I've been searching through my comm system, and the encryption codes for the secure comm network aren't in it. I need someone to re-transmit them to my Neural Net ASAP.

Today, I encountered the personal fighter of Vice Admiral Delphinius in the process of registration. The Vice Admiral ordered me to continue patrolling or train, and I chose to meet and assist a LSF agent in California. The agent invited me into a classified comm channel, where we discussed the activities of the notorious terrorist leader piloting the Atalawohisdi, who had been obstructing trade operations in New York.
Being aware of my lack of jurisdiction within Northern space, I waited at the New York jumpgate for 10 minutes. Midway through, an ally who was an employee of an unidentified security form appeared and my scanners showed him as the flier of a Nepthys fighter. I questioned him to this, and he promised to get a proper ship, aiming for a BDR-854 Avenger. I informed him of the permissions required, but reassured him his superiors should have no trouble acquiring a proper license for the ship.
Eventually, the LSF agent, the other allied ship and the pirate arrived. We fought the pirate for several minutes at the gate and he continued to complain he was being unfairly and aggressively attacked. I tried to explain to him several times his legal predicament but he continued to complain and eventually fled. We chased him throughout the system, at several points disrupting trade lanes to prevent his escape and ultimately ending the chase at the Ontario jump hole, under suggestion of Agent Fluid. The area there is ambigious in jurisdiction, and I am unsure of his current status.
The terrorist leader then spoke over private comms to me, stating that I was a coward hiding behind numbers and that he had not been a coward in running from justice. I then returned to Virginia and signed off at the LNS Petersburg.

Today, the complete cowardice of the Hellfire Legion was witnessed by myself.
In response to a large HF presence in the California system, the forces of Liberty mobilised to clean them out. Comprised almost entirely of fighters or bombers, our fleet moved to intercept them. However, it seemed that they didnt want to fight, instead cowering on Alcatraz base.
I was contacted by one of their pilots, Seth, on private comms, who said, and I quote:
"We'll fight when we're not spammed by numbers"
After a lengthy time running that by a few of the local linguistic officers, I found that this was an admission that the HF were outclassed and didn't want to lose.
I only wish I understood that heavy dialect of English sooner, then I would have kindly reminded him that their whole fleet is made up of gunships.
But then again, I am content to rest with my officers on the wreaths of victory. They knew they were beaten, and they knew that even "spamming" gunboats couldn't save them. So they chose to run and hide like cowards in the night.

-Earlier today, before the events Admiral Robinson described, we found some hackers in the California system. After some searching we eventually found thier hideout and prepared to engage them.
-They had one gunboat and a single fighter, we had a gunboat, two bombers and two fighters. After a few minutes of dogfighting they had destroyed out gunboat and one of our bombers. They then went on to destroy a fighter and then the other bomber. In the end we were all destroyed and we hadn't even scratched thier shields.
-The gunboat issue is increasingly bad within Liberty. Pirates can hold up a couple of trader then buy a ship strong enough to defeat a small security force fleet. We are in desperate need of heavier ships - cruiser, battlecruisers, destroyers, dreadnaughts, battleships and gunboats.

All pilots who currently fly the colours of the SA are to hereby train at all possible times, this means times of rest, times of break, times of inactivity. In groups of four two are to train while two are to maintain watch and alternate. In pairs of two five to ten minutes sparing sessions are to kept until a break is taken to scan all long range sensors. In addition you may approach any LSF member you wish to train with, be aware though that they are not obligated to train with you.

Subject: After action report
Earlier yesterday a combined force consisting of an LSF cruiser and fighter, as well as my personal flagship captured a smuggler by the name of Carlos Benitez. After transferring his capsule to my hold, I delivered him to the prisoner holding facility on Manhattan.
A few hours later, we got a tip that an escape was being planned, so a small force consisting of SA and LSF fighters and gunboats was called together to guard the Prison Transport on the way to LPI Sugarland.
Long range scans quickly detected a huge unfriendly force moving around the Texas system so a direct route was obviously impossible. Considering the options, I split the fleet and took direct command of the transport. The main force moved through the Texas jump gate in the most obvious route to distract the enemy gathering, while myself, along with a gunboat and fighter snuck through the California system. The diversion was successful, and Benitez arrived at the Sugarland station without incident. Soon after, the enraged pirates started bombarding the LPI causing severe damage to several decks. It was decided that the prisoner had to be moved to a more secure facility under the planetary shields of Houston. Although the transport took heavy fire, it survived and delivered our guest to Houston safely.
Sadly, in spite of all our effort, Benitez was rescued by a small force of Corsairs soon afterward. The information we received from him is still being processed, but should prove useful in the future.
Well done to all involved, your bonuses are in the system.

Yesterday, i was asked to provide security at planet denver for a trader convoy that had suffered losses while going through a Jumphole in formation. I secured Denver and awaited them. It all went off without a hitch. I escorted the convoy to Illinois and left them to go on their way.
I would also like to report that one of the chattanooga's missile launchers misfired and hit one of the traders. The trader thankfully suffered no damage. But the Chattanooga still needs thorough testing to work out all the bugs in her system as she was just commissioned a day ago.

Message to SA and LSF forces
Greetings all, After the fight in gamma my ship was destroyed.. My escape pod floated through the asteroid fields for days. A bounty hunter task force picked me up and im now resting in the hospital on planet manhattan Because i had no food or water. Also James Tainer i dont recall giving you authorization to purchase a gunboat. What makes you think and others that you can do what you wish on free will? Just because i was gone does not mean you are free to do what you wish.
