Yesterday at exactly 1800 hours, I have taken command of the Ven'Gyr. Her engines roared to life and we left Arranmore on time with an escort wing of nine Legionnaires. The journey went quiet, we've not encountered any hostiles on our way. However, I have to report a little lack of discipline among some of the Legionnaires. As we moved through Omega Five, some of the Legionnaires took the wrong Jump Hole, ending up in Omega Fourty-Seven. One of them was Commander Scerri. We've waited in Omega Eleven for the stragglers but she never appeared. I assume the Commander took a different way as we could not find her. The ship successfully traversed several hazardous systems and barriers on it's way home. Neither the many asteroid fields nor the high radiation or dangerous gas pockets could stop her on her way home. Arriving in Vespucci, I have received it's final destination.
The Golden Dragon always accomplishes her mission. She is home safe.
[08.02.2026 17:58:49] IN|G-INS-Ven'Gyr: Y: This is Fleet Captain Hideyoshi taking command of the Ven'Gyr. To all Legionnaires, we are ready to move.

[08.02.2026 17:59:34] TFP)-Ashwagandha: I hope we're not waltzing through Bretonia.
[08.02.2026 17:59:34] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: Falling in on the left wing.
[08.02.2026 17:59:45] TFP)-Kelly.With: Falling in port.

[08.02.2026 18:04:44] IN|G-INS-Ven'Gyr: Y: Jump sequence successful. Going to the next waypoint. So far, all systems are nominal.
[08.02.2026 18:04:45] TFP)-Locksmith.: "That's something I hear often."
[08.02.2026 18:04:49] TFP)-HFGB-Vindicator: West: What the hell is that?
[08.02.2026 18:04:50] TFP)-Kelly.With: That's a good bloody question.
[08.02.2026 18:04:57] TFP)-Ashwagandha: You know exactly why.
[08.02.2026 18:05:04] TFP)-Locksmith.: "It does the job."
[08.02.2026 18:05:13] TFP)-Epsilon-12: T: Pretty sure it is not fitting the job...
[08.02.2026 18:05:30] TFP)-Ashwagandha: A lot other things do the job, yet you chose this.
[08.02.2026 18:05:42] TFP)-Locksmith.: "You may want to check the shielding and its mobility."
[08.02.2026 18:05:50] TFP)-Locksmith.: "Far superior to most things."
[08.02.2026 18:05:52] TFP)-Valentina.Perez: Chingado! It's so bright in here.
[08.02.2026 18:06:09] TFP)-Ashwagandha: Would you like to bet?
[08.02.2026 18:06:14] TFP)-Valentina.Perez: Santa Muerte, what happened here?
[08.02.2026 18:06:16] TFP)-Locksmith.: "Sure."
[08.02.2026 18:06:29] TFP)-HFGB-Vindicator: West: Bretonia happened.
[08.02.2026 18:06:35] TFP)-Kelly.With: Aye.
[08.02.2026 18:06:37] TFP)-Epsilon-12: T: Well, to that ship which I wait West looking into - has no real taste though, see a target and boof.
[08.02.2026 18:06:41] TFP)-HFGB-Vindicator: West: Welcome to 'Exeter'.
[08.02.2026 18:06:43] TFP)-Valentina.Perez: Viejita, be more specific! I'm all ears, I wanna hear all about it.
[08.02.2026 18:07:05] TFP)-Ashwagandha: They've a terrible taste in names.
[08.02.2026 18:07:18] TFP)-HFGB-Vindicator: West: Just like their taste in food.
[08.02.2026 18:07:21] TFP)-Kelly.With: Been so long since I've been down this way. Can honestly scarcely remember which damn fool expedition

[08.02.2026 18:07:59] TFP)-Kelly.With: Not just the Bretonians, but the Coalition and Corsairs, too, have turned this system into a warzone more than once.
[08.02.2026 18:08:03] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: Heading in
[08.02.2026 18:08:11] TFP)-Valentina.Perez: Ay, huevos... that's bad.
[08.02.2026 18:09:21] IN|G-INS-Ven'Gyr: Y: All systems nominal. Heading to the next waypoint.
[08.02.2026 18:09:26] TFP)-Valentina.Perez: Ey, let los buenos tiempos, okay? We'll be through these minefields in a minute.
[08.02.2026 18:09:57] TFP)-Valentina.Perez: Orale, orale! Move this thing!
[08.02.2026 18:10:00] TFP)-Alpha.7: *Legionnaire Vindt mutters something softly unders his breath in response to Perez*
[08.02.2026 18:10:05] TFP)-Kelly.With: We're doing well.
[08.02.2026 18:10:08] TFP)-Valentina.Perez: C'mon, why the long faces?
[08.02.2026 18:10:10] TFP)-Kelly.With: Don't get sloppy.
[08.02.2026 18:10:22] TFP)-Kelly.With: What was that, Vindt?
[08.02.2026 18:10:33] TFP)-Alpha.7: *Vindt lets out a sharp sigh*
[08.02.2026 18:10:37] TFP)-Valentina.Perez: What?
[08.02.2026 18:10:37] TFP)-Alpha.7: Everything reminds me of her.
[08.02.2026 18:10:40] TFP)-Kelly.With: Call her.
[08.02.2026 18:10:42] TFP)-Kelly.With: But later.
[08.02.2026 18:10:56] TFP)-Valentina.Perez: What...
[08.02.2026 18:11:20] TFP)-Valentina.Perez: Que onda? Why'd everyone slip through that jump hole?
[08.02.2026 18:11:26] TFP)-Kelly.With: Lack of discipline.
[08.02.2026 18:11:29] TFP)-Kelly.With: They'll catch up.
[08.02.2026 18:12:27] TFP)-Kelly.With: You were so distracted thinkin' about callin' her that you fuckin' deviated from the flight path, huh, Vindt?
[08.02.2026 18:12:39] TFP)-Kelly.With: Any other day I'd let it slide. But not today.
[08.02.2026 18:12:47] IN|G-INS-Ven'Gyr: Y: Reached the next waypoint. Preparing to jump.
[08.02.2026 18:13:24] TFP)-HFGB-Vindicator: West: Hold here, Ven'Gyr. Let's wait for the stragglers.
[08.02.2026 18:15:57] TFP)-Alpha.7: As I was saying, Exarch,
[08.02.2026 18:16:00] TFP)-Valentina.Perez: Chingadera, we might have to pick up the pace, people.
[08.02.2026 18:16:07] TFP)-Valentina.Perez: Don't wanna alert the Hessians.
[08.02.2026 18:16:10] TFP)-Alpha.7: Would you believe me it I told you that her name was fucking Valentina Scerri?
[08.02.2026 18:16:12] TFP)-Kelly.With: Pop some iodine, you'll be fine.
[08.02.2026 18:16:14] TFP)-Alpha.7: I am having a bit of time today.
[08.02.2026 18:16:16] TFP)-Kelly.With: What?

[08.02.2026 18:17:26] TFP)-Alpha.7: Clear.
[08.02.2026 18:18:26] TFP)-Alpha.7: We're headed B/C 1/2.
[08.02.2026 18:18:35] IN|G-INS-Ven'Gyr: Y: We will proceed to the next waypoint.
[08.02.2026 18:20:32] TFP)-Kelly.With: Hell, it's been so long... used to know the gas pockets like the back of my hand.
[08.02.2026 18:20:55] IN|G-INS-Ven'Gyr: Y: Let us hope it stays quiet.
[08.02.2026 18:20:55] TFP)-Valentina.Perez: That's... some fascination with gas there, hermana. Learned it the hard way, I take it?
[08.02.2026 18:21:08] TFP)-Kelly.With: Spent a good two years workin' out of Freistadt.
[08.02.2026 18:21:17] TFP)-Valentina.Perez: That'll do it.
[08.02.2026 18:21:40] TFP)-Kelly.With: The Omegas feel just about like home to yer beloved Exarch.
[08.02.2026 18:21:49] TFP)-HFGB-Vindicator: West: Better you than me.
[08.02.2026 18:22:05] TFP)-Valentina.Perez: Hasta la madre, con estas nubes de gas de mierda. Argh. How does anyone tolerate this?
[08.02.2026 18:22:19] TFP)-Kelly.With: "Nubes", Legionnaire?
[08.02.2026 18:22:27] TFP)-Valentina.Perez: Ah, I meant clouds.
[08.02.2026 18:22:30] TFP)-HFGB-Vindicator is rallying you to their position.
[08.02.2026 18:22:30] TFP)-Kelly.With: Ahh.

[08.02.2026 18:22:51] IN|G-INS-Ven'Gyr: Y: Initiating jumping sequence.
[08.02.2026 18:22:55] TFP)-Kelly.With: What the hells...
[08.02.2026 18:22:57] TFP)-Kelly.With: This is new.
[08.02.2026 18:23:18] IN|G-INS-Ven'Gyr: Y: Ahh the burrow. Keep your eyes peeled. This place can be tricky.
[08.02.2026 18:23:37] TFP)-Locksmith.: "What a lovely place to crawl into and die."
[08.02.2026 18:23:43] TFP)-HFGB-Vindicator: West: Aight, cosmograph isn't working here.
[08.02.2026 18:23:47] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: Spooky would be my take on it.
[08.02.2026 18:23:49] IN|G-INS-Ven'Gyr: Y: We have a waypoint. Somewhat.
[08.02.2026 18:23:55] TFP)-Valentina.Perez: System jump's, well. Successful. But where exactly are we?
[08.02.2026 18:24:03] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: Moving ahead.
[08.02.2026 18:24:04] TFP)-HFGB-Vindicator: West: The Devil's Asshole.
[08.02.2026 18:24:19] TFP)-Kelly.With: No shot.
[08.02.2026 18:24:24] TFP)-Valentina.Perez: ...Viejita, can I have a real answer now? Chingada, this place is scary.I
[08.02.2026 18:24:33] TFP)-Alpha.7: Getting reeeeaaal narrow up here.
[08.02.2026 18:24:36] TFP)-Kelly.With: Heard about a star system that was like one long tunnel in legends an' myths.
[08.02.2026 18:24:36] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: Oh watch your head on that one
[08.02.2026 18:24:40] TFP)-Valentina.Perez: It's like we're inside a planetoid.
[08.02.2026 18:24:42] TFP)-Kelly.With: Never thought it was real.
[08.02.2026 18:24:50] TFP)-HFGB-Vindicator: West: This ain't a star system, With.
[08.02.2026 18:25:03] TFP)-Kelly.With: What do we got, then?
[08.02.2026 18:25:15] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: I'm used to seeing rocks come out of the clouds, but not of that size.
[08.02.2026 18:25:17] TFP)-HFGB-Vindicator: West: Some place.
[08.02.2026 18:25:24] TFP)-HFGB-Vindicator: West: Interstellar space.
[08.02.2026 18:25:42] TFP)-Alpha.7: All clear.
[08.02.2026 18:25:49] IN|G-INS-Ven'Gyr: Y: Jump successful. The Ven'Gyr has come home.
[08.02.2026 18:25:55] TFP)-HFGB-Vindicator: West: Home sweet home.
[08.02.2026 18:26:02] TFP)-Alpha.7: FC Hideyoshi, Megiddo would have relayed something to you about airgapped orders.
[08.02.2026 18:26:17] TFP)-Alpha.7: Hate to be a pain here, but,
[08.02.2026 18:26:25] TFP)-Alpha.7: *Vindt's lich jettisons a small capsule*
[08.02.2026 18:26:34] TFP)-Alpha.7: Message in a bottle. For your and Ward's eyes only.
[08.02.2026 18:26:44] IN|G-INS-Ven'Gyr: Y: A message in a bottle?
[08.02.2026 18:26:55] TFP)-HFGB-Vindicator: West: Love that tune.
[08.02.2026 18:27:03] TFP)-Locksmith.: "Are you serious right now?"
[08.02.2026 18:27:34] TFP)-Alpha.7: Look, this is what Megiddo ordered. Don't shoot the fucking messenger.
[08.02.2026 18:27:39] TFP)-Alpha.7: It's a little extreme.
[08.02.2026 18:27:48] TFP)-Kelly.With: Uhh.
[08.02.2026 18:27:51] IN|G-INS-Ven'Gyr: Y: Alright. We are setting a new course.
[08.02.2026 18:27:54] TFP)-Valentina.Perez: Sure, boss.
[08.02.2026 18:28:01] TFP)-Locksmith.: "Whatever. Let's get this over with."
[08.02.2026 18:28:05] TFP)-Kelly.With: Well, I wish the goddamn Stratarch would keep West and I in the loop too.
[08.02.2026 18:30:14] TFP)-Locksmith.: "This Dreadnought does look impressive. Might be worth it just for the sake of the effect it might make on people."
[08.02.2026 18:30:28] TFP)-Kelly.With: Four big, menacin' teeth.
[08.02.2026 18:30:34] TFP)-HFGB-Vindicator: West: [She gives a light salute to the wreckage]
[08.02.2026 18:30:40] TFP)-Kelly.With: [With does the same.]
[08.02.2026 18:30:43] TFP)-Locksmith.: "Bet some people would just run away from the sight of it."
[08.02.2026 18:31:07] TFP)-HFGB-Vindicator: West: Used to scare the shit out of people when she showed up.
[08.02.2026 18:31:18] TFP)-Locksmith.: "We'll need that kind of scare."
[08.02.2026 18:31:29] TFP)-Kelly.With: Every asset's got its place.
[08.02.2026 18:31:48] IN|G-INS-Ven'Gyr: Y: All escorts, proceed to jump.
[08.02.2026 18:31:56] TFP)-Kelly.With: ...copy that.
[08.02.2026 18:32:16] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: Everything seems clear.
[08.02.2026 18:32:34] TFP)-Kelly.With: What's the next step in Megiddo's master plan?
[08.02.2026 18:32:44] TFP)-Valentina.Perez: Crashing this ship down! With no surv--
[08.02.2026 18:32:52] TFP)-Alpha.7: Ask Hideyoshi or Ward. I didn't read the message.
[08.02.2026 18:32:53] TFP)-Kelly.With: Well I'd FUCKIN' hope not.
[08.02.2026 18:32:54] IN|G-INS-Ven'Gyr: Y: Proceeding out of the field.
[08.02.2026 18:32:56] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: I never did like Kansas. Always so barren. Reminds me of how screwed I'd be if I ejected out here.
[08.02.2026 18:33:12] TFP)-Kelly.With: Well, Lieutenant.
[08.02.2026 18:33:15] TFP)-Locksmith.: "I like how calm it is. Makes for a good change in pace."
[08.02.2026 18:33:19] TFP)-Kelly.With: You'd be far from the first Legionnaire to die that way.
[08.02.2026 18:33:26] TFP)-HFGB-Vindicator: West: It'd be a lot less empty if it weren't 'liberated'.
[08.02.2026 18:33:31] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: I have no intention of being the last.
[08.02.2026 18:33:34] TFP)-Kelly.With: This system is our second greatest graveyard after Vespucci.
[08.02.2026 18:33:51] IN|G-INS-Ven'Gyr: Y: Proceeding to the final waypoint.
[08.02.2026 18:33:55] TFP)-HFGB-Vindicator: West: We'll rectify that, with enemy corpses.
[08.02.2026 18:34:24] TFP)-Kelly.With: Aye.
[08.02.2026 18:34:31] TFP)-Kelly.With: Vengeance for the fallen, freedom for the people.
[08.02.2026 18:35:00] TFP)-Kelly.With: Pay your respects, then steel your resolve.
[08.02.2026 18:35:00] TFP)-Alpha.7: Where the fuck are we taking her..?
[08.02.2026 18:35:11] TFP)-Kelly.With: Damned if I know.
[08.02.2026 18:35:24] TFP)-Kelly.With: [Kelly sighs, muttering something to herself.]
[08.02.2026 18:35:38] TFP)-HFGB-Vindicator: West: We turning her into the next America Freeport or somethin'?
[08.02.2026 18:35:43] TFP)-Epsilon-12: T: I am kinda happy, the ship is not acting up.
[08.02.2026 18:35:56] TFP)-Kelly.With: Ven'Gyr always accomplishes her mission.
[08.02.2026 18:36:01] TFP)-Alpha.7: The Lipari did work her over pretty well it seems.
[08.02.2026 18:36:13] TFP)-HFGB-Vindicator: West: Gotta hand it to 'em.
[08.02.2026 18:36:13] TFP)-Kelly.With: That they did. Gotta give them my thanks for it.
[08.02.2026 18:36:32] IN|G-INS-Ven'Gyr: Y: Waypoint reached. Calculating orbit. Shutting down systems for minimal signature.
