Firstly Ensign Evyn, I compliment you on your diligence.

Secondly, there is no Captain Raven on the Regular Force roster.

I can only assume that this man is a reserve force pilot with errors on his papers.

Any pilot that is in contact with this officer should politely request that he revise this error, before I have to fill out forms in triplicate to have it done so myself.

Regards, Fleet Admiral Ralston.

To : Bretonian Armed Forces Admiralty
Re : Privateers Rupert, Charles, and Lambton Brimble

The abovementioned Privateers are under the mistaken impression that their Letters of Marque permit them to rob neutral traders within Bretonia herself.

Having been caught in the act of doing so by the Armed Forces, they indicated a desire to continue privateering operations in New London.

This would be amusing if it were not so incredibly dense.

If these "gentlemen" are in fact seen again in Bretonia proper, conducting privateering operations on neutral or friendly traders or miners conducting themselves peacefully, then they are to be destroyed.

Upon this Order I place my Hand and Seal

Regards, Fleet Admiral Ralston.

[11.01.2011 19:10:01] Angela.Corino(Emissary): We might have something to talk about, Jones. But this needs a little more, shall I say... privacy.
[11.01.2011 19:10:23] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: something to talk about?
[11.01.2011 19:10:28] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: what, precisely?
[11.01.2011 19:11:29] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Yes... No doubt IAB have been making up a dossier on me for quite a while.
[11.01.2011 19:12:04] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: Judging by your "escorts", I can see why they would
[11.01.2011 19:12:40] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Too much noise around. Perhaps we should... take a distance further.
[11.01.2011 19:13:02] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Pick location. I can guarantee my companions will do no harm to you.
[11.01.2011 19:13:09] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: Sorry, but I'm not about to break away from the group
[11.01.2011 19:13:28] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Your group may come.
[11.01.2011 19:13:34] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Except BMM.
[11.01.2011 19:14:48] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: I'm not about to split the group in any way
[11.01.2011 19:15:03] Keepers.Gerra: ***{A faint signal appears, it starts to move towards 5 kilometars, 4 kilometars}***
[11.01.2011 19:15:25] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: I've seen those things in combat, and I'm not even sure if we've got the forces to take them on even with the BMM
[11.01.2011 19:15:37] Angela.Corino(Emissary): There'll be no bloodshed.
[11.01.2011 19:15:45] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Not this time. And no harm.
[11.01.2011 19:16:15] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: I have no reason to trust you
[11.01.2011 19:16:48] Angela.Corino(Emissary): I know you don't. But I'm here to talk.
[11.01.2011 19:16:54] Angela.Corino(Emissary): And only to talk.
[11.01.2011 19:17:15] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: And what could you say that would be of interest to the BAF?
[11.01.2011 19:17:37] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Perhaps... if you are concerned with my "escort" we can simply meet elsewhere without them.
[11.01.2011 19:18:28] Angela.Corino(Emissary): They are merely a protection. You know how dangerous this place can turn to in a matter of few moments.
[11.01.2011 19:20:18] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Since trust is complicated in this matter you can decide it.
[11.01.2011 19:20:44] Angela.Corino(Emissary): As a gesture, knowing the risks implied.
[11.01.2011 19:20:50] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: 3k out from the IMG battleship hood sound reasonable?
[11.01.2011 19:21:17] Angela.Corino(Emissary): I would like to avoid traffic coming in and out.
[11.01.2011 19:21:49] 2011-01-11 19:21:54 SMT
[11.01.2011 19:21:57] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: Agent, the outcast will split off from the nomads for a short time. I will be going with her
[11.01.2011 19:22:08] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: Have the forces keep close watch on the nomads
[11.01.2011 19:22:30] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: if they move, or do anything suspicious, destroy them
[11.01.2011 19:23:00] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: If I don't return within 15 minutes, contact me
[11.01.2011 19:23:03] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Lead on.
[11.01.2011 19:23:14] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: if I don't respond, head to my comms beacon
[11.01.2011 19:23:59] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: Agent Timberwolf is in command in my absence
[11.01.2011 19:24:47] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: we're here. What did you need to talk about?
[11.01.2011 19:25:16] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Before that... do you have an idea who I am?
[11.01.2011 19:25:37] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: the IAB are very secretive about their records
[11.01.2011 19:25:50] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: I have a few theories of my own
[11.01.2011 19:26:40] Angela.Corino(Emissary): To clean up possible misunderstandings and rumors there might be I'm a human just like you.
[11.01.2011 19:27:18] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: I'd hardly say that you're "just like me"
[11.01.2011 19:27:32] Angela.Corino(Emissary): In a biological sense.
[11.01.2011 19:28:50] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: Perhaps, if you don't count the genetic mutation from Cardamine
[11.01.2011 19:28:58] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: so, shall we get to the point?
[11.01.2011 19:29:15] Angela.Corino(Emissary): True enough. Man of a few words are you? You want to get it straight to the point?
[11.01.2011 19:29:48] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: Indeed. IAB agents are known for their ruthlessness, and I don't want any unnecessary losses
[11.01.2011 19:30:13] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Understandable. The situation just occured must have surprised you greately.
[11.01.2011 19:30:50] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: I'm used to nomads trying to attack me or mess with my mind
[11.01.2011 19:31:01] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: so this is more unexpected than surprising
[11.01.2011 19:31:59] Angela.Corino(Emissary): *smiles* At least so. I am... shall we say, a messenger.
[11.01.2011 19:32:54] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Communication between my associates, that you erroneously call "nomads", and humans is complicated.
[11.01.2011 19:33:10] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: I've seen that first hand
[11.01.2011 19:34:00] Angela.Corino(Emissary): It is unfortunate at times when misunderstandings break out.
[11.01.2011 19:35:22] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Bold as it may sound... madness it may seem... my associates would like to deliver a message.
[11.01.2011 19:36:06] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Considering difficulties of human interpretation of the telepathic communications it is only logical that a human does so.
[11.01.2011 19:36:25] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: It still requires a nomad to human transfer of information
[11.01.2011 19:36:39] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: how can you be sure that what the nomad "said" to you is correct?
[11.01.2011 19:36:50] Angela.Corino(Emissary): No it does not. I'm here talking to you. I am not infested and I am the one that delivers the message.
[11.01.2011 19:38:18] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Suggest we take a distance from the jumphole and routes.
[11.01.2011 19:39:09] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Just follow me.
[11.01.2011 19:39:11] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: the south-western edge of the smog cloud is probably far enough
[11.01.2011 19:40:12] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: As I was pointing out previously though, you would still have recieved information from a nomad
[11.01.2011 19:40:59] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: although admittedly someone able to apparently hire them as escorts shouldn't make too many mistakes in translation
[11.01.2011 19:41:37] Angela.Corino(Emissary): It takes a long time to understand and interpret telepathy right. For most it makes little sense.
[11.01.2011 19:41:44] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Like little shards of a broken mirror.
[11.01.2011 19:42:01] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Each one so small and seems doesn't make it up with any other.
[11.01.2011 19:42:29] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: reminds me of greek, in a way. Shattering the original sentence and sticking it back together in a different order and language
[11.01.2011 19:42:51] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Ah, didn't know you're a linguist too, Jones.
[11.01.2011 19:43:14] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: I went to a Bretonian middle school. I had greek beaten into me by the masters
[11.01.2011 19:43:32] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: and that sort of teaching stays with you
[11.01.2011 19:43:56] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Yes, I've read about it. Classic, "old ways" of teaching, not like the modern academies.
[11.01.2011 19:44:10] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: so, shall we skirt around the topic of my history and move on to the message you bring?
[11.01.2011 19:44:49] Angela.Corino(Emissary): My associates would like for me to speak on their behalf to you and your command.
[11.01.2011 19:45:19] Death: [Admin]JihadJoe was put out of action by [Admin]Kingvaillant (Gun).
[11.01.2011 19:45:36] Death: [Admin]Kingvaillant was killed by Schrödinger's cat.
[11.01.2011 19:45:45] Angela.Corino(Emissary): I understand it is hard to believe... and even harder to comprehend.
[11.01.2011 19:46:29] Angela.Corino(Emissary): With so many rumors, tales and lies spread around their voice is never heard.
[11.01.2011 19:47:52] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: Maybe, judging by Das Wilde, that's a good thing
[11.01.2011 19:48:13] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: the last time their voice was heard around Sirius nearly led the houses to utter collapse
[11.01.2011 19:48:43] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Times changes. And all that what was is no longer the same.
[11.01.2011 19:51:21] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: would you mind hurrying up with the message? It appears that your associates are a little unruly when you're not around
[11.01.2011 19:52:52] Angela.Corino(Emissary): I have just told you - I seek to speak with BAF command.
[11.01.2011 19:53:17] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Understanding the difficulty it would be on your terms.
[11.01.2011 19:53:17] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: Unfortunately, that will not happen
[11.01.2011 19:53:56] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: even without your escorts, a person with that much influence over something that dangerous isn't someone who I can allow
[11.01.2011 19:54:09] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: to have the chance to cut off the head of Bretonia, if you will
[11.01.2011 19:54:35] Angela.Corino(Emissary): I'm prepared for necessary sacrifices if that would require so.
[11.01.2011 19:54:42] Angela.Corino(Emissary): On your terms.
[11.01.2011 19:54:42] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: However, this meeting is being recorded and transmitted to BAF command
[11.01.2011 19:54:56] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Your place. Your rules.
[11.01.2011 19:55:04] Angela.Corino(Emissary): I am only a messenger.
[11.01.2011 19:55:49] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: In that case, my rules will be this.
[11.01.2011 19:57:05] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: the meeting will take place in space, 35k above the E5 sector of New London system
[11.01.2011 19:57:48] Angela.Corino(Emissary): as you wish
[11.01.2011 19:57:51] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: You will give the message you have to a fighter, either manned by myself or another admiral. This fighter will share a direct
[11.01.2011 19:58:01] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: link to BAF high command aboard the Harlow
[11.01.2011 19:58:48] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: I'm not completely certain of your human-ness, or lack of the mental domination abilities I've seen employed by nomads
[11.01.2011 19:59:21] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: so I feel that this is the safest way for you to give a message to our leaders without endangering them
[11.01.2011 19:59:22] Angela.Corino(Emissary): //suggest the emissary just arrives, since it's not like "a message", it's to be a dialogue
[11.01.2011 20:00:42] Angela.Corino(Emissary): you are free to do medical scanning
[11.01.2011 20:00:56] Angela.Corino(Emissary): you'll find that other than being an outast there is nothing else to me
[11.01.2011 20:01:20] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: Advanced medical scanning equipment isn't available on my ship. Takes up too much weight
[11.01.2011 20:01:30] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: I can just about tell that you're alive, and that's it
[11.01.2011 20:01:39] Angela.Corino(Emissary): you'll be able to perform that onboard Harlow
[11.01.2011 20:01:54] Angela.Corino(Emissary): it does have most advanced medical facilities, am I right?
[11.01.2011 20:02:09] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: and give you access to one of our battleships?
[11.01.2011 20:02:27] Angela.Corino(Emissary): put on a gun to my head if you will
[11.01.2011 20:02:45] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: This still doesn't solve the basic problem
[11.01.2011 20:03:07] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: If you're a liar, you would be entirely capable of stopping the person from pulling the trigger
[11.01.2011 20:03:48] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: and hence your supposed offer of safety to us only helps if you are telling the truth, which would mean no need for medical scanning
[11.01.2011 20:03:49] Angela.Corino(Emissary): I expect Harlow has security and force enough to hold an entire kusarian naval boarding.
[11.01.2011 20:06:20] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: I cannot allow the risk that the admirals may become infested
[11.01.2011 20:06:38] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Your scanners there can prove I am not infested.
[11.01.2011 20:07:04] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: However, a conversation should be completely doable through my idea
[11.01.2011 20:07:17] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: Agent, the Outcast has requested a meeting with the Admiralty
[11.01.2011 20:07:18] Angela.Corino(Emissary): The moment scanner would positively identify as infested I would be dead with a bullet in my head, we both know that.
[11.01.2011 20:07:57] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: Do you have any idea of how we can do so without endangering them?
[11.01.2011 20:08:15] IAB)Timberwolf.: My gut tells me it's an ambush.
[11.01.2011 20:08:26] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: I still cannot allow the risk, and the agent agrees
[11.01.2011 20:09:03] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: We will be quite able to hold a conversation through a proxy ship
[11.01.2011 20:09:20] Angela.Corino(Emissary): These are difficult times, risks are necessary, and risk I'm putting myself is much greater.
[11.01.2011 20:10:31] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: and how is one person's life greater than the lives of an entire house?
[11.01.2011 20:11:26] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Some structures are held by pillars you least expect them to be.
[11.01.2011 20:13:31] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: I've repeatedly offered a perfectly valid solution for your meeting with the Admiralty, would you mind giving me your reason for refusing?
[11.01.2011 20:13:34] 2011-01-11 20:13:40 SMT
[11.01.2011 20:14:51] Angela.Corino(Emissary): Trust. I shall consult with my associates.
[11.01.2011 20:15:30] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: and I will relay the logs of our meeting to the Admiralty
[11.01.2011 20:16:23] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: My meeting with the Emissary is finished
[11.01.2011 20:16:49] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: The logs will be transfered to the DIS under high encryption
[11.01.2011 20:18:56] BAF|Adm.Robert.Jones: I'll need some time to clear my head. Timberwolf, you're in command

Damn, I was hoping it would take longer to finish cleaning and uploading than that. Ah...Great...Message autostarted, didn't it. Well, you've got my report, it's up to you to decide how to deal with it. Also, we shot down Roger Claymore's transport and two allies, the False Miner, and a molly gunboat who attacked us. Now, I could do with a drink...Oh, before I forget, the ship was escorted by 4 nomads, who were non-hostile until the Emissary left, wherupon the Agent and other allied forces engaged and destroyed them.

For your interest,

we are now looking for a gaian leader, Sequoia Hart. Capturing her alive is mandatory. If you spot her ship do not act alone, warn your superior instead and join the interception wing. You are encouraged to collaborate with other Bretonian law enforcement departments. Remember : we need her unharmed, an intact copy of her navigation computer would also be interesting.

Good hunt to all.

Regards,

BEGINNING TRANSMISSION:

*A commotion can be heard in the background as Evyn sits at her desk, Feya in the background tossing papers over he desk*
Evyn: Sis!...Would you stop making that racket!...I'm trying to do our report!...
*Feya stands up, red in her face as she tries to search desperately*
Feya: I know!...I know!....I can't find that damned paper of....Wait!...Here it is!
*Feya jumps up holding a small piece of paper, a big smile on her face*
Feya: Found it! *Murroow!*
*Evyn facepaws as she returns her gaze back to the holo-recorder*

Evyn: This is Ensign Evyn, Bretonian Armed Forces Pilot Registration 224-AB-17 along with Ensign Feya...Reporting for the week of January 7th to January 14th, 819 AS....
Feya: How come you have to be first?...
Evyn: Because I out-rank you....
Feya: No you don't!...
*Evyn turns around and faces Feya, a stern look on her face*
Feya: Ohkay!...Ohkay!...Yeesh...

Evyn: The week was hectic due with the continuation of the bounty placed on multiple ships by The.False Miner...Ensign Feya almost became a victim of such when a rebel molly gunboat attempted to take her life near the Dublin Gate in New London...It failed as IAB and my superior officers assisted her, chasing the vessel back into Dublin...He therefore decided to send his sorry tail into the sun rather then be persecuted...Good riddance...
Feya: Later on after that, Falsi poo decided to make a visit into Dublin himself...However he bit off more then he could chew when cornered...The admiral then decided to let the miners of Dublin to his fate...His vessel was destroyed...
Evyn: In the following days we met a man my superiors knew quite well...Roger Claymore....Despite having two lackeys with him, He did not make off with his spoils...Instead...He met the combined guns of my templar...I will not allow him to corrupt pilots in a way he did...

Feya: I think you went easy on that guy sis...
Evyn: Continuing on with our report...We discovered a Kusari Luxury Liner in Cortez after we had recieved a report of piracy...Strange to think the Kusari would send Liners into Bretonia to do their dirty work...Never the less, with Commodore Blair, we took it out...

Feya: Didn't you go and train with him in Salisbury sis?..
Evyn: Yes I did...For about 45 minutes..
Feya: Wow he was that quick?...Could've taken his time with you...Hehe....
Evyn: You are the impossible....
Feya: I try...

Evyn: After a few training periods with the Commodore...I took the liberty of one last patrol in Dublin...Where I met that same Kusari Liner...However while I was trying to apprehend him...A [Cartel] pilot decided to stop me....I charged him for hindering Navy business and assisting a known pirate...Thanks to the assistance of BMM-Chotaminer, He didn't last long...

Feya: Lastly I would like to make and addition to this report...We faced another corsair raiding party earlier in the week...I would've had my first Corsair Gunboat kill..but some stupid drone got it at the last second...
Evyn: Sis...You know that wont really do much...
Feya: Hey!...I did my best!...Just...Wasn't good enough I guess....
Evyn: That's all for our report sirs....Ensign Evyn and Feya out...
Feya: Sis has a crush on the commodore!!...
Evyn: Why you little!!...

*Evyn pushes over the holo-recorder, tilting it on its side as it records Feya running out of the office, Evyn in full pursuit*

Feya: Good evening sirs...I've got a little bit of a situation I think you should be aware of....A little while ago I was in pursuit of a known pirate...Named The.Hidden.Treasure....I didnt think much to my surroundings until I approached Trafalgar Base...I was able to take the following shots with my guncam:


Feya: What is clearly shown, is a Kusari Luxury Liner...In the middle of New London...Docking onto the Junker Base Trafalgar...I will leave this to you sirs to determine what to do next...Feya out...

Hail, Ladies and Gentlemen.

I think it is my responsibility as a fellow Bretonian, to tell you that during the Convoy's blockade runs, passing stokes, some things have happened recently. Me, my men, equipped with shires, and of course, the Armed Forces Wing which was sent to our protection, encountered some Kusari Naval Forces Patrols on our way to LD-14, delivering Boron to keep the MOX production running. Of course, these patrols werent ignored, as I cant ignore offensive actions by those Kusarians, so we got them into battle.

The attached file shows the transfer of the Prisoners of War we made. All the prisoners were imprisoned in fitting cells on the Convoy's Royal Liner, [Convoy].Headquarter, with the guarantee of being treated as humans, not as animals, it this thought may come up.
By having less cells available, and having higher ranked Kusari personnel imprisoned, like Fleet Admirals and Cruiser commanders, these prisoners have been transferred to BPA Newgate for further BAF interrogation.

You can find the exact list of the prisoners we made in the following attached papers:

List of the prisoners aboard [Convoy].Headquarter

If you have further questions, I am, as usual, open for all questions and standing by.
I hope we were able to serve our glorious queen in this topic, and remain

with all respect

Subject: Lieutenant Jason Charles, Officer Insubordination
Notes:

During an engagement with an enemy force in Edinburgh and Leeds, Lieutenant Jason Charles was engaged by the enemy. However, instead of using his ship properly he somehow managed to get his own weapons disabled in the process of the engagement, while I do not know if that is true or not, the Lieutenant failed to fulfill his duty in protecting the Queens own by mouthing back to myself, ultimately stopping his engines in the middle of an engagement and being shot down by a single enemy. Upon which the Lieutenant removed himself from the scene, onto a Gunboat, and proceeded to argue.
