Recruit Sclario Vitanza here, sending the first patrol report with the details included.
Quote: 4-56|LN-S.Vitanza-B: Reporting for duty!
4-56|LN-A.Henderson-B: At easy cadet. *smiles*
4-56|LN-A.Henderson-B: Whats your possition, over?
4-56|LN-S.Vitanza-B: I'm next to Battleship Mississippi.
4-56|LN-A.Henderson-B: We have a situation in manhattan.
4-56|LN-S.Vitanza-B: I'm en-route sir.
It was a fine start I must say, as for the rest.... it's ain't as glorious. As soon as I got to Manhattan, I have spotted a Zoner Colony Ship, with the name Stealthtyper. Me and Mister Henderson tried to tell him that such warships are not supposed to be here, in liberty space, but we were unable to convince him. Even after the fourth or fifth attempt, the said warship didn't want to leave Liberty. So we had to remove it by force. Things escalated faster than I've expected, and the ship was put out of action.
So, I have resumed the patrol, and I have bumped into a Lane Hacker vessel named Microsol. Sadly, the guncam was damaged in the previous fight, so I have no further documentations about the fight, except this scan of a hostile Asco class gunboat with the name D.Tutashkhia. In a blink of an eye, an entire pirate squadron appeared with various ship classes, and in the end, my ship was scrapped, and I have landed in my pod. On a side note: A mine stuck into the launcher, which caused the explosion of the ship. Can it be that the Executioner has something against me? *he laughs*

Mr. Vitanza,
While you have fulfilled all the necessary requirements and prerequisites for your probation, the destruction of your ship has been frowned upon. Can't blame you for it though, since reports from Primary Fleet indicate you were up against competent pirates. You'll do well to invest more time into sharpening your Piloting Skills and maintenance procedures to avoid such incidents in the future. However, how you've dealt with that Zoner Colony Ship, while unfortunate in its ending, just goes to show how competent you are in handling yourself.
So it is with honor that we, the 56'th Division, welcome you, Sclario Vitanza, into the Combat Branch as an Able Recruit.
You have been granted permission to fly and equip:
Combat Ordinary A-Categories
Combat Ordinary B-Categories
and Combat Ordinary C-Categories
You have also been allowed First-level access into the Personnel Training Laboratories. We mighty reckon you frequent this facility to hone your combat and piloting skills further.
But until the Rank Adjustments & Awarding Channels is finished renovating, you'll have to ask the nearest 4-56'th Lower Command personnel for the requirements of promotion.
Give 'em hell, Vitanza.
It's now your official job description.

Howdy.
After some time off, the patrol started at Planet Manhattan. While patrolling the section to Fort Bush, 2 hostile vessels were made contact with. Named, Black/WhitePeaceBringer and outcast and Alabama.True.Blue supposedly a rogue vessel. After recieving assistance from officer Walter Sherman of the 5th| fleet, we managed to neutralize the threat.
On the way back to base, to resupply on ammunition and refuel, I encountered another threat Named ThePenetrator. During the encounter my craft received a critical impact by a mine.

Ma'am,
Patrol started out from Houston. After a swift check of the Texas system everything seemed quiet, so I moved up on the patrol of the New York. Surprisingly enough things were quiet there too, so I paced up with Jack O'Neill from the 5th fleet in Colorado.
After a brief patrol we made contact with a lane hacker assassin, LH~A~Tom.Ripley, mighty bad-eggs. Can't really say it ended well for him.
During the encounter however, O'Neill's Craft was rendered inoperable, but due to the proximity of friendly bases his escape-pod could be recovered in time.
So far so good, here's where it gets interesting..
As we swept away from Colorado, we decided to have a look at the northern and western territories of Liberty. Ontario was pretty quiet, nothing really going on. However in the Callifornia system we met up with quite an unusual sight. A hellfire transport TFG|HFL-Hercules loaded with base building materials, and a whole weapons cache, both illegal and legal. His escort TFG|Harland,Voss, a sabre, quickly showed up, and well I extracted some really interesting information from these fellas, putting to a doubt even our long standing compromise with our western allies. But to determine weather the information is valid or not, will require an investigation.
Before I could engage in disabling them a large task force appeared in order to back them up, however there was no exchange of fire.
The details and evidence of that information would be best communicated using a more direct and safer, internal channels rather that this one.
