, it's important to remember that there could absolutely be no damage to the Liberty Navy, when such implemented changes existed only for a single day. But damages have been done under the stagnant changes conducted by our current Fleet Admiral, who has successfully managed to driven off all the competent enforcement of our Navy by resignation, or by silently remaining inactive on duty. As much as you like to tell yourself otherwise before you go to bed, know that you have absolutely nobody in your current Navy that has the abilities or skills of the people who used to serve you.
I hope this message sheds some light to the man who sides with a serial killer because she happens to be a woman.

Since Mr Lance Conway has been removed from the Liberty Navy's ranks, his access to this channel has also been revoked. It seems he is rather bitter about something.
