Good afternoon Legion, settle down, it's good news for once...
Part 1:
Yesterday evening me and PFC Gensai went for a quick recon patrol in New York, during which time we intercepted various transmissions about a Rheinland invasion. Seeing our chance to strike at the navy forces, we proceeded to the Norfolk - Texas lane where a nomad of all things was killed by an LSF agent. We followed the agent who was fleeing to Texas, where he linked up with a second agent and a TLG fighter. They proceeded to engage us, and we turned fire, the TLG quickly being put out of action by PFC Gensai.
Under heavy fire and not being able to hard dodge in a bomber, Rethena was gunned down by the LSF agents, after which I managed to tractor in her pod.
Eventually I forced one of the agents to flee, and gunned down the second one shortly after. Vice Admiral Galen Anderson, who arrived in the midst of the battle and had been observing then decided he would finish me. Despite being low on nanobots and shield batteries, I couldn't pass up the chance to gun down a Vice Admiral and my efforts were in fact rewarded.
Part 2:
This morning I headed out from Rochester, going on a routine patrol within the badlands as I waited to link up with Lieutenant Lake. Outside the Pennsylvania Jumpgate I was quickly assaulted by a Liberty gunboat, the HDMS Absalon with little warning other than "stop" followed by a volley of lasers. Shortly after, a second gunboat entered New York through the gate and also began firing. Eventually, Lake arrived and we managed to whittle down one of the gunboats quite a bit. Several other vessels entered the fray on both sides, including an LSF Upholder bomber and a Mandalorian flying an Eagle, both of which I managed to dispatch rather quickly. Eventually a Hacker gunship, the Omaha, arrived on the scene and helped us finishup the gunboats.
Surprisingly, Major McKinsey of all people showed up commanding the Abbadon. While this did technically go against orders, were it not for him we may well have been destroyed. Apparently Fleet Admiral Wainwright, who had been ordered to bring the Abbadon into assist had been shot, and McKinsey thought fast in the face of danger, managing to turn the tide of the battle. It is to this end that Major McKinsey is hereby promoted to Fleet Captain. He has also been awarded the Golden Halo, in light of the incident. Congratulations.
In addition, I am honored to promote PFC Alan "Taneru" Markson to Lieutenant. He has been invaluable to the Legions efforts and it is a pleasure to welcome him as a full fledged member.
