Matt looks delighted after a good afternoons work

Sirs,

[color=##33CCFF]It was a tough afternoon, after aquiring an ARCHANGEL weapon, I was forced to mount it - afraid that it would be lost if my ship was destroyed. As such, I went to answer Dimitrova's distress call slightly more powerful than usual.

Although the gun drains energy it was certainly useful in downing 2 TCG fighters. I request that the High Command do look at letting us Lieutenant's get hold of a couple more of these types of guns - We can certainly turn the tide.

After our victory - I did a short patrol in New York with John and our latest recruit Jeff Blue. This kid certainly shows some promise, we fired up our simulators to test each other. Not bad flying at all.

I'm also delighted to become Dimitrova's XO on her little gunboat. The Valiant is a heck of a ship, although her crew don't like me sitting in her chair - comfy as it is. Hopefully I'll get to meet her offshift later.

Sirs,

Today I launched my fighter on a short patrol.

I took a tradelane patrol in the New York System, and was glad to say that everything was fine, no pirates demaning money, no criminals, no rheinlanders, it was all normal business.

However as soon as I returned to Planet Manhattan I met this mercenary named Jenna.Stawberry, who was trying to sell illegal narcotics.

I confronted her about it, and she shot at me. After that she attempted to run like a coward, I was not able to disrupt her ship and she managed to esape.

I request that all naval pilots and the High Command be aware of this mercenary, from what Ive'€™ heard she is trouble.

While trying to find her I ran across an Order BAttlecruiser right in front of Norfolk. Anchilles was the name.

Forgive me, due to the lack of firepower I had no choice to let it go. No other naval ship was around, so I decided it was worthless, however I did follow it back to Alaska.

Greetings,

As is traditional paperwork must be observed with the proper copies and seals of approval. So, I send this application for strikecraft upgrade. I have, at present, logged over 8.5 hours within the Executioner strikecraft provided by the BS-Mississippi. To tell the truth, it needs a heavy cleaning....due to the constant action she and I have seen....i.e. pirates, smugglers and Keepers, oh my! Please forgive excess body fluids and other debris....My commanders are not known for their understanding of time-off.

I include all the proper certifications and qaulifications within this transmission showing my completion of training.

Thank you for the use of the Executioner but I miss flying the Guardian and look forward to her shake down cruise.

Recruit Jeff Blue

P.S. In addition, I have also acquired proper Liberty Navy Guard IFF and ID.

Greetings High Command,

Quite the eventful patrol today.

I undocked from Battleship Missouri and was immedietly contacted by Admiral Malrone. It turned out that we had quite a big Naval patrol, and I was called to the California system to dispatch of a few undesirable hackers. What supposed to be a walk in the park turned out to be a full system shutdown, firefights with multiple contacts, and a battle with a nomad gunship.

I was dispatched to Magellan to join Admiral Malrone’s battlegroup. I first Rved at the Cortez Gate and was on call to blockade the gate. Just our luck when A Smuggler turned up with a hull full of counterfeit software. Man was it is crapload of stuff. We proceded to force him to drop it. However in the mist of the shuffle the infamous criminal known as Phate jumped in. Immedietly we were told to engage. While we were in a brief state of disorganization the smuggler thought it was a smart idea to make a break for it, well it was the last decision he made, as we chased him down to cortez and blew him up. Phate jumped to Cortez as well, with me and another ensign hot on his tail. He put us through a chase all the way to Magellen where he jumped into a weird aurora, it was like he disappeared, and his id went off my scanner. I Returned to the FP to RV with the battlegroup and we dispatched of yet another hacker. Seeing the number of criminals, Admiral Malrone ordered a complete lockdown of Magellen, we had separate battlegroups guard every known exit and entrance in Magellen, for a while things turned out well, some traders passed in and out, all was well for a couple of minutes…

Until they showed up….

We felt a disturbance and it was instantly known that there was a nomad in the area. The Admiral ordered us to search and dispatch of the nomad, when I reached the FP I saw nothing else other than a nomad gunship. Wasting no time, our forces converged on the Gunship, disrupted it in the icefields, and promptly took it out. After we took care of the situation we went back to our posts. A patrol squadron found another hacker and attempted to dispatch of it. The hacker tried to escape to jump back to California so I was ordered to jump through the cali gate to meet him on the other side. And then something strange happened, during midjump my ship malfunctioned,…. Or the jumpgate really, and it landed me right back to battleship Missouri, it was pretty freaky and weird at the same time, I suggest we checked out that gate.

Since I was a long way from the border, and the naval forces had it on locked, I decided to sign off of duty for some R&R.

Subject: Difficult Evening

Matt seems tired but otherwise is in perfect condition

Sirs,

Very tough evening last night. Only just recovered from the stresses of it, however remarkably I'm unscathed - Not sure why that is.. Red One is having half it's electronics and afterburner replaced due to the pounding I took.

We were on patrol of New York we encountered the pirate Go.Crazy and his henchman Jeffery.Hernandez. After orders by Angel, we took on Hernandez. The pilot knows how to fly his Bayonet and he took out Angelina with a well placed mine. I rescued her from her burning ship before fighting on. I reduced the guy down to a handful of bots and bats but the fight was dragging on longer than I anticipated and I was tiring. Eventually I relented and let Tia join the fight. She certainly saved her superior officer and is to be commended. She relentlessly pounded Hernandez until he was nothing more than space dust. I saw his pod eject though, and his comms after the fight warned of future Hernandez destruction. Perhaps a warning, perhaps the words of a madman.

After that fight, We received word of an assault taking place on California by Rheinland forces. I joined the fight midway through the battle to re-enforce our pilots. Our secondary pilots were dropping like flies and although the situation seemed desperate, it was definitely win-able. I jumped in and ordered combined fire on the bodyguard of Jarek. The gunboat was lit up under all our guns and exploded in a haze. The remaining cruiser seeing the destruction of his wingman attempted to surrender. This was obviously disregarded (no mercy is shown to us by the strudels - why should we show any?) and we forced the ship into lower Mojave orbit. We lost a couple more pilots in the final assault, however the cruiser finally relented - exploding with a beautiful fireball in Mojave's orbit. The rogue who helped against the Rheinlanders sped off very quickly as soon as the cruiser was destroyed. A favour to the Navy perhaps? I'll monitor him/her - See what he/she does in the future.

I headed back to the Missouri after getting a new distress call. The AI cruiser - Research-Drone|Chemical was getting dangerously close to Norfolk. He failed to stop in Liberty in my previous evenings patrol, even firing on Navy officers and as such, was treated as a hostile target. A squadron of bombers and an LNS gunboat saw off the cruiser with no casulties - However significant damage was caused to the shipyards by the exploding cruiser as it rammed Norfolk with it's dying breath. Damage control have advised that the shipyards should be back to full operating efficiency within the week. However the under construction Dreadnought bore the brunt of the damage and will be delayed in its launch again.

Finally, we received word of more Rheinland hostiles converging on Texas. At this point I was very tired due to the stresses of the previous fights, however I remained focused and determined enough to take out Jarek. The last remaining fighter however was a problem. After fighting his Wraith for nearly half an hour, I called in backup and made my escape. The Rheinland Wraith ran back to Hamburg the last I heard.

Hopefully - I'll get an easier patrol next time. I'm shattered.. I think I need a drink...

Subject: Pirates should surely get the message soon, Red One finishes with a great flurry

Matt seems more refreshed as he makes this evenings report

Sirs,

An easier patrol this evening, after receiving word from Capt. Zanders of a pirate ambush in New York - We formed an attack group to put down the threat. Our force comprised of 4 LN Guardians along with various indies and a Xeno. Quaint. Enemy force of Two Tridentes and Two Sabres. Our aim was to down the Tridentes, then get the indies out of the way and focus on the sabres 3v2. The first Tridente went down pretty quickly - however the remaining force focused their fire on my ship resulting in me taking evasive maneuvers. The other fighters in the attack group did enough damage to the Tridente for it to break off - which meant I pushed in again and it was downed. The indies and Simon broke off while Zanders, John and I finished off the two Sabres. One enjoyed my mines so much he ate three of them. I must sugar coat them to make them more appealing. The last Sabre - Shushy - Started firing on rookies which resulted in Zanders calling the full force of the group to finish him off. No mercy.

We then ran to California where the last echo's of a battle were taking place. Simon and I were to tackle a remaining hacker fighter called Vyrus. Obviously tiring of the battle, he spammed his mines. I didn't - His shields went down with a quick chainfiring magma combo - His ship obliterated by a perfect mine blow.

As Red One has now finished her experimental stage - I'm moving her equipment over to a standard guardian. As I have reported - I've had problems with the beastie from the beginning and the last few fights have certainly taken their toll on it. As such, I've ripped out the Thruster and Scanner. These were the only bits worth saving. The rest of the ship is slated for scrap and recycling. The new guardian now has the enhanced equipment. Took her out for a quick stroll around Norfolk - Sub Lt Tippman approves. It has the new fighter smell, all the controls work and it feels pretty good.

All in all - A successful evening. Zander's patrols seem more.. organised? Mind you, I'd be surprised if the man didn't have some form of alphabetical order to the way his socks are in his drawer.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello High Command,

Tis was a strange patrol today, nothing much to report.

I undocked from battleship Missouri, and instantly saw a hacker heavy fighter headed my way. However the defences made short work of him. I shrugged and headed to the Colorado system to do a patrol. While on patrol in Colorado I got a couple of reports of pirates in California, including one from a USI convoy. I was on my way there then a TF7 captain informed me that there was a nomad Osiris in the system. Well, I headed towards California to investigate, and jumped in.

After I did a quick patrol there was nothing at all to report, no hostiles everywhere. I returned to New York to continue my search for the Osiris. After a while of no success my engine started to act up. I made an emergency docking to Norfolk and am having it repaired. I plan on patrolling again later in the evening.
