Well, had an odd day today. Started off i woke myself up to discover i'm floating around Magellan, hadn't a clue where i was. Must have passed out somewhere again or someones moving me in my sleep. Met up with Jack Daniels and his friend with a gunship. Hell if i know how to say his name. I can barely stand let alone pronuce big words. We started the day with some distrupting. Wasn't much to party with so we had a look around Manhatten. Nothing still, then on our way back to Magellan we bumped into a smuggler and had a friendly chat. That was one cool smuggler. Then i began to head to Alcatraz as my engine was beging to act up. Jack called me on the comms after he had a run in with a Navy and we returned to watch the show. A few more navy boys showed up so i jumped in with a damaged enginne but Jack's Bayonet got blown apart so i got his pod and went back to attack them but the engine wouldn't work so i did the only thing left and headed back to alcatraz to the bar.

--> Greets, LaBrie. So.. Well, i was just waltzing with Mason in NY, when he was called to an 'emergency' due to bowel maneuvers, and i was left alone to play with some traders in the lanes.
Managed to scrounge up 250.000 creds that will go directly to my 'Diamonds for Lina' foundation, but in the meantime, got shot at by a too willing Navy Gunboat with the transponder WolfCrest. After Mason got back and we talked with a local [427th] navy boy that was quite agreeable, the blood hounds that now were surrounding us (Mason's new pet, Solari, showed up) and we started shooting ships up. It was fun hour.
Thanks LaBrie, for calling me back.
Tally for the day:
One Navy Gunboat went poof (WolfCrest).
One Navy Gunboat ran and dock when beaten up, with a shovel and a toothpick (Recovery_Three).
One Guardian bought a mine with the teeth. Now currently sucking space dust in a awesome fashion (LNS-Scout).
Here's the gun cams... Have fun and share it with your friends on NeuralFaceBook. It's bound to crack up some laughs.

Good day Raiders, listen up.
First, relaying a report of more successful runs into the Omicrons. You've been doing a great job, people. Thousands of fresh slaves are being sent to the Cardamine fields, and more and more cardamine is entering Liberty. Good work.
Other announcements:
Many presents for the Hellfire are being towed in. Gunship wrecks, Battleship wrecks, everything. Every ship that explodes is another small victory for us.
Perhaps the greatest announcement: Jada Zachary is ascending to Warlord, or in her case, Warlady, to take her place at my left, next, with Rudess still at my right.
In this case.. we're short two Taskmasters. With the.. disappearance of Dwight Novak, I've made a decision. Harold Kane will ascend to the rank of Taskmaster. He's shown every quality that I'm looking for in a Raider.
Don't like my decision? Feel that you deserve it more? Come talk to me, and I'll beat the hell out of you.

Thanks a bunch, boss. Can't wait to be doing taskmaster-y things out there. Will keep you updated on my doings.
Also, congrats to Jada for the promotion. "Warlady" indeed.
Oh, boss, by the way... Can you ask LaBrie if he has any spare safety cupboards? I could use one in the event that Jada goes ape-s*** on me for calling her by her first name. She'll probably want to kill me. Thanks!

Jimmeh 'ere, reportin' in fer the first time in wot seems like ferever.. This afternoon I brought out da Be Good At It and brought Tanisha 'n Barry out fer a little vagrant err.. raiding?
Couple of transports flew by, couple payed, couple didn't. Eventually one of 'em ratted us out 'n sure enuff, out comes one o' dem cattlebruiser things.. the Fearless, infact.
One thing led tew another 'n it started shootin' me battlebarge. Eventually two rather skilled merc pilots goin' by the names of Jodry Mueller 'n Kazy Dagron? At least ah theenk dat was their names, came along 'n offered their services tew us.
Naturally we agreed 'n dey did a damn fine job taking out the Fearless, but not before a second cattlebruiser came along and started pounding meh ship. At dis point however da Hellfire Legion Storta Abbadon arrived 'n unloaded on the second cattlebrusier. It didn't last long, 'n afterwards we all cheered and blah blah et-frakkin-cetera.
On to da point, dem mercs be wonderin' if we could supply 'em with one of da our Infearnos, as long as the ol' One o' First dun be havin' any problems with it. If yew ask me, ah theenk yew should go ahead 'n let 'em have one. Dey've shown the utmost skill 'n whatnot in the art of pew frakkity pew, and givin' up some heavier firepower ain't gonna hurt us none.

Ever had one of those days where you want to kill everything that offends you? And you do? Well. That wasn't my day. That Kat thing. The one that called the Mandalorian on us and made us lose a Falchion. We saw her. I ordered an exterminatus.
There was this Order ship boasting and gloating in the system-wide comms channel. Is that crap just upsetting or what? In our hunt for the Kat, we had to put it out of its misery when it decided to take hostile action against us. Badda-bang. Badda-boom.
This Rehinland cruiser called the A.A.A.I assisted us as well. She has proven to be willing. She suggested that she help. I like that in a person. I suggest we seek her help out in the future.
We'll still hunt for Kat. Nothing does us damage and lives to tell about it.

Shoot anything that goes mew? Can do. I want their ears for ornaments.
Yeah, so anyway. Barry called me, screaming something about getting shot at, so I prattled on over to Texas, where he was about to get shot at by a small fleet. I get there, he gets shot at, what a surprise eh? Anyways, some lovely chaps by the name of Preying.Osprey and Nietzche's.Ghost came and helped out. Barry exploded in the first wave, then a second wave of Lawful types came, and we blew them up too. I must say I love fighting the Liberty Marine Corp [LMC]. They explode faster than Gold Squad. I guess that's what you get for being Liberty's B-team, huh. Anyways:
And I guess I missed the captures, but I killed a Guardian named Alexis in a duel, and we also took out a gunboat by the name of "LNS-Nebuchadnezzar".
One more thing. Remember our directive, we want to stay away from New York as much as possible. Try to hit California, or ruin some blockade-runner's days in Texas or something. Just don't sit at West Point and try to get people to fight you, that's as idiotic as it is.. stupid?
Oh, and Barry. If you're about to die.. please just explode, eject, and wait for some idiot Rookie Rogue to pick you up. It's much easier than scooping you off of Manhattan's surface.
That is all, lackeys!

The Penrose Triangle is almost back to full operational capacity. I had to strip many of her systems for a fun run across the trachea of a Hunter that thought he could bring me in, but it's been dealt with. I just need to locate the nuclear mine dropper that some upstart Hacker seems to have stolen.
Operations will begin when they begin.
Taskmaster Escher out.

Woke up this morning, like most mornings, with a hangover. I sat around Alcatraz, tryin to remember what happened the night before. No luck. I decided to hit the lanes for a bit, try and scour up some cash, but every trader that came through was IMG, so no luck. Then a Bunter showed up, and I offered him a deal, he chases me, and if he catches me, he can collect my bounty, if not, then I get to go free. turns out that they don't like to play. So we started the same old pew pew pew, few allies showed up and got blown up, few enemies showed up. And as usual, I got blown up. Had to tow my Sword back to Alcatraz....again.
After that I hopped into my Sabre and headed of to Texas, but nothin goin on there, so I decided to get a drink and go back to bed. Then I woke up to a message from Xav, tellin me to get my butt in gear to go raidin. So I got up, and to California, where I talked with Natasha while waitin on Xav. After he finally got there, we ran into a Hacker who we invited to join us. We showed up at the lane, to see a Gunboat by the name of Spear, that moron who has cost me millions of credits in repairs. So we fought, he ran to Riverside, and a Cruiser patrol showed up. After a while of fighting, one of them managed to get in a lucky shot, and I had to tow my Sabre back to Alcatraz, where Xav picked me up, and we headed back to The Metro. Not wanting to be stuck on solid ground, I decided to pick up my Waran. So I sat in Magellan for awhile, but nothing happened there, just a Navy lapdog showin up and causin trouble for us and our allies. Thats all for today, jus the same old same old.
