Subject: Scylla Destroyed and IND incrimination
----------------------------------------------------
Good news. Today Grand Admiral Locklear ordered me to the Abbadon, and with good reason.
A Solaris Scylla was shooting at him and Evangeline McDowell. Long story short, it went down quickly. However, this is the interesting bit.
On the way back, I found a ship named [IND]Slippery.Sleigh, a Titanic Tanker under the control of the
IND. It was stocked full of Cardamine.
He then tried to dispose of the Cardamine.
Although it was much too late, for a guncam was already acquired. They have really slipped
up this time, and I sure hope you guys can knock it out of the park with this.
This is Star Captain Dagon.
It's good to be able to spread my wings a bit in Liberty again,
after that whole 'debriefing' after i returned from Gallia...
*Coughs*
Well. Got two good things to report from this 'pleasure' sortie.
One, got evidence of LPI's finest being in their natural state, corruption.
Two, wacked three Navy boyos in my Beta-3 bomber.
Got out of Ouray, and was heading back to America to replace my turret, since it was malfunctioning, and met
a pirate that was camping the lanes. Transponder Name: Anna.Prentice, Pirate ID
After an one on one 'talk' , she ran without regens, and guess what..
She ran into an LPI bubba.. Which replenished her supply. Transponder Name: LPI|Winston.Smith, LPI ID
After fighting the two of them, the Maelstrom showed up and lit the LPI on fire.
As i resumed my travels, i contacted the pirate by a private comm link and recorded the whole talk.
Then, i returned to Ouray to rest for the night, when a call for a bomber sortie was issued.
I quickly grabbed the Beta-3 bomber, and head out with Beta-2 and Beta-5.
The scramble intel targets consisted of an 36th Liberty Dreadnought Vessel, a Sarissa Outcast Capital Vessel and an unknown Hacker Spyglass Class Vessel, squaring it out near Planet Manhattan.
As we got there, the Outcast Capital and the Spyglass were already taking a beating from the combined lawful forces.
Afterwards, the Outcast got blown to pieces, the Spyglass Vessel exited the scene while me and the remaining Betas attacked the Liberty Dreadnought. Transponder Name: LNS-Feathered.Pond|36th
Transponder Name: Venture (Spyglass)
Transponder Name: MNS-Oblivion
With that, i ordered the withdrawal of our forces since we were outnumbered, and with the Navy Fighter force present there, our bombers would be short work.
Beta-2 was under attack at the time, so i drew fire to give him a chance for escape, which was brilliantly executed, except for the part that i was alone and pinned there.
So, i did what a 'naire could do. I swallowed my fear whole, and pushed that Broadsword to it's limits. Transponder Name: [LN]-James.Flinte
Transponder Name: [LN]-Robert.West
Transponder Name: [LN]-Jack.Malrone
Three they were and three were put down.
Even Admiral Malrone.
As i scored the third kill of the night, i took the chance of the surprise and evaded the remaining units,
heading back to Ouray in that half-broken Broadsword.
Legionnaires Lost: 0
Liberty Navy Lost: 3
Outcast Navy Lost: 1 (Capital)
P.S.: I need a new bomber. Broadswords are crap, Warans are bricks, Rocs ain't gonna cut it and i ain't gonna fly a Mafic for kicks and giggles.
[font=Fixedsys]Just a fe[color=#FF9900]w announcements. Major Wanx is hereby promoted to Fleet Captain. He has served the Legion with the utmost diligence and integrity, and will certainly be an invaluable asset within Fleet Command.
Star Captain Dagon, for an exemplary performance in the field - having taken down three enemy fighters in a solo op with a bomber - is to be awarded the Purifying Flame. Credits will be transferred within the hour.
In addition, Star Captain, I personally recommend a Falcata. Think Broadsword but safer. It's a fine ship.
Locklear here again. Today's engagement today at Houston was a massive tactical and strategic victory for the Legion.
Despitebeing heavily outnumbered and outgunned, myself and Beta wing with Star Colonel Hunter and Fleet Captain Wanx flying escort systematically targeted and burned no less than four secondary fleet warships and several gunboats.
Enemy Casualties:
[NG]-LNS-Columbia(Liberty Dreadnought, [color=#FFFFCC]destroyed) LNS-Mega.Badger(Liberty Dreadnought, sent to drydock) LNS-Onrush(LABC, destroyed) LNS-Hello1(LABC, destroyed) [NG]-LNS-Assault7(Gunboat, destroyed) LNS-Providence(Gunboat, destroyed) NICOPOLUS(Gunboat, destroyed)
Legion Casualties:
[HF]-Beta.4(Waran, forced to eject) [HF]-Beta.5(Waran, forced to eject) [HF]-Baozi(Bayonet, crippled by shockwave)
Daniel'sand Wanx's pods have been recovered, though we'll be needing some replacement betas. Overall, we did a hell of a lot more damage to them than they did to us. Excellent job everyone, and keep up the good work.

[color=#000000]
[color=#CC0000]Thanks to the efforts of Star Captain Adrian Morton we were able to rescue former Star Colonel Meallan Dagon in the Colorado system. The interrogation of Dagon gave us the following results:
[color=#000000]
[color=#CC0000]Dagon left us a couple of months ago in order to save his sister, who has the knowledge of the Vespucci system. He found out that she got captured by the Gallic Royal Navy and he tried to save her alone before they find out about us.
[color=#000000]
[color=#CC0000]He failed, but he was able to collect a lot of information about the Gallic systems, which will be very helpful for our next steps. The time is running, we cannot allow the Gallics to get the information, Dagon's sister has.
[color=#000000]
[color=#CC0000]High Command has decided to send the SAD and AR wings to rescue her. The Libertine will serve as base during this mission. The information Dagon gave us will serve us well.
[color=#000000]
[color=#CC0000]The start of this mission is scheduled for 1800 SMT. All Star Captains and AR pilots are to dock their ships with the Libertine and to prepare themselves for a mission far away from home in enemy territory.
[color=#000000]
[color=#CC0000]An exact mission briefing will be given aboard the Libertine.
I was out on a solo operation when I came across a few Navy ships slugging away at some Rouge.
He was shot down a few seconds after I arrived.
After this the Navy pursued me, a freelancer started shooting at them and we all went weapons hot.
Began with a Gunboat and two fighters on the freelancer.
One was a USI fighter. He left when I joined in.
We put the GB under pressure and managed to crack it after a few minutes of firing.
After that, a Bottlenose was next to pop. But the guncams failed...
Next was an LPI Guardian and after that an Upholder.
It is with great sadness that I hereby step down from the position of Grand Admiral of the Hellfire Legion. My dedication to the Legion remains, and I have no desire to leave our ranks, but the strains of command have taken their toll upon me. It is for this reason alone that I feel unable to fulfil my duties as Grand Admiral.
I am not a man for great speeches, so I shall keep this short. I am proud of what I have achieved in the years I have served the Legion. I am proud to have served with you all. I look forward to continuing to do so.
Wainwright out.
All the old knives, that have rusted in my back, I shall drive deep into yours.
Went scouting in the Omegas. Huge commotion. Rheinlanders everywhere. Apparently there's been some sort of declaration of war between Bretonia and Rheinland. Rheinland won the first battle. Omega 3 seems to be almost completely under Rheinland control at this point.
It's worth pointing out that there was a cruiser of Libertonian design fighting on the Bretonian's side. Funny thing is, the cruiser (LNS-Equinox) was flashing Zoner identification signals, and upon closer scans, was equipped with Zoner-designed weapons.
All guncam footage is attached, but there's quite a bit. Hope you have time to sort through it all.
