Message from Commodore Mark Stevenson
Security Code: ****-7AK-***9*

Admirals,

I am glad to report that the newly commissioned Liberty Dreadnought LNS-Montpelier is fully operational and her crew have already been pushed to their limits in a large pirate skirmish near Norfolk Shipyard.

Yesterday we launched for some routine war scenarios and various weapons and shields testing. Commander Haley Kiley was listening to comms chatter within New York and noticed some peculiar signals. Apparently, quite a large pirate force was simply drifting around New York. Knowing they could be a serious threat to the security of our ship, I moved the Montpelier back to Norfolk.

It wasn't long before the pirates had found our position and managed to block off every tradelane exiting Norfolk. I opted to wait for backup units, as there were eight hostile bombers - Chances of coming out unscathed were slim. After a tense couple of minutes, the pirates decided they would assault Norfolk and take the Montpelier down. However, my gunners had other plans...

All eight bombers closed in on us, but with the Missouri covering our rear flank, we managed to designate some viable targets. One after another they fell from the might of our weapons.





Eventually, a couple of friendly units arrived and dealt with the remaining bombers. Static interference was growing and I made the decision to moor the Montpelier before it became any worse.

We scored a great triumph for Liberty today.

Cdre. Mark Stevenson

~~~~~RE: My resignation~~~~~

Message Reads:

My doctor has informed me, and thus I feel it nessicary to inform the Navy, that if I wish to live I must leave my current lifestyle behind. And that unfortunately means I must resign from the Navy. It is a sad decision to make, but my doctor was quite clear on what would happen if I did not leave.
My new heart has been placed under too much stress now, and she says that only a quiet and peaceful lifestyle can save me.
I do not like the prospect of a boring end to an eventful life, but unfortunately if I remain in the Navy my heart will fail in a matter of months.

I am sorry to tell you this, but the decision preserves my life and will hopefully give me a happy ever after.

anyway, I have a small report to upload here.

yesterday I ran a patrol around New York. it was all quiet untill I bumped into a Hellfire goon near Manhattan. I ordered him to leave which, obviously, he refused to do.

I meant this:

he then started to smart talk me. trying to get me to join his cause. I talked to him for a while, in order to keep him away from the tradelane. then his buddy showed up. he was an even bigger arrogant sack of hay than his minion.

after a while the head honcho, a certain Trevelyan, ordered that Shia dude to attack me. so he did. we went into savage combat untill my ship started acting up. I had tons of ion readings in the engine and my targetting system went haywire. so I bugged out.

as I landed on Manhattan, a LSF ship was already on site. maybe he can report what happened after I made my emergency landing.

that is all.

Good morning, folks.

I would like you all to know that if you come across an outcast named Jose'.Marti, I'd appreciate it if you didn't blow him out of the sky and, if in Liberty, just ask him to leave the system politely. He saved my life the other day and he can be quite a nice person.

Thank you for your time.

He'll be treated like any other Outcast, Officer "Kaz".

If you're found to be conspiring with this Outcast, there will be consequences.

>Patrol Report.

Whilst on patrol yesterday, several pirates made a move on Fort Bush. Myself and several other officers went to defend. We were vastly outnumbered, however we had a cruiser captain with precise aim, who managed to eliminate two hostile bombers and the gunboat before I ordered it to stand down.

The battle then moved away from Fort Bush and it looked as if we were assured victory. However, another Rogue gunboat came along and decided to engage our gunboat. Myself, a KoF bomber and a well-trained BHG gunboat were all that remained on our side. As we whittled their gunboat down to a mere husk, suddenly it got supplied with a full load of bots/batts. I noticed immediately that the mysterious AI cruiser, EXJ-03069, was down on precisely the amount of bots/batts the gunboat required. I immediately ordered the cruiser to leave at once. It refused that order, however I didn't have the forces to eliminate it. The skirmish went downhill from there - With all friendly forces being eliminated.

>EXJ-03069.

As a continuation of the previous matter, I am hereby ordering a warrant of arrest for the artificial intelligence cruiser EXJ-030699 due to the following breeches of the Liberty law statute:
Part 5, Section A, Paragraph 1

Quote:Kidnapping; Defined as the unlawful holding of an individual or individuals against their will by another individual or group of individuals, most commonly applied to the holding of lawful pilots in cargo holds.

Part 5, Section A, Paragraph 3

Quote:Piracy; Defined as the unlawful coercion of the owner or owners of a vehicle or vehicles to render their resources towards the offender. Most commonly applied to vessels attempting to impose taxation upon traders.

Part 5, Section A, Paragraph 4

Quote:Assault, Attempted murder and/or Murder; Defined as the unlawful attacking of one individual or individuals by another individual or individuals with intent to Unsuccessfully/successfully damage or terminate said person or persons. Most commonly applied to one vessel attacking another with intend to cause harm.

I am pressing charges against the AI unit for playing an assistant role in the above crimes.

Basic Statute

Quote:Officers of the Law; Any other pilot/entity in space is to follow any reasonable order by a LPI, LN or LSF officer and do so when and where the officer has asked for the task to be carried out. This stature is null in the case of other LPI, LN or LSF officers currently employed by the House of Liberty (Chain of command supersedes this).

The full charge of disobeying a LN officer's reasonable order can be pressed against the cruiser.

I ask any officer to arrest this entity on sight. Make sure the charges are known to it and the consequences of not complying this time...

Lt. Commander Jack Malrone
