Good evening.

It's been a while since I've asked for any fancy equipment, You know I'm usually not the type for these kind of things.

Since I've been promoted back to Lieutenant Commander recently, I have also taken into consideration that I'm now in the position to command a Gunboat-class military vessel.

I'm always up for a surprise, so I'm not merely requesting a Libertonian gunboat, but a Bretonian, Churchill-Class one. There's several reasons for that, of course. One being the fact that I've served as a combat-advisor on one of these monsters during Gallia's Leeds-Offensive, and I can positively say that I know their quirks in and out.

Another point is the fact that they pack more of a punch, as well as having a thicker hull than our own vessels, making them more suitable to my personal combat-type.

Anyway, here's the form:

Advanced Warship Field Placement Request
Pilot Name: Catherine Liza Raven
Rank: Lieutenant Commander
Warship Requested: Bretonian Churchill-Class Gunboat
Vessel Identifier: Not yet decided
Reason: As stated above

That should be all of it, signing off.

Lieutenant Commander,

Your request has been reviewed and APPROVED.

Although - strictly speaking - your rank was insufficient to file this request successfully, your personal experience on board a similar ship, coupled with your extensive service record, has led me to believe that you would make good use of one of the Navy's Churchill-class gunboats. Given the amount of Defiant-class gunships currently in service, I am confident that the more forceful nature of a Churchill under your command will compliment our existing fleet assets well.

Serial number CH-GB-004 has been informed of her change in captaincy and is awaiting clearance for shakedown and preliminary flight exercises. Further details regarding this transfer will arrive at your personal terminal within the hour.

Marshall out.

COMM ID: Lieutenant Commander John Graham
TARGET ID: Liberty Naval Primary Fleet Reporting Center
SUBJECT: Advanced Technology Request
ENCRYPTION: HIGH
PRIORITY: HIGH

To the Office of the Quartermaster:

I am forwarding a request for advanced weaponry as well as a leased strikecraft from the Navy depot.

Licensed/Experimental Weapon Request
Pilot Name: John Graham
Rank: Lieutenant Commander
Weapons Requested: 4x AHRIMAN
Reason: I have personally witnessed these weapons in the hands of mercenary freelancers and noticed their particular strengths, namely increased damage and precision over the normal energy cannons. Usage of these weapons would increase the effectiveness of my bombing runs by a calculated 37.5% or so.

Licensed Strikecraft Request
Pilot Name: John Graham
Rank: Lieutenant Commander
Strikecraft Requested: B-3000 "Challenger" Bretonia Bomber
Reason: Having served on the Magellan front along with Bretonian servicemen and women, I have noticed the particular strengths of the Bretonian service bomber over the Upholder. While the Upholder maintains a faster speed and agility, the Challenger is large enough and powerful enough to maintain two bomber torpedoes as well as a freighter-class shield, and still have room for normal weaponry and a cruise disruptor. My intention is to mount the AHRIMAN-class weapons on the already impressive Challenger to further supplement its destructive capability, which would prove useful against the recent bouts of capital class vessels we've been experiencing.

This concludes my quartermaster's request. Please contact me as to your decision.

Lieutenant Commander Graham,

Your request has been reviewed and APPROVED.

Having flown a Challenger myself on numerous occasions, I'm well aware of its impressive capabilities as a heavy bomber. The increased firepower over the Upholder is already impressive, and coupled with the destructive power of four AHRIMAN plasma cannons, I am inclined to agree with your assessment of its combat capabilities.

Permission to requisition one of the leased Challenger-class bombers is granted, as well as permission to outfit it with a loadout of your choosing.

Marshall out.

COMM ID: Lieutenant Commander John Graham
TARGET ID: Office of the Quartermaster
SUBJECT: Requisition
ENCRYPTION: HIGH
PRIORITY: HIGH

To the Admiralty and the Quartermaster:

I am putting forth the request for the requisition of a Defiant-class gunboat due to a bolstering of sub-capital vessels fighting the Liberty forces and my interest in commanding a small crew as preparation for the commanding of larger vessels.

Advanced Warship Field Placement Request
Pilot Name: John Graham
Rank:Lieutenant Commander
Warship Requested: Defiant-class Gunboat
Vessel Identifier: [LN]-LNS-Coral.Sea
Reason: With increased threats on multiple fronts, mainly Rogue sub-capital vessels and Rheinland raids, it becomes increasingly evident that more Gunboat-class vessels are required. Following that, I have been additionally successful in simulators over the last few days on both the "Defiant" class gunboat and the "Condor" class civilian gunboat. Thus, I am putting in a request for a Defiant-class gunboat to better defend the citizens of Liberty.

Lieutenant Commander Graham,

Your request has been reviewed and APPROVED.

I've seen your simulator scores, and while they're not the highest in the Navy's records, they're good enough to convince me that you'd do well captaining a Defiant, coupled with the leadership and motivation skills you've shown to date in your Naval career.

Serial number DE-GB-946 has been informed of her change in captaincy and is awaiting clearance for shakedown and preliminary flight exercises. Further details regarding this transfer will arrive at your personal terminal within the hour.

I trust you'll not disappoint, Lieutenant Commander.

Marshall out.

Sir Quartermaster sir!

I'd like to request access to a Challanger class Bomber strike ship. The fly techniques fit how I fly ships a lot more than the upholder does, and if I have to be honest it reminds me of home a bit.

Licensed Strikecraft Request
Pilot Name: Malachy Marshall
Rank: Lieutenant
Strikecraft Requested: Challanger
Reason: Flight style and controls match piloting style, increasing ability to perform in combat.

Lieutenant Malachy Marshall out.

Lieutenant Marhsall,

The Challenger-class bretonian bomber is indeed a nice piece of work. Provided with a big amount of firepower, it can provide the support needed on the front. Your request has been APPROVED.

I reckon that Captain Marshall had flown the ship numerous times before. Perhaps the captain can show you a few tricks.

Thank you.

COMM ID: Lieutenant Commander Hélène Dupuis
TARGET ID: Office of the Quartermaster
SUBJECT: Advanced Warship Fied Placement Request
ENCRYPTION: High
PRIORITY: High

To the Office of the Quartermaster,

I am hereby requesting my own command by forwarding you the following form:

Advanced Warship Field Placement Request
Pilot Name: Hélène Dupuis
Rank: Lt. Cmdr.
Warship Requested: "Defiant"-class Liberty Gunboat
Vessel Identifier: [LN]-LNS-Quebec
Reason:

With the war with Gallia raging and the recent reorganisation of the Liberty Rogues among many other threats to our Home, I firmly believe that the old adage of "Speak softly, but carry a big stick" said by one of Sol's American presidents is more valid than ever for our nation. I have shown promising commanding aptitudes as part of my training on West point, training on one of the older models that served during the worst of the Rheinlander war, and I believe that under proper supervision, this vessel could quickly become a vital asset for the defense of our Home.

Signing out,
Lieutenant Commander Hélène Dupuis.
