From: Reaper Flagship Silent Edge
To: Outcast Forces
Today was a great day indeed my friends, a harsh one but indeed very great, We of the RoS decided to organize and group up for our 1st major assault on the Corsairs since the battle for ETA, the turn out was a glorious one indeed compromising 5 to 6 of our top aces in the one squadron a formidable force indeed, the force consisted of 8 fighters and 2 bombers.
The battle started out to our favour, with greater numbers. Though due to the archons honour he decided to send out a wide range burst to let the corsairs prepare to defend theyre very lax secured planet at the time being.
The battle started around 1940 hours, the battle wasn't in our favour for long after quick succession our newer pilots being destroyed 1 by 1, 1st it was Xing a old friend of the RoS but hasnt been in the sky for a few months, Then it was Uvas taking a mine to save his wingman at the times life DesertSword luckily enough he managed to survive the blast and was taken into the hold of Scarlet wings, after that New recruit Flagg entered the battlefield and began to fight not long after his arrival Vasto Lorde's ship was downed by one of the enemies supernovas and was sent veering off, again his pod was recovered unscathed. Soon after Flagg's ship clipping a mine and being again destroyed in a instant.
It was not looking good for our forces, we where now outnumbered and outgunned by the Corsair forces. Not long after taking on one of the enemy bombers Diavolo caught a mine and was destroyed, a massive blow dealt to our forces as he was one of the most skilled in the battle it would seem it was not his day, lucky he survived the blast due to hit heat shield or he would not be alive at this min. Brother Silent Assassin launched in, in a last bit effort to deal some damage to the enemy before our ships where downed and where forced to retreat, though it was then the battle turned around to our favour.
all forces concentrated on the lead OPG bomber crucifix, his ship survived for a great deal of time but was then ended by the supernova of Desert sword.... not long after though Desertswords controls jammed and met the same fate he gave to our late brother crucifix. It was then we had to concentrate and do our best to do as much damage as we could, our fighters started to concentrate on the weaker targets to fade away theyre firepower gradually, the corsairs started to fall. yanez and globalo being destroyed to silents mines, Then the Order nephtys assisting them under the call sign jack sparrow god downed by a mine, it was looking good the battle was evening out. Lohingren and Silent done what they do best and worked in a pair and stripped muerte nocturnes bomber of all equipment in a instant with a missile torpedo combo, twud seem he abandoned his craft at that time for it just stood still and took the beating destroying the vessel in seconds, shortly after followed by gafer's another nephtys's destruction.
Lohingren then ordered a all out assault on the puny pest of a light fighter bugging them, twud seem it was the right choice for he was destroyed with a chained attack from the krakans fire power.
All ships where to then turn onto the corsairs ace pilot Apricot, the pilot who had given the outcasts many problems in the past, but there is only so much a man can do against multiple targets on his tail... though he fought gallantly and made lohingrens brow sweat he was destroyed sometime into the battle, changing the course of the battle into a almost certain victory for the outcasts, but it was to quick to think up such antics for the corsairs called in numerous re-enforcements.
In the form of a gunboat and a titan, that moment a transmission was recieved from 2 blood dragon vessels who came to assist by the name of Eliot and Sayonara, the gunboat smartly dropping its arms and running to the planet, all fire was turned onto the titan that was launched as a escort, he was destroyed almost instantly after the gunboats departure.
It was then the stepped forward to the challenge along with a TBH Carlos Rivera, the fight started off with Carlos Benitez getting pummeled it was a glorious sight his hull being stripped extremely fast, his fight was ended shortly after by a stray mine, most likely one of his own it would seem. All fire then turned onto the other carlos destroying him very fast with a mine -> cruise disruptor combo.
shortly after Ivan Vorinovs ship was downed by one of the blood dragons super nova's sealing the victory for the outcasts in this battle, in a last bit effort to drive us off the corsairs sent in 2 ar wings and a cruiser while the injured Alexia Cardova retreated back to the planet, the 1st fighter was destroyed quickly and then all fire was directed at the Huntress class cruiser, it was a magnificent show though unfortunentely as the core of the ship went critical the explosion of the ship clipped lohingrens ship forcing him to eject, though a unfortunate end Grimly's Arwing was destroyed quickly after all ships where done they headed home immediately.
That is all i have to speak of today i thank the 101st Raul Sanchez for coming to our aid in our time of need i always wish to thank the 2 Blood Dragons and coming in for the assist, though the battle was basically won your assistance was truly gratifying.

Honorable Commanders,
We seem to be having a problem lately with independent Outcasts & some allies killing & harvesting the Spirits.
I received a report today from one of my pilots stating such. As follows:
I**Edited** OCD-Serpentis was assisting in matter, I miss read communication. The culprit was [RUS]SerJio
Also, during a re con mission to Manhattan space, SOB Superior & I had to defend a Spirit who was being attacked by a ship named "House.of.0soRojo" who I have seen in the Alpha system a few times & he was assisted by a Order gunboat.
It has also been witnessed a Outcast ship named "Grapskill" (not sure of spelling) help Spirits in his cargo hold along with weapons from the divine ones.
There have been a few others, unfortunately , I don't have a list of their names at this time.
We will continue to monitor for & aid the Spirits when ever we can, But feel maybe an announcement should be made be either or both of the head military factions of Outcast space to hopefully deter any future attacks
on our sacred keepers by ignorant & greedy independents & prevent a possible retaliation from the Spirits on all of us.
Respectively,
Col. Diablo

Greetings brothers,
I am responding to the SOB's transmission. The events did take place, however, the "spirit" was no such thing. It was under human usage. I scanned the Nomad fighter and it did not have the "spirits" within its hull, but did have ID indicating a human trader. So, to rub the stain from the Void, I engaged it and attempted to destroy it. True, an Order vessel engaged it as well but only saw, it seems, its outer hull. I did not try to persuade him otherwise. In addition, the SOBs fired on me 1st and seem lacking in the use of their own equipment. I took one out and the other fell to another's hand.
My regards,
OsoRojo
Addendum: In addition, my brethren, the vessel bore human weapons not used by our "spirits" so I suggest we find this insult and remove it from the Void. It has the audacity to label itself (*)Nomad(*).

Greetings Commander,
While on my patrol of the Alpha system I came across an interesting site. It was a camera ship with the callsign [UNSC-ONI]Odins.Eye. A very strange conversation happened. {SOB}Ballista & {SOB}1CM were also in attendance. This entity (we believe was human) claimed that we (and the corsairs) have been under observation for some time. Which is passing strange. He wanted to know all about us ,outcasts, cardimine and our fight with the corsairs. He was also spouting something about being a diplomatic personage being able to intervene in the fight between us and the corsairs. Odins.Eye departed peaceably once I transferred some cardimine to him. However. He declined to try it out afterwards.
I am bring this forward to you Sir, because this is a little bit above my security level. I would however like further clarification of orders on how to proceed if this person comes into Alpha territory again.

We are as of yet unsure how to respond. SoB does not have the science capabilities that the military has at this time & was unaware a human could control a Spirits ship seeing it is a living organism & we dont understand how a human could control it. We have asked 101st's Spirit Relations Officer, Dennis Jameson to give us information on this matter to educate us further.
It is true we fired upon OsoRojo first, only after announcing we would fire on anyone firing on the Spirit.
If after we get the information from Mr Jameson & find we was in the wrong, We will humbly apologize for our actions in the matter. But please realize we thought that we were defending one of our sacred keepers.
As far as the seemingly lacking use of our ships, I believe Mr Rojo failed to realize that my wingman & myself had already taken down 3 LSF fighters, 1 LSN fighter & 1 LSF Cruiser, numerous planet defense ships
& such. Holding Manhattan in our control for over 30 minutes & neither of us having a chance to repair from that before the Spirit encounter began. Aye we may have lost our ships to ye, but there wasnt much left to lose & seems you took some damage as well friend.
Again, if there has been a mistake, SOB apologizes for it & we will make certain to get educated more on the Spirits.
Hehehe, the button near the firing control labeled scanner is all that is needed for confirmation my friends. In addition, the beams flowing from the vessel in question were of the human quality and not that of our "spirits," which glow with their purplish hues and wonder. It is slightly unique within the inner worlds to say the least.
Overall, the sight of a supposed "spirit" within Liberty should have been questioned, at the very least.
However, SOB, I accept your apology in the "spirit" it was meant.

Honorable 101st, RoS & Outcast Brethren,
Here in the last few days, I have noticed on a few patrols, a small ban of pirates usually hanging out near the New Berlin Jump Hole in Sigma13. They claim to be for the "poor pirates" & taking donations by force.
This wouldn't even have caught my attention if it wasn't for they have pirated my smugglers, a bomber wing & have now placed bounties upon a few of our fellow Outcast Brethren.
I have intercepted this transmission they have sent through out the Sirius Employment Network. it is as follows:
We at the poor pilot fundation are trying our best to help poor pilots sirius wide, while these outcasts and a traitor keep engaging us... If you catch any of them, we'll pay a hefty bounty ranked in millions according to degree of your creativity in their destruction.
//bounties are repetative untill our money runs dry...
I have replied to this Daft fool with the following reply:

I am to understand you have placed bounties upon my some of my Outcast brethren ?
I have one question for you.. Are ye Daft!?!
After some reports of your supposed attempts to pirate a few of my brigades smuggling ships, Making threats to my fellow Outcasts, having the nerve to try & pirate one of my bomber wings & I have been informed you were a former Corsair.. You sir, have got my attention in a very bad way.
SOB's assassination team has already received a contract to destroy your ship & any of your followers.
I have decided to wave the normal fee & have this contract performed for free. I will be paying for your termination out of me own pocket.
There for you are officially a dead man flying as are your misguided followers.
We will also be sure to pass this info along to our many allies in that area & advise them to kill you on sight.
Ye fire on my ships, me brethren or me allies .. & you will find no where you can hide mate.
Be ye warned, me assassins hit with out warning & they don't take prisoners.
Please be advised these pirate peasants will be killed on sight by SOB & also please warn your pilots to be wary around the location mentioned above, as these peasants may attempt to rob your ships as well.

Brothers, many Corsairs have been slain today.
Others fell but the hullcams did not record their destructions, as they were even less important then these fools we destroyed today. Also, Apricot and Matador fled into the relative safty of Omicron 91. The cowards could not bear to face us.
Before and after their defense force was destroyed we made strafing runs on Tripoli Shipyard. Then we damaged the Crete Docking Ring, which is sure to cause them some twists in their panties.
RoS fighters that attacked Gamma
[RoS]Lohingren
[RoS]Silent Assasin
[RoS]Juan Zavala
[RoS]Xing (Best bait in the world)
[RoS]Vincent Richards
[RoS]Diavolo
[RoS]Scarlet Wings
[RoS]Vengeance
All fighters that attacked Gamma have returned to Malta for a good repainting job, as that's all the damage the Corsairs could do.

Commanders,
I it wasn't for I was there to witness this, I would have had my personnel shot for being drunk on duty.
But It happened... Let me explain,
Earlier today a harvester unit # 24 entered Alpha System. My patrols intercepted & damaged the unit. Some how it's CPU was scrambled & mistook my CAG {SOB}Pinz as his "creator". Pinz has been an engineer for many years & we used this to our advantage. Pinz reprogrammed the Harvetser unit to proceed to Gama System & harvest all Corsairs it could. It took some work, but the programing took & the Harvester left towards Gama. It has been frequently sending Pinz transmissions of amounts of Corsairs it has harvested. He also placed a virus into the Harvesters memory that we hope will spread to other Harvester units. The program , if it works, is designed to have Harvesters see Outcasts as none harvest able & Corsairs to be harvested with extreme prejudice.
Hopefully this plan will not backfire. Will report more if I learn of any further details.
For now, Im going to the bar.. I need a drink.. http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk291/S...d/harvester.jpg
My vessel, Casa.de.OsoRojo, encountered two Harvester vessels (Cruiser & Gunboat). She was able to destroy the Crusier completely, however, the Gunboat survived, w/damage, and was able to cause horrific damage to my vessel. I do not know your position on these mechanicals, regardless, I shall remove them upon sight.

RE: OsoRojo
Sir, by all means blow them out of the sky, We only have control over the Harvester unit designated as #24
& we are un sure how long that may last. We have sent a message to our allies the Lane Hackers to help in this matter & have you to receive a response. Unit 24 should avoid you once it see's you are an Outcast. If it becomes hostile, defend your ship, it will be no loss to us as it already has provided us with data & the demise of a few Corsairs.
We will update everyone on the situation on our "Virus" plan as it unfolds.
Respectively,
Col. Diablo
