Subject: Promotion

---

Do not thank me Quin. In the First Armada the Admiralty obviously does not handle lowest level promotions alone - we are busy with high level decisions and rarely will have time to singlehandedly evaluate Crewmen.

The decision to promote you came from a consensus of your immediate superiors, which in this case happened to include myself. You are an Officer of the First Armada, soon it will also be your responsibility to have a say in which Crewmen get promoted.

In your case, your combat skills in taking down a known Outcast, ability to log a report and catching two dangerous smugglers along with your hunger for duty were the deciding factors behind the unanimous decision I believe. Keep going Ensign, I am sure you have a bright future with us.

Subject: Security Breach

The Insurgent fighter Jerry Anderson has breached security and entered the space around our Headquarters on Juneau!

A probable Liberty Navy veteran and skilled fighter, he has not only managed to get into Alaska but bested me in combat. He is highly dangerous and must be apprehended.

Subject: A minor fine issued to a freelancer that assisted us, unprofessional behavior spotted.

---

A freelancer, Milkbrick, that has previously Assisted the First Armada with a Colony Ship escort, was advised that his vessel requires a license and issued a symbolic fine, to which he complied and remained cooperative and friendly.

Then something strange occurred - a self-proclaimed Lieutenant Commander of the 46th Fleet, one the First Armada or yours truly have never encountered previously, 46th|Dean.Johnson, behaved extremely unprofessionally - perhaps something to investigate and bring up to the 46th' High Command should this bizarre behavior continue:

Unprofessional behavior of the 46th Fleet Officer

[29.06.2022 14:20:45] 46th|Dean.Johnson: 1st Gold?
[29.06.2022 14:20:51] 46th|Dean.Johnson: What is this some kind of a cosplay?
[29.06.2022 14:21:23] Milkbrick: A custom Stinger in hands of Navy, not a common sight.
[29.06.2022 14:21:45] Ego: That ship is more expensive than it is useful, but whatever.
[29.06.2022 14:21:48] 46th|Dean.Johnson: Surely this is a joke.
[29.06.2022 14:21:49] Milkbrick: I got one of those, previous gen, decent ships.
[29.06.2022 14:22:15] 46th|Dean.Johnson: Waiting for the YOU GOT PUNKED to pop off its cockpit.
[29.06.2022 14:22:16] Milkbrick: Well i would say a Valkyrie is more expensive to upkeep lad.
[29.06.2022 14:22:41] 1st|Gold-New.York: Milkbrick are you aware that you require a license for your vessel?
[29.06.2022 14:22:49] 1st|Gold-New.York: What is your name
[29.06.2022 14:22:49] Milkbrick: I wish i could get one of those.
[29.06.2022 14:22:57] Ego: You can.
[29.06.2022 14:23:09] 1st|Gold-New.York: I repeat, identify yourself
[29.06.2022 14:23:10] Milkbrick: I do not require a license for a frame.
[29.06.2022 14:23:20] 46th|Dean.Johnson: Oh the cosplayer is trying to hand out laws *LAUGHS*
[29.06.2022 14:23:27] Milkbrick: The ship itself uses civilian tech only, and a heavily modded engine.
[29.06.2022 14:23:36] 1st|Gold-New.York: This is the Liberty Navy First Armada
[29.06.2022 14:23:42] Ego: You can laugh at the "cosplayer", but he has a point.-- Armada?
[29.06.2022 14:23:51] Ego: [he chuckles]
[29.06.2022 14:24:07] Ego: The Corsairs call their military force "Armada".
[29.06.2022 14:24:12] 1st|Gold-New.York: Comedy attempts from Dean here aside
[29.06.2022 14:24:34] Milkbrick: Never heard a Navy fleet call itself armada, true,
[29.06.2022 14:24:36] 1st|Gold-New.York: This vessel foes fall under Liberty law 4.1
[29.06.2022 14:24:38] 46th|Dean.Johnson: [Laughs furiously] Please stop!! I'm about to cry laughing!
[29.06.2022 14:25:09] Milkbrick: Yeah, law specifies technology from hostile organizations.
[29.06.2022 14:25:10] 1st|Gold-New.York: So please explain how you have acquired said vessel
[29.06.2022 14:25:13] 46th|Dean.Johnson: What is he now Kusari cilian? Corsair? Police?
[29.06.2022 14:25:16] 1st|Gold-New.York: Correct, sich as Pirates
[29.06.2022 14:25:20] 1st|Gold-New.York: such as rather
[29.06.2022 14:25:25] Ego: The Bactrician is for all reasons still a ship with a certain kind of stigma to it.
[29.06.2022 14:25:31] Milkbrick: But this is only the frame, a replica, no black market tech involved.
[29.06.2022 14:25:49] 1st|Gold-New.York: That makes no difference in the view of the Law I am afraid
[29.06.2022 14:25:50] Milkbrick: Yea but it looks nice, it's a decent ship believe it or not.
[29.06.2022 14:25:55] 1st|Gold-New.York: Please explain how you have acquired it
[29.06.2022 14:26:06] Ego: Looks like a Bactrician. Is a Bactrician. Sorry dude, but he can question you for that.
[29.06.2022 14:26:26] 1st|Gold-New.York: Appears your fellow Freelancer is knowledgeable of the law
[29.06.2022 14:26:27] Milkbrick: Acquired in a bedding in Pennsylvania, then repaired.
[29.06.2022 14:26:38] 1st|Gold-New.York: In a bedding?
[29.06.2022 14:26:40] Ego: I did read the law before entering Liberty, yes.
[29.06.2022 14:26:41] 1st|Gold-New.York: What does that mean
[29.06.2022 14:26:42] Milkbrick: Aye.

[29.06.2022 14:28:52] 46th|Dean.Johnson: Is he really cosplaying the elite Gold wing from the primary fleet? In -that- ship?
[29.06.2022 14:28:57] 1st|Gold-New.York: I will simply go with a symbolic 100,000 fine and file away that I have informed you of the need for the licence
[29.06.2022 14:29:05] Milkbrick: How much does the law expect me to pay for flying around in a civilian ship with a custom frame?
[29.06.2022 14:29:07] 1st|Gold-New.York: And you can stay here
[29.06.2022 14:29:11] Ego: Law can be bent to help people at times.
[29.06.2022 14:29:22] 1st|Gold-New.York: Of course, this is as far as I can bend iot

[29.06.2022 14:30:04] Milkbrick: Specially when i've assisted Navy officers in the past already.

[29.06.2022 14:30:40] 1st|Gold-New.York: More officers might question you - I have no reason to doubt your story really, but if the LPI sees you then...Well fill in

[29.06.2022 14:33:26] 46th|Dean.Johnson: The Milkbrick has helped Liberty recently, if you weren't a cosplayer you'd know that.

[29.06.2022 14:34:17] Milkbrick: I paid nothing for the frame itself, i got it on a blackjack game at Bethlehem.
[29.06.2022 14:34:18] 1st|Gold-New.York: have we met before?
[29.06.2022 14:34:32] 1st|Gold-New.York: Can't say I have had the pleasure
[29.06.2022 14:34:37] Ego: Must've been a huge fucking bet.
[29.06.2022 14:34:43] 1st|Gold-New.York: Blackjack?
[29.06.2022 14:34:45] Milkbrick: Then removed all the electronic junk and busted engine, got it running with standard CTE hardware and a modded Ageira engine.
[29.06.2022 14:34:48] 1st|Gold-New.York: *scratches head*
[29.06.2022 14:34:52] 46th|Dean.Johnson: You'll adress me as Lieutenant Commander of the 46th.

[29.06.2022 14:35:16] Milkbrick: Huge bet? Not really, the vessel isn't that expensive to be honest.
[29.06.2022 14:35:18] 1st|Gold-New.York: You seem to act like you know me

[29.06.2022 14:35:45] Milkbrick: I do wonder why the fourty-six is so hostile towards a fellow Navy pilot.
[29.06.2022 14:35:50] 1st|Gold-New.York: Well anyways, pleasure to meat you Lt.Cmdr!

[29.06.2022 14:36:31] Milkbrick: Well the transponder and the fact he enforces aribtrary and stupid laws i disagree with, from Liberty.
[29.06.2022 14:36:35] 1st|Gold-New.York: I cannot say the First Armada ever had a contact with you either
[29.06.2022 14:36:42] 1st|Gold-New.York: Lt Commander!
[29.06.2022 14:36:50] 1st|Gold-New.York: Anyways Milkbrick
[29.06.2022 14:36:54] 46th|Dean.Johnson: Maybe it had contact with Corsairs [Laughs]
[29.06.2022 14:36:58] 1st|Gold-New.York: I do not gamble but if I understand Blackjack
[29.06.2022 14:37:06] 1st|Gold-New.York: How does one *win* a vessel
[29.06.2022 14:37:08] Milkbrick: If you really think this Stinger is not from the Navy, isn't there some laws about impersonating officers around?
[29.06.2022 14:37:25] 1st|Gold-New.York: Doesn't one play blackjack against the "house" so to speak
[29.06.2022 14:37:26] Milkbrick: It was pure luck. Blackjack works like that.
[29.06.2022 14:37:40] 1st|Gold-New.York: Why would the dealer offer a rustbucket like this *laughs*
[29.06.2022 14:37:42] Milkbrick: Yeah, i did bet one of my vessels as well.
[29.06.2022 14:37:45] 46th|Dean.Johnson: Alright I've had my fair share of laughs, going on land.

Subject: Ontario situation

I don't want to be the one saying it - but it feels to be true. We have over-extended ourselves. Omicron NU, push on the Insurgency backwaters along with the usual threats - it was hard to hold them all, something had to give. And that something...was Ontario. We have received a transmission from our long-range space-capable vessel 1st|Huntsman.

Toronto Station
It seems abandoned. The Xenos that were questioned at the scene seem to believe all of the 1200 people have left peacefully on their own accord. Given that the station shows no signs of damage or fighting their story seems plausible

It would appear that the system has been overrun by the terrorists, we have lost contact with our ship somewhere in Colorado, right after it sent the collected data.

There is little we can do right now...Vespucci is our priority, we have committed, we have our orders, but there will come time when we will have to care about Ontario again, or it will be yet another Vespucci situation, just with slightly different flavour.

Logs from Xeno encounter

[29.06.2022 19:50:15] 1st|Huntsman: A Xeno!
[29.06.2022 19:50:18] 1st|Huntsman: What have you done here
[29.06.2022 19:50:32] OK, jettisoned 2 item(s)
[29.06.2022 19:50:33] XA-Cobra: I don't know, what makes you think I did it?
[29.06.2022 19:50:37] A $90.000 credit bounty has been added to your reward pool.
[29.06.2022 19:50:59] 1st|Huntsman: I see the refinery and base abandoned, and I see you around here - are you saying it's not your work? And the Tradelanes?
[29.06.2022 19:51:15] A $90.000 credit bounty has been added to your reward pool.
[29.06.2022 19:51:19] XA-Cobra: Can Liberty not make things worse of its own accord? That's kind of half the reason why we exist.
[29.06.2022 19:51:37] 1st|Huntsman: This system was prosperous, had jobs
[29.06.2022 19:51:43] XA-Ridgenose: Oh, I've walked into another of your fun debates.
[29.06.2022 19:51:46] XA-Cobra: That died down with Alberta.
[29.06.2022 19:52:07] 1st|Huntsman: The jobs on Huron...these are lost...
[29.06.2022 19:52:21] XA-Cobra: The Huron extraction operation was automated.
[29.06.2022 19:52:30] XA-Cobra: The only people with jobs here were a few dozen paid to keep the machines working.
[29.06.2022 19:52:37] XA-Cobra: They won't miss this place, job security and all its perks make sure of that.
[29.06.2022 19:52:43] XA-Cobra: They're probably enjoying a vacation right now.
[29.06.2022 19:52:52] XA-Cobra: Which is more than I can say for you, lackey.
[29.06.2022 19:52:59] 1st|Huntsman: What have you done with all the people on Toronto
[29.06.2022 19:53:10] XA-Cobra: They left.
[29.06.2022 19:53:23] 1st|Huntsman: All 1200, just like that
[29.06.2022 19:53:27] XA-Cobra: If anything, I'm kind of remorseful that I didn't get to kill any of them for being opportunists.
[29.06.2022 19:53:55] 1st|Huntsman: You know we will just reclaim this system when we defeat the Insurgents
[29.06.2022 19:54:00] 1st|Huntsman: Enjoy your hubris while it lasts
[29.06.2022 19:54:06] XA-Cobra: Go for it.
[29.06.2022 19:54:12] XA-Cobra: I honestly need the salvage.
[29.06.2022 19:55:02] 1st|Huntsman: Thank you for the Intel, I will be relaying it now
[29.06.2022 19:55:41] XA-Ridgenose: Nah.
[29.06.2022 19:56:02] XA-Ridgenose: We'll send your corpse back.

What in the world is going on?

Corsair and related smugglers seem to have gotten some hardcore training or incentives. They rather risk death than reveal who their suppliers are. The latest one has been the TV-Tenerife|MA Artifacts smuggler.

[29.07.2022 10:32:32] TV-Tenerife|MA: Great.

[29.07.2022 10:47:30] 1st|Gold-Texas: Where did you intend on selling these
[29.07.2022 10:47:47] 1st|Gold-Texas: Talk now and the fine will be cut down to two million. Be vague, and it remains as seven!
[29.07.2022 10:47:51] TV-Tenerife|MA: I told you.

[29.07.2022 10:48:41] TV-Tenerife|MA: It's the same.
[29.07.2022 10:48:51] 1st|Gold-Texas: You have decided, that 7 Million is the fine
[29.07.2022 10:49:03] TV-Tenerife|MA: Yeah, definitely pass on that.
[29.07.2022 10:49:08] TV-Tenerife|MA: I'm already at a loss here.

[29.07.2022 10:49:24] TV-Tenerife|MA: I don't think you understand.
[29.07.2022 10:50:01] TV-Tenerife|MA: So, what are we going to do?
[29.07.2022 10:50:03] 1st|Gold-Texas: Well, I suppose there is only one solution. Are you ready to get your ship scrapped over this?
[29.07.2022 10:50:16] TV-Tenerife|MA: Damn you. Libertonians.
[29.07.2022 10:50:38] TV-Tenerife|MA: You and your guns.

[29.07.2022 10:53:24] Death: TV-Tenerife|MA was put out of action by 1st|Gold-Texas (Gun).

This could be a sign of bigger issues, luckily The First Armada is at the forefront of thwarting these illegal smugglers, we will get to the bottom of this. There must be a reason they are protecting their suppliers this vehemently, willing to fight for them!

Subject: Insurgents, regrouped.

---

A grave setback in the Insurgency campaign is upon us. What we were afraid of has happened. At least part of the Insurgent capital fleet has managed to evacuate Vespucci and has now merged with the Xenos.

The FRS-Raonoke carries the Xeno transponder openly, while sporting Insurgency weapons and a stolen Interdictor class Assault Battlecruiser in Ontario.

Admiral Dylan Brandt, the President, and the Congress were right - we had to move swiftly on the Insurgents, no matter the cost. Unfortunately despite the grave sacrifices, we have not forced fast enough through their defense positions, they seem to have integrated with the Xenos and regrouped in the now lost Ontario. We are currently dealing with the unified front of the Xenos AND the insurgency, in what our analysts have coined the Xenosurgency.


I am not sure what to make of this situation. We are committed to cleansing Vespucci and we will do just that with the help of the Ohio Battlegroup and my men, women, and officers beyond the binary. But the battle for Ontario has just begun.

The Xenosurgent Battlecruiser that was damaged by yours truly in Ontario and its equipment and weaponry:

So this Wayne Kerr had a full load of Artifacts!

There was something trustworthy about Wayne - he seemed like one of the good guys.
He actually found the artifacts with a note, and volunteered to deliver them to a Manhattan museum where children want to admire them badly!

What a good sport, good guys do still exist!
