Howdy, folks. Eventful day. Pissed off the BHG and the Navy, watched as Escher took out a BHG 22nd fighter...

Also, we've signed an agreement with the Independent Communist Miners Guild that declares that neither faction will attack the other throughout Sirius. This is mainly so we can gain an ally in the Corsair-populated Omega sectors, but will also help strengthen ties with other factions that we may encounter and that work with the ICMG. So don't shoot at ICMG miners, transports, or anything else with their tag, or I will personally use you as a sacrificial gift to make it up to them.

An empty, black expanse
A solitairy station
Solo once again

An early battle with the Navy and the Hunters' 22nd wing did not go well, though I took down one of the Hunters before the Penrose Triangle needed to break for repairs. I believe that my stalling gave the rest of the flight a chance to escape.

Except for Barry, anyway... though that was a foregone conclusion.

After repairing my ship, I departed on business. Some of you may have already figured out where I am.

Arranmore is open to us. I recommend you make use of it.

Escher out.

HAHAHHH, TODAY WAS FECKIN' GREAT!

2 idiot gunboats stopped me near the Cortez jump gate in California..So..I acted suspicious so the asked me why does my transponder have a VR- on it.. I told 'em it stands for Vigilous Retards! *laughs histericaly*

That we are a circus! *continues to laugh*

So I got away, but then another 2 gunboats that weren't that stupid came after me. I managed to get to the Rochester debris field, but they cought me. I didn't expect to win but...I did! *laughs*

Stupid Navy.

A Lane Hacker came along and helped me out a bit. Stupid Navy gunboats.

I was kinda in a mood...So I shouted some things in the System Channel..











Then a Guardian came up, so I blew him up.



Then a Carrier came..We almost blew it up..It sorta rammed Fort Bush and dissappeared?! What the?!



Anyways..That Radical..Something guy is a good fellow.

Evening Gentlemen, John Knox reporting in.
Yesterday, I had the... Pleasure of meeting James LaBrie, and Paddy Hughs.

Myself and LaBrie entered Pennsylvania, and hunted the helium cloud for traders and miners, snagging a Hegemon and its transport. Both paid 100,000 credits, and were set free without incident.

Leaving Pennsylvania, we jumped through the California Jumphole, encountering the ICMG Barge, escorted by a Liberty Navy Dreadnought. We Hastily made our escape, and headed to Magellan.

Ion storms rolled in, and we all were forced to dock and postpone further Raiding.

John Knox out.

Fierceshot reporting in. I was scouting around the Cortez system when I received a distress call from an Outcast Captain using the cosign of "Joyous.Occasion." After arriving at the scene in California, I made a quick observation and saw that a Liberty Siege Cruiser under LCBO flags and a bounty hunter named "Gaius.Baltar" were harassing the "Joyous.Occasion."

The bounty hunter took note of my captive prisoners and demanded their return, naturally I refused. I made short work of him in just under 37 seconds. One of my better times to be sure.

The LCBO Cruiser and the "Joyous.Occasion" were locked in an intense battle. Even though outgunned, the bold Outcast captain Catalina held her own against the odds. I like to see that in pilots, reminds me of myself at times...

As we fought on, what appeared to be an AI Core vessel by the name of "Narcissus" joined us after being paid by Captain Catalina. With our combined assault, the Cruiser was torn apart, with "Narcissus" dealing the finishing blow.

Before blowing up into oblivion however, the LCBO captain managed to make a distress call to a nearby LNS-Defiance. Once again Captain Catalina's fighting endurance pulled through and a good razor ripped the gunboat to shreds.

Overall, at the end of the day, three enemy vessels downed.

Until I make my next move, Xavier Fierceshot out.

Got a new ship. Werewolf Pirate VHF. Nice firepower. Little sluggish, but it works nicely.

But that's not what this is about. This is about some recent exploits that the SCRA is going to so wonderfully deny with some rant along the lines of "blah blah forged by enemies blah blah we are homophobic blah blah blah in Coalition enemies are spied on by you!". The following three uplinks are to guncam pictures from my brand new Werewolf. Taken in none other than the Omega-52 system.

• Zvezdny Gorodok
  
• Planet Jiangxi and Zhukovsky Station
  
• Scratching my initials into Zhukovsky
  

That's all for now, folks. I am currently resting aboard Freeport One in the Omega-3 system.

-----DECRYPTING-----

Bandit Duena Reyes reporting in from my first field mission with the raiders.

Met up with Xavier Fierceshot in Manchester, between Birmingham and the New London gate, we sat and watched the lanes for a bit. t'was mostly quiet, and we were heading out to New London when a notable transport came through. We chased him back to Birmingham, where he escaped.

Proceeding to New London, and perched around the Southampton to Leeds Gate lane, three notable ships came through. The first was a small freighter, who got away, and the second, a Liberty Mammoth "eXe", who refused to stop, and so was destroyed.

The third was a Bretonian Armed Forces Gunboat, "[BOB]Jake.Aylock" with which Xavier proceeded to taunt the captain of. We were preparing to make under-way to leave due to the unfavourable odds should a fight ensue, when an Outcast named Diego Guillermo, "Diego.Guillermo", showed up as backup for the now-inevitable fight. Sure enough, a fight kicked off, and it got rather ugly. At one point with my shields down, my ship was saved from one of the Gunboat's missiles by an unlucky Molly local, who (presumably unintentionally) took the shot and was destroyed. Shortly after, the fight had moved to the edge of the Somerset Asteroid field, and the Gunboat was finally destroyed with all hands. A primary turret was recovered, and Diego took it as payment for assistance rendered, by Xavier's suggestion.

We then headed back to Alcatraz, an uneventful trip, but on arriving, Xavier mentioned his scanners detected an SCRA craft. My ship was to damaged to go searching, so I docked for much needed repairs and got myself a fix from the Rouges in the bar. I can't speculate as to what Xavier did or didn't do with said Commie, so I'll not report anything on the matter.

Duena Out.

Subject: Kane's gay.

We came to a marvelous revelation today: KANE'S OUT OF THE CLOSET! Now I know what you're all thinking...we knew already. But after hours of roaming about Sirius in a drunken or high stupor, we came to the realization Kane is different.

On our travels of self discovery we found many friends of different calibers and oddities. In Bretonia, we found traders who were afraid of our capital ships...in Kusari we found homophobes who wanted to probably kill and eat poor Kane...and in the Taus...well we found the Outcasts who were busy killing things.

Fun but is that out of all this we gained over a thousand cryocubes. Yup. Whole damn load of them aboard the Chaos. We need them. For...keeping things cold. Yes...

So we are in the Taus if you need us. Please don't need us. We just used the cryocubes to freeze this store of alcohol we bought.

Ciao.

Not gay. Have a girlfriend. Drop it already, Jada. *sigh*

Yeah, we dicked around Sirius in some capital ships. Retaliator's on Freeport One. Bought a little catgirl doll with sparkly ears for LaBrie. Think he'll like it.

Destroying a small Corsair battlegroup: Worth every last one of them.

It was a long, difficult fight, but the Corsairs have been chased away from the Freeport. I'm lurking in the Walker Nebula, repairing my ship from the inside.

Barry was last seen on the surface of Sprague in a small crater. Still a remarkable showing for Merak team.

I would say more, but Petrucci was there. I'm sure he has a full recording. And I need to preserve battery power.

Escher out.
