Fellow warriors,
Today was a good day for the Hellfire Legion. I began my combat patrol searching for those traitorous Navyfolk, when i came upon a Guardian, with Navy ID/IFF, after a moment of confirming his identity as a Navyman, a =LSF= agent came out of nowhere and attacked without any warning!
Thankfully, i had my shields and weapons charged, for just an occasion. The fight between myself and this =LSF= agent -very- quickly escalated into a full on furball, with almost 12 ships all focusing their fire on my poor, little Sabre.
Well, it seems that these lawful dogs had forgotten that i was an enemy from Hell, and i brought as many down with me as i could. The fight lasted for a good 25 minutes, where i scored 6 kills against the ever growing swarm of enemies. At one point, there were 10 fighters, 2 Gunboats, and a Cruiser, all focusing on me! But my superior training and skills quickly put the first 3 down. Then, a rather odd LPI officer called off the gunboats and cruiser, possibly due to the high risk of friendly fire, and the constantly exploding cruise disruptors messing with missile guidance systems.
Then, my supplies running low, barely staying alive as more and more enemies sought my head, amongst the flying missiles and spent ordanance littering the battlefield, i managed to bag 3 -more- kills, before my ammunition ran dry, and i was out of Cruise Disruptors and Mines. At which point, my saving grace consisting of a hastily assembled fleet, with none other than Adrian Morton, the Lusty.Duck, and Antares at the lead.
My ship was eventually shot down, in what i blame to be a cooling rig malfunction, due to the extreme stress provided by extended combat (//hardware lag. meh). But the Legion stood victorious, amongst a pile of wreckage of those pathetic Liberty folks.
On a side note, my guncam malfunctioned on two of the kills, and thus they were not recorded. I do not recall their names, as it was a rather hectic fight.
Safe flying, and happy hunting, brothers and sisters.

[i]Once again, i come with more wonderful news!
During our daily combat patrol, i was honored to fly with Adrian Morton and Jason Moore. We began by attacking the West Point Military Acadmy, where we were set upon by wave after wave of foolish Police officers, Liberty Navymen/women, and Agents of the LSF.
All were quickly subdued by our superior tactics, firepower, and skills. Even those pesky Liberators were brought down in due time.
Hell, one of the Freelancers who foolishly attacked us, came back 2 more times! Must be one rich fellow to loose all those very expensive and hgihly coveted Raven Claws. Each of us got a chance to engage this pest.
Ahh yes, and dont let me forget a very helpful Lane Hacker, by the name of Allwood. He came in and gave us a hand until a rather unfortunate accident occured, and he blew his own ship up with a Nuclear Mine.
Well, enough of my yapping, here are the guncam shots from the fight!
Thats all for tonight. I am about to hit the bunks and get a wink of sleep!

[i]Well folks, another day, another combat patrol.
And boy, was this one both a downer and an upper. At first, Adrian Morton and I went out for a bit of a peek at West Point, where we were mobbed by at least 8-10 Liberty Armed Forces vessels, mostly of the =LSF= designation. They kept calling for more an more backup, and after nailing a few, Adrian and i were both taken down by the torrent of missiles and Nomad guns.
Then, a bit later, i head out alone, to find two Xenos fighting against some Liberty lawfuls, so i decided to hop in. I killed 2 Liberty Navyboys(only caught one with guncam), then i ended up killing the two xenos with the help of our Hacker friend, Allwood. Unfortunatly, my mines detonated in my hold, and i ended up in an escape pod, heading back to the LR Destroyer at very high speed.
This Adrian Morton fellow is not bad at all, he is definatly a good addition to our army of darkness.
I am currently up to 24 kills towards my Ace I award.
Good evening soldiers.
After much discussion it has been decided that two men in our midst have shown to possess certain exceptional qualities,
qualities which are needed in the Special Operations and Armed Reconnaisance Division.
It is with great pride that I can now offer Lieutenant Mahnke and Pilot First Class Morton a position in the SAD.
This offer exempts both men from meeting the usual requirements.
I would like to give you both a warning however:
The SAD is not for everybody.
You can expect to be put out on high-risk assignments on a daily basis, during which you will have to operate with minimum support, or without any at all.
Not to mention without any intelligence support either, as it is the SAD which is responsible for providing it.
In short, you will be doing things that are too risky to be done by anyone else, and if all goes as planned, you will rarely get any recognition for the work you've done out of the public's view.
It is work which will aid in bringing the legion closer to its goals, work which will save the lifes of our men on the battlefield.
If you are up for this task, I expect you to reply to this message as soon as possible.
Regards,
Grace Callahan, Star Colonel of the Hellfire Legion.

Star Colonel.
This would be an honour. Recognition has never been something I have sought. I am pleased I've been of service enough to warrant this in my short time with the Legion.
The tasks assigned to me will be done to the best of my ability.

Done.
Very well both.
I suggest you pack your gear and get your personal belongings now.
A transport will bring you to Monterrey Base where you'll be given your next orders.
I've already arranged for your ships to be moved aswell, so we'll be seeing eachother there, Star Captains.

It was a quiet afternoon in the New York system, but not without incident entirely.
After a trip through the Manhatten debris feild, I encountered a rather balsy young Navy pilot.
Unfortunately for him, he was not skillful enough to back his words up...
Not long after, whilst on my way to dock at the Rogue Destroyer, another young punk (this time a Bounty Hunter) informed me that he could make good money by cashing in my head...
He was indeed, a 'Fish out of water'...
This concludes a relitavely uneventful afternoon in New York

Well, decided to take a walk around New York. Met a total of 3 LN fighters. One was splashed after a minimal scuffle, the first pulled out due to engine trouble, and the last was, get this, Vice Admiral David Hale himself. He could barely get my shields, but he got 'em when it counted, and one of my nuclear mines got us both right outside Fort Bush. Well, not right outside, but close enough. In the general vicinity.

And so, in comes my report.
Looking to mess up the lives of these Liberty Navyboys again, I flew into New York from California and looked around for something to kill. From system-wide comms, I heard there was an engagement currently happening, somewhere near Manhattan, so I flew over there to try to check it out.
Arriving, I saw "Polar", a Liberty Rogue Guard Greyhound handling a Havok2 bomber, piloted by a certain "Sage.Marik". Also nearby were the LNS-Ohio, a Cruiser, and the LNS-Dawn, a Gunboat.
I was curious to see if they'd have the decency not to attempt to hurt a little 'ol Sabre, and to my surprise, they didn't attack. So, enjoying the show Polar and Marik put up, I taunted the two capitals, themselves being merely meters away from my ship.
After what seemed like forever, Polar retreated, leaving Marik half empty on nanobots and shield batteries. I saw a chance to make a mess, and I engaged Marik. Beating the bomber slowly and lusciously enjoying every minute of it, Jack Bauer, who appeared to be an Liberty Police officer came around. In want of a more interesting fight, I taunted him to come in, which he did.
10 minutes of combat ensued, well, 10 minutes or less, I don't really keep track of the time, and I managed to make mincemeat out of Marik's ship. Turning to Bauer, I then got ready to do the same to him.
After 5 minutes, his ship was space debris, much to the applause of a certain Finn Aidan, not that I really cared about him. Not really satisfied with my work, but in lack of more targets, I just flew over to the Rogue Destroyer along the California Gate - West Point lane, and sat down to get a drink.
