-( Viva Velasquez - Visitor, Vacationer, Volunteer And today I witnessed glory! I witnessed slaughter! I witnessed apocalyptic carnage! All in the name of the, uh, revolution. I think. Well I don't know but I really kind of don't care that much, no offense. It all started with, well this. Then it carried on to stuff like this. Or, well, you know, this. And yeah stuff like this too. I'm sure the Rotfront amigos will have more to say on the matter as such. I mean I'm kind of lost for words here, those two particular Cossacks, that motormouth-bastard... Rhade was it, well doesn't matter, and that Xu fellow, they actually like you know seemed pretty decent. For Cossacks. Not that I was that big a fan but they're better than those Order wastes of breath I've been seeing around the Omegas lately. Granted, that's all not so important. Our, well your... or our? Eh, well, let's just say "we" achieved a grand tactical victory in Gamma earlier today despite overwhelming odds and some losses and for the night drinks go on my tab, on Freital and Ronneburg that is. I also heard that someone's given the Lexx a beating but she sent the Black Sails flagship packing a short while ago in Omega 5, and then partook in the blasting of some other Osiris which was torn to shreds with the aid of the Cossacks' own Havana, along with two butchered Corsair Funboats, courtesy of the RF, with some Gelderland-thing in the middle being annoying. Another win, I guess? But anyway! Cheers to you all my comrades! Friends! Amigos! Mes amis! Signores et signoras! And like they say in Kusari, Kampei! [color=#DFFF00]Viva -( Transmission terminated

-( Josef Steiner, Kapitän, Kanonenboot Vladistan Guten Tag, Kameraden. I come reporting of the Vladistan's maiden voyage today, which was quite a success in its own regard. During the long patrol I worked together with our comrades from the RotFront as we were trying to bait and lure, and then destroy, some of the Military's capital ships. Unfortunately that wasn't the greatest success, as none of the Military armor fell for the traps we've set during the course. However, our comrades did manage to score kills on the stray BDM ship and two Military vessels they encountered in Omega-7 much earlier. There was also one of our comrades from the Coalition Revolutionary Army present, but I myself did not get to talk with him much. To move on, I later made contact with an individual going by the name "Rorry", the leader of Rorry's Renegades. I am I admit unaware of past conflicts between our movement and said group, and during the circumstances present I chose to ally with them on two occasions. The first being making the Battleship you can see above hide. The second being a greater cluster that ensued around Planet Stuttgart. I must stress that the above footage doesn't encompass all of the destruction amongst the Military's war-machinery caused by this group, Kameraden. And despite the overwhelming opposition, in addition with stationary perimeter defenses, they fought valiantly and brave. To be honest I feel a little honored to have fought alongside them despite whatever differences might exist, seeing as they threw themselves against the Military without looking back and without any hesitation, as I've witnessed first-hand from the moment I arrived at the scene. To conclude this report, I partook in getting rid of three, maybe four Cruisers, and two Military Gunboats. At the end of it the RotFront artillery arrived to waste the last remaining Military Cruiser along with nearly ramming the last Military Gunboat into oblivion, quite a destructive success. I would like to add on a separate note however that as much as I'm honored to command one of our Gunboats, I find its performance a little below desired expectations. While it's quite heavily armored compared to the light weapons array, I find that outside of agility it's not going to be much of a match against Military vessels of equal class. I have yet to get a chance at fighting Corsair vessels in this ship however, and I hope the performance will be more to my liking. Secondly, while in no way do I question the Oberkommando's taste, I do find the name of the ship, Vladistan that is, somewhat... silly. I do realize it is to honor a rather special comrade of ours, but... Vladistan, Kameraden? Really? On a final note, I managed to also acquire 4.444.444 Credits in the name of the Revolution earlier from two passing-by transports in Stuttgart. Quite the friendly couple, even if not much talkative. One of them said something about "liking nice pirates", but I don't particularly remember myself being that nice.

Red Hessian Reporting Facility - Nicolas - 08-11-2011 Transmission source: Freital Base, Omega 11 Transmission ID: Obereutnant Hans Gukel Transmission receiver: RHA Transmission begins: Guten Abend, Kameraden der RHA During the last weeks I was able to gain enough money with my "mining operations" to buy myself a Capital Armor Upgrade MK VIII. I will use it on my Pirate Train Wiener Blut and on my Heimdall class Gunship Volkskrieg. I really hope Daumann and Kruger will "enjoy" it, as they did the work for it. Furthermore I smuggled some of our Blood Diamonds to Padua base in Galileo on our Pirate Train Seehund. It was a very quiet journey with no hostile forces in sight. RHT-Seehund aproaching Padua Base. Blood Diamonds sold to Liberty Rogues There are some strange news to report too. On one of my patrols in Omega 7 I crossed the way of an Outcast Sarissa class Destroyer. The captain of that ship was pretty much not knowing what he`s doing. He refused to leave our space so me and some Kameraden were forced to get rid of him. I`m proud to report about another succesfull Gamma Raid. Yesterday Kameraden [RF]Vladimir.Ulianov and [RF]Boris.Dzertaev of Rot Front Kampfverbund, our newest recruit Adam Vagner and me met at Freital Base in order to invade Gamma with a guirilla warfare tactic. Go there - kill as much as possible - retreat. well that was the plan problWas, we didn`t follow it as more and more Kameraden came to assist us during the fight. However, Gamma was once again guarded by an insane amount of capital ships. Our Fighters were inable to scratch that vessels so Vladimir retreated to take comand of Rot Fronts Flagship Stakhanov. Soon after that Boris` and Adam`s ships were destroyed by very lucky missiles launched by a Legate, but there is no need to worry their escape pods were tractored and they are safe and unharmed. [10.08.2011 21:05:51] Death: [RF]Boris.Dzertaev was killed by CNS-Captain.Armin (Wasp/Hornet) [10.08.2011 21:06:13] Death: Adam.Vagner was killed by CNS-Captain.Armin (Wasp/Hornet) At that point me and another Kamerad called Ralf Neumann we were forced to retreat to Omega 41 where the Stakhanov already was waiting for us. The Cannibal forces didn`t follow us right away which gave us enough time to regroup and discuss battletacticts, and it even give some unexpected reinforcements time to show up. Some Pilots from Outcasts XTF showed up in Bombers to assist us. I switched to our Bomber Stuka too and as soon as I got in range of combined Hessian and XTF forces the Cannibals entered the system in there big and "mighty" Schlachtschiffe. First of those who fell to our SNACs and Stakhanovs Morar was an Osiris called Virus 101. [10.08.2011 21:14:27] Death: Virus101 was killed by an NPC More and more Hessian reinforcements appeared: Rot Front Vidar Kreuzer Wohlfahrt, Rot Front Fighter Troll-935, Fighter Konrad Drechsler, Fighter Operation North and one vessel which had a high influence to our victory, Plumber a Repair ship. With all this additional firepower we took hand over battle in no time. Though we still had to take some losses as one of XTFs died to CNS-Captain.Armin`s Missiles too. [10.08.2011 21:16:30] Death: [XTF]Azrael was killed by CNS-Captain.Armin (Wasp/Hornet) However, the Cannibals retreated to Gamma soon, but we didn`t leave them any time to regroup. We immedatly jumped after them and another surprise was waiting for us, it seemed as XTF called for some help from Omicron Alpha as two Ranseur class Dreadnoughts called MNS-Lonely Ghost and MNS-Moonlightning where already waiting in Omicron Gamma. Soon a Corsair Legate class Dreadnought fell to the incredible fire power from Hessian and Outcast combined forces.

-( Josef Steiner, Kapitän, Kanonenboot Vladistan Guten Tag again, meine Kameraden. After reloading all armaments and some sensor calibration, as well as giving the crew a quick break, I started a long-distance patrol of Omega-41 and 47 with the Vladistan, with the goal of checking up on our distant assets in the latter system. To my surprise, I encountered no hostile presence whatsoever as I did a full sweep of 41 and proceeded to 47. Aside from the Corsair Battleship Fes still being present and on watch duty in the system, there was no single Corsair or other kind of threat to be found. I opted to set course for the 47 jumphole, to then take a look at Casablanca, opting to inspect Viernheim as I'd be returning to Freital later on. And as I said Kameraden, there was no threat to be found. I did however encounter a few Zoners, and chose to ask them for donations to our cause. Some were quiet, but one wasn't, that one being the Kapitän of the Omicron Supply Industries vessel "Selene". I have provided a transcript of our conversation here. Quote:[color=#FFFF99][11.08.2011 20:13:44] RHGB-Vladistan: Guten Tag. As you can see it was quite the interesting conversation, providing some even more interesting information, ja. Of particular note is the bit of that mysterious "O'Neal" person and the Corona Battlegroup. I have set it as a secondary task for myself to find out more about said person and group should I see a chance for that during my future patrols. Of course, our Freund on the Selene was also so kind to donate a whole three Million Credits to our cause and seemed much interested in the latter, as you can see. Seeing as I had more than enough fuel left and long-range-scan reports weren't indicating any more threats, I then decided to set course to Omega-49, to try and see if I couldn't gather more donations. However seeing that our movement has not too long ago been officially recognized by the Bretonian government as a legitimate organization, and seeing Omega-49's close proximity to Bretonian space, as well as the fact that 49 itself is Zoner-governed territory, I wanted to first ensure that I wouldn't be upsetting the locals by asking for donations, so I tried to find out who, at the time being, governed 49 exactly so I could get in touch with them. I have provided a transcript of the communications sent, received and otherwise during my short stay in the system below. Quote:[color=#FFFF99][11.08.2011 20:37:38](SR~Adrian.Thrax: Eh. Must be me. Now as you can see, while I didn't manage to get in contact with any authority figure, so to speak, I did however find out that it's the TAZ I have to contact in this matter, which brings me a step closer. I have to say here that due to 49's close proximity to Bretonia as well as to Casablanca and Viernheim, and due to its apparently rather peaceful population, I think that the system could become quite the interesting "donation center", for the lack of better words, meine Kameraden. Aside from that little bit from the potentially threatening "SR)" fellows, overall there was no hostility, and while I wasn't as successful as I'd like, it was quite the interesting and productive detour. And, uh, ja, that sandwich thing is a long story that came as a result of a couple too many conversations with a particular Fräulein on Vogtland, but no matter. On the way back I passed Viernheim and took a closer look, only to find everything in order. I encountered no further threats, and then proceeded to Omega-5, finding it nigh-empty, and afterwards to Omega-7 where I passed some individuals to catch myself a lone miner going by the name of "Markam". I convinced our Freund to donate a token amount of 333.333 Credits to our cause and then moved on to Freital, having brought the total of donations collected by the Vladistan to 7.777.777 Credits. All in all, in terms of combat the only thing happening was a single cruise disruptor missile hitting Markam's ship, but else there was absolutely nothing, and that concludes my report meine Kameraden. To serve as a final note I do want to add that, while I don't know our comrade "Vlad" in whose honor the Vladistan is named, I sincerely hope that with my rather peaceful and non-violent actions I could bring honor to the ship's name and acted in a way that would have done our comrade proud.

-( Josef Steiner, Kapitän, Kanonenboot Vladistan Guten Tag again Kameraden. I bring to you a patrol report of Stuttgart and the Omega systems. My routine patrol started quietly in Omega-11, after which I proceeded to check up on mining operations in 7. Leider, meine Kameraden, there was little miner presence outside of some independent IMG vessels present, and there were no opportunities to acquire currency at all. The few miners I encountered remarked that the fields have been bled dry, and it seems that they're having a hard time getting any substantial loads together. As such I proceeded to do a long-winded trip to Dresden, having heard reports of Daumann vessels in the area. I encountered none however, so I took the route back to Omega-7 through New Berlin, and then later Stuttgart. Luck was on my side this time, as I found myself a Military Gunboat. I told our Feind that it was Zeit zu sterben, and then the threat was exterminated without much effort. A member of Rorry's Renegades wished to help, but he saw that the Kapitän of the Freya had no chance against the unending Feuersturm unleashed by the Vladistan's guns. Afterwards I teamed up with our Kamerad "Adam Vagner" to continue the patrol, proceeding back to Omega-7 for the time being. There I encountered a Corsair Gunboat, and promptly forced it out of our territory. Just as for the Freya's crew, so was it Zeit zu sterben for him, Kameraden. Unfortunately the Kapitän survived in his escape pod, having made futile attempts at running away, and then he went on to talk things about us "settling it like real men" next time, both ships head-on and standing still. Ich finde das very, very amusing, and I'm a little tempted to grant him his wish. Moving on, Kamerad Vagner and I continued our patrol, surveying the Omega systems, but outside of a lone Military pilot spotted sometime after I engaged the Corsair, there wasn't any threat present. In fact, the Military pilot presented no threat whatsoever, preferring to keep his distance and hide. With nothing of interest present and long-range scans showing the vicinity to be quiet, we had a little chat regarding some upcoming civil war among the Outcasts. While I'm usually not that interested in foreign politics, some discussion during a quiet time can prove to be quite refreshing. A little later Kamerad Vagner decided to head back to Freital and to get dinner, with his shift being over. I then continued to investigate reports of some high-value targets being present in the Omega-5, 41 and 47 systems. Unfortunately again I found little, with one of the possible targets turning out to be a comrade of the Landwirtrechtsbewegung who wished to instead join our cause now, with his goal being to be given command of a Heimdall Kanonenboot much like the Vladistan. So I continued to Omega-41, having plenty of fuel and supplies spare for whatever scarce opposition I might encounter. There I met a Freelancer who may or may not have been working for Interspace Commerce. I decided to ask him for a donation of 666.666 Credits, a low sum considering the Herr had been able to afford a fully-equipped Gunboat himself. As you can see, he didn't fancy sharing the wealth, stating things like him not having enough money, which I found to be ridiculous coming from someone who can afford such fancy a vessel. I do have to give credit to him for halting earlier however when I asked him to do so, or else face "Hammerzeit". But I digress. He was taken care of by the Vladistan's guns effortlessly just the same, and later on even with a little help of Kamerad "FOR". We then continued searching for the reported high-value targets still present, deciding to move to Omega-47, and I can say we got lucky there as we encountered a USI vessel just as we made our jump. Quote:[color=#FFFF99][12.08.2011 12:47:22] RHGB-Vladistan: HALT! Ahem, ja... as you can see a very... interesting encounter, especially seeing as I'm quite interested in some Libertonian ladies myself... but ja, this is not the place for that meine Kameraden. However we acquired another 2.500.000 Credits for the cause, which brings the Vladistan's total to 10.277.777 Credits. To conclude the patrol and investigate the potential threats present, we moved back to Omega-41 and then back to Freital where I proceeded to rearm, refuel and to write this report. The journey back was uneventful and quiet. On obligatory further note, I must say that the Vladistan performed much more to my expectations today, and I found its ability to dodge gunfire originating from hostile Gunboats by mere tapping of the directional thrusters to be quite good, surprisingly, but I am still not entirely convinced of the ship's performance. What bothers me more however is that the cramped cockpit, having to fit three of the five-man crew, lacks sufficient ventilation and air-conditioning on prolonged journeys if all three men happen to be smokers. I do appreciate the integrated ashtrays as well as the latest-generation holographic command interface, but the lack of proper air-flow could affect performance negatively if this class of ship were to be used in long-range patrols far longer than usual without a chance to just open the hatches and get some fresh air in. Josef Steiner, für ein freies Rheinland, für die Volksrevolution Ah, a little update Kameraden, I just launched the Vladistan from Freital and took her out to Omega-7 for a routine systems check. The money total is now up by another 3.333.333, bringing us to 13.611.110 Credits, thanks to a hauler I happened to find close to the 11 hole after jumping in. -( Transmission terminated
Red Hessian Reporting Facility - Blighter - 08-14-2011 [font=Palatino Linotype]ROTER STERN [color=#996600]F[color=#995500]R[color=#994400]O[color=#993300]M [color=#992200]THE FRONT FOR ALL COMRADES Meine Freunde und Kameraden.
Soldaten of the one and truly free Rheinland. Hessians, Unioners, Landwirters and loyal Mercenaries. Today was but another day for us and for our Revolution, another day where our Krieg continued on multiple fronts, and it was a good day. A day both filled with victory and defeat, a day during which both our and our enemies' blood and tears were shed. Though I will say here that in our case those tears might have been mostly tears of joy, but let me not digress further. It was a fine day that demonstrated once more that we will not be silenced, and that we will continue this war of ours on all fronts until we achieve our victory, or die standing. And it all began simple, it began quiet. It began only with a few of us, no more in number than three, not much unlike all revolutions as they begin with but a few rising up against the many, united and in defiance, and with an unbroken will. The Kameraden of the RotFront, Phillip Schulze and Vladimir Ulianov, as well as I, we originally disembarked to assault targets of opportunity in the Corsairs' homesystem, the well-known Omicron Gamma. And so it came that just that was precisely what we did. But one shall not underestimate the ferocious and dreaded Corsairs, even more so in these days than ever before. The sound of a Praefect's bursting hull echoing over the channels is like the cry of a weak calf, a calf that gets its body rent and its limbs torn apart by three lions with an insatiable hunger, eager to taste blood. It did not take much time for the whole herd to come after us, their heads low as they wanted to charge us three, impale us on their vicious horns, seeking revenge for those we had slain. And even though I say we should not now and not ever underestimate our sworn enemies from Crete, we have to always remember one thing. The bull is a clumsy beast, a beast lacking finesse. A beast that fights with the whole herd, one that on its own can only barely protect itself from a lion's deadly fangs, and even less from the quick blows of its mighty paws. And so it came that the fight turned into a long-winded back and forth, with the Corsairs' armada furiously, if not even desperately, trying to kill us - if we were lucky - or trying to get us into our pods so they could catch us, humiliate us, and even go as far as to follow their cannibalistic rites - if we were unlucky. However if the calf can call for the herd and rely on that to come charging, so can we count on our friends, on our lions pride, to come to our aid when times are most dire. As the fighting went on we few who had come to wage war on enemy soil quickly found ourselves outnumbered, even as our reinforcements poured in. Red Hessian Army, RotFront, the brave and honorable Mandalorian, we all stood united against the horde of Corsairs, and we fought relentlessly and without question. But the Krieg against the Corsairs is by far our bloodiest one, and it knows no rules. It is a war where we cannot only win, a war where victories go hand in hand with defeat. With the horde of fighters, bombers, and a whole three battleships pushing further against us and advancing on Omega-11, we knew that this was it. We had done our best, and there was still more to be done. Lesser men, men without the hearts of lions, those would have given in to the voices of reason, and they would have stopped. But not our Kameraden, our Brüder und Schwestern of the RotFront.
They defied those voices. They gave up on reason. They made their stand. Without fanfare or choir to announce the upcoming display of courage, the RotFront brought their three carriers to bear against the Corsair tide, to show that they would get this far but no farther. No quarter would be given, no matter the cost. And the cost truly was great, as neither the mighty Stakhanov, the venerable Conscience, nor the relentless Vladstadt could defeat the horde. But this sacrifice was not in vain, the blood that had been shed on our side was not for naught. As all three carriers got crippled one after another, the remaining and damaged Corsair battleships retreated. Slowly at first, and then with due haste. Our message had been delivered, even if our Kameraden of the RotFront had to pay a high price, it had been delivered, and it had been heard. All that was left was a Corsair gunboat and a flock of fighters with some stray bombers in-between, and they were our prey. Our clumsy bulls and defenseless calves. No match for our fangs and paws, disheartened themselves and standing against us few lions with fires burning in our hearts stronger than before when all this had started. [color=#991100]☆
No more blood of our brothers and sisters was spilled in Omega-41 this night. And as we fought back the remaining Corsairs, we knew that despite all sacrifices Omega-41 was ours this time. We had held against the unending tide, we had fought them back and demonstrated the superiority of our fighters, demonstrated our undying devotion. Men and women like you and I, with motivations as different as they can be, we all stood together against the horde and fought relentlessly. And of all those in fighters we only lost one, one that not even the Corsairs could claim for it was merely stationary defenses in Omicron Gamma that got his ship torn to shreds, rather than it being a bull impaling our Kamerad on its horns. But meine Brüder und Schwestern, this is but one part of what occurred tonight, for our Krieg is not only waged in the Omegas and Omicrons, nein, it is also waged at home in Rheinland, against the Military. And so later on there was another fight in the middle of our beloved, and sadly war-torn Hamburg. The ones to start their bloody work first were our Kameraden of the Arbeitergewerkschaft. What they had found was a number of Military craft, a fighter detachment led by none other than the Military's Vizeadmiral Hans Putzkammer. As I heard of it I raced my Odin towards Hamburg as fast as I could, closely followed by our Mandalorian friend, who was still not tired of battle and willing to help our friends against the Military's forces. So it came that just as I was approaching and rushing to the scene as fast as my ship's engines allowed, I was intercepted by a Military fighter. And unfortunately before I could arrive, one of our Kameraden had fallen to the Military's might. It was at this time that I remembered another thing which we all should never forget, no matter what. If the Corsairs are the bulls and we, meine Kameraden, are the lions, then our countrymen, our fellow Rheinlanders, the Soldaten of the Military, they are the wolves. Wolves with fangs keen as ours, hearts filled with courage, and souls more unbreakable than steel. [color=#991100]☆
I know, I could tell you about how again brothers and sisters joined together as one. [color=#991100]☆ I obviously could tell you about the fight and all the little details thereof. [color=#991100]☆ I could also tell you about how later on I struggled to survive. [color=#991100]☆ I could tell about how we won against the Military tonight. [color=#991100]☆ I could tell you many, many things with many words. [color=#991100]☆ But there is one thing, meine Kameraden, one important thing worth more than a mere note on the side that has to be spoken out loud so everyone can hear. Despite the war against Liberty, despite the Westfalen's recent fall into enemy hands, despite all criticism, all hatred, all doctrine and all odds, I want every single one of you to know that despite all that, tonight the Military's fighters fought not only bravely and ferociously, nein meine Kameraden, they did not only fight this way, but most important of all they fought with something that in one way or another we value. Not something we may value as Soldaten, not even as Rheinlanders. No, something we all value to a higher or lesser degree as the upstanding people who fight for our beliefs. Something that in these days is absent all across Sirius. They fought with Honor. Mit Ehre.
Their own Vizeadmiral, Hans Putzkammer, might have seen this as an opportunity to train pilots. Ja, he might have seen it as just another day, just another time where he had to face off against us who we are deemed "unlawfuls" and "criminals" by the government, but regardless of that, it was still a fight. Another part of another war, a war in which he could have secured a victory by ordering a present Battleship to open fire. But he didn't.
[color=#991100]☆ And so we all did our best to make this an honorable fight, to keep the odds even, and to make it one of the fights that would stand out among the few others in this Krieg. Let me say here that I like to believe that we did not do what we did just as mere soldiers, nor as Military or AGSers or Hessians. Nein, I like to believe that we did so as people, as human beings. Where I as a Hessian once thought that the Corsairs, known as noble, honorable and proud of those things being attributed to them, as well as proud of their traditions, where I once thought that they would be the ones whom we would fight fights like those against, I now know better. Where the Corsairs tonight acted as I would have expected the Military to do, the Military did the polar opposite. For that, meine Freunde und Kameraden, as a soldier, as a Hessian, and as a human being, I salute the Rheinland Military.
Let us not forget that even though they may be on the other side, our fellow Soldaten are human beings as you and I, no matter how much we may demonize them in other times. And let us not forget either that even if their ways do not match ours, even if there may always be grudges too strong and wounds too deep, they are still our brothers and sisters, and just as we, they fight for the Vaterland.

Here is summary of few days patroling and flying. Mainly, systems where I was operating- Omega 7, stuttgard, Omega 11. About two or one day ago, I was in my first harsh fight. We were in stutgard. Was pirating. Then, FRP spoted us. When the fight started, he get reinf with another fighter (// he was killed fast by bombers, I forgot take screen) gunship and we also recived information about cruiser. Gunship decided me as a primary target. Unable to made any significant damage, this dog started to fire missiles like mad. When all CM were ceplited, I become sweet targed for him. Time by time I had opportunity to breack him off from me, but then arrived RNC Annoyance- Rheinland cruiser. So they bring heavy forces against few snubs. I took decision, to track gunships attention and aim on me, and took it away from the rest of the fight. Wile without CM, I managing to breack off gunship missiles rain almost in few seconds before they could hit my ship. I seperated gunship from cruiser, so I think, I managed to won time, for our heavy backuparrives. RNC cruiser was blowen up, gunship, which were following me, escaped like last coward. After a while, another gunship showed up. May be late reinf... dont know. I know only, that this gunship had same with cruiser fate. Cruiser taking fire, gunship escaping Cruiser down Reinf.gunship taking fire Gunship destroyed Also, when I was patroling Omega 47 system, I saw strange ship, posebly rogue/stolen corsair gunship, with Royal Navy IFF and Freelancer ID. Ship didnt have our pilots on board, I had no CD, and 3 Corsairs titans was on me, so I decided let him go. basicly, I couldnt stop him. Strange ship spoted ID scan Thats all. For the revolution! For the fatherland! -Transmission terminated- |
