To Navy Command:
I recently conducted operations in the Liberty core sectors, and am filing my report as per my orders as Cadet of the Liberty Navy. The following transcript will detail my actions in full.
Transcript follows:
--[May 11]--
I began by setting up my Executioner, outfitting it per suggestion by Adm. Rohj Teerin. After a small bit of training, he bid me farewell and I began patrol of the New York trade lanes. Before long, I came across a
Lane Hacker by the name of '
Norman Bates', who immediately attempted to inject some type of virus into my navigation systems. Fortunately, my fighter's systems held solid, and I ordered him to surrender or face destruction. Unfortunately, I underestimated my target, and he was able to dispatch me after a short dogfight. I retreated in my escape pod to the nearest station and refit another Executioner.
--[May 12]--
I took off from Newark the following day to begin patrols around New York once again. Before long, I happened upon Secondary Fleet Core vessels LNS-Tallahassee, LNS-Vanguard, and Assault-3, as well as an assisting AI vessel, Unit-433,
engaging two destroyers, *Applejack* and s.Flint. Upon engagement,
s.Flint took on the Tallhassee, while *Applejack* fled from the scene. I joined the engagement and helped
destroy the vessel, but my vessel was damaged beyond repair as the destroyer was downed.
--[May 14]--
I undocked from Planet Manhattan, and was busy punching in nav coordinates into my computer when I noticed an AI cruiser marked hostile on my targeting HUD. When I scanned the vessel, it appeared to be an
AI cruiser that was running an IFF of '
Gallic Metal Service'. I inquired about the ships' origin and destination, representative faction, reason for being in house space, and ultimately informed it to leave Liberty space immediately due to violation of foreign warship laws. It began to run away, refusing all orders to halt. Adm. Teerin assisted me in attacking the vessel, but it proved too much and both of our vessels were destroyed.
Afterward, I undocked in another surplus Executioner and did some idle patrols of Manhattan, while conversing with a nearby Freelancer, Joshua Hunt. While conversing, a hostile Lane Hacker appeared on my scanner, and I moved on him ordering him to surrender. We engaged in a dogfight for a few minutes, but eventually my ship was offed once again.
--[May 16]--
While patrolling the New York sector once more, I joined up with LPI Captain Aryn and SWAT officer Valent, as well as LSF operative Arius. They were in the process of investigating a
USI vessel by the name of Uhuru, who was refusing to give information regarding the destination and origin of his
cargo. While the questioning happened, a
Rogue bomber by the name of
Fling came into scanner range, and our forces quickly dispatched him. Returning to questioning, the USI vessel eventually told us he was heading to Denver - we didn't believe him, naturally, because the commodity sells very poorly on Planet Denver - but nevertheless, allowed him to proceed there
under escort and return to his origin, which was apparently Planet Erie. After this, we formed up with the
LNS-Long.Range.Justice and began patrols of the Liberty area. We managed to destroy a
rogue destroyer, an
outcast gunboat, and
multiple xenos.
--[May 17]--
The next day, I took my normal route through Planet Manhattan when I came across a
hostile Hegemon miner. I determined that it was running with a Rheinland Military IFF but a
Freelancer ID. I questioned the vessel along with the LNS Santisima Trinidad, and after some questioning, determined that
his cargo was from Rheinland territory and ordered him to drop it and return to Rheinland space. He did so, with some fuss, and I formed up with LPI Captain Aryn. We visited Rochester base where we found a
Council bomber with a
Pirate ID, who, after being ordered to surrender, began to fire upon us. We attempted to destroy it, but after Rogue and Hacker support showed up, we were defeated.
Thus concludes my
8 hour service time report, in conjunction with my Cadet rank. Hopefully this is enough to satisfy the board of Admiralty of my service.
Signed,
Cadet Graham
