Sirs, Ma'ams.

[color=#CCCCCC]Hartman here, reporting Clearwater's first brush with hostile forces (under present command.) Clearwater was en-route to Fort Severn, passing by Norfolk Shipyard at the time of the incident. Two Freelance transports (see patrol summary) had been halted approx. 600m from Norfolk by a Gallic bomber bearing an Outcast transponder (Callsign: white.eclipse). TACOM aboard the Battleship Missouri confirmed hostile designation of eclipse and had dispatched a light fighter wing to intercept at the time of arrival. Fighter intercepts proved ineffective, and the bomber also ordered the Clearwater to halt and transfer 3.000.000 standard credits to its account. A similar demand was also made of both Freelance transports. With my prompting, all refused. At this point, the Clearwater engaged the enemy with the objective of stalling the bomber until the other transports were able to clear the combat zone.

Didn't quite work out that way.

Once the first transport reached the lane to West Point, the bomber broke in pursuit and entered the lane after it. Thankfully, he didn't think to disrupt the thing behind him. The second transport and I also docked with the lane to pursue and re-engaged the target within range of West Point's battery. With our arrival, I'm glad to report that both Freelancers were able to reach trade lanes and disengage. With both transports out of the picture, the bomber focused on the Clearwater, critically damaging cargo pods 2-4, and severing the starboard fuel line. At this point, I ordered gunnery to stand down and attempted to stall the bomber. Not entirely successfully, and we had to make a transfer of funds to keep the Clearwater in space (an amount that was later paid by the <$>Blue.Danube.Waltz). Thankfully, Lieutenant Polstari arrived on the scene and was able to destroy the bomber before he broke through to the crew deck.

Clearwater is currently moored to Fort Severn, undergoing minor hull repairs. She'll be fully operational again in a matter of hours.

Patrol summary follows:

Patrol Strength [2]

• [LN]-Alan.Polstari [Guardian]
  
• [LN]-LLS-Clearwater [Bison]

That'll be all.

COMM ID: Recruit Adam M. Reid
TARGET ID: Liberty Forces Reporting Centre
SUBJECT: Several Cases
ENCRYPTION: Low
PRIORITY: Low

Recruit Adam Reid here, reporting a few interesting cases from my first patrol.

Case 1: No!
A freelancer apparently wanted to pass through Alaska and reach to Ellesmare, and the secondaries asked me if that's possible. Well, of course not.

[LNS]-Flash: Officer Adam
[LN]-Adam.Reid: What's up?
[LNS]-Flash: I have a Freelancer wanting to go to Ellsemer
[LN]-Adam.Reid: No.
Beasty: I will escort you Sir, but you must pay fine
[LN]-Adam.Reid: The law is clear... no one passes through Alaska.
[LNS]-Flash: LN says no
[LN]-Adam.Reid: We are done here.
Capt.Mathus: aw hell, grise fjord is going to be super mad.....i'll have to figure something else out

Case 2: Jumping Dreadnoughts
I've heard from systemwide comms that a Zoner Dreadnought is around Manhattan, and the 41st allowed it to stay. I immediately rushed to the scene and tried to solve the issue.

(SolarR[CL]-Lux-Eterna: I repeat: Zoner Juggernaut Lux Eterna asking for permission to stay near Manhattan until we get a tanker and can move
41st|LNS-Hell_Khan: this is 41st-LNS Carrier Command to Zoner Juggernaut
41st|LNS-Hell_Khan: park your cap ship away from Manhattan - at baltimore
[LN]-Adam.Reid: What the hell is this?
(SolarR[CL]-Lux-Eterna: We were already given permission from the 41st; just grabbing some H Fuel again and then we are off
[LN]-Adam.Reid: Sir... You do NOT bring any kind of warship, especially a dreadnought, without the Primary's permission.
[LN]-Adam.Reid: You stay and listen.
(SolarR[CL]-Lux-Eterna: We already have permission from the 41st; we are just here to get some H3 again and want to fly away right after that.

From what the Zoner was saying, their dreadnought used wrong coordinates and jumped directly to New York.

(SolarR[CL]-Lux-Eterna: Instead of Omega 41, we ended up here.
(SolarR[CL]-Lux-Eterna: And have not enough fuel to jump away.
(SolarR[CL]-Lux-Eterna: Thats why we had to enter; of course after asking the 41st for permission.

They wanted to leave through jumping again, though I was more inclined to make them move off our border first. However, I called for a higher ranked member of the Navy to decide on it, and soon Clark came. He allowed the Juggernaught to jump away. Afterwards we had a chat with 41st about how they really should be acting like.

[LN]-Jorzza.Clark,: 41st ships, let me remind you, you do not decide who is allowed within Liberty
41st|LNS-Nevada: Leam: Get over yourself, this arguement is pointless
41st|LNS-Hell_Khan: and let me remind you - no offense - we take orders ONLY from David Hale
41st|LNS-Hell_Khan: No Offense
41st|LNS-Hell_Khan: and next time - kindly if u have issues with any of the 41st - keep it low profile
[LN]-Jorzza.Clark,: No thats the [LN] dont overstep your bounds
41st|LNS-Nevada: Leam: Dont overstep yours
41st|LNS-Hell_Khan: do not let outsiders see that LN have issues with other secondary fleets
41st|LNS-Hell_Khan: thank you
[LN]-Jorzza.Clark,: Any issue is because you overstep your jurisdiction. or are just plain non compliant
41st|LNS-Hell_Khan: Jurisdiction?
41st|LNS-Hell_Khan: we are Liberty Navy
41st|LNS-Hell_Khan: LN primes or secondary
41st|LNS-Hell_Khan: to anyone out of Liberty - we are one
41st|LNS-Hell_Khan: make sure it stays that way -
[LN]-Adam.Reid: Hell Khan... If you are Liberty Navy, please learn about the LAW.
41st|LNS-Nevada: Leam: Clark, i really dont care what you remind, were done here.
[LN]-Adam.Reid: Next time, if you see a Battleship, you chase it AWAY, and if it doesn't go away, you SHOOT it down.
[LN]-Jorzza.Clark,: 41st is apart of the secondary fleet. do not think you are otherwise, Clark Out/
41st|LNS-Hell_Khan: where is this LAW written to make fun out of another LN?
41st|LNS-Nevada: Leam: Not it isnt, check your facts
[LN]-Adam.Reid: You read me, Khan?
41st|LNS-Hell_Khan: we decide what to do and when to do
41st|LNS-Nevada: Leam: Adam, you talk to me, not my escort
[LN]-Adam.Reid: No, you do what the Law tells you to.
[LN]-Adam.Reid: You don't decide a thing.
[LN]-Adam.Reid: You are a soldier, not government.
[LN]-Jorzza.Clark,: Reid. Leave them be.
41st|LNS-Nevada: Leam: When i decided to raid rheinland, i decide to raid, you arent stopping that
41st|LNS-Hell_Khan: sorry my friend - you are not my fleet commander and I dont take orders from you - you are a LN Pilot as I am
41st|LNS-Hell_Khan: David Hale is our comander and after him - i take orders from 41st Omaha
[LN]-Adam.Reid: Sir... No one gives orders to you, but you can't allow a Battleship to stay in Liberty. Okay?
[LN]-Adam.Reid: Next time, PLEASE, don't do that.
41st|LNS-Nevada: Leam: We are aware, now were done here

Shot 1 - Shot 2

Case 3: Adventerous Pirates
I found this nice pirate fella around Manhattan, who was trying to pirate people around there so bravely but idioticly. So I took it down. The ID of the ship was white.eclipse.

Shot 1 - Shot 2

Case 4: Tricky Pirates
Later on, I was patrolling through the Trade Lanes and I found a Rogue Bomber, Ryner.Lute, disrupting the lanes. I tried to arrest the guy to take him to the Sugarland, and he complied... to a point.

[LN]-Adam.Reid: You again...
Ryner.Lute: yes me again
[LN]-Adam.Reid: Come here and let's have a chat.
Ryner.Lute: just made 1 million credits
(...)
[LN]-Adam.Reid: Alright... Do you really want to serve your time in Sugarland?
Ryner.Lute: how much time will it be?
[LN]-Adam.Reid: I will escort you to Sugarland, and the court will decide what's your fine and the time you should serve.
Ryner.Lute: Hmm fine fine
[LN]-Adam.Reid: Move towards the Texas Jump Gate.
[LN]-Adam.Reid: Cruise. Stay away from Badlands.

But he decided to make a run for it afterwards. I chased him, but he took refuge in a strange shaped rock with its guns pointed at me with the intention of burning my butt, so I cleared off.

Shot 1 - Shot 2 - Shot 3 - Shot 4

Case 5: Manhattan is not a good place to make friends
Two hostiles were found around Manhattan, one being an Outcast Bomber named, Jose.Alvarez, the other a Hellfire Legionary, [HF]-William.Sweeney. I first took on the bomber and quickly terminated it, meanwhile the legionary was being engaged by a very inexperienced naval pilot of the secondaries. I decided to take the secondary's place and engaged Sweeney myself. Even though my Executioner is not suited for taking on these guys, already tired and a little bit damaged pilot of the Legion was soon bested.

Shot 1 - Shot 2 - Shot 3

Case 6: I would fly more if I could
I've seen Rudvig Stark from the primaries chatting and chasing an Order agent through New York immediately afterwards, and decided to join in. After a while, it became apparent that the Order agent wouldn't leave without an engagement. So we decided that I should engage him.

Order|-Shade.99: I meant the fact you don't understand in general.
Order|-Shade.99: Of what is really going on.
[LN]-Rudwig.Stark.: Really, enlighten us.
[LN]-Rudwig.Stark.: With your "greater" knowledge.
Order|-Shade.99: If you are clever.
[LN]-Adam.Reid: Not while we are on duty, sir.
[LN]-Rudwig.Stark.: I say we get this one out of here, by force.
[LN]-Adam.Reid: IF he wants to chat, we gather around in Freeport sometime and talk.
Order|-Shade.99: So you are automatically switching to "dumb" mode when on duty?
[LN]-Rudwig.Stark.: And you switch to insult mode when you're flying?
[LN]-Adam.Reid: Yes, I will not risk anything while I am duty, and certainly I am NOT your friend.
[color=#FFCCFF][LN]-Rudwig.Stark.: This guy clearly wants a fight.
Order|-Shade.99: It's pretty easy...look.
Order|-Shade.99: I am the so called terrorist.
Order|-Shade.99: You are the hand of the gouvernment.
Order|-Shade.99: THe right one.
Order|-Shade.99: That is abused for it's power.
Order|-Shade.99: The muscles are working...but lead by the brain.
[LN]-Adam.Reid: You are in my place, agent... and I don't want you here.
Order|-Shade.99: And the brain doesn't want to tell you anything.
[LN]-Adam.Reid: Am I supposed to make it more clear with the tint of your blood?
[LN]-Rudwig.Stark.: What do you think, Mr. Reid, get rid of him?
[LN]-Adam.Reid: I will deal with you now.

However, the enemy Order Agent was skillful and better equipped than me, so it became obvious that I would be losing. I decided to continue anyways, to pick up some maneuvers and show them the relentless courage of our Naval pilots. Besides, my Executioner would be scrapped with the damage I took.

[LN]-Rudwig.Stark.: That's not looking too good, pull out Mr. Reid, I'll cover ya.
[LN]-Adam.Reid: Get my pod.
Order|-Shade.99: Give up pilot.
Order|-Shade.99: I let you go.
[LN]-Adam.Reid: No way.
Death: [LN]-Adam.Reid was killed by Order|-Shade.99 (Wasp/Hornet)

I launched the pod in time and I was safe. Stark took my pod and dropped it in the West Point Academy. I heard from him that he let the Agent slip away afterwards.

[LN]-Adam.Reid: Alright... I am safe in my pod... *grins* get me outta here!
[LN]-Rudwig.Stark.: Yer out, don't worry!
[LN]-Adam.Reid: Was a nice fight, what happened to the guy?
[LN]-Rudwig.Stark.: I let him go.
[LN]-Rudwig.Stark.: It was a nice fight.
[LN]-Adam.Reid: Indeed it was.

I want to finish my reports with this epic piece, showing the bravery our secondaries, instilling fear into the hearts of our enemies. I am sure the Agent got what it was coming to him.

41st|LNS-Hell_Khan: oh man - why doesnt the red people understand the word STAY OUT OF LIBERTY
41st|LNS-Hell_Khan: order ship shade.99 -move out of NY asap

I've got 4 hours down, 4 to go. Recruit Adam Reid, signing off.

COMM ID: [color=#99FFFF]Lieutenant Jane Hartman

SUBJECT: Colonial Gunboat.
ENCRYPTION: Low
PRIORITY: Low

Sirs, Ma'ams.

[color=#CCCCCC]Had an interesting run-in yesterday. Clearwater was in the process of hauling materials to our facility when sigs picked up a Colonial Gunboat, callsign: Ace.Of.Spades in Manhattan Orbit. I inquired as to the Captain's intentions, and he repeatedly refused to divulge them. The situation ended with The.Ace.Of.Spades attempting to flee and choosing to fly into the sun rather then halt and answer the damn question. Now, he must have had mighty quick escape pods, because the same ship re-emerged shortly after and proceeded to lecture me on the law. You'd think he might've been a bit more polite with two Assault Carriers in orbit.

I'll be sending a transmission to the Colonial Government shortly to determine whether they gave orders for the ship to be New York. If there's no valid explanation forthcoming, Sir/Ma'am, I'd like to request that the ship The.Ace.Of.Spades be grounded if it re-enters Liberty. In the meantime, I'll be issuing a fine and barring the vessel from the Republic's territories until further notice.

Logs of the incident are attached.

Patrol summary follows:

[17.06.2012 01:42:44] Ace.Of.Spades: Mind if i watch?
[17.06.2012 01:43:21] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: Ace Of Spades, this is Clearwater. State your intentions, over.
[17.06.2012 01:43:35] Ace.Of.Spades: My intentions? Hmm, Dont know
[17.06.2012 01:43:57] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: That's hardly an adequete answer, Captain.
[17.06.2012 01:44:12] Ace.Of.Spades: Hartmen, Ive broken no laws
[17.06.2012 01:44:37] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: I'm not going to ask how you know my name, but the presence of a military-class gunboat of a foreign power
[17.06.2012 01:44:54] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: In Liberty is damn reason enough for me to start asking questions, wouldn't you agree?
[17.06.2012 01:45:16] Ace.Of.Spades: Actually
[17.06.2012 01:45:25] Ace.Of.Spades: I talked to Alan about this last night
[17.06.2012 01:45:38] Ace.Of.Spades: Muheeb drop my shields and i will engage
[17.06.2012 01:45:47] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: Muheeb, break contact.
[17.06.2012 01:45:57] Muheeb: copy
[17.06.2012 01:46:08] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: Yes? And what did Lieutenant Polstari have to say on the matter?
[17.06.2012 01:46:44] Ace.Of.Spades: Well
[17.06.2012 01:47:08] Ace.Of.Spades: Alan said that Colonial vessels are not illegal in Liberty
[17.06.2012 01:47:16] Ace.Of.Spades: Unless marked as =CR=
[17.06.2012 01:47:37] Ace.Of.Spades: Gunboats are also not illegal in Liberty Its cruiser and up
[17.06.2012 01:47:52] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: I'm aware of the laws, Captain.
[17.06.2012 01:47:59] Ace.Of.Spades: Mmm
[17.06.2012 01:48:06] Ace.Of.Spades: So why are you asking questions?
[17.06.2012 01:48:07] 41st|LNS-Nevada: Leam: Huheeb do something useful like herding all these people away from this vessle!
[17.06.2012 01:48:15] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: That does -not- mean that I'm about to accept the presence of your ship in Liberty without an explanation.
[17.06.2012 01:48:28] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: If a Bretonian Gunboat showed up here, I'd be asking the exact same questions.
[17.06.2012 01:48:52] Ace.Of.Spades: Hell, You see Liberty is the basic Middle of Sirius
[17.06.2012 01:49:29] Ace.Of.Spades: Its free here, Also my home system is only 3 systems over
[17.06.2012 01:49:43] Ace.Of.Spades: California>Cortez>Coronado
[17.06.2012 01:50:03] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: Relevant as all that is, you still haven't told me why you're sitting in Manhattan orbit at this very moment.
[17.06.2012 01:50:17] Muheeb: what's the story?
[17.06.2012 01:50:20] Ace.Of.Spades: Because your questioning me?
[17.06.2012 01:50:36] Muheeb: Nevada?
[17.06.2012 01:51:00] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: Don't play coy, Captain.
[17.06.2012 01:51:10] Ace.Of.Spades: Now Clearwater, Are you charging me with a crime?
[17.06.2012 01:51:36] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: I asked for your intentions. You've given me an update on the geopolitical situation.
[17.06.2012 01:51:55] Ace.Of.Spades: Ill ask again, Are you charging me with a crime?
[17.06.2012 01:52:06] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: If you'll kindly answer the question, Captain.
[17.06.2012 01:52:23] Ace.Of.Spades: Ill take that as a no, And ill be on my way
Note: At this point, the Ace.Of.Spades began charging cruise engines and set a course for the sun.
[17.06.2012 01:52:32] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: Intercept that ship.
[17.06.2012 01:52:41] Muheeb: copy
[17.06.2012 01:52:46] Ace.Of.Spades: Do i really need to talk to Alan again....

[17.06.2012 01:53:24] Ace.Of.Spades: Best break pursuit
[17.06.2012 01:54:02] Ace.Of.Spades: under Pursuit by LN ships
[17.06.2012 01:54:12] Heavy.Lifter-A.13: Sucks to be you then.
[17.06.2012 01:54:14] Ace.Of.Spades: Request breaking off immediatly
[17.06.2012 01:54:16] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: Captain, you are now in violation of Liberty Law. Cut your engines.
[17.06.2012 01:54:35] Muheeb: he will commit suicide
[17.06.2012 01:54:42] Death: Ace.Of.Spades committed suicide
[17.06.2012 01:54:44] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Of course he will.
[17.06.2012 01:55:02] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: Thanks for the assist Muheeb.
[17.06.2012 01:55:06] Muheeb: so he is a wanted man
[17.06.2012 01:55:10] Muheeb: np
[17.06.2012 01:55:15] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: He will be once I patch it through to HQ.
[17.06.2012 01:55:23] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: Damn moron.
[17.06.2012 01:55:28] Muheeb: yep
[17.06.2012 01:55:44] LNS-Polaris.: John: Greetings Dear LLS Pilot.
[17.06.2012 01:55:52] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: Well, that didn't exactly go down smooth.
[17.06.2012 01:56:03] Muheeb: yes
[17.06.2012 01:56:03] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: Evening Commander.
Note: Relatively quiet moment in orbit. A civilian arrived to report the presence of pirate forces to the Polaris. Omitted from this log for succinctness. Colonial Gunboat undocked from Manhattan shortly after.
[17.06.2012 01:58:13] LNS-Polaris.: Colonial?
[17.06.2012 01:58:24] Ace.Of.Spades: Break off Muheeb
[17.06.2012 01:58:38] LNS-Polaris.: Sir...
[17.06.2012 01:58:47] Ace.Of.Spades: Polaris
[17.06.2012 01:58:56] LNS-Polaris.: Joh: Yep?
[17.06.2012 01:58:59] Ace.Of.Spades: Colonials are not illegal to be in Liberty
[17.06.2012 01:59:17] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: I believe we had this conversation Captain, and it ended with you flying into a sun.
[17.06.2012 01:59:31] Ace.Of.Spades: That it did
[17.06.2012 01:59:32] LNS-Polaris.: John: So why Trenton Was So Hard On ye?
[17.06.2012 01:59:46] Ace.Of.Spades: Problems with our Governments in the past
[17.06.2012 02:00:12] LNS-Polaris.: John: Well...i hope that you know what you are Doing
[17.06.2012 02:00:24] Ace.Of.Spades: Hmm?
[17.06.2012 02:00:34] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: Now, listen in Captain. Personally, I don't have an issue with you in Liberty.
[17.06.2012 02:00:51] Ace.Of.Spades: Mhmm
[17.06.2012 02:01:03] Ace.Of.Spades: Good. Thats how it should be
[17.06.2012 02:01:09] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: When you seem to think that government forces, in Liberty space don't have a right to question you, that's when we
[17.06.2012 02:01:14] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: have a problem.
[17.06.2012 02:01:27] Ace.Of.Spades: I asked if you were charging me with something
[17.06.2012 02:01:31] Ace.Of.Spades: You didnt answer
[17.06.2012 02:01:54] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: That's because you failed to answer my questions, Captain. That's the way things work here.
[17.06.2012 02:01:58] Ace.Of.Spades: Meaning i wasnt under arrest until you said Yes
[17.06.2012 02:02:26] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: Don't give me that rubbish.
[17.06.2012 02:02:32] Ace.Of.Spades: Clearwater, Are you charging me with a crime?
[17.06.2012 02:02:54] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: Yes. I am, -Captain.-
[17.06.2012 02:03:00] Ace.Of.Spades: What?
[17.06.2012 02:03:33] Ace.Of.Spades: What crime have I broken?
[17.06.2012 02:03:36] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: Failure to comply with lawful directives. You'll recieve notification over the neural net.
[17.06.2012 02:03:54] Ace.Of.Spades: *Heavy Sigh*
[17.06.2012 02:04:29] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: When a member of the Liberty Navy, in Liberty, tells you to cut your engines, you cut your engines.
[17.06.2012 02:04:46] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: In the meantime, I suggest you find yourself somewhere to dock that ship of yours.
[17.06.2012 02:04:50] Ace.Of.Spades: You werent charging me with a crime i was free
[17.06.2012 02:05:13] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: I am not going to waste my time debating the law with you, Captain.
[17.06.2012 02:05:21] Ace.Of.Spades: Extactly
[17.06.2012 02:05:29] Ace.Of.Spades: Because theres none i have broken!
[17.06.2012 02:05:32] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: If we tell you to halt, and you fail to do so, you are in violation of the law, not us.
[17.06.2012 02:05:48] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: You'll recieve notification shortly.

Clark Here,
Today at the request of Bretonian Armed Forces i brought myself and my Upholder class bomber to New London where a Bretonian Armed Forces Fleet was assembling. I was assigned to a Lt. Moore's command for the operation. He led the Fighter/Bomber wing. the Capitals where lead by some one from from BAF high command. The fighters went into Leeds first. as soon as we hit the other side we we're engaged by a GRN fighter recon element. A couple of the Fighters held them off while the fleet jumped in and proceeded to Planet Leeds. A few minutes after a defensive formation was achieved at Leeds the Gallic Royal Navy showed up

INITIAL HOSTILE CONTACTS
4x Valor Class Battleships
4x Obstinate Class Cruisers
1x Perilous Class Gunboat
Multiple Lynx Class Very Heavy Fighters

The the shooting started as it usually does. then an ion storm rolled in for a few moment nobody could see or do anything. the ion storm knocked out anything with a circuit or generated electrical power as well as any visual of anything. At least no one floated into Planet Leeds' gravitational pull and burnt up in its orbit. When i regained control, so did everyone else. and the shooting started up again. Allied forces consisting of BAF, myself from the [LN] primaries, BPA and a few Colonial Remnant ships. Allied fighters held off their fighters leaving the Capitals and the Bombers cleared to engage their Capitals. The Bretonian Capitals had a hard time taking on the Gallic Battleships. Valors are pretty much lined with turrets. as-well as what appears to be a Linear Cannon running along the length of the ship. They are easily more powerful than the Linear Siege Cannon on our own Siege cruisers. these gun could seriously pose a risk for our Capital ships. Id equate their firepower to equal that of two of our dreadnaughts. But there is a silver lining. while they have more C.I.W.S guns the sheer size of the Valor class makes it hard for them to cover their mass. They are susceptible to Bomber craft. So there's at least one advantage.

GUNCAM FOOTAGE
File #01 File #02 File #03 File #04 File #05

All of the attacking Battleships were destroyed. Three out of the four Cruisers where downed, 1 cloaked at retreated at a guess. The Gunboat was ripped to shreds. I'm not sure about the fighters as that wasn't my role. Once the Capital ships where destroyed i left the engagement. I let the Bretonian forces mop up. We won that round. But against the firepower of the Gallic forces it will be a tough fight. At present i am at Curacao. i need a stiff drink, possibly two. Ill return back to the Logistics office tomorrow. I'm going to end this here. the adrenaline drain is taxing as we all know. That reminds me, In my absence send the Logistics Paperwork to Polstari or Hartman.
Clark Out.

PRIORITY: High

I'm afraid to inform that Lieutenant Commander Cahoone has forced herself into an unintended retirement somewhere in Liberty , not before leaving a goodbye gift for me in form of gunshot to the leg. I don't know if she'll show up again or not, but I can affirm that her mind is rather... misplaced. Misplaced enough to let the already known 'Alycia' take over her actions.

A plain mental sickness she may have been hiding for long, or anything more complex... I don't know. I'm not even sure if there would be a way to bring her back alive and completely sane, but I hope we aren't forced to take any drastic measures at the very beginning before we can assess this issue correctly.

Joshua Ashfield;

I knew that the post-Sarah Willows period of comparative sanity and mediocrity was too good to be true. There's nothing like a bit of psychosis to spice up your day, is there? How's that leg doing?

I'm sure that many of us have, by now, had the pleasure of being introduced to this alter ego. I have, but I didn't give it too much thought. But, the information that you provided changes things.

There are plenty of places and people specialised in these matters in Liberty, and it's definitely our duty to make sure that she gets the benefit of their services to treat her illness. With this in mind, the best option would be for her to be apprehended quietly, if possible, and forced to participate in one of those programs under duress.

Once you have recovered from your injuries, Joshua, I hope your help will be forthcoming.

SUBJECT: First Patrol Complete

Patrol duty has been a fairly uneventful task. Even when encountering difficult situations, I've been able to call in for backup from other officers. (I was afforded no such luxury in my previous line of work trading commodities to Kusari in my transport). None the less, nothing too dangerous has come by my way lately. Some minor contraband, and a rescue of a civilian with a disabled engine under attack from Lane Hacker rookies. My last patrol out with Herr Polanski, sorry, Mr. Polanski, met with little difficulty. I was providing escort for a re-supply run to Omega-3. Other than picking up a remote contact from a Lane Hacker Gun Boat, and bumping into a Corsair by the name of Torrero, the run was successful. Fortunately, we met up with the Corsair within a Freeport NFZ, so no altercation took place and he eventually moved off without incident.

I do believe I have logged sufficient hours on this particular craft, and am looking to upgrade soon.

TARGET ID: Primary Fleet Command HQ
SUBJECT: Interdiction & Destruction
ENCRYPTION: Medium
PRIORITY: Medium

Greetings, sirs.

Today was an especially busy day with respect to interdicting transport vessels. My report as follows.

I began my work over Planet Houston in my Upholder, looking to enforce the oft ignored Embargo we have against Rheinland. My first prize of the day was a transport tagged as [color=#FF9900]EvGO, a Luxury Liner carrying Neon. It attempted to head to Hamburg via Bering, but I cut the trade lane and attempted to contact its captain. While I was finally able to get the vessel to turn around, it refused to follow further lawful orders to halt. I had meant only to fine the vessel, but instead had to order its destruction for failure to comply with my directives.

Neutralized

I was joined by Junior Lieutenant Hunter over Houston for a while, who assisted me with my duties.

Unfortunately that was not the last time I saw the vessel, as about 15 minutes later, while dealing with other vessels, I saw another vessel of the same make and tag arrive from the direction of the California Jump Hole. Interspace Commerce's insurance arm sure works fast, it seems. The vessel looked like it was intending to reclaim the cargo of its predecessor, so I ordered the remaining Neon destroyed and ordered EvGO to depart. It refused and hung around for well over 10 minutes while I was dealing with other craft. It then opened fire on me, depleting my shields and giving my vessel some hull damage. I evaded further fire and I ordered its summary destruction.

Neutralized, again

I took a break, leaving the rest to Miss Hunter. I resumed my patorl later that day after addressing chow and other items. When I returned Junior Lieutenant Hunter had moved on to other duties, but I was later joined on my patrol by Commander Sanders and Lieutenant Johnson. Several of the Mandalorian Mercenaries joined us as well, hoping to cash in on any bounties that might have been present. I regret for their sakes that nothing turned up that I think they would have been able to lay claim to, but their assistance was appreciated, and it was good to learn to work cooperatively with them.

Not much later Commander Sanders picked up a Cardamine smuggler, tagged as [XTF]Dreamrunner, near the Colorado Jump Hole in New York. I was able to join him and my "Peacekeeper" put an end to the vessel's run to Manhattan.

Cardi-Boom

I was going to return to further Embargo duty over Houston, but Commander Sanders picked up several vessels operating in Alaska on LRS. We moved to intercept, and found several Zoner "Whale" Transports in a convoy carrying Scientists. They were ordered to halt, to which they complied, and then they were handed over to me and my "Peacekeeper" for summary punishment. Amusingly enough one of the vessels attempted to bribe me with eight (8) million Sirian Credits, but my answer was anti-matter meeting the matter of his hull. The results are given below.

No Deals
Comm Log 1
Comm Log 2

Commander Sanders and Lieutenant Johnson departed after some time to other duties, and the Mandalorians returned to their own persuits. A while later on Recruit Reid joined me on patrol.

I regret that the following incident had to occur, but I caught the vessel tagged as (SolarR[CT]-Ashley.S exiting the Alaska system in Zone 21. I understand that the captain of this vessel is Lieutenant Harper's wife, but I dealt with it in the matter prescribed. The vessel was severely damaged as a result of its detour through hazardous space and most likely would not have been able to continue further without major assistance. I was able to call in S&R to recover the captain and crew of the vessel and have them returned to the Missouri to be processed. I believe that there may be several parties who wish to speak to the vessel's captain, Mr. Harper included.

The final major incident of the day was reported by Mr. Keller of the LSF. He reported a vessel tagged as Shar`ky being in violation of Zone 21, and also carrying several units of Counterfeit Software. Recruit Reid and I interdicted the vessel and terminated it with extreme prejudice. The visuals from the LSF are a bit sketchy, but they provide rough evidence of the vessel within Zone 21, and combined with Mr. Keller's testimony I considered this sufficient reason to act.

Neutralized

On a personal note, I would like to say that it's good to be back in the cockpit after that time in Med Bay. I have cleared with Medical that I am in sufficient healthy to pilot again, and have passed the psychological evaluation for returning to duty. I look forward to being of further service to the Liberty Navy, and hope that the actions of today reflect well on my continuing abilities to do so.

Lieutenant Polstari, signing off.
