Liberty Forces Message dump - Printable Version

[color=##33CCFF]That.. that is what's left of my fighter over there.. It's gonna take a full couple of days to get it back up and operational again.. But I make this report knowing that we've stopped another incursion.

Capt Zander's had got some intel - We're not sure from where, that the SCRA were planning on hitting Liberty from the California side. John and I were on standby and we rushed to the Magellan gate. On orders from Zanders - we headed to Magellan where we intercepted the SCRA forces at the Leeds jumphole. My scanner went nuts, It's a lovely wee thing when it works this battleship scanner - we were able to track down and intercept the two SCRA contacts before they could get near any civilian targets.

We were up against Walter Steiner and Joshua Jimenez. Walter was in an Insurgent class Heavy fighter, Joshua in an Odin Hessians fighter. We've long suspected that the Hessians are working for the Coalition. This almost gives irrefutable proof.

I was the focal point of the enemies attack, with Walter seeming keen to duel me and let off his missiles. It was tough to stay away from him and his cannonballs especially when Joshua kept pushing in as well. John kept me supplied and eventually we got lucky and Walter was downed. Joshua had kept Walter fed with bots/bats as well and we knew that we could push home our advantage 2v1. Even though I battled with half hull for the bulk of the fight - We managed to take Joshua down with my magma's connecting and the target being destroyed. I saw some very weird after effects though sirs - something like a cloaking escape pod?! I'm not sure - It didn't stay around for long and my scanners couldn't pick up the faint unknown radiation source. I have a strange feeling we will seeing them again.

The operation was a success - however a taxing one. At least we didn't lose anyone this time around.

Wherever Zander's is getting this intel - Keep it coming.

Sub-Lieutenant Ashfield submitting report:

First shift of the day started around 1730 SMT. I moved from Planet Houtson orbit to New York. In my way to RV with Whitehall, I spotted Veera Allen alongside a Zoner Conference Gunboat (Callsign: C.a.i.n). Since Allen was tagged as criminal, I decided to give her the first -and last- chance to leave our space. Since she was ignoring both Whitehall and me, we had to open fire on her ship. It wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't for that Conference Gunboat which decided to assist Allen, so we had to set priority on taking down the bigger ship first. We got assisted by a TF7 and a random LSF agent, though both were blasted by the hostile vessels. We couldn't do much until Kelly arrived. The gunboat was succesfully destroyed, but Allen managed to escape.

Whitehall and me had to repair and refuel, so it took me some time until I could rejoin Kelly in California. She was dealing with a certain trader suspected of illegal actions. Suddenly, that well-known pilot called Jarek showed up on his Hacker bomber. There was a mercenary in scene who began to fire upon it, but since it was taking him some time, Kelly assisted the mercenary. Despite I was staying away from the fight, Jarek decided to shoot me, so I had no other alternative than engaging. We evetually took it down...Actually, he did the job by himself, though I had to recover Kelly's escape pod.

Second shift of the day started around 2215 SMT. Some of us were dealing with the Hellfire Legion near Norfolk. I was ordered to remain stand by... Until a random Hacker ship showed up. Again, Whitehall and me were ordered to chase it. Then, Commodore Robinson gave us green light to destroy it.

Since the situation with the HF pilots was covered, Captain Zanders took us to California, where Whitehall would RV with Lieutenant Tippman some time later. I jumped into Magellan with Zanders to check our pilots who were fighting the SCRA. It was covered too, until a bunch of Lane Hackers showed up. We only managed to blast Mr Sanguinetti, while the rest decided to hide in the Freeport. Our pilots won the fight against the SCRA hostiles, so we moved back to California. I perfomed a quick patrol alongside Tippman and ended the shift.
