Destruction of 'Executioner' Heavy Fighter by Outcast Forces
Received news of a highly successful attack on Outcast Forces (Details Enclosed)
Transferred to Fort Severn for advanced training
Fleet Admiral David Hale 'Became a man.' (Yes Sir, we know. The C.O put it over the Intercom)
My apologies for the late report, there was a communications.... issue. Suffice to say it's the last time Recruit Tungster will be laying hands on my Executioner.
The Pirates seem to be stepping up their act. After discovering that logistics outfitted me with a shield barely capable of deflecting a spit ball, I was called into Virginia for a refit. En-route; however, I bumped into this fellow. An Outcast by the name of 'Luis Flores.' Seemed to have something against Liberty, judging by the way he shot at us. *The Recruit rolls his eyes*. I demanded that he surrender our pilots into my custody, unsurprisingly he didn't feel the need to co-operate. It was around then that my equipment issues came back to haunt me. The Executioner was a write-off.
Engaging 'Luis'
Communications Log Prior to Attempted Apprehension
Still, a nearby gunboat was kind enough to tractor me in. No chance of upgrading the escape pods? They're blooming cramped, I had my knees wrapped around my neck just to fit in the thing. Anyway, I made it to Virginia and was issued a proper Executioner. She's certainly a step-up from the mess I was flying before, top of the line.
After a brief stop over in Texas (The Captain of the LNS-Douglas was most accommodating), I headed back to New York, having heard reports of an unusual signal.
It was certainly unusual, Sir. I encountered a... hell... I'm still not sure what he was. A pilot in a Sabre. Claimed to be following a distress signal. Local Law Enforcement didn't detect anything. He was a former Phantom, ex-Order. Judging from his armament he was telling the truth. Ship was a Sabre by the name of Atra Lupus. I don't know what he did to my ship, but I've lost most of the records. Seemed to be some sort of controlled Virus. Regardless, I've attached what little was saved by the encryptions.

Little else to report, I've finished basic Training at West Point, and been reassigned to Fort Severn for some real flying. I was hailed by a Liberty Gunboat Assault Squad (BongHit-Assault 3, LNS - Assault1 and the LNS-Logos-Assault 10) coming from the Whitney Ice Field as I headed out to my new posting. They reported the destruction of an Outcast fleet, consisting of three gunboats and a Destroyer, in the field. My commendation (For what little it's worth) goes to the crews of those vessels. Most impressive flying.
I'd better go check up on maintenance. Can't have them working unsupervised...
Ripper Out.
