The past few days have been hectic.

I have run two separate patrol actions, the first exploring up into the Ontario/Alberta systems via California. Noting and logging the location of bases, spreading the word to a number of miners in the region.

The only thing of exceptional note on that particular run was an encounter with a LSF gunboat that forced me to withdraw from the system, a number of holes in my Partisan.

It is the second Patrol that is of note.


I proceeded out of Freeport 4 heading towards Liberty Space when I encountered a Rogue Pilot by the name of Kitty.

She had the gumption to sail right up behind my fighter in a lightly armed transport and call me an SCRA Dog ordinarily I would have responded by opening fire, but something about the boldness of this action made me stop and take note.

She was strangely receptive to communicating with me, after a long bout of verbal sparring. I learned a considerable amount about her, her disdain for Cardamine, for the slave trade and so forth and the fact that she is yearning for a cause.

These are the prime things that are looked for in a true revolutionary. I put her in contact with our LRF comrades, and gave her my word that should she choose to visit the Commissar of Recruitment when the time was right, that I would take her there personally. (Of course she knew that disappointing me, or the Commissar, in that interview could be terminal).

I have been closely researching the artifact issue, learning more about the Geneizuishou artifacts and of the Keepers/Bretonian/Junkers angle upon them. I actually managed to secure one of the artifacts in question, the Blue one, after my encounter with Kitty.

I pressed on into the Coronado system, planning to head up to Baffin for an exploratory/scouting mission. I was referred to something called a Goddess artifact and I wanted to see if it was connected to my intelligence mission.

My first encounter was with the rogues, a rather heavy firefight involving a pack of wolfhounds against my Partisan, a senior Rogue (Seamstress) observing and making comments upon how masterfully I was handling the situation, and how she appreciated a man who took charge.

I managed to get clear of the wolf-pack, the Seamstress dogging me. And knowing that I was severely out-gunned, I felt it prudent to rely upon the one weapon I have in abundance. Words.

Seamstress was receptive, more from the admiration of the fine piece of engineering that is my snub-fighter, inquiring if she might purchase it. Of course, I referred her to more senior officers.

An opportunity arose for me to discuss my mission to locate the GS-Artifacts, and surprisingly Madam Seamstress had just raided a Kusari pirate who had been carrying a large haul of artifacts. She was willing to examine the descriptions of the artifacts I was seeking, and found one that matched was willing to part with it for a token fee, and the promise that I would make it clear to my Commanding Officers, that Seamstress supports the Revolution, and will aid us if and when it is needed as a friend of the Coalition.





Business concluded, I proceeded up to the Baffin system a rather harrowing encounter that saw many new holes in my Paper-Tiger, she did, however, persevere, and we successfully reached our goal.

I am transmitting this from within the Baffin System, where I will proceed to try and locate this Goddess artifact and report back my findings.
