Bs Petersburg.
It was a sad day for Mctyre.
Joe just returned from the memorial too remember a fallen squadronmate.
He wasn't fallen with all honor but silently and unnoticed.
But his squadron mates didnt forget him and the flew a pass over each of the five Battleships in liberty space they left one open space in there formation too show there respect.
Then there was a ceremony on Westpoint.
When joe arrived at the C&C on the Bs Petersburg in Virginia later the day, he was halted by Lt Parker the communications officer.
*sir you should look at this sir theis is send too us by a civilian*
He hands over a PDA.
Commander Mctyre looked at the message flashing on the screen.

Mr Regal, the Liberty Navy does not take threats against the citizens of Liberty lightly. If the people you mentioned are illegally dealing in Nomad weapons within the jurisdiction of Liberty, they will be dealt with by the lawful forces. Civilian deaths serves no-ones interests. Do not take the law into your own hands, or charges will be laid.
Access to this channel is heavily restricted, if you access this channel again, you will be traced and you will be reprimanded into custody. Understand?

I have my patrol report about today incidents. A large group of pirates was placed close to the trade lane between West Point Academy and the California jump gate. The mentioned group as consisted on 3 rogue gunboats and 1 falcata bomber. I'm not sure of the size of our fleet at that moment, but we counted with at least a cruiser, a gunboat, 3 bombers. The battle started, and we took down two of their gunboats, but they got reinforcements, 1 more bomber and a couple more of gunboats. A battlecruiser came to assist us. My bomber was destroyed, and the LNS-Valkyrie picked me up. All the gunboats were destroyed, and the last bomber was taken by Commander Hastings.

My report is as follows:
I began my shift in New York and was headed to some training until I stumbled upon Remiel, a Xeno in an Eagle class fighter. I soon found myself being fired upon and was forced to engage. We jousted for half a minute until LSF Garmen arrived to assist. Remiel's tactics were rather ineffective against us as he continuously flew into his own mines, however we had to take care as well. A couple minutes into the fight, I believe Lt.Commander Darkmoor arrived to assist until Remiel finally ran into his own mine and his ship exploded.

After the fight and training, I assisted several LPI in taking down a Hacker in a Sabre by the name of Bloodlike. He already destroyed other LPI vessels and so LPI Fredro Guajardo and I were the only ones available. His missiles were crippling to my ship and I soon found myself in some trouble. A Liberty Navy gunboat by the name of The_Patriot arrived on scene during the fight. I asked him to leave, however to no avail as he continuously destroyed the fighters pouring out of the Rogue Destroyer and the debris was wrecking havoc to my ship. I was taken down by a mine dropped by Bloodlike and was transported back to Manhattan.
A day after the fighting, I commanded the Lansing into a fight against the [Wolves]. This is her first real engagement and so it was 2 gunboats against a destroyer and another gunboat for support. The LNS Stronghold was already under fire when I arrived and we soon opened fire on the Rogue vessels. The destroyer [Wolves]Waylander, was already near destruction and fell quickly under our guns. The gunboat was also quickly destroyed when Lt.Commander Darkmoor arrived in his bomber. Liberty Police Rogue_Cop also assisted in taking down the gunboat at the end. The Stronghold was severely damaged and is undergoing repairs however she and Captain Young held up well against the destroyer and gunboat. The Lansing has received no damage as of this engagement.

Due to the recent re-opening of the recruitment department, new officers have proven themselves worthy of serving in the Liberty Navy force. Thus, for actively, dutifully and respectfully acting in service, I'm hereby promoting the officers as followed:
Kyle Whisperdale is being promoted from Navy Recruit to Ensign.
Marcus Quintaine is being promoted from Ensign to Sub-Lieutenant.
Antonio Backus is being promoted from Sub-Lieutenant to Lieutenant.
To those that have missed this round of promotions, you will have to work harder, in order to be granted higher clearance and responsabilities.
That is all.

Thank you sir for giving me the chance to prove myself even more. I hope I can keep up with expectations.
Yesterday we found a nomad scout in Liberty space, New York of all places! We immediately engaged to terminate the filthy alien but his craft was too agile for an easy kill. Sadly, partway into the battle I had a malfunction with my inertial compensator and was forced to return to the Missouri. We need to keep an eye out. That scout may not be the only one floating around or it might even be the precursor to something larger.

My day report as of today, however first I would like to extend my congratulations to Ensign Whisperdale, Sub.Lt.Quintaine, and Lieutenant Backus for their promotions.
I saw limited action today as there weren't many pirates out while on my shift.
I began my shift on the Lansing as now Lieutenant Backus and LSF Infinity sent a distress signal from ******. They reported a Corsair Praetorian cruiser under the command of Order officers. I rushed over to the gate as quick as I can, however Lieutenant Backus was shot down and recovered by the LSF agent. As soon as I jumped in-system, I was quickly under attack. The Praetorian's weapons were vastly superior to the Lansing's, however her hull held and we stayed behind the ship to eventually take him down with the help of LSF Infinity.

After the debacle in ******, Cargo-Carrier, a repeated offender in trespassing and smuggling, was found near the mines as he was desperately trying to flee. He did not succeed and destroyed himself by flying into the mines.

The Lansing is at Norfolk for minor repairs and will be back to service in a couple hours.

Anthony "Aces" Ryans has been found in Liberty while he was taking photos of stations and some pilots.
I`ve scanned his ship and I found a camera, he refused to eject it and I opened fire but he managed to take a tradelane and he escaped.
A Liberty Navy pilot Marcus Quintaine fought him at Norfolk Shipyard.
My ship got some engine problems due to some electromagnetic storm and I had to return to the nearest base. (//I had lag and lost connection)
Anthony "Aces"Ryans is flying a Rheinland Bomber and he took photographs of many stations from Liberty Space. He has been discovered, he is a spy.
To all Liberty Armed Forces, pilot Anthony "Aces" Ryans is banned from Liberty for spying.
His ship is to be destroyed if he will be found again in Liberty Space

Navy officer Alexander Casero reporting from patrol. A rogue gunboat was flying at 10/12k from Manhattan, from my distance it seemed to be doing nothing, I was dealing with some smaller ships at that moment, luckyly the Sub-Lieutenants Jack Malrone came to assist me, when we aproached to the gunboat, and within the scan range, we found that gunboat was full of several hostages (Cruiser commanders, gunboat captains, navy pilots and civilians). The gunboat called Phosphate, demanded negotiate with me, due to he had 26 civilians in his vessel, we agreeded to comply for the moment, until the official negotiator comes (sadly he never came). I asked him what was he looking for, we heard a gunshot from the radio, after that he started to laugh very loud, apparently they killed on gunboat captain... I'm sorry for this lost... he cutted the laughs and said "I need to get to the Rogue Destroyer, I want a clear path, and I don't want you following me!".
I claimed for the civilians, I said we were willing to let him go, if he'd release the civilians. He refused, and turned on his cruise engines, and the battle began. with a lot of support the vessel was defeated, but during the combat we hit on its cargo bay, and all the hostages went to space. I managed to track in some of them, first the civilians which I almost get all of them, but our Officers, captains and commanders... most of them are dead and those whom are not, won't be never flying again. I did my best to get to a nearby medical center, but after all we have 13 civilians casualties. We are sorry for this lost, and we offer our psychiatric facilities to anyone who needs it.
