Greetings sirs,
This will be a compilation report of flight operations for the last two days.
Day 1 (19.05):
I began operations in the New York system. Detecting some unknowns in Virginia, I moved through Texas and into Virginia via the Gate to investigate. I found only a secondary pilot at my arrival, and made for California Jump Hole. I ran across the USI vessel Boston, and escorted it through to meet a USI contractor. While on station keeping an eye on the situation I noticed intel reports indicating that an
HMS-Freedom and affiliates were operating in Colorado. I hailed the vessel, assuming it to be a Bretonian vessel, and asked for clarification. Logs given below.

[19.05.2012 00:39:30] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: I repeat, declare yourself and your purpose in Liberty space.
[19.05.2012 00:40:04] HMS-Freedom: i was kind of busy!!!
[19.05.2012 00:40:07] Death: AF-1-Leopard committed suicide
[19.05.2012 00:40:23] HMS-Freedom: and i will tell you nothing!!!!!!!!!!!

[19.05.2012 00:40:45] HMS-Freedom: ask around,,,,,NAVY
[19.05.2012 00:41:22] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: If you're operating a Bretonian vessel, I need to know about it.
Receiving no further reply, I made for the Ontario Jump Hole, as several of their vessels were reported as being in
Ontario/Operating Group. Coming through I headed for the Colorado Jump Hole, on the way to which is where I ran across the following.

Outcast IFF
Outcast Vessel
Needless to say, I doubt the
HMS-Freedom or her group hailed from Bretonia. Not being able to do more, I moved back to New York via California and met up with Pilot Samuel Knight. Unfortunately I arrived just as a vessel was being pirated by a vessled tagged as
problem?. To complicate matters, it also appears to be operating a cloaking device. Knight and I attempted to interdict, but our firepower was insufficient to bring the target down before it re-enaged its device.
Comms:
Quote:[19.05.2012 01:05:54] problem?: So, Samuel, how much are you willing to pay for your life?
[19.05.2012 01:06:20] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: Great, sounds like a pirate.
[19.05.2012 01:06:39] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: Check the Colorado gate.
[19.05.2012 01:06:43] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: I'll check Cali.
[19.05.2012 01:06:56] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: Do not engage unless forced to.
[19.05.2012 01:06:57] [LN]-Samuel.Knight: I saw him at manhattan.
[19.05.2012 01:07:05] problem?: done talking?
[19.05.2012 01:07:11] [LN]-Samuel.Knight: Then he cloaked into a nomad like aura.
[19.05.2012 01:07:20] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: Great.
[19.05.2012 01:07:31] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: Headed to Manhattan.
[19.05.2012 01:07:39] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: You see "Samuel" anywhere?
[19.05.2012 01:07:46] [LN]-Samuel.Knight: Halp
[19.05.2012 01:07:50] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: En route.
[19.05.2012 01:07:53] Black-Eagle: you talk to me fool
[19.05.2012 01:08:37] Discovery Freelancer is a role-playing server. All attacks must be the result of some form of role play. Shouting "Engaging" or "Halt" is not sufficient.
[19.05.2012 01:08:47] [LN]-Samuel.Knight: A kursari transport.
[19.05.2012 01:08:54] [LN]-Samuel.Knight: Permission to engage?
[19.05.2012 01:09:13] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: If you can.
[19.05.2012 01:09:31] Traffic control alert: Black-Eagle has requested to dock
[19.05.2012 01:10:01] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: Engaging problem.
[19.05.2012 01:10:08] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: Target is hostile.
[19.05.2012 01:10:24] Traffic control alert: Star.Watch has requested to dock
[19.05.2012 01:11:38] [LN]-Samuel.Knight: Blast!
[19.05.2012 01:11:47] Death: Charlie.Durant was killed by an NPC
[19.05.2012 01:11:48] [LN]-Samuel.Knight: I recognize that cloak anywhere.
[19.05.2012 01:11:48] problem?: Sucks to be you kiddo
[19.05.2012 01:11:57] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: Says the man who runs.
[19.05.2012 01:12:06] problem?: I got what I wanted. Next time it'll be your neck, fool

We then proceeded through a standard patrol through Colorado, Ontario, and California, updating Mr. Knight's Neural Map as we did so. We heard mention of a trouble maker called
Cash.And.Carry, but found no solid evidence against him for anything or his presence anywhere causing problems. Our patrol ended without further incident.
Day 2 (20.05):
I ran several operations on this day.
The first was an attempt to interdict the vessel
LordKaiser in the Paradise. I was not able to halt him as he made off with
slaves, though I persued him to the Hamburg gate in Bering. I returned to Texas and came across several of the Bounty Hunter's Guild members, who were assigned by their Guild Master to persue the target. I am not aware of their success or failure in the matter.
Returning the Paradise to Norfolk, I launched my Guardian and began a patrol of California. There I can across an Outcast hauling
Cardamine and apparently operating a vessel equipped with a
cloaking device. I retrieved the Paradise, knowing I would need its firepower to take this vessel, but was unable to interdict before it left Liberty space, even though I persued all the way to Curacao. I returned to California and began an update of the Paradise's map of that system. I ran across several Liberty Rogues, but was outmanned and fell back. Having returned the Paradise back to Norfolk, I relaunched my Guardian and was able to contact several of the returning Bounty Hunters who joined me to take them down. We returned to California, and found several of the vessels operating in the Whitney Ice Field. There was also a vessel attempting to pirate along the route to California Minor from Mojave that we took care of shortly after this incident. It was almost target practice on that particular fighter.

I returned to New York and took some down time. Later that I day I joined Lt. Clark in supplying the ***REDACTED***. I am proud to say that the newly launched
[LN]-LLS-Sierra.Nevada performed well, though there were a few bugs in the system we had to work out. After completing that task, I made a run to supply our forces in New Hampshire. While on that run I received the following communications.
Comms:
Quote:[20.05.2012 06:01:36] =LSF=Mount.Moffit: Some signal from Mount Moffit: ... ne.d help... SOS... SOS... J.ohn ..... are life...

[20.05.2012 06:07:20] [LN]-LLS-Sierra.Nevada: Polstari: Blast. All right, make note of it. We'll see what Command has to say, if anything.
[20.05.2012 06:08:29] =LSF=Mount.Moffit: Signal: Life...(There/Here) Alr..dy.
[20.05.2012 06:08:58] [LN]-LLS-Sierra.Nevada: Communications: Sir, signal is back.

[20.05.2012 06:09:31] [LN]-LLS-Sierra.Nevada: Communications: Aye, patching through now.

[20.05.2012 06:10:52] =LSF=Mount.Moffit: Signal: Life...
[20.05.2012 06:11:27] [LN]-LLS-Sierra.Nevada: Polstari: Moffit, say again. I read "Life", over.
[20.05.2012 06:12:44] =LSF=Mount.Moffit: <Signal lost>
[20.05.2012 06:12:44] [LN]-LLS-Sierra.Nevada: Polstari: Commander of the Mount Moffit, whom am I addressing and on what subject, over.
[20.05.2012 06:13:16] [LN]-LLS-Sierra.Nevada: Communications: Signal lost again, sir.
[20.05.2012 06:13:56] [LN]-LLS-Sierra.Nevada: Polstari: Copy, keep an ear open. See if you can trace the signal source as well.
[20.05.2012 06:14:27] [LN]-LLS-Sierra.Nevada: Communications: Copy sir, I'm on it.
My comm officer later traced the signal back to Omicron Kappa. I'm not sure what to make of this incident sir, except recommend that it be forwarded along to the Liberty Security Forces for further analyis.
This concludes my report.
Ensign Polstari, signing off.
