Got a report to make. I got a call, 4 RM in texas. one of our cruisers as well as 2 of our recruits were fighting them. The cruiser fled after being damaged severly.
Soon after the 2 recruits went down. They were Elena Stanford and Andree Walker. Then it was me vs 4 Wraiths. Me, being the super motivated and ever so patriotic navy dude that I am fought em all by myself. They offered me to surrender, which I declined. I would -never- surrender. I'd rather die than surrender and derelict my duty.
Ho! crap, wrong one. This is the actual one. Never mind that first comms log, it's forged. I bet commodere Robinson is behind that to ruin my good name. This is the actual one:
I refused to surrender and fought 'em all. I shot 'em all down and proceeded to hang pro-liberty pamphlets on the planet Hamburg docking ring.
Now the RM will think twice about invading on my shift *hic*

Good evening Sahrs, ma'ams. I swear I'm goin' through the Executioner stock faster than anybody else. Was woken up when it's not even my damned shift, to be informed of a Rhienland attack in Texas, and given the keys to a new Exec, since the old one went ka-boom. I woke ma sorry ass up and went to duty, to find a HUGE rhienland fleet waitin' for me when I reached the destination.
Rachel Baker was commandin' and soon after I got there, the action started. One of the badder battles I've seen, there was no organization, and the secondary fleet cap'ns were goin' nuts. We lost the battle pretty bad, And I shoved my flamin' Exec up one Battleship's behind before ejectin'. Pretty proud of it.
Now then, two ships burned in one day, Ah'm not doin' pretty good.

Rachel appears on the screen, sitting on some kind of bed, her uniform's right shoulder visibly torn open, a bandage wrapped around her forehead and her face blackened by soot.
"Sirs...while this report brings no Gun Camera footage, it brings some dark news...Today, I used the Lady Liberty to respond to calls for assistance from Secondary Fleet vessels in the Texas system, reporting a Rheinland incursion into our territory, upon my arrival I took command of the situation...or at least, I thought I did. It was not long before I located the Rheinland battlegroup, a group consisting of at least eight ships, two of which were Battleships...Eventually I got the Secondary Fleet vessels to come to my location...which was good, I thought maybe we would stand a chance...boy was I ever wrong...."
Rachel paused for a moment, taking a sip of water that was in a glass passed to her by somebody off screen, setting it down she began to speak again.
"As soon as the shooting started, the command I assumed I had over the Secondary Fleet vessels completely deteriorated, the Dreadnoughts I had been depending on using to keep the...superior firepower, of the Rheinlanders at bay with...almost immediately retreated from the battle, leaving the rest of our small counter-force to be annihilated by the swarm of Rheinland vessels, thankfully Ensign Stanford showed up and managed to call for Reinforcements...even though those came too late, at least they were summoned..."
Rachel pauses again, shaking her head and adjusting the bandage which had started to fall over her eyes.
"I do not know what fate the rest of the crewmembers of my Gunboat face. I myself would not have made it alive had a Mercenary nearby not tractored in my pod. If we have no control over Secondary Fleet vessels in situations like this...I honestly fear for the fate of our Republic. Battleships retreating in the face of heavy firepower? on our own turf? had the Rheinlanders not eventually been stopped, we could have just lost Texas! This...this was unacceptable, I know there is not much we can do regarding insubordination but...I feel this must be said...we were defeated in battle today, due to the insubordination of Secondary Fleet commanders. We were not even able to hold out long enough for our reinforcements to arrive, and from what I hear, those forces were wiped out as well...furthermore, it seems as though it was the Hellfire Legion, of all people! who wound up driving the Rheinlanders out...is this the state of our military Reserves? of our military as a whole?...how can we defend the Republic when such events are allowed to occur?!"
Rachel cringes slightly, letting out a soft sigh.
"I'm sorry...I just don't know what else to say...this situation is an outrage, and a disgrace to the Republic, many sailors and Commanders died today..and we could've just lost a territory...I am, it is safe to say...outraged by this turn of events...but, they say I should rest now...so..."
Rachel salutes the monitor, obviously pained by lifting her arm in salute. The screen slowly fades to black.

Hood reporting in, officers.
At the end of this day I decided to patrol Willard station's surroundings, made a call to Lieutenant-Commander Rachel Baker and ensign Angelina Dimitrova, so we all hooked up at Willard and commenced our patrol sequence.
It was pretty quiet at first, we passed some waypoints already and found nothing unusual. Finishing up last waypoint we headed to Willard and took position of 1 click in the sphere. After some time my scanners picked up multiple contacts. As soon I realized, it was HC hacking group; they were attempting to steal valuable information from its data banks, yet unknown what exactly. Lieutenant-Commander Baker ordered to fire upon one vessel, pilot of which was allegedly hacking Willard's mainframe defenses. In the meanwhile of fight we still couldn't manage to scratch his hacking systems, however we got lucky shot in last seconds of attack. Data flow was interrupted, and they innocently turned back into their lair.
Attached snap(s): 1
Lieutenant Hood out.

Good evening Sahrs, ma'ams. I swear, We don' get paid enuff' for this in the navy. Undocked, met up with Ang (Angelina Dimitrova) and we began our duty. Found some....wierd creatures floatin' around outside Manhattan, felt some wierd image sorta things in ma head, had ta shrug it off.
Soon, we get called ta Norfolk on an emergency situation. Xeeners and someone I know from before, Victoria Lesley and a few of her pals. Xeeners soon got out, on ma urgin', I'm glad that was resolved. Then on our rounds, we bump into Lesley....again. She refused to git outta Liberty, so we had ta open fire. Ah certainly need more practice, but the Gold wing showed up, so maybe that'll work out. Got podded, and was picked up by one of the rookie patrols. Not much good fpr a primary fleet pilot, eh?
*Sighs and closes channel, guncams attached*
- The encounter with them bad guys.
- Them wierd guys(Radar blips near the bottom)

***INCOMING MESSAGE***
This is the LSF-Wreckerr Gunboat sending a formal request to High command. We need to do someting about the Merc situation in Liberty. They are attacking navy,and LSF ship's all over due to unlawful bounty's posted on our fleet. At this point we do not know who is hostile till we are being shot at,and it is hindering our ability to defend Liberty against true hostiles. They are even being bold enough to attack navy,and LSF ships right outside our bases, and planets. They usually attack lone ships with over welming numbers we have no chance to defend against. They are also joining our enemy the Rheinlanders"spits" to claim the bounty on our heads. I would advise open season on all Mercs in Liberty,or a Ban. The Mercs not shooting at us,refuse to assist us against other Mercs so i see no reason for Liberty High command to allow them to be there unless they are escorting civilian craft.
