As obvious as it can be. This is the place where you all leave your reports and comms to fellow Gaians as well as where Angel Circle make their announcements.
Hopefully everyone gets it.
I suppose... So, where do I start? Hm.
First!
Alright, now the introduction's done. As planned, I've took the Oracle for a spin and crossed half of the sector to reach Omicron Delta. Freeport 11, to be exact. While calm at first, the area soon began to crawl with Core and AI capitals that decided to have a brawl not far from the asteroid field the Freeport is located in. I've made a few crappy guncam shots of the AI vessels. They seem... Interesting enough to maybe even justify a salvage operation.
The Core seemed to not care about me much. They probably won't care about us at all as long as we keep our heads down. Though, consirdering the amount of love between them and Corsairs, I think we shouldn't use Yarren as the base of operations for Overseer once she's launched. Freeport 11 will be our safest bet.
Oh, as a fun-fact. I've also spotted a BDM vessel that was happily helping Core take out the AIs. At least they weren't BIS.
I'll attach those guncam shots to this report... And that's it, I guess.
Second entry from my Delta Recon. I think those are good news that Core doesn't mind us as long as we stay low? At least that's what Core's Papa Smurf told me, that Nodviet or something dude.
As for the more important things, Flora's charts are good and up to date. I've located Zeta jumphole without any issues and, as planned, found myself within the Chuuk field. I've then found both Yap and Pohnpei clouds. Nothing remarkable except an outpost that began to raze me with turrets. Seemed to be a Core installation, not far from Pohnpei's edge. The system was otherwise empty and quiet, with the sole exception of a suprisingly lone blue pest, and I should soon be on my way to chart Minor and it's connection to Sigmas.
You all better keep your eyes wide open. There's a freaky lass flying around with our ID codes. She claims that she was locked on Islay and got some pharmas injected or other kinky stuff done. I ain't sure what is this supposed to be, but Sherman, you better take a look at her.
Rest of you, don't be suprised if you'll have to put someone down with brute force.
I would like to first thank my new brothers and sisters for such a speedy extraction from my predicament on Sprague. I hope we can find the time to discuss what little of my research I managed to get out with me at some point soon!
Well, as far as first days on the job go, yesterday was unusually involved!
At approximately 2010hrs our group RV'ed at Freeport 1, Omega 3. After a quick sweep of the system, there seemed to be no significant enemy presence.
The squadron then moved to North Bretonia, avoiding the trade lanes in the more heavily patrolled systems. We made our patrol as far as the Cortez system, and found nothing of particular interest beyond a group of ships engaged in a debate in orbit around Curacao. Under these circumstances the squadron returned via the trade lanes to the Manchester system.
Upon arrival at the Manchester system we set up an ambush on the trade lane between the New London jump gate and Birmingham Station. The ambush was a success, capturing two enemy transports, one of which was a Planetform vessel.
The first ship was "Ageira~Alan.Pace". This transport was hauling a quantity of consumable goods and a large amount of cobalt ore. A small amount of the alcoholic consumables were confiscated for our consumption (off-duty consumption of course). The transport was further ordered to await the arrival of the transport "GG-Gaian.Hawk" who collected the ore cargo.
The second ship was "Tradeakkul". This Planetform transport was relieved of a large sum in credits and allowed to move about it's business. Putting some literal dents in their ego would have been preferable, but who knows, perhaps they will think about the destruction wrought by their company and seek employment elsewhere as a result of our intervention last night. Most likely they will not.
A third ship of interest was spotted by GG-Gaian.Hawk during the journey to collect the Ageira ore, however we were unable to catch them before they moved well out of scanner range.
Our patrol ended at approximately 2140hrs, all ships returned to base without major incident.

Trade Squadron Members: GG-Sunset, GG-Aristida
Having received news that the Hogosha-run casinos on Planet New Tokyo were running short on supplies of Bretonian gin, a trade mission was arranged to meet this demand. I RV'ed with Lily, captain of the ship "Sunset" at approximately 2004hrs at Holman Outpost, Tau 31. Both transports were pre-loaded with gin, so the mission to New Tokyo commenced immediately. The journey to New Tokyo was quick and without incident, the gin was successfully unloaded and sold to the Hogosha representative on the planet surface.
We then set co-ordinates for Kagoshima Depot in the Kyushu System. Upon arrival at Kagoshima we purchased supplies of rice from our allies for the supply of Planet Crete. Again, the journey was without incident, although there is always the worry that GMG ships may interfere. Upon arrival at Crete we were stopped and questioned about our business by two Corsair Brotherhood pilots, Ambi Moya, and a Captain Gonzalez of the gunboat "Aragon". They seemed pleased to see us delivering vital food supplies, and offered to escort us towards Bretonia with a cargo of artifacts.
Arrival in the Cambridge System from the Omegas
Again this leg of the journey was completed without incident, the Brotherhood pilots kindly providing us with an escort all the way back to the Manchester system. We arrived back at Holmfirth at approximately 2100hrs.
Note to receiving officer: The Brotherhood pilots did mention a missing family member "Caelius Moya", nephew of Ambi Moya. He has been working with former members of the Nature's Last Hope group, and may still be somewhere in Bretonia. Assistance in locating their missing pilot will undoubtedly earn the Guard some goodwill within the Brotherhood's ranks.
Report over.

Hello.
After mister Clarke's yesterday's... unfortunate attempt at hitting the lanes in Manchester Robin and I took two transport ships, Aristida and Caterpillar respectively, for a cargo run. Our first cargo were light arms, which were delivered to Kabukicho after a calm and uneventfull flight through the Taus. The self proclaimed imperial blockade seems to not be the case yet as both gates were devoid of any activity whatsoever. As a side note, I think we should investigate why exactly do Imperials consirder us as an unwelcome party within Kusari.
In any case, after unloading the light arms we've picked up a load of rice. Yet again, the flight was uneventful and we arrived at Crete without any trouble. After dropping off the rice we took our final load, which was a few thousand units of artifacts. They were delivered to Holmfirth without any disturbance. Proof of deliveries is attached to the report.
Victoria said I should report my most important activities so here I am. I have run a few unimportant missions with Maldon but nothing out of the ordinary. Transports paid their green tax. ☮
So some months ago we busted a couple of LNS capitals who thought it was their duty to police southern Bretonia. I lured them into the cloud where my friends waited and literally slaughtered them. ☮☮☮ In New London I encountered an official Ageira ship carrying Black Market Munitions. This rascal thought it's Liberty and he is thus above law. Like his colleagues did back in Texas Incident when they destroyed an entire system. He was uncooperative towards any question or request so I activated my EMPs and started firing. Too bad that an ion wave hit my ship, disorienting the system's diagnostics, he managed to get away. I already gave the data files to our more senior activists. ☮☮☮
Finally, I intercepted CR|CM-Flame.of.Hope heading back to Coronado. Another organization we deeply hate for their terraforming operations at Planet Yuma. The lad quickly realized that the Gaians had it long coming for him, so he started firing back. All I did then was to put some flames on Flame.of.Hope. Eventually it was destroyed, one less Colonialist moving terraforming gases to Yuma. ☮☮☮
Today's a damn good day for the Guard. As planned, Me on El Nino, Thorn on Revenge, Beckett on Gorilla and Marte on Neofelis hooked up near Gate and proceeded to the northern part of the Barrier Rim. From there we made a quick flight to Yuma's high orbit that almost went as planned. Only thing that was messed up was, heh, everything. We've stumbled upon a Crayterian patrol wing: three Nyxes and one Hydra. Sufficient to say that they weren't too keen on letting us through.
Hell broke loose on their insistance. At first we charged their Hydra, the CR|-FV-Hysminai|666. Nino's punch with Revenge's aid was well above what that junk could take. It went down in flames quickly. From them on I've left clearing out their fighters to Mildra and Beckett, and proceeded to scan the planet in search of any suitable targets. The first Crayterian Nyx to go down was CR|-Arch.Duke. Mildra nailed him with a nuke. Further into the fight Beckett's Centurion's power went out for a moment, good thing he get away from the battlefield. It was quite a mine rain out there, I have to admit. Neofelis soon reported a total loss of weaponry, heh. She managed to get away, though. Next loss was on our side, sadly. Thorn's Roc finally gave way to those TEWs and fell apart. Good thing we had a spare room on Nino.
Then it was a trully epic scene with Beckett and two Nyxes making out on the edge of the field. I don't like such bullying though, so I made sure one of the creayterian birdies, CR|-Hawk, was neutralised. He soon for some reason had his ship disabled and drifted... Somewhere. Hell if I know. In any case, the last bandit, CR|-IS-Sentry, soon followed his buddies and went down in flames under Gorilla's fire.
I, in the meanwhile, located a few remote outposts and relayed their location to Beckett once he was done. He managed to take out a total of 4 minor installations. I dare to say that was quite a feat given he was on his own. A more detailed report about the damage will most likely be up in the news soon enough.
After that, we hooked up on Yuma's orbit and proceeded to get the hell out of there. We suffered no losses in manpower. Status of Crayterian pilots is unknown.
Greetings,
Islay Base reported several BAF contacts in the Edinburgh system, I and Scorpion decided to patrol the Edinburgh system and try to locate the BAF contacts. After a short time we managed to find this BAF pilots and waited for a GRN support pilot named Alice Marie. We decided to instantly engage the hostile forces and to show no mercy. We managed to destroy their whole fighter wing but unfortunately we lost a GRN supporter on our side. After the fight was over the BAF capital ships left the system and we returned to the Islay Base.

[25.05.2016 21:33:43] GG-Scorpion: Ha.
[25.05.2016 21:33:49] GG-Scorpion: Of course it's scenic.
[25.05.2016 21:33:52] GRN|Alice:Marie: It's even more scenic with less Bretonians.
[25.05.2016 21:34:07] 410th|Master'L: Greetings.
[25.05.2016 21:34:09] BAF|Ens.William.Sutton: That... that is a bold lie, Royalist.

[25.05.2016 21:36:08] GG-Scorpion: First of all, -who- is he.
[25.05.2016 21:36:14] GRN|Alice:Marie: Than you should not have signed up for the Armed forces in the first place.

[25.05.2016 21:36:51] 410th|Master'L: Why should I tell you?
[25.05.2016 21:37:03] GG-Scorpion: Because you lad happen to be our guest.
[25.05.2016 21:37:04] GG-Pete.Horowitz: Well... you should... until you want to die.

[25.05.2016 21:37:41] 410th|Master'L: Well, I'm just here for giving backup if the Royal Navy needs my help.
[25.05.2016 21:37:43] GG-Scorpion: Feel free.
[25.05.2016 21:37:59] GG-Pete.Horowitz: Alright Mr Sutton... it's time to die!
[25.05.2016 21:38:02] BAF|HMS-Thunderer: Radio Operator: Freelancer, in case of any violence done to you by the Gauls and the Gaians, you may count on out support.
[25.05.2016 21:38:02] GG-Pete.Horowitz: Weapons hot!
[25.05.2016 21:38:09] GG-Scorpion: That ain't tellis us much about yourself, you know.
[25.05.2016 21:38:10] BAF|Ens.William.Sutton: *sigh* Very well...
[25.05.2016 21:38:23] BAF|HMS-Thunderer: RO: We are firing at any hostile ships in range.
[25.05.2016 21:38:34] GG-Scorpion: Fair enough.
[25.05.2016 21:38:42] GG-Pete.Horowitz: Oh
[25.05.2016 21:38:43] GG-Scorpion: Sutton, you're gonna have to handle two partners.
[25.05.2016 21:38:48] GG-Pete.Horowitz: You need one of this big ships?
[25.05.2016 21:39:13] 410th|Master'L: Tell me if you need backup, Gaians.
[25.05.2016 21:39:17] GG-Pete.Horowitz: Just join
[25.05.2016 21:39:21] GG-Scorpion: Nah.
[25.05.2016 21:39:23] GG-Scorpion: We're fine.
[25.05.2016 21:39:24] GG-Pete.Horowitz: They are already using their big ships
[25.05.2016 21:39:29] BAF|HMS-Avon: McIntire: Crew shoot the Freelancer if he moves in
[25.05.2016 21:39:43] 410th|Master'L: Allright, weapons hot. Engaging hostiles.

[25.05.2016 21:45:10] BAF|HMS-Avon: McIntire: Good shot [25.05.2016 21:45:57] Death: BAF|Ens.William.Sutton was put out of action by BAF|HMS-Thunderer (Missile/Torpedo).
[25.05.2016 21:46:10] BAF|Ens.William.Sutton: For the Tea-- *static*
[25.05.2016 21:46:12] GG-Scorpion: Ey, nice shot.
[25.05.2016 21:46:14] GG-Pete.Horowitz: Alright...

[25.05.2016 21:46:42] BAF|HMS-Avon: McIntire: I propose we move back after the loss of our fighterwing
[25.05.2016 21:46:45] GG-Pete.Horowitz: I thought the Admirals have a good aim... instead they are just killing they own pilots.
[25.05.2016 21:46:49] GG-Scorpion: Not gonna bother with these bircks.
