PILOT ID: Lieutenant Evyn & Lieutenant Feya
LOCATION: Battleship Derby--Leeds
DETAILS: Joint Standard Report
BEGINNING TRANSMISSION:

*A commotion can be heard in the background as Evyn sits at her desk, Feya in the background tossing papers over her desk*
Evyn: Sis!...How many times have I told you to keep your desk clear?
*Feya stands up, rolling her eyes at Evyn as she continues to look*
Feya: You don't think I already know that?...Yeesh...
*Evyn rubs her forehead as she begins to start her report*
Evyn: This is Lieutenant Evyn, Bretonian Armed Forces Pilot Registration 224-AB-17...Reporting for the days of January 31st to Febuary 7th 819 A.S...I first start out with this report on the Class Gamma attack on Southhampton shipyard following a few days ago...We had received a call from the Rhienland Military over these targets escaping them in the Omega's and I had deemed it necessary to plan a defense against it, however during that time, a Congress ship near Southhampton shipyard continued to send distress calls, by the time my few forces were able to get there, we were too late...From that point it went from defending civilians to defending Southhampton Shipyard...I ordered our few fighters to attack, Ensign Walton, Harding, Clark, Inspector Alexandria of the BPA, along with Jack Henderson of the IMG...What may have seemed suicide against such forces we pressed hard against them, With IAB Redfern and the HMS-Dagobaz joining in to lend support.....The IAB fell under such firepower and the Dagobaz took severe damage, however our men fell one of the beasts and forced the others to retreat...I will say that I have never been so proud to fly with such pilots despite our foes..
*Feya walks over and places her paw on Evyn's shoulder*
Feya: You came back, that's all that matters to me...
Evyn: I know....On the 4th I believe, While on patrol of the Dublin system, what had first started out as a small problem with a few corsair pilots, turned into a full out battle at the IMG base, The Hood...A total of over 15 corsair fighters and two Battleships faced off against us, our numbers totaling about 9 and one gunboat...The fight lasted over two hours in a war of attrition, our forces pushing against them then falling back, time and time again...Our foes then began to leave once both of their capital craft had been destroyed, leaving a few hogosha pilots that were quickly destroyed in the aftermath....Aside from that, there was the Raid in Tau 29, however all information on that will be redeemed classified on this report.
*Evyn sits back in her chair as Feya begins her part*
Feya: Ohkay..Let's see...Uhmm...The other day there was that Kusari Gunboat, the IKN-Yari, that came to Dublin on the impression of collecting rock samples..Yeah Right...We brought that thing down despite our losses...Uhmm..Then, let me see....There was those two idiots at Leeds the other day, Kaufamn and Buddle 2..With me scoring the final hit!...Hehe...

Feya: Other then that...Uhmm..Sis and I are taking the next two days off for some time on our transport, saving up for a donation to the Crown and such...I think that's it really to report...Lieutenant Feya and Evyn out...

Ensign Vermillion here, I'd like to apologise for my previous reports, I guess I misunderstood the purpose of this channel. Sorry...

I have some interesting news. After brief patrol of the Dundee system, I was returning to base via the Edinburgh system, when I stumbled across a... rather interesting situation. While passing the Islay ice cloud, I picked up a NLH transponder signal, but more importantly, I also picked up a number of Omicroner signals and a pair of CMB signals, as well as I believe some Hogosha affiliates. From the brief amount of communication I intercepted before I pulled out, it seems the Omicroners were asking the NLH ship for docking permission on behalf of the CMB... Thankfully, I believe the large number of ships there meant they did not notice my presence, and I managed to leave safely and undetected.

I took some guncam images of the event for further analysis. They should come after this message.

As requested, I am reporting on the attack and destruction of the AI cruiser "Variable".

The cruiser in question was approximately 700-900 meters away from the battleship Essex. I deemed this to be a potential hazard, due to the unknown nature of the vessel and its permissions. I asked Admiral Bridge as to the status of the cruiser, to which he replied that he was uncertain, which I took to mean that the Admiral knew of no permissions. I then asked the cruiser if it had permission to operate in in bretonian space. And ordered all of the vessels, around the Essex, which included a number of mining ships.

The Privateer McCloud interjected that the ship had assisted kusarians in dublin previously, stating that he had a record somewhere, as displayed by the file attached. this is the only image of value to this investigation, as the others have no meaningful conversation or actions recorded, save images of the AI vessel being disabled. The AI vessel replied saying that it had no official status, but helped out from time to time. at which time I made the slightly rash decision to attack preemptively, destroying the ship. It's failure to comply with the request, and lack of proper authorization are my primary reasons.



Later, after I had attacked the Vessel. I was informed that the Vessel had been given permission previously by Commodore Hunter. I am uncertain as to why the vessel was not aware that it had been given freedom to roam in bretonia. I was aware that Admiral Bridge was dealing with a situation at the time of his reply.

Message Begins:

'' Hic! Evening Sah! Reporting the events of yesterday....errr.... the 11th February.....yesh, thats right, the 11th! Anyway, as ordered by the Ruper....ahem, Commodore Woodrow, here is the following.... report. "


Bretonia 4, Hogosha lady boys 1. (FT)

Match kicked off promptly under the watchful eye of the referee, one Agent Timberwolf - Captaining Bretonia was Commodore '' roast-'em-and toast-'em '' Woodrow, leading his team consisting of Ensign Sarah ''Paladin" Vermillion and myself, Michael "the-utter-bastard" Harding. The Hogosha, led by....well, not sure to tell the truth, consisted of a peasant farmer bomber and 3 Black Dragons street urchins, I'd try to tell you their names, but you know how I am with foreign 'language'....

First Half: Some crunching tackles by myself and Commander Woodrow caused the bomber to take an early shower back on Stokes, had we a CD I'm sure we could have sent him off in a ambulance! Oh well, following that we focussed fire on the Hog fighters - swapping targets as the little piggys gobbled through their nano-botts.
At this point I ended up facing a new target and after a few passes eventually drop kicked the scoundrels between the posts for 3 points and in the process convert his Black Dragon into an open-top, courtesy of her Majesties Razor.

Second Half: Once downed, the Referee, Mr Timberwolf gave me my marching orders I was left on the side lines watching. 'Captain' Woodrow then bested one of the two remaining Hog's with a well timed blast of fire reducing the Hogs squad down to one 'man'.
Disaster struck though! Ensign Vermillion had been caught napping and the last dirty rotten scoundrel was able to land a foul shot that sent the Ensign back to the changing rooms for the duration. Not to be put off however, Woodrow, lurched back into the fray and dueled the remaining Hog, eventually hitting the poor devil for a '6' and winning the day! Huzzah!

3 destroyed: 1, 2, 3


Anyway, after the match was won I - acting on my own initiative - decided that her Majesty would feel safer in the knowledge that the Red Li..err 'social' district of Curacao was being guarded by your's truly, honestly, it's a cross I have to be bear, but do it willingly Sir!

*Drunkly salutes the video feed* Sah! Permission to fall out! . . . . . . *He falls over*

I feel it is my duty to report the misgivings of a certain captain john clay who i believe is not fit for command of a bath tub never mind a BAF craft.

I started my duty today and was immediatly informed of a situation that had been going on in dublin it seems the good captain had been assisting a well known vigilante in shooting at IMG ships. A certain mr Adam Patterson.

This in itself gave me cause for concern as my time in dublin has led me to understand that IMG do not openly initiate any hostilities in dublin...

I launched the Revenge from the essex as there where SCRA agents in the vicinity and repeatedly asked the captain for a situation update. The man seemed more interested in dragging his Kusari pet along with him to threaten trade ships in the area with destruction than informing this ensign so he could make well balanced and thought out desicions.

Seeing this was not the way for a captain to behave gave me even further cause for alarm. I believe the man is unfit for his position and i will not follow his orders they are flawed.. he does not think things through .. does not consider any consequences his idea of any plan is shoot it first and then walk off leaving everybody else to pick up the pieces .... If this is the way an officer of the bretonian armed forces is supposed to behave then i for one do not wish to be a part of it .. i joined up to help not hinder the cause of the queen. This man is a joke and makes the BAF| look like mindless fools who only know how to shoot a gun.

In your hands Admiral

Ensign

It seems likely that Captain Clay is acting in response to recent aggressive actions by IMG towards BMM miners.

As evidenced here:

Make sure you know all the facts prior to reporting on your superior officers.

And also, ensure that you yourself proved evidence when providing such an opinionated report.

Now, report for 50 lashes of tazer-flogging.

Fleet Admiral James Ralston.

<strike>I'm not sure if im allowed to post here since im an outcast, i recon some of you might know me, in good and bad ways.

For those that dont: im a outcast frequently seen around dublin and my main goal is to hunt anything that threatens outcasts (sairs, SCRA, AI, hogosha, kusari in general, sso on)

Now i was to understand the BAF and the OC had a peace pact?

If so i'd like to report two souls who have willingly broken it. and continued to do so after i explained the situation to them.

now let me enlighten you to what happend:

a molly shot down a BMM miner that refused to pay the permit, he asked a junker to pick up the gold (i know this junker he can confirm it, since he's neutral to all i pick him over the molly) some BMM named rick astley shot the gold before the junker got it, which pissed off the molly. i happend to be near so took a look, the junker tried to rason with the BMM, which wouldnt listen so i tried to explain to him that he shouldnt punish the junker for what the molly did, at this point he started insulting the outcasts which we cant tolerate

the fight began and some BAF showed up, they opend fire on me after i explained the situation. they followed me down on molly territory, called in a battleship (HMS~Valiant) which opend fire, near the molly base arranmore

ive got several screenshots of the fight, the BS, it being near molly territory, and the command of the cdr to open fire near the base.

the name of the cdr: BAF|cdr.R.Woodrow
the one opening first fire on me (without me firing first or anytihng): BAF|Ens.S.vermillion

quick edit with witnesses to make sure im just not another pirate claiming to be neutral after pirating, these people can confirm me being neutral to miners: [T&M]Saphira, barbos, freemin, buzymax, Kren, and so on

witnesses backing up the story itself: gypsy, bart.m (writting his ful name is a bit tricky (people that know him know why) but you can see him around dublin alot), salvager C.C. (the last one didnt witness the fulls tory )</strike>

has been taken care of by the admiral himselff, and after the BMM pm'd me he swore that he meant to threaten the molly.

all charges dropped

Good day to you all.

I started my patrol last night undocking from the Derby, to hear that Ensign Vermillion and BMM miner escort Rick Astley were under fire from an Outcast Gunboat, Maximus, I came in quickly with my fighter to assist and after some time I held fire due to a misunderstanding of what had been happening and the cause of the conflict. It had seemed at first, that the Outcast had shot at Astley for some threats that he made, and said he would finish this I quote "the outcast way".

The battle continued with a Lane Hacker gunship joining the Outcast, we eliminated the Hacker quickly, with the help of a VPS mercenary. The battle continued against the highly skilled Outcast crew, and Astley was forced to retreat. The Outcast then headed towards the Molly's gold field, seeking refuge at the Molly base, as I, Ensign Vermillion, and the friendly Mercenary tried to wade the Outcast out.

Some 30 minutes of waiting later, the HMS~Valiant arrived, a Battleship. I was debating with myself whether to bring the Valiant into the field, as I had previously requested fighters, bombers, a gunboat or cruiser. Finally I reached the decision to bring the Valiant in to support us from long range. We were provided repairs, and Ensign Vermillion the Mercenary and I rushed into the Gunboat, with long range support from the Valiant, we quickly brought the target to a low hull, I was going to ask it to surrender but.. Slight weapons malfunction from someone, and well, we... Destroyed it.. We quickly retreated with the Valiant's safety as our main priority. We retreated to the Essex and I explained my actions to Admiral Jones. I realized it was wrong of me to bring the Valiant in to assist us, and I apologize for my actions. I payed off the Mercenary, and signed off.

Sadly I was unable to get any guncam footage of this event, it's possible Ensign Vermillion has though.

Commander Robert Woodrow signing off.

----TRANSMISSION ENDED----

@ above, glad to hear you call me skilled *laughs* and happy to see ye realize your mistake (of calling the BS), but halas a bit to late to save my ass. might have ended different if the BS didnt join the action:P(also, yea you did get that LH down pretty fast must say im impressed) but thats the past

about the present: HMS~valiant yet again went hostile on my ass for "being to close to the jumpgate" after i explained to him senor jameson said we outcasts cant pirate in bretonia anymore, he still kept pushing me. till some armed forces lad named Alfred.Williams talked some sence into him. when mister alfred told him that the Baf guide says not to use BS's to attack gunships, mister valiant just laughed it away, alfred pointed out that it were the admirals orders and that he realy should listen to the admiral. valliants response was: if i want too ill still shoot him.

could someone PLEASE talk some sence into valiant? these are moments where i wonder what people like alfred are doing out the BAF and people like valiant are doing in the BAF.



on a side note: the bounty hunter kaspan-hastar (or something like that, fly's an orca and doesnt speaks english to well) assisted a sair (gunboat) and a order (osiris) in taking down me and some molly.
