"Another fight with the National Council. This time was a win. We were able to outnumber them and finally give them a run for their money. We swatted them down, but a couple of us got destroyed. And then a Scylla came out of nowhere. Luckily it was taken down fast once one of our own capitals came in. It eventually ended in victory and we returned to Sabah."

This is Warrant Officer Emerald Pell speaking.
Yesterday I've made my way into the Orkney system to gain some intel about Gallic forces presence in this system.
No Gallic patrols were encountered during my journey. All known bases are still present as well as a GRN battleship "La Riche". I'm attaching my guncam images.
But this was only the first part of my mission. Regarding that no Gallic fighter patrols were present in Orkney, I've made a decision to go to Leeds, despite all the risk.
As soon as I approached the planet, hostile targets appeared on my radar. I was outnumbered and outgunned, but still, I had confidence in myself and my ship. When I engaged the enemy, another group of fighters approached - it was a wing of Bretonian fighters. Together we quickly turned our foes into dust.

I made my way to the Orkney System and Proceeded to Map the location of the bases and JumpHoles. There was two friendly Bases and the rest were Hostile. I found 2 jumpholes, Excluding the Tau-23 one as that was what i used to get in Orkney. Before Making my way out, I was intercepted by a few Gallic forces and I destroyed their ships and tractored in the escape pods. Once in the Taus, I found myself in the presence of a few Outcasts, I had to shoot them too, which I did. Then I made my way to Sabah Shipyard to make my report.
Lieutenant Williams, reporting in!
I've just identified and pursued an outcast "Stork" class Train through Baffin and Tau-29.
I caught up in the former and engaged the vessel 14 clicks away from the freeport.
The Outcast then proceed and brought the combat encounter well into the "No Fire Zone"
and attempted to use it's existence as cover.
When the abuse of hospitality failed, the insolent pilot moored his ship and I was forced to cease fire.
I did not stick around long enough to be caught by his backup.
Certainly, they were dispatched and on the way. Most likely from Cali, but on second thought,
seeing how they keep their ships on the Barrier Gate, I opted not to go back through Coronado and re-routed to Hades.
Did I mention I got a positive reading on a whole lot of people on board the ship?
Most likely slaves, since the chances that much of them would board a train on their own accord are slim to none.
I'll keep patrolling the sector and be a general pain in the arses.
This cardamine/slave smuggling circle must be stopped and I'll do everything I can to make it happen.
I'm attaching black box data.
Lt. Jessica "Crashdown" Scarlet here, Vatman's co-pilot on his last Pytho-raid.
I'm happy to report that we managed to locate, stop and destroy a "Pitbull" full of Cardamine.
The "Lone Wandered" was intercepted in Tau-29 and ordered to space his cargo.
That's when De.Raza appeared, he offered his help to the outcast but I rushed things.
One Supernova later, the Junker was history.
Minimum amounts of cardamine remained in De.Raza's hold.
That Pirate gunship tried to leave and I gladly let him double-back to Tau-29,
so that he's out of the Baffin NFZ and right in my sights.
That's when Hemera, a Colonial Nyx and Raptor one with Hayes in the pilot's seat came to my aid.
Minutes later, we reduced the Pirate to space dust.
I'm attaching guncam footage and ship scan info below.
Adendum:
Report from 18.09
While I was on a routine patrol around Cortez, I decided to check the area between Inverness jumphole
and California Jumphole. In between and near a pirate base, I've identified two Lane Hacker ships.
Now, since I owed them some payback for the things they did in the not-so-distant past,
I've decided to lure them away from the base and deal with them.
And dealt with them I did. They put up some fierce opposition, but in the end the score was in my favor.
With both the Bactrian and the Vindicator down, I resumed my patrol.
No further contact with any hostiles was made.

My first patrol flight after recovery went smooth. I took Lt. Emerald "Fox" Pell to tag along.
Nothing critical to report except of a few encounters that might be taken into account for future patrols.
First encounter: Transmitting log-entry....
Code:
[20.09.2016 19:39:31] CR|-Fox: there he is
[20.09.2016 19:40:26] CR|-Fox: lost him
[20.09.2016 19:40:27] CR|-Hellfire: Where?
[20.09.2016 19:40:42] CR|-Hellfire: Baffin jh
[20.09.2016 19:41:25] CR|-Hellfire: Where the **** did he come from?
[20.09.2016 19:41:43] CR|-Fox: wondering
[20.09.2016 19:42:03] CR|-Hellfire: let's go hunting. That's definitely suspicious.
[20.09.2016 19:43:17] CR|-Hellfire: He didn't go to T23
[20.09.2016 19:43:22] CR|-Fox: yeah
[20.09.2016 19:43:41] CR|-Fox: he might've fooled us and gone over the plane
[20.09.2016 19:43:54] CR|-Hellfire: or under it.
[20.09.2016 19:43:55] CR|-Fox: had enough time
[20.09.2016 19:44:16] CR|-Fox: I'll go to Tau-23 Jumphole
[20.09.2016 19:44:21] CR|-Hellfire: Copy
[20.09.2016 19:44:42] CR|-Hellfire: I go lock the Coro Jumphole
[20.09.2016 19:44:48] Shifted|Squadron[4]: *static noices* *...orgive...*
[20.09.2016 19:45:05] CR|-Fox: a Wild?
[20.09.2016 19:45:16] CR|-Hellfire: Got something on radar?
[20.09.2016 19:45:26] CR|-Fox: nothing
[20.09.2016 19:45:35] CR|-Fox: seen his message?
[20.09.2016 19:45:55] CR|-Hellfire: Unknown vessel, you were detected within Crayterian space. Please give out your position.
[20.09.2016 19:46:13] CR|-Hellfire: Sure I seen it.
[20.09.2016 19:46:28] CR|-Hellfire: weird AI or dunno what transmission.
We got word that the unknown vessel was tracked to Roussillon. We aborted the pursuit.
Second encounter:
We saw a heavily damaged Sunburst freighter flying to Curacao, it's pilot did not respond after a few attempts to communicate.
After a while, he or it's autopilot docked the ship on Curacao. Transmitting log-entry....
Code:
[20.09.2016 19:56:30] CR|-Hellfire: Freelancer.
[20.09.2016 19:56:44] CR|-Hellfire: Good evening.
[20.09.2016 19:57:01] CR|-Hellfire: You should fix your ship asap.
[20.09.2016 19:57:36] CR|-Hellfire: May I ask what did this much damage?
[20.09.2016 19:58:01] CR|-Hellfire: Erm.... Mister?
We proceeded to return back to base.
As we arrived at Sabah, our scanners caught up a Freelancer ship. Callsign Privateer. He approached the restricted zone around Sabah Shipyard. We intercepted him before he could do any docking attempts. Transmitting log-entry....
Code:
[20.09.2016 20:19:46] CR|-Hellfire: A privateer???
[20.09.2016 20:19:55] CR|-Hellfire: let's go
[20.09.2016 20:20:02] CR|-Hellfire: might be a GB though....
[20.09.2016 20:20:14] CR|-Fox: Freelancer
[20.09.2016 20:20:26] CR|-Hellfire: Cut your engines Privateer.
[20.09.2016 20:20:38] Privateer: Greetings Crayterians...
[20.09.2016 20:20:42] CR|-Hellfire: You are about to enter restricted Space
[20.09.2016 20:21:01] Privateer: Restricted? You don't allow freelancers to dock here?
[20.09.2016 20:21:28] CR|-Hellfire: This is a Military restricted station.
[20.09.2016 20:21:55] CR|-Hellfire: Please turn back and keep your distance from the shipyard.
[20.09.2016 20:21:59] Privateer: Ahh that is a shame. You insiste I turn back?
[20.09.2016 20:22:07] CR|-Hellfire: Indeed I do.
[20.09.2016 20:22:42] Privateer: Very well. I am only seeking a buyer for some very high value items...
[20.09.2016 20:23:00] Privateer: Figured I might find someone in the Crayterian forces interested...
[20.09.2016 20:23:04] CR|-Fox: What kind of items?
[20.09.2016 20:23:17] CR|-Hellfire: Then send a request to the Crayterian High Command
[20.09.2016 20:23:29] Privateer: Items of the 'alien' kind. Not exactly legal in most places...
[20.09.2016 20:23:39] CR|-Hellfire: We do not make exxeptions unless authorized by the High Command.
[20.09.2016 20:23:55] Privateer: But, Perhaps even the CR might be interested in the research possiblities.
[20.09.2016 20:24:40] Privateer: I happen to have access to what is called a 'Nomad Power Cell', they are highly sought for research on cloaking technology
[20.09.2016 20:24:50] CR|-Hellfire: You have none of such items on board. Furthermore, this kind of items are illegal around here.
[20.09.2016 20:25:09] Privateer: *coughs* Well who'd be crazy enough to carry it with them!
[20.09.2016 20:25:40] Privateer: But I hear you pilots...if you ever change your minds, and would like to get your hands on that, or some Azurite...
[20.09.2016 20:25:57] Privateer: Or even Pure Liquid Cardamine...I'm your man *smirks*
[20.09.2016 20:26:23] CR|-Hellfire: You know i could put you into serious trouble with those words.
[20.09.2016 20:26:24] Privateer: I'm sure a meeting could be arranged to see the goods...but for now, I'll be off...!
[20.09.2016 20:26:53] CR|-Hellfire: Better don't show yourself around here anymore. This is my last and only warning.
[20.09.2016 20:27:11] Privateer: Aye, just food for thought! You never know what you can gain from such research! Its foolish not to! *static* ((*&(
Transmitting Guncam records.... Ship + ID scans
Cargo hold was, as stated earlier, empty.
This was somewhat awkward and must be taken into further investigations. Since the said vessel had no illegal technology on-board, we couldn't arrest him as it might have been a joke from sides of a mentally unstable freelancer.

Nothing to report until I came across some Outcast.
I decided not to play with him for too long and blew up his last mine with a good placed shot.

"Bonjour! Nothing but a simple patrol for today. We took a visit to the Nomad Gate in Coronado. Nothing there today, but there was the wreck of what seemed to be a fortune hunter there. I found some Artifacts on his hold and took them to Sabah, for the Order Scientists stationed there to study."
Encryption: Unbreakable ID:Lieutenant James Smith Callsign:Hydra Location:Falkland Base, Tau 37 Subject:Patrol Report
Good evening,
I have had a rather busy weekend working closely with our good friends from the Tau's. The Independent Miners Guild, not just them we met and worked with a racing group known as the Archangels Fighters Club and Auxesian Battlegroup too, but today we also was met by The Council to support a blockade which has been under way for a few days. It's clear that the Independent Miners Guild has made this contraband within there space. The goods I am speaking about is known to be "Maltese Light Arms" and "Advanced Electromagnetic Shielding". I am unable to confirm where it is heading but it is clear it is going to Omicron Alpha to our arch enemies, The Outcasts. Not only that but it is coming from Omicron Tau which if I'm not mistaken is Outcast territory.
There has been countless hours, fuel, ammunition used to confiscate and cease all contraband within the Tau region. We have done well and this has been my first chance to get my report in. We have had to fight large numbers of Outcast Fighters from the National Council, but also was met by a Corsair "Legate" Dreadnought within Tau 37 region. It was destroyed non the less.
Here is all the evidence I have collected. I hope this is able to help with further investigations.
