Let me start by saying that I fully understand High Command's decision to pass me up for promotion, as I haven't been regularly patrolling for some time now and presence on SKYPE communications has been cut back severely for numerous reasons.
I will attempt to work harder for Liberty and I hope today's report will reassure High Command that I can still serve Liberty to the fullest extent. Any further jobs that High Command is willing to give me can be forwarded to my Personal Messaging system.
>Pirate Ambush.
My patrol started with escorting a pirate out of New York, towards Texas. As we passed Norfolk shipyard, another contact appeared on scanners and this one was holding hostages. I ordered he cut his engines and release them. He didn't comply as we chased him towards the Texas jumpgate. Once there, he only released the Navy pilots and kept the Police hostage. As this was completely unacceptable, I tractored in the Navy pilots and chased the target to Texas.
Once there, I was ambushed by a bomber and Rogue Destroyer. I immediately ordered the Louisbourg to reroute to Texas and assist. Whilst waiting for the Louisbourg, I gave the pirates the chance to release the hostages and run while they still had the chance. They refused and the battle began once the Louisbourg had arrived.
A rather quick battle ensued, leaving one of the enemy bombers obliterated and the destroyer limping back to its base. The fighter was then targeted, however the Rogue soon saw he was completely outnumbered and made a quick retreat.
That wasn't the last I'd see those Rogues in this shift...
>Rheinland Warship [FOR HIGH COMMAND'S EYES ONLY].
The next order of business was a Rheinland gunboat reported directly outside Manhatten. I ordered the officers to keep it there until I arrived. En-route I was informed that the Captain of the warship had apparently won it in some sort of card game. Intrigued, I inquired more and found out he was now an enemy of Rheinland.
Knowing a Rheinland warship in the Navy's hands could be... beneficial to the war proceedings, I offered the Captain an option to contact myself over the public channels - Nowhere near trusting him with our private comms channels.
Officers in California had multiple contacts bearing down on them in California - Naturally I responded and ordered the rest of our fleet to move to Texas to intercept other pirates in the area, hoping this would push them back into their hideouts. Once I arrived in California, I was confronted by the same destroyer and multiple Rogue fighters.
Our backup arrived swiftly, however few allies were in fighter-class ships, providing the enemy with a distinct advantage. Well, the fighters had the advantage, not so much the Destroyer - Which was downed within minutes.
Eventually, after two LPI ships were destroyed, the pirates were neutralised leaving California safe once again.
>Pennsylvannia Disturbance.
Immediately after the California incident, I was required in Pennsylvannia due to a reported pirate disturbance. Myself, Captain Applegate and Officer Julie followed up on the report. On the Captain's wing, we headed around the nearby planet and pinpointed the pirates position. The smaller, Dagger-class ship, retreated, leaving only the transport for us to deal with. He failed to comply and was subsequently destroyed.
Cartel were then overheard entering the system and I ordered a couple more LPI there to pan out and search for those murderous scum. I lead a wing of fighters into the asteroid field, where the pirates were sure to be. Sure enough, they were spotted ganging up on a DXI bomber. Before we could assist, they'd destroyed the DXI pilot's ship and were retreating to some sort of base they must've constructed out of a large asteroid.
Pirate Ambush in California --CLASS 2 THREAT----NEUTRALISED--
Disturbance in Pennsylvannia --CLASS 3 THREAT----NEUTRALISED--
Cartel in Pennsylvannia --CLASS TWO THREAT----HOSTILES RETREATED--
>Commendations
Officer Julie was an ever-reliable pilot during the shift, providing excellent support when and where it was needed, following my orders exactly. Well done, officer.

This is Officer, and Second in Command, Allen Drake. The "Freedom" Assault Cruiser is currently stationed at Kodiak Research Station. Our turrets have been offline for some time from the last storm to pass through. While the rest of the ship has since been repaired of minor damages and is again operational, weapon's systems aside.
Now, on to the reason for this transmission. Whether or not it has been noticed by other agents, or pilots of the Liberty Navy, or even those of the LPI. The full notice has yet been documented officially. Director Krusa Corraine was declared Missing in Action two weeks ago. His last known location being in Omicron Delta. Other agents report that three Order Cruisers were in that very system at the time Director Corraine's ship dropped from the radar, however we're unsure if the Order and Krusa crossed paths.
Various Zoners claim that Krusa is alive and well. But everything else says otherwise.
Due activitys in my personal life back on planet LA and my assignment aboard the LNS-Black.Hills i was not able to fly for my squadron on standard rotation.
Last night patrol i reported in and was immediatly trown into action.
Reports were sketchy about the forces.
So Admiral Hale commanded the BS Durango and the carrier Aurora along with a few squadrons of bombers and fighters.
We patrolled california system for a long time without notiching a single enemy ship.
Than suddenly a hacker appeared on our scanners, the admiral ordered us to follow it on maximum scanner range to allow the hacker to lead us to the main force.
And so he did.
We offerd the hackers a full and total surrender option but as expected..... [offer to surrender] they refused.
The enemy force was iff i recal correctly:
1 Spyglass battleship.
1 outcast destroyer.
Several gunboats.
Several bomber and fighter squadrons.
Suddenly all hell broke loose when the capital ships started firing there main batterys.
The squadrons raced towards eachother to minimisze the distance fast and defend there base of operations.
Snacs and torps were launched and soon the batttleship and destroyer were destroyed. [guncamera Spyglass]
I managed to launch a snac on a gunboat which ripped its hull apart in seconds.
Seems i hitted the nose section wich created a cascade effect. [exploding gunboat]
Well the battle was over pretty fast.
After this battle i had to land to reload and rearm and do some minor repairs.
[font=Microsoft Sans Serif][Begin Transmission: [color=#33FF33]Yes/<strike>No</strike>]
[font=Microsoft Sans Serif] Right, not a lot happened today, got myself into 2 engagements. I rendezvoused with =LSF=Reaper and a freelancer Reni Hanako. We found a rogue bomber and an outcast VHF holding the USI Detroit hostage. We ordered the ships to leave, however they refused and began to fire torpedoes and anti matter cannons at the ship. Reaper and the freelancer took care of the bomber and covered the Detroit, I managed to take out the Outcast VHF.
Afterwards, we had a report that there was a pirate by the name Jayde Wolffe in Texas. Reaper and the freelancer engaged the pirate after it refused arrest. An ion wave however hit me and disabled my ship (//lagged out). By the time I regained control of my ship, I was informed Reaper had been shot down. By the time I arrived on the scene, the freelancer, Reni, was taken out. I attempted to dogfight Jayde Wolffe however I was forced to flee after I ran out on shields batteries and nanobots. I managed to tractor in both the freelancer and Reaper and had them sent to medical in the Battleship Missouri. It appears they'll both recover in no time.
Today I was returning from Planet Houston, Texas System after several small skirmishes during the past few days with the Rheinland Military. During my way back to Norfolk Shipyard, New York System I spotted several Liberty Rogue and Hellfire Legion members on my scanners. Two other pilots, LPI Lauren Myers accompanied by the Freelancer Reni Hanako were already at the scene, however on a stand-by mode near the Battleship Missouri. I immediately alerted nearby lawful vessels for assistance, surprisingly enough Commodore Robinson answered the call, heh now I know how to get her attention, just ring the bell.
Moving on... several of the hostiles got tired of our defensive position near the Battleship Missouri and decided to head back, however, two pilots were still standing waiting for us to engage. One of those two pilots was a Hellfire Legion member named Ned Ballantine, who would prove to be a fearsome opponent until the very end of the battle.
During the progress of the skirmish the enemy received back-up of a size of three pilots. However, these three pilots were either not coordinated or decided simply to assist at uneven times and thus they came one-by-one which greatly reduced the level of the oncoming threats. With the vital support of LPI Lauren Myers and Freelancer Reni Hanako, myself and Commodore Robinson managed to take out all hostiles, however during the process Commodore Robinson's vessel was shot down by the skillful Hellfire Legion member Ned Ballantine. A pilot who I almost fell prey to as well but with some much-needed luck I managed to take down his Sabre with a Supernova shot.
I regretfully inform you all, that I am taking a leave for the moment.. my Aunt is deeply sick, and.. the docters aren't sure she'll be making it through, and as much as I would like to stay and continue my duties, my duty is to my family first, and my nation later.
If you wish to boot me out of the Navy, then I will accept my fate, however, I am going nonetheless.
~Ensign Urielle Stelvin
~Transmission Ended.
OOC: To clarify, I've lost interest in the game, I'll be coming back eventually though.
After several more patrols I have now reached the 8 hour mark for becoming an Ensign (Databox record 1). I wish to be allowed to purchase either a Guardian or Avenger and be invited into the lawful chats.

My patrol began this evening with a *CLASSIFIED* violator attacking Executive Deputy Director Deus's ship in the *CLASSIFIED* Zone. Upon arrival I found a ship with the designation "Solstice" in an IMG Bomber in combat with Deus, after a short battle the fool chose suicide in the mines rather than face justice! I trust this is the end of this maniac as I doubt his pod could survive the security mine deployment field.
Moving on Deus, Reaper and myself chased off a VR Xavier Fierceshot in mid piracy, due to temporal anomalies we decided to break pursuit and let him leave, sadly the fiend claimed that 35 Liberty pilots would now lose their lives as a result of our mercy which again shows the depravity of these mother frackers.
Near the Colorado JG in New York, 3 aliens were encountered, Deus took out the first one who was attempting to use the JG as cover, at least we know the aliens interlopers know what fear is, the next two aliens Ra'Sha and Ranger both fell to our combined assault with a missile barrage from myself finishing both craft.
Reaper headed to the bar at this stage leaving myself and Deus on duty. Reports of an Outcast Tridente Gunship BG|Torpedo led us into the junk field near Manhattan, sure enough we found the intrerloper and despatched with him with the help of PVT Dice and Nolan Wolf. It was Nolan Wolfe who finished the Cardamine breathing invader with a well placed SN.
Finally and astonishingly, an Outcast Gunship named Outcasts-SajuukX was reported pirating not 2K from Planet Manhattan itself! In disbelief we headed to the scene to discover it was true! After a short battle the Gunship fell to our combined assault.
