Today myself and Navyman Recruit Joe Mctyre received a transmission from an LSF Agent Jeffrey Keenan
requesting assistance against a pirate ID'd as "Cruiser". The subject was piloting a Armoured Transport armed with pirate weapons (later ID'd as Corsair weapons), I engaged him in the Pittsburgh Debris field and was soon assisted by Mctyre. Please note that throughout this fight a zoner ID'd as "The_Hammer_Man" persistently followed us and appeared to be supporting "Cruiser".
Eventually "Cruiser" was forced to flee as his obviously incompetent piloting skill was no match for the Navy, we shortly thereafter received reports that he was fleeing through Colorado (And low behold "The_Hammer_Man".
It is in my opinion that "Cruiser" should be attacked on site and "The_Hammer_Man" should be forced to leave Liberty and if he continues to support "Cruiser" then as he is clearly an ally of "Cruiser" he should share the same fate and be attacked on site.

I have just returned from my assignment to Kusari. My findings will be forwarded to the correct people. I have also acquired a Virage fighter at Director Copeland's suggestion, renewed freelancer identification, and a set of civilian weapons. Until further assignments are issued, I will be on standby. While my identification papers are that of a freelancer, my ship currently has an LSF IFF until I'm instructed to change that, so in an emergency I can be easily identified.
Agent Roberts, signing off.

Project MALACHITE, which I was investigating for the past year, appears to have been cancelled. The weapon they developed was only good for transports; it couldn't be readily scaled up for capital ships, nor could its power requirements be reduced enough for a fighter. The research I acquired indicates that it's based on the prototype weapon called JADE, I believe you're familiar with that by now. Unfortunately, recently the need to re-encrypt my logs has made itself apparent, so those logs will not be available until that is done.

During routine partol of the New York system, the ship Daestelos was scanned and found to be in possession of Counterfiet Software. After repeated requests to stop, the subject fled into the California system, persued by myself and LSF operative; =LSF=Shadows.Hand. Niether ships were fitted with cruise disruptors, so we were forced to persue across open space. The suspect was able to escape into the Magellan system. Due to the nature of his ship, and current information regarding prices for such contraband in Bretonia, It seems prudent to conclude that this suspect will return to Liberty in the near future to procure another shipment. I have filed the scanner evidence along with this report.
That is all.

Yesterday be a great day fer da great RUSTY DONUT! Despite 'er name, da Donut be a fighter. First, we got da call ta take out a Red Hessian Cruiser by da name o' Fredjik, who was easy meat fer us, though da durn camera man did na get da shot cuz o' a donut in da lens.
Next, we got a call about an
Osiris named |Lee| and dat Corsair lunchbox named Kaize Sooze. We durn
beat up dat Osiris, 'n
stole da lunchbox's money!
Next, we heard o' a Phantom Osiris in California! Da men were wettin' themselves, so we decided ta run to Bush, but da durn navigator locked in da wrong trade lane, so us and da formation of LPI went to West Point! Then, durn Quintus decided ta be a hero and go to the California jump gate, so we had to save him! There, we saw da fearsome
HELLBOUND.
But he was nah fearsome!
Da Rusty Donut beat 'im good, and chased him all around N'york, much to everyone's surprise! O' course, da foo ran into a debris field, so we could na follow, but da boys were brave so they kept on. Da durn Phantom stopped whilst the Donut was at a distance, and blew up all da li'l ones, den kept runnin' til he went to Colorado. However, we hurt 'im bad enough so dat he won't be causin' no trouble fer awhile!
Clements out!

Greetings, gentlemen of liberty. This message comes to you as an anonymous tip, for it is dangerous to reveal my identity to those who may have me killed.
There is a ship known as isis - a mammoth class liberty transport - which has been moving cardamine into liberty through the restricted space of several factions, most notably your alaska system, and subsequently zone-twenty-one.
Have your men be on the lookout for this one. The ship has been able to, surprisingly, escape capture by well armed forces in other areas several times now.
The pilot, who has not been identified as of yet, has used various methods of reputation manipulation and espionage in order to blend in and render himself undetected. He has impersonated officers of our own military before, and I would not put it past him to do the same while in liberty in order to avoid attention or capture.

Location : Prison Station Fairbanks, Medical Bay
To: LSF Headquaters
Subject: Keeper Activity in Zone 21
While on assignment in Zone 21 today, I came across a lone nomad ship traveling several clicks north of Prison Station Fairbanks. Upon closer examination, I realized it was a nomad ship I have never seen before... almost akin to a bomber. Upon engaging, the creature formed a telepathic link with me and bombarded me with images while engaging, no doubt in an attempt to throw me off. My Raven's Claw soon made short work of the nomad, and it displayed surprisingly human behavior, by attempting to delay me. I only realized the reasoning behind this, when another nomad bomber appeared on my radar. I managed to hook up with a Navy patrol while fighting (fighting some Order scum) who assisted me in destroying the original nomad ship, but I had sustained heavy damage and was forced to abandon ship from the bombardment of the second nomad. When I came to, I had been rescued by a Navy patrol and was in the medical bay in Prison Station Fairbanks.
Surprisingly, the link between us was diminished, but not completely gone. Contact was difficult at best (who could understand the workings of an alien mind?), but on one point the creature kept returning : "*** Gift... warmth.... DESECRATOR***". I attempted to continue contact with the creature to fully understand it - I believe that it wanted to gift me with some kind of weapon, most likely to corrupt me, so I naturally refused. Before any understanding was reached between us, the link was abruptly cut off (//server crash).
This incident has me worried... Recent nomad activity in Zone 21 has been on the rise, but this is something I have never encountered before. I submit my recommendation to increase LSF patrols in Zone 21. I have encountered nomads many times during my patrols in Zone 21, but I have never seen anything close to what I saw today. This could be a sign of worse things to come, and I'll be damned if I'll be letting any nomad scum breach Liberty Space on my watch.
Anxarcule out.
