On today's report: I co-joined Core pilot and went on patrol in Kappa and we noticed two strange contacts, which quicky disappeared from radar. Without finding anything else, we returned to patrol duties - the next waypoint being Freeport remains in Delta. However, as we were about to go back to Yaren, we received an S.O.S. signal from other Core vessel. When we arrived nearby Livadia Shipyard in Kappa, the Zoners you were looking for were in combat against Alien forces. We tried to aid the Core vessel also involved into repelling the Nomads, but I was quickly forced to withdraw as my vessel was heavily damaged by two Alien gunboat-size vessels.

So, report for January 12th 824: I was helping a small Core detachment in Kappa and we intercepted one Zoner vessel. With limited gunboat weaponry of mine, all I could do was to disable the target's shields. However, in the end the Zoner vessel in Kappa was destroyed. A bit later, when the detachment co-joined the main Core fleet that was in engagement against a combined fleet consisting of Auxesia, Corsairs and Zoners. However, I was forced to withdraw due to unexpected barrage out of nowhere. I do pressume it was Auxesian Eidolon Wraith which dealt the disabling blows.
My vessel is now under repair at Alabama Shipyard. It will take some time to get my Montante repaired in there.

Given I had been to operation in which Zoners were clearly supported by criminals, I hereby request clearance to proceed with sneak-and-strike engagements against every Zoner vessel intercepted within Omicrons. Only if The Core sees it fit, of course.

Report January 13 824: Your personal attendance to the today's duties render any evidence of my support needless I hope. You are well aware that one Order Recon Cruiser got nailed by one of your guys.
A bit later, we came across an old Zoner friend - Q-Ship class vessel - which I helped to disable last time. The guy clearly remembered my name and took the revenge in assistance of other Zoner Gunboat. I was about to offer a honor duel for the gunboat, but said Zoner simply backstabbed me without allowing me much area of action. I had to withdraw after a very short but uneven fight, as The Core vessels did not make it on time.
If someone would ever claim that Zoners are pacifists, I swear I will board that guy's vessel and slap him so hard the ship will do a nice roll.

Report January 15, 824 A.S.
My gunboat was repaired and refitted at Alabama. New engines and Core-made weaponry replaced the previous equipment that had been destroyed in the last Zoner ambush in Kappa.
I was patroling around Omicron Kappa and it looks like the Corsair-Zoner friendship had not been a single episode. I have seen one of the Zoner vessels, more specifically Omicron Supply Industries, which docked onto Ciutadella Outpost in Kappa.
After my return to Omicron Delta rest of the patrol was eventless - beside of unusually low Nomad drones activity. I returned to Yaren within the schedule.
Valuable information, Charles.
I'll add it do the dossiers.
I'm also forwarding your pay, with some bonus for helping us back in Kappa with the pseudo-fleet that night.
Good job, keep it up.
