Officers of the First Armada,
Today our officers have evaluated the remains of the Hackert station - it is a former LSF installation, we are not sure how it has come to be so heavily damaged or who caused it. But we have managed to enter the intact parts of the base to investigate. Things got pretty crowded!

Officers of the First Armada,
Today we have suspected JM|-"Peach.Porridge" to be smuggling illegal munitions on Vespucci. What he did however might just save many lives of the Liberty Navy. The ship led us straight into the Guerrero Asteroid Cloud we assumed to be abandoned. Out of nowhere, however, the fire was opened upon our vessels from the field - we are now under strong suspicion of enemy activity or a base of operations. We now will be ready, and the Junker did a great service for Liberty today.

VANGUARD,
I thought for a second there I had you...It was beautiful two hours of believing I was the best Patrolman last month...
Turns out it was just a clerical error and you retain your title. Meet me in the mess hall, I will have to hand the award over. Excuse the creasing, it was already on my uniform.............
As you are all aware we have improved our Raptor status and also improved our vessels.
It is time to step up to the plate and make life difficult for the lawbreakers within Liberty. As of today as you have all been briefed, we are increasing our patrol activity, and our extra equipment will help us to catch these smugglers, and law breakers more often.
Everyone has been briefed as to what to expect, and also there are rewards for your hard work, which again has been relayed by myself to you all. I want all operatives to increase their activity and get up to the standard that I expect from you all.
Increasing the patrols will make sure we have a constant presence in every system, and if we are under pressure I have spoken to Spectre Shockwave, who is prepared to launch his pilots at short notice to deal with inividuals that we cannot.
Raptors ready ... Ships ready .... Go get those smugglers and law breakers.
Hoorah!
So here I am, minding my own business, Piloting a Pegasus transport on the Iridium run, when a Kusari Cruiser with strippers, synth gel and propaganda on board appears!
Code:
Imra)Askunu: Krumai: I demand an explanation of why you're here.
1st|PEGASUS-Starfall: Pilot: Well that seems self-evident!
Imra)Askunu: Krumai: Such ignoble desires. You are just a facet of human depravity.
1st|PEGASUS-Starfall: Pilot: We are transporting Iridium Ore to Liberty
Imra)Askunu: Krumai: Wandering into territories you have never claimed. That only furthers division and strife.
Arkinson_01: Pegasus you alright?
1st|PEGASUS-Starfall: Pilot: I am confused!
1st|PEGASUS-Starfall: Pilot: Aren't you Kusarians?
Imra)Askunu: Krumai: Your mind cannot think of the truth. I am a follower of Disani.
1st|PEGASUS-Starfall: Pilot: Aren't you in the same boat as us?
Imra)Askunu: Krumai: We have adapted and survived. Yet your kind does not.
1st|PEGASUS-Starfall: Pilot: Disani?
1st|PEGASUS-Starfall: Pilot: Is that some kind of...Shogun in Kusari?
Imra)Askunu: Krumai: Disani is Truth.
Imra)Askunu: Krumai: And you shall be feeling her warmth.
1st|PEGASUS-Starfall: Pilot: The High Congress is the truth too
1st|PEGASUS-Starfall: Pilot: what do you mean? Who is this Disani?
Imra)Askunu: Krumai: Truth. Laid down by the Light.
1st|PEGASUS-Starfall: Pilot: Maybe you can be more specific?
1st|PEGASUS-Starfall: Pilot: Is that your superior?
Imra)Askunu: Krumai: I have already explained to you. Disani is our term for Truth.
1st|PEGASUS-Starfall: Pilot: So truth you seek?
1st|PEGASUS-Starfall: Pilot: Well I am an open book!
Imra)Askunu: Krumai: Indeed. Truth that is pure and original to humankind's intentions.
1st|PEGASUS-Starfall: Pilot: not sure about humankind there feller, but my intention is to follow orders and get this Iridium back to Liberty
1st|PEGASUS-Starfall: safely
Imra)Askunu: Krumai: You serve a clearly decadent sense of organization that is Liberty.
1st|PEGASUS-Starfall: Is that somehow not the truth?
1st|PEGASUS-Starfall: I serve my CO!
1st|PEGASUS-Starfall: One Sly Quin
Imra)Askunu: Krumai: You have been following their lies, even as you misspell it.
1st|PEGASUS-Starfall: Well we all need a job don't we
Imra)Askunu: Krumai: Such is the human nature that needs to be purified.
Imra)Askunu: Krumai: I shall call on the will of Gish to show how purity is done.
1st|PEGASUS-Starfall: I have been born poor you see, the aftermath of the LA Droughts ruined my ancestral wealth
1st|PEGASUS-Starfall: So it made sense to join the Navy, get a steady paycheck, something to do
Imra)Askunu: Krumai: What's said is done. Now you shall feel the warmth.
1st|PEGASUS-Starfall: I don't know about all that big-picture stuff
1st|PEGASUS-Starfall: What do you mean? I am just a worker here pal
Imra)Askunu: Krumai: Human nature shall fold into Disani's truth. You shall be my next example.
Imra)Askunu: Krumai: Of wandering deep into our Lairs, I shall teach a lesson to you.
Imra)Askunu: Krumai: That is, by the Askunu. Purge the vessel.
1st|PEGASUS-Starfall: Pilot: Well the Core were the ones who sold this
Imra)Askunu: Krumai: Show them Disani's light!
Death: 1st|PEGASUS-Starfall was put out of action by Imra)Askunu (Gun).
I was at first confused but it's clear now - one of the strippers was called Disani, Askunu or something, and she couldn't allow her pimp to know she has been running around with this Krumai feller all over the place! The Cruiser opened fire at us, and I lost the Iridium!
It's not my fault really - I know it seems like I messed up again, and these things always happen to me - but you got to believe me! I don't do these things on purpose...who could have expected a Kusarian cruiser controlled by a stripper to take our Iridium...

SUBJECT: Insurgents show signs of life
Vespucci Heroes,
While on my forward command post aboard the Ohio I have received a distress call - The Insurgent Battlecruiser Herkermer.Homolka and Cruiser INS-Thunderdome have launched a daring attack on our positions. Seems like the Insurgency still has its fire burning. I have quickly assembled a skeleton crew and Comandeered the Bowman.
Crewman Robert Sanchez and our new Cadet Adam Lee were supporting the LNS-Storm. The result of the Battle?
Herkermer.Homolka Disabled and sent adrift
INS-Thunderdome Disabled and sent adrift
Crewman Robert Sanchez after heroic effort had his vessel disabled
LNS-Stormsuffered critical damage, about 0.5% of it's hull integrity was holding, but they prevailed when the dust settled and moved with haste to Ohio Battlegroup for emergency repairs
Cadet Adam Lee has jumped into the battle after joining us, showing excellent attitude and combat prowess, assisting the, in the end, victorious battle. He shows real promise!
We must not relent, the fight is not over yet - these fierce insurgents have shown us they are not yet broken. There is no doubt in my mind however that with heroes such as Sanchez, Lee and the Storm Crew we will protect Liberty in the end and emerge victorious.
As you will be all aware, the situation regarding the Zoner individuals has escalated some what. This will mean that all operations will be moved to West Point Military Academy, where our vessels can be launched from to keep the Pennsylvania system under observation.
All operatives will initiate vessels to West Point immediately and will conduct patrols within Pennsylvania as a matter of urgency along with your regular routine within Liberty space. Other 1st Armada assets will be moved closer to the area and stationed where necessary.
Under no circumstances do you engage these individuals or any part of the Zoner population within the area. Patrols will be initiated to hunt out any other individuals who are supplying the Zoners, and also we will need to make sure they have no way of making a base of operation. It is imperitive that we remain vigilant and also professional, and make sure we gather evidence that could secure more closely arranged investigations by other Armada assets.
Please remember, to gather evidence from your gun cams and make sure voice logs are recorded aswell if that is necessary.
Your new technology on your vessels will help you within all aspects of your patrols and I must insist you use it to gather the evidence you need.
