We were basically all there...Leeds and Chester, goddamn - a fleet of Marduks took us on and some GRN here and there, never seen that kind of stuff before. Not much to say really, GRN invaded Leeds with no less than 13 Battleships, unfortunately we couldn't get there in time for the fight and missed out on two cap kills. However, Nomads were detected and we asked a LN Admiral if he wanted to help us and the Brets push them out. The Bret fleet got beat up pretty bad but we managed to beat them out of Leeds. I'm proud to say, however, that the damage we did to one of those Marduks resulted in its death a few minutes later after we withdrew from the fight. I want to make note that this Nomad fleet entered Magellan at one point - their threat is incalculable to the Natio. A disturbing revelation revealed itself to us this day....The Taskmasters know the details. Guncams are below, I'm going for a drink at Seasons, then I'm forming up with Pasdaran in Bering tomorrow morning.
Me and Karim flew out of Kreuzberg a day or two ago to patrol the Western Omegas for hostiles (and cash, we like cash). Eventually we just ended up taxing the Rheinland corporations and occasional Freelancer in the area. No real combat targets were there to begin with of course but, hey, I won't complain about that; we got payed instead of getting shot at. Some of the guncam shots got lost unfortunately but all in all we got an extra 30 million in the bank.
I'm just going to put this right here *laughs*. Goddamn BMD got too caught up starting at their junk to notice us escaping, intelligence agency my ass. Conversation is below.
So Dario sent me these pictures earlier today, apparently it happened two days ago or something and I'm not bloody happy. Well in a less funny bit of news, a fricking Liberty Dreadnought was flying through Kansas of all bloody places - but that really doesn't matter, what matters is the fact that he was carrying nomad remains and Order pilots. Hell if the Nomads discover that the corpses of their brothers are being hauled through our space before we can sign some sort of treaty with the Order we can be in some pretty deep *****. Guidelines must be established with the government as well - we cannot have goddamn lawful capitals flying through our space with the Hackers and Rogues right next door. Here's a few audio transcripts.
Now, in light of this situation; Dario and Erasmas took a patrol around Kansas - what they were looking for precisely is that Nomad gate we heard so much crap about - you know, how some guys walk in there and never come back? They found it, all beat up but still functioning - about eight kilos below the Rattlesnake wreck.

Patrolled Ka- ... New Caledonia today. No sign of any Cerberus personnel anywhere. This means that either they're very good at hiding, or more likely that they're only mediocre at bluffing.
An Octavarium civilian alerted me to interesting developments in Humboldt. This information has been relayed on more secure channels.

Good morning, folks!
We've made an orbital survey of Planet New Westminster -- Wichita, to you lot who are hearing of it for the first time -- and I've sent it off to some bored graphics gurus on the Metropolis to get a nice map made up.
We drudged some names out of an old Earth history record that I thought were pretty cool and assigned them pseudorandomly to the landmasses of note.
Our plan of action will begin shortly by setting up a small colony on New Vancouver and establishing a permanent radio connection from it to the Metropolis. The planet is incredibly habitable -- a garden world, you could say. In the meantime, do not go into airspace of the island marked "Lanus". We didn't name that one. Cerberus did. As soon as we deal with it I'll come up with a better name.

Members of Pasdaran, you've all done a great job down in Rhein, we did some damage, made some cash and showed our strength. Now return home, our deployment here is done for the time being - other things need to be taken care of.
Today, the deal was closed with the Blood Dragons. They will allow a small detachment - four fighters - to station itself on Kyoto Base. Additionally, one transport at a time is permitted for trade.
I believe the presence of an unexpected visitor may have helped us.
Those present know the details. The details have been forwarded to Taskmaster Kane. No one else particularly needs to know the details.

In light of our new docking access to Kyoto, Pasdaran Squad will be relocating there for strikes against Gallia and their fellows. I would like Karim, Saronsen, and Nikolai to move up. The Taskmasters are welcome to accompany us should they choose so, assuming it does not irk the Dragons.
