This was the first patrol / expedition mission I have been on since I have joined. What started as a small in and around Liberty incursion along side Initiate Knox, turned very interesting when both Initiate Assam and Lieutenant Hurricane I guess, as they have not disclosed their name to us joined in and took us around a more interesting route. I would like to submit in this report both legs of our expedition with more detailed pictures of our flight, however due to the general nature of the flight, nothing strategic or of general military worth has been taken in the form of gun cams, however I did want to document what has transpired today, for future reference.

The first leg: Inverness-> Coronado-> California->Ontario->Inverness

On this leg it was just me and Initiate Knox, trying to get a feel for what Liberty has been up to and to make sure that after yesterday's training we did some more coordinated exercises like formation flying and basic scouting. While we were alone and unsupervised we decided to task ourselves with basic scouting and not risk going close to any heavy asset of the Liberty navy, namely in California, which we were more then aware that it was quite on the doorstep of their forces and that in case we poked around for to long response forces might've been deployed. After receiving the recall we hastily made our way into Ontario, which seems to have been peaceful this time, however we took all measures of precaution as to not endanger ourselves. After the short flight we found ourselves back at Valravn.

The second leg; Inverness->Coronado->Baffin->Tau 29-23-37->Omicron Alpha->Omicron Theta-> Omicron Kappa->Omicron Delta->Omicron Zeta-> Omicron Iota

This was a more interesting route that we took since it had us a bit more on our toes, or even more once we reached deep Omicrons. While we as a group worked together very interestingly and were able to keep close to each other and navigate with ease, the skill of those of higher rank came into play much later during our flight. But while we were in the systems most of us are familiar with, we did quite honorable to say the least. Was was more interesting was the fact that we got to visit places we would not visit on our own just for now. I do however think that there are interesting places to explore and further increase our knowledge, if not of the geography of the systems, about the movement of the Core, Order and Nomads, as we have been in their territory had just a small glimpse of what that feels like. I can say with confidence that the nomad worlds are far different the those we, or at least I am used to. They have this eerie feeling that you are constantly watched, and you feel this sense of impending doom, which kind of screws with your perception of reality and makes it hard for you to keep a cool head and eyes peeled, or that just might be me and my inexperience. I would like that later down the road, to be send again in those lands to try and learn as much as we can from them, as even if I am just an Initiate, I believe these places have a great deal of important information we can access. One of the more important things that I would like to report is that deep within the land of the Nomads, in Iota, above one of their jump gates, they have a number of jump holes that also seem to have connections to a bit more "in land house space". However due to not being used to that extreme hostility In Iota my ship was blown up, but I was quickly taken in by the Lieutenant and brought to safety back home. I will also attach the medical check ups after this expedition, as the doctors insisted to do full check ups on me due to levels of radiation we incurred on the way to Iota and as well the exposure to the nomad worlds, since I was drifting in space for a good couple of seconds before I was tractored back in. Luckily I can confirmed before the files, that I am without a scratch and that nothing seems to be out of order.
