The following audiovisual message consists of eye-witness footage of the defection of a Liberty Navy vessel, and the ensuing skirmish between the Liberty Navy and a collection of ships with which we may already quite familiar. I will attempt to add as little commentary as possible before you view the data, as I do not wish to bias your interpretation, but I will first provide a complete list of the surroundings of said incident and the vessels involved.

[08.02.2016 02:34:18] The.Sovereign: ?: So ask yourself, is it important, or would you rather watch an even worse war break out?
[08.02.2016 02:34:37] The.Sovereign: ?: Take 'er home, gentlemen.
[08.02.2016 02:34:47] The.Cincinnati: Mav: Are you following us, O'neill?
[08.02.2016 02:35:30] The.Artemis: ?: would be wise not to.
[08.02.2016 02:35:38] 5th|LNS-Odyssey: O'Neill:I'm just flying arround don't mind me. *sigh*

[08.02.2016 02:35:50] The.Cincinnati: Mav: It's best you be on your way, Admiral. We have you seeing where we're going.
[08.02.2016 02:36:05] The.Sovereign: ?: Railroad it.
[08.02.2016 02:36:14] The.Cincinnati: Mav: No, no.
[08.02.2016 02:36:16] The.Sovereign: ?: I have business to attend to in Magellan, anyways.
[08.02.2016 02:36:16] 5th|LNS-Odyssey: O'Neill:Umm... what if i refuse? You attack me?
[08.02.2016 02:36:35] The.Cincinnati: Mav: Because you were the old navy dog that wanted to take orders.
[08.02.2016 02:36:50] The.Cincinnati: Mav: If you follow us, We will have to.
[08.02.2016 02:37:03] The.Cincinnati: Mav: I'd hate to do it, old friend.
[08.02.2016 02:37:07] The.Cincinnati: Mav: Don't make me.
[08.02.2016 02:37:19] The.Sovereign: ?: He wouldn't be alone, either.
[08.02.2016 02:37:21] The.Cincinnati: Sylus: What's he ever done for you, Maverick?

[08.02.2016 02:37:36] The.Sovereign: ?: Think about it. You're outnumbered, three to one.
[08.02.2016 02:37:49] The.Cincinnati: Mav: He's done a lot for the Cincinnati as a ship. And as an admiral, he's a good man.
[08.02.2016 02:38:06] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: <:: It is highly recommended you adhere to said priorities. ::>
[08.02.2016 02:38:21] 5th|LNS-Odyssey: O'Neill:If you want to attack me Maverick go for it. If you have enough balls to do so alone.
[08.02.2016 02:38:29] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: <:: Correction. Four to one. ::>
[08.02.2016 02:38:39] 5th|LNS-Odyssey: O'Neill:Because I'm not going anywhere.
[08.02.2016 02:38:43] The.Cincinnati: Mav: I'm going to assume you're not going to go about your way.
[08.02.2016 02:38:51] The.Cincinnati: Sylus: Like the old damn dog you are.
[08.02.2016 02:39:03] The.Cincinnati: Mav: I said hold your tongue, Sy.

[08.02.2016 02:39:40] The.Artemis: ?: would have to agree with you on that one Wraith.
[08.02.2016 02:39:45] The.Cincinnati: Sylus: What did you say? We heard static.
[08.02.2016 02:40:06] The.Cincinnati: Mav: Yeah... *Pauses and twitches* what's that?
[08.02.2016 02:40:25] The.Artemis: ?: itching for a fight you cant win Jacky boy
[08.02.2016 02:40:31] If you find your ship in Bastille please check the Sanction sub-forum on Discoverygc.com.
[08.02.2016 02:40:39] The.Cincinnati: Mav: No. This is between us.
[08.02.2016 02:40:51] 5th|LNS-Odyssey: O'Neill:Oh you finally found your courage?
[08.02.2016 02:40:53] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: <:: Unfortunate that /they/ cannot control their primitive side. ::>

[08.02.2016 02:41:07] The.Sovereign: ?: Firing solution aquired. If it comes down to it, we're jumping in, Mav'.
[08.02.2016 02:41:26] The.Cincinnati: Mav: You were always able to be so obedient to the Navy.
[08.02.2016 02:41:47] The.Artemis: ?: my guns will be ready for you order sir.
[08.02.2016 02:41:50] The.Cincinnati: Mav: And when I said, You'd die a navy boy, I meant it. Go on jack. Say something about sylus, one more time.
[08.02.2016 02:42:21] The.Sovereign: ?: A cause is nothing without charisma, it's not worth throwing your life away like a mindless drone.
[08.02.2016 02:42:40] 5th|LNS-Odyssey: O'Neill: You and your goddamn friends aboard that piece of junk. I should have let you die 22 years ago in Alaska.
[08.02.2016 02:42:55] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: <:: Temporarily releasing control. ::>
[08.02.2016 02:42:58] The.Cincinnati: Mav: THEY ARE MORE OF A FAMILY THAN YOU EVER WERE JACK!
[08.02.2016 02:43:02] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: *Enters the bridge* Raven: Hey - ...
[08.02.2016 02:43:03] The.Cincinnati: Mav: MEN! TO ARMS!
[08.02.2016 02:43:04] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Woah.
[08.02.2016 02:43:14] The.Sovereign: Hunt: I'd sit this one out, Raven.
[08.02.2016 02:43:16] The.Cincinnati: Mav: READY THE CANNONS! SHOW HIM HOW A FAMILY WORKS!
[08.02.2016 02:43:18] 5th|LNS-Odyssey: O'Neill:All hands to battlestations!
[08.02.2016 02:43:27] The.Cincinnati: Mav: OPEN FIRE!
[08.02.2016 02:43:29] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: *approaching their chair, sitting down slowly* Uh...
[08.02.2016 02:43:29] 5th|LNS-Odyssey: O'Neill:prepare to return fire.
[08.02.2016 02:43:38] The.Artemis: ?: * he laughs* this got to be good.
[08.02.2016 02:43:42] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: This is going to be like watching two snails fight...
[08.02.2016 02:43:43] The.Sovereign: Hunt: Battery stations, stand by for support fire.
[08.02.2016 02:43:56] The.Sovereign: Hunt: Initiative ships, get our brother out of there.
[08.02.2016 02:43:59] The.Artemis: ?: roger that. guns ready and hot.
[08.02.2016 02:44:07] The.Artemis: ?: going in hot!
[08.02.2016 02:44:24] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: We'll, er - stay tactical.
[08.02.2016 02:44:48] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Monitoring systems.
[08.02.2016 02:45:46] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: *Nanites flow out of some kind of entry point in the room, forming a small figure beside Raven* ERI: "Oooh. They're going for
[08.02.2016 02:45:47] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: it!"
[08.02.2016 02:45:50] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Quite...
[08.02.2016 02:45:52] The.Cincinnati: Mav: For Navarro!
[08.02.2016 02:45:53] Death: The.Cincinnati was put out of action by 5th|LNS-Odyssey (Gun).
[08.02.2016 02:46:04] 5th|LNS-Odyssey: O'Neill:All hands abandon ship.
[08.02.2016 02:46:11] Sea.King: A.S: Oh my...that can't be good...
[08.02.2016 02:46:14] 5th|LNS-Odyssey: O'Neill:See you back in hell!
[08.02.2016 02:46:15] Death: 5th|LNS-Odyssey was divided by zero.
[08.02.2016 02:46:21] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: ERI: "Owch!"
[08.02.2016 02:46:22] The.Artemis: ?: GET OUT OF HERE SCRUB!!!
[08.02.2016 02:46:23] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Well.
[08.02.2016 02:46:29] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: That was... Stupid.
[08.02.2016 02:46:30] Sea.King: A.S: That surely didn't take long either...
[08.02.2016 02:46:36] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: I hope you realise that.
[08.02.2016 02:46:43] The.Sovereign: ?: Of course.
[08.02.2016 02:46:51] The.Sovereign: ?: I advised against this meeting.
[08.02.2016 02:47:14] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: ERI: "Oh man - they were like - Pow! Pow!"
[08.02.2016 02:47:25] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: ERI: "Too bad they both lost!"
[08.02.2016 02:47:29] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Eh.
[08.02.2016 02:47:41] The.Sovereign: ?: That's going to be costly to fix up.
[08.02.2016 02:47:42] The.Artemis: ?: so. what now?
[08.02.2016 02:47:47] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Can't say I'm not impressed.
[08.02.2016 02:48:13] The.Sovereign: ?: Should've had the Athens on hand.
[08.02.2016 02:48:31] The.Artemis: ?: Greetings hacker
[08.02.2016 02:48:37] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: You really didn't need all of that. Eh.
[08.02.2016 02:48:48] LH~Maxwell.Tarn: Thank you for the show.
[08.02.2016 02:48:50] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Take this with a pinch of salt.
[08.02.2016 02:48:54] LH~Maxwell.Tarn: I think I've heard all I needed to hear.
[08.02.2016 02:49:01] The.Artemis: ?: *he laughs*
[08.02.2016 02:49:04] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: If one dreadnought fails to some Military one.
[08.02.2016 02:49:11] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Imagine it in action against the actual enemy.
[08.02.2016 02:49:12] The.Artemis: ?: of course you did.
[08.02.2016 02:49:36] The.Sovereign: ?: It's not outfitted for close encounters like that. None of our ships, save the Cairo and Unnatural, are.
[08.02.2016 02:49:36] The.Artemis: ?: and what of it?
[08.02.2016 02:49:50] The.Sovereign: ?: That's why we jumped in.
[08.02.2016 02:49:51] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: That's /even worse/ - what was the point of that?
[08.02.2016 02:49:53] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Eh.
[08.02.2016 02:50:04] LH~Maxwell.Tarn: What of anything. All this sound and fury.
[08.02.2016 02:50:11] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Call me skeptical, but I'm unsure of initiating combat when it isn't necessary.
[08.02.2016 02:50:31] The.Artemis: ?: dont see anything you Hackers would need to know about us.
[08.02.2016 02:50:32] The.Sovereign: ?: That wasn't necessary, you're right. This whole meeting was a waste of resources.
[08.02.2016 02:50:54] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: ERI: "Oh no! It was totally needed! (It wasnt!)"
[08.02.2016 02:51:05] LH~Maxwell.Tarn: Voyeurism at its purest. The satiation of curiosity.
[08.02.2016 02:51:18] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: You always desire to seek information, Hackers.
[08.02.2016 02:51:35] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Especially when things shouldn't be known, seen, or heard of.
[08.02.2016 02:51:58] The.Sovereign: ?: I'm certain that isn't the last visit we'll get.
[08.02.2016 02:52:06] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Quite...
[08.02.2016 02:52:24] The.Sovereign: ?: Regardless, we've got a million other things to do.
[08.02.2016 02:53:07] The.Sovereign: ?: Our second wing over fighters, the bomber wing, and our missing ships.
[08.02.2016 02:53:41] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Aaaanyway. I suppose it's best if our side keeps watch for the LSF.
[08.02.2016 02:54:06] The.Sovereign: ?: You can borrow Bucketts, Stacker, and Ivan for that.
[08.02.2016 02:54:17] The.Artemis: ?: for what?
[08.02.2016 02:54:24] The.Sovereign: ?: LSF watch duty.
[08.02.2016 02:54:25] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: We'll see.
[08.02.2016 02:54:28] The.Artemis: ?: oh.
[08.02.2016 02:54:38] The.Sovereign: ?: An AWACS Corvo might come in handy.
[08.02.2016 02:55:27] The.Sovereign: ?: Let's hit the engines and get moving.
[08.02.2016 02:55:40] NCV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: You know where we'll be.
[08.02.2016 02:55:43] Sea.King: AS: Names I've not seen in a while...

[08.02.2016 02:56:23] The.Sovereign: ?: See you later, Raven.
All recorded visual information from the incident is appended here, in chronological order: 123456
My vessel was initially recognized, as I stumbled upon the group within their scanner range. However, I retreated to the safety of the nearby ice field in order to record their interactions. I was amused at the pettiness involved. I had thought the Liberty Navy to be more disciplined, but every day my former country surprises me with the absolute idiocy of its attack-dogs. However, the brazen use of firepower is becoming an element of concern to me. Not only are significant naval resources passing into the purview of unknown private groups, but these elements of brutish violence are bringing their conflicts closer and closer to our doorstep. Case in point, after they dispensed with the Naval dreadnaught and their ally's cruiser was lost, the flotilla passed within dangerous proximity of our Montezuma Base in their retreat towards Magellan and sighted me on scanners once again as they passed. Hostile forces traveling within seven kilometers of an active listening-post is uncomfortable, to say the least.
Due to the sensitive and unknown nature of this situation, I will attempt to further keep track of these elements if I am able.
On a further note, due to the hasty escape the flotilla made from the site of the battle I was able to collect material samples and low-priority escape pods from the wreckage before additional naval personnel could arrive. I doubt the Liberty Navy has much technology that could outpace ours, but perhaps the captured ratings can enlighten us on the nature of this particular mutiny.
