[font=Fixedsys]TOPIC: ESSEX FREELANCER INCIDENT - CRIMINAL LANDED THERE AFTER CRIME

I hope I've chosen the right neuralnet channel for this. I was told to send a report to BAF as well because it's your ship that was used by a criminal. The evidence has already been presented to the New Scotland Yard, too.

About my person: I'm Jack Henderson, IMG Defence Wing, stationed on Hood and I've been cooperatting with BAF, Bretonian Police and IAB in the Dublin Bounty Hunter Crisis for quite some time.

About the incident:

Ms. Chealsea.Cernek chose to land on Battleship Essex just seconds after attacking a BMM miner (see evidence) directly next to Essex. It was so unbeliebable with which ruthlessness she acted that I decided to take some pictures as evidence.

I surely hope she will face consequences and that Essex and Bretonian Auhtorities will know soon who to shoot at.

Yours sincerely,

Jack Henderson, IMG Security Force in Dublin.

Evyn: Forgive me of the low quality on the report sir...On a side note...Due to the overwork and low morale my sister has experianced, she almost cracked from the pressure, however it led to a strange end result when a Kusari Battleship entered Leeds orbit...In a blind rage, she faced it alone, driving ts commander past Stokes and halfway to the Tau-31 Gate until Ensign Harding, BPA Sargent Nathan Hone and a Bretonia supportive AI Cruiser came to assist...Sending details....For the record, I have never witnessed such anger in my sister before...Evyn out...

I have received information indicating that the Mercenary Group called the "Reavers" are hunting miners in dublin, and have received evidence that they have in fact killed miners, and are doing so in the payment of the Gaians:

We cannot abide those who work on behalf of terrorists, and murder law-abiding citizens.

These "Reavers" shall now be destroyed on sight in Bretonia.

On these Orders, I place my hand and seal.

To the Honorable Fleet Masters of the Bretonian Armed Forces

It is my solemn duty to report an incident that occured on the date of January the 22nd involving a rogue Bretonian gunboat by the name of Hubble.

Myself Lieutenant Feya, and Captain Clark of the HMS Revenge (BGB-107) were in the middle of a Combat Patrol in the Leeds system when we encountered said Bretonian Gunboat en route to the Magellan jump hole. Despite repeated warnings from Lieutenant Feya the warship refused to cut their engines for inspection, instead fleeing to the California gate. When they reached the gate the gunboat proceeded to fire several volleys at Lieutenant Feya, and then fled through the California jump gate into Liberty space. At this point we chose to cease pursuit rather than violate Liberty's space, and returned to our combat patrol.

Due to the vessel's flight, I have no confirmation of ID (save for a Liberty Navy IFF) nor of what cargo it may have carried. On lieutenant Feya's orders the Liberty Navy and LSF were contacted and apprised of the situation, but thus far they have been unable to apprehend the gunboat - as a result, it is still at large in Liberty space.

Currently we are mystified as to how such a captain would acquire a Bretonian warship, and it is my personal recommendation that the Admiralty begin an inquiry concerning security measures at Southampton Shipyard.

With all due respect

Ensign Ian Sinclair, Templar Pilot of the Bretonian Cambridge Fleet

First thing I guess that had any scene of happening was starting my patrol or rather picking up my fighter from New London's military ship storage, flew out to the Essex Battleship in Dublin before being contacted by Lieutenant Feya requesting that we make a squadron consisting of Bombers and Fighters for a patrol detail that ended up in Leeds, Feya had some business to attend to and broke off at the Cambridge Jump gate.

After a few moments of refueling at the Derby and talked to a few of the 7 th fleet patrols there. Much to my surprise a Bounty hunter Mako and Bullhead passing right by Leeds at first they just seemed to be passing through and even said they were trespassing but a quick scan of the Makos cargo bay warranted rather special attention, After several attempts at resolving it peacefully and asking them to drop them, we were forced to do so forcefully being that they said their selves that they were going some place to be actually secure leading me to suspect they weren't even properly secured on the Mako.



A second battle in Leeds took place between the HMS-Enterprise and an unknown Kusari Destroyer which I didn't deem rather worthy of remembering the name or in other words I forgot. Two Reaver's had moved in from Dublin being, Flame and Silver. After engaging the Enterprise me and Ensign Harding engaged the Reavers with little success, through a long fight there were no casuiltiys on either side being that we had to withdraw or loose valuable Breatonian assets, both were in a pair of Sabres and Crimson Reaver in a Maffic equipped with a S.N.A.C they attacked the Enterprise which was lucky to escape being just holding on by a bit of wire probably literally. The Maffic fled after taking heavy damage and we did the same after some heavy fighting again after me deeming it was to risky to continue fighting.

While on standard patrol duties in Dublin, My comms was filled with gaian propoganda being transmitted from a gaian gunboat stationed just off the Hood.

Being in a good mood today i thought diplomacy to be the better option. Upon finding said craft i discovered it had an AI merc in its charge and one for those damn reavers close by.

After some long and arduous debate ( why these people keep trying to sway the views of an officer of the crown i will never know) the ship aggreed to be escorted out of the system.


Upon returning to the essex i noticed weapons fire off in the distance. When invstigated it turned out to be a well known pirate in a bomber tailing two BMM hegamons that where running for The Essex.

Ensign mitchell and myself engaged the pirate but sadly lost one of the hegamons in the process.



I will update my report if anything else occurs sirs.

Fleet Admiral Ralston was sitting at his desk working quietly when an excitable Major Dennings ran into the room, panting like a fat dog.

He was a fat dog, thought Ralston.

Ralston made a dismissive gesture and completed his work, which took about 3 minutes. Almost enough time for Dennings heart rate to drop to something between 'chipmunk' and 'rabbit', which meant, at least the man could speak coherently.

Ralston looked up, and raised an eyebrow at the man, which was his way of giving people leave to speak. He hated this idiotic syncophant, who had a will of iron, if by 'iron' it is meant 'oatmeal'.

"Sir!", exlcaimed the Major, "Ensign Cogworks has died during Tazer Flogging!"

Ralston gave a look and a small shrug which meant and who is this person and why does this matter?

"Sir! You gave the lad 300 lashes..."

The Fleet Admiral finished the sentence; "...for conduct unbecoming an officer. Right, I remember. And he survived how many?"

The Major looked confused. Like he had reported a horrific traffic bloody accident and was being asked whether the gore could be detailed out of leather seats.

"He... he survived about one hundred and fifty, Sir."

Ralston nodded approvingly. "Good! That should encourage the others! Please notify the family. The usual, of course. The Admiralty regrets to inform, etc, etc.."

The Major seemed to be stuck in a staring and blinking loop. Ralston snapped his fingers. The Major opened his mouth as if to speak. Ralston interrupted.

"You are still in my office. Rectify that."

The Major did so, forthwith.

Really, thought Ralston, The way some of these bleeding hearts acted, you'd think there wasn't a war on.

To the Honorable Fleet Masters of the Bretonian Armed Forces;

This is Ensign Sinclair reporting in for the date of January the 27th. As you are doubtless aware the Dublin system is a hotbed of activity; Indians, SCRA, and Corsairs among others. But today was far more chaotic than I have ever seen it.

The crisis began when Sgt. Hone of the Bretonia Police Authority issued a distress signal over the Civil Defense Emergency Channel - by his report, there was a Nomad capital ship holding position within the Independent Gold Field, next to the Leeds Jump Hole. I was able to requisition a bomber from the quartermaster aboard Winchester station where I was aboard at the time of the distress call.

Of course, upon arrival the situation proved to be far more complicated than I had anticipated. The BAF force which had answered the distress call included myself, Sgt. Hone, Admiral Jones and (against the honorable Admiral Ralston's explicit orders) three capital ships of the Reserve Fleet consisting of two gunboats and a battleship. Aiding the Nomad Cruiser was a Nomad bomber, and also in the vicinity was one of the Reavers (Silver Reaver). Allied forces and the Nomads engaged in a terse standoff, which was later broken by the presence of a Slave ship. After detecting its presence, the Admiral ordered all forces to engage - not wanting to disobey a direct order (and despite what is in my opinion a pointless waste of munitions and fuel by having so many units pursue a single slaver), I did so and the transport was summarily eliminated. At that point I returned to the Essex, having sustained damage from the transports cannons and clocked out of active duty to conserve manpower and resources, given that so many units were out in the field. It is unfortunate that the Reserve Fleet still seems to be disregarding a direct order from the Admiralty: I was unable to get a shot of all the Allied units deployed due to a guncam malfunction in the borrowed bomber, but Agent Timberwolf was present and could doubtless give a fuller account of these events, especially after I disengaged from the situation.

I do not need to report that the situation in Dublin is getting out of hand - oftentimes our forces do not have the active manpower to combat threats domestically and on the front in Leeds. I therefore make the suggestion of contracting our zone of influence within Dublin and restricting it to the Graves field, the Essex, and the jump gate. While it makes Dublin a lot more dangerous for civilians, unfortunately fair Bretonia is in a state of war and I believe that it is time the civilians cut back on their comforts (namely in the form of having the Armed Forces act as a police cover for their activities in Dublin). However, this is merely a suggestion and I do not presume to overstep my rank, and will fully submit to whichever course of action you deem practical or necessary.

For Queen and Country,

Ensign Ian Sinclair of the Bretonian Cambridge Fleet
