Subj: 3rd day of patrols.

Well, this day started pretty quietly, then all hell broke loose. There was a Order fleet massing in the **Deleted by LSF** system, myself and 2 other officers were asked to provide assistance to the Liberty Navy and the LSF. I am not allowed to say what we saw, but we performed admirably in helping to remove this menace to the Libertonian people.

Spent most of the rest of the shift doing smuggling interdiction, when the whole system went to red alert. Mon*star was spotted in the Texas system and was proceeding towards the New York system. Sergeant Smith took the California gate, I took the Colorado gate. We sent out warnings to the civilians and traders to dock or vacate the system, whilst the Navy went searching for Mon*star.

Mon*star taunted us in the system comms, but no one was able to spot him. It was eventually found that he had transited to the Colorado system. I never saw him, so he must have used a jump hole. I jumped into the Colorado system and broadcast a warning to the traders and civilians in that system to beware. I t must have had a effect, because the next thing we new, Mon*star had moved on to Kusari space.

After things cooled down from Mon*Star, the Chief came out to lead us troops. Quite an experience! The lull didn't last long though, Sergeant Smith and I were patrolling the Colorado system and answered a call back In the NY system. A USV vessel was under attack by West Point. When we arrived there were 2 Liberty Rogues attacking. We jumped into the fight; unfortunately, Sarge Smith was hit and went down. I continued the fight long enough to give the trader time to flee, then I disengaged. For some reason I was unable to damage the 2 ships... Hmmmmm

The Chief took some of the SWAT team to deal with the Rogues, I took time to restock my fighter. By this time Sarge Smith had his backup fighter ready, so we did a couple of more loops of Colorado, when Captain Claire took us to do smuggling interdiction in Texas. We sighted nothing and proceed to the California system where the Navy had 2 Outcasts cornered. We helped escort them to Cali Minor, where Wolves Defiance made a run for it and escaped. I seemed to recall from my trader days that there is a Jump Hole to ..Hmm... I think Texas where he was headed.....

We accompanied the Captain to the Magellan gate, where Oliver Hinds was shown the door and told not to come back. On the way back to Cali Minor, the Captain spotted a junker and ordered them to halt for inspection. She then spotted a Outcast (?) gunboat by the designation of Deltaco. He refused to cooperate, and was engaged. The Captain, Sarge Smith, and Officer Truman and myself all gave pursuit and damaging fire. Unfortunately for me, one of his mines erased my shield, followed by a second one that pierced the hull of my Liberator. I ejected, and Sarge Smith picked up my life pod. The bad thing about it was that Sarge Smith got hit too, so we both ended up floating back to Manhattan.

I am getting better at this ejecting thing, no injuries this time. My Liberator has been recovered and deemed salvageable. I should make my shift tomorrow no problem. I can't wait to get nuclear mines........

And the best part of the day was... I got accepted to the SWAT team! We need some more bomber pilots, so I am going to give it a try.... not bad for a double shift day.

Adendum: Many of the pirates and unlawfuls we met today expressed surprise that we were out in force today, and were competent. Gone is the old LPI, Long live the leaner, meaner, vigilant LPI!
