Command.

Read through the report tacked on by Lt. Cmdr. Bradley a few days ago when she reported it, and recently we ran across the vessel in question. At approximately 2300 hours SMT, the Omaha encountered a 'Defiant'-class Liberty Navy gunship with Freelancer identification papers and a Pirate IFF. This vessel, callsign 'LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde', was accompanied by a 'Fafnir'-class Rheinland Military bomber sporting the same markings, and flew within the perimeter of the Manhattan defense grid. The captain of the vessel, of which could not be identified until the end of the encounter (calling himself 'Biggles'), refused to follow guidelines of registration after denying his activity of doing so, effectively informing myself that his ship was illegal in nature. In addition, the two vessels were loaded down with cases of Black Market Arms.

While Chief Foster was unable to acquire guncam footage of this event, the logs can be traced and the confirmation found within the dialogue. I am requesting that the Navy officially tracks this vessel and purges it before more civilian lives are put at risk, as the captain stated that the vessel was indeed used for pirate activity.

That is all.

Hunter, out.

[15.09.2017 22:57:47] LC-Devourer: Yes, a completely silent Overlord.
[15.09.2017 22:57:52] LC-Devourer: Oh wait, he's not silent.
[15.09.2017 22:57:59] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: 'She', goofball.
[15.09.2017 22:58:08] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Mind telling me why you have one of our vessels?
[15.09.2017 22:58:12] LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde: ???: Manners sir, remember?
[15.09.2017 22:58:20] LC-Devourer: Oh no, someone who's probably just as bad or possibly worse than Bradley.
[15.09.2017 22:58:30] LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde: ???: Rightful law of salvage my dear fellow!
[15.09.2017 22:58:42] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: I asked you a question.
[15.09.2017 22:58:46] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Now answer it.
[15.09.2017 22:58:47] LC-Devourer: We found it.
[15.09.2017 22:58:52] LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde: ???: Found it floating in a scrap field a bit north of Manhatten.
[15.09.2017 22:58:53] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Bull.
[15.09.2017 22:59:05] LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde: ???: Dissmiss it all you want.
[15.09.2017 22:59:06] LC-Devourer: Okay, it may have been crewed at the time, but it was nobody anyone would miss.
[15.09.2017 22:59:14] LC-Devourer: If it was crewed at all.
[15.09.2017 22:59:22] LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde: ???: We could have left that detail out you know...
[15.09.2017 22:59:36] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: I'm not even neverminding the cargo the Chief's reading off your ships.
[15.09.2017 22:59:37] LC-Devourer: We could have, sure.
[15.09.2017 22:59:47] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Why haven't you registered that ship?
[15.09.2017 22:59:50] LC-Devourer: Oh, you mean our personal protection?
[15.09.2017 23:00:10] LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde: ???: Sirius is a dangerous place these days.
[15.09.2017 23:00:15] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Doesn't matter.
[15.09.2017 23:00:24] LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde: ???: All these neer-dowells running about.
[15.09.2017 23:00:28] LC-Devourer: That is a very good question. The most obvious answer can be summed up as, um, I'm actually too lazy to come up with an insult
[15.09.2017 23:00:30] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: If you fly our ships, they need to be registered.
[15.09.2017 23:00:48] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: I don't care whether you found the damn thing, or if Santa gave it to you.
[15.09.2017 23:00:52] LC-Devourer: We registered the ships with ourselves.
[15.09.2017 23:01:02] LC-Devourer: They're registered enough anywhere that matters.
[15.09.2017 23:01:09] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Wrong answer.
[15.09.2017 23:01:19] LC-Devourer: Regardless, it's the one you're stuck with, lassie.
[15.09.2017 23:01:23] LC-Devourer: Come along, we got stuff to do.
[15.09.2017 23:01:37] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: I'm afraid you've got nothing to do.
[15.09.2017 23:02:00] LC-Devourer: Ma'am, I can't hear you over some hot air sharing a bridge with you.
[15.09.2017 23:02:05] LC-Devourer: It's blowing too hard.
[15.09.2017 23:02:07] LNS-Raleigh: LtCmdr Ramsey: Greetings!
[15.09.2017 23:02:11] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: You're going to set down on the Capital right now and fill out the registration form, or I can put a huge hole-
[15.09.2017 23:02:12] LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde: ???: As a fellow I once knew well said, "I have always found redtape and beauracracy to get in the way of the more pleasurable-
[15.09.2017 23:02:15] 5th|LNS-Omaha: -through your ship.
[15.09.2017 23:02:16] LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde: things in life".
[15.09.2017 23:02:23] LC-Devourer: You can try, silly girl.
[15.09.2017 23:02:25] LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde: ???: Wise words.
[15.09.2017 23:02:34] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: I'm more girl than you can handle, smartass.
[15.09.2017 23:02:46] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: And I'm sure as hell not one you wanna mess with.
[15.09.2017 23:02:52] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Now. Register it.
[15.09.2017 23:03:02] LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde: ???: Perhaps I might depart, getting a bit to steamy for my liking.
[15.09.2017 23:03:12] LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde: ??? Fare thee well!
[15.09.2017 23:03:16] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Raleigh, please corner this ship.
[15.09.2017 23:03:16] LC-Devourer: Oh no, you're one of the crazy girls of the type that get entire starship crews killed.
[15.09.2017 23:03:24] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Moth- ughhhhhhhh.....
[15.09.2017 23:03:26] LC-Devourer: You'll understand if I want to keep my distance.
[15.09.2017 23:03:28] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Fine, then.
[15.09.2017 23:03:39] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Enjoy being a smear on my hitlist.
[15.09.2017 23:03:55] LC-Devourer: I'm such a smear. Oh no.
[15.09.2017 23:04:00] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Next time I, or any Fleet member, sees that ship, you're toast.
[15.09.2017 23:04:10] LC-Devourer: Yeah sure whatever
[15.09.2017 23:04:24] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Funny how you think I'm joking.
[15.09.2017 23:04:38] LC-Devourer: Well, considering the general state of affairs in Liberty...
[15.09.2017 23:04:49] LC-Devourer: I assumed you were laughing lest you be crying.
[15.09.2017 23:04:59] LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde: ???: Remember my name if you do my Liberty friends! I am A..... "Biggles". Yes... "Biggles".

[15.09.2017 23:06:56] LC-Devourer: It wasn't stolen, it was boarded. Slight difference.
