After I ended my shift in the recruitment office on Zvezdny Gorodok, I received word that someone had sabotaged the engines of our Very Heavy Fighter prototype on Zhukovsky. I proceeded to the station to interrogate all of the crew who worked on the ship.
As it turned out, Comrade-Lieutenant Commander Razin's suspicions were correct. I uncovered five of Yue Fei's supporters who had managed to infiltrate the design and maintenance crew for the SV-151 Gamma. These treacherous swine were summarily put to death.
Proceeding with my investigations, I vetted those assigned to the Alpha. As I had thought, that snake Yue Fei had somehow sneaked three of her gang of counter-revolutionary slime into the crew responsible for the Alpha. They had wired nuclear devices into the ship to explode the minute the prototype's systems were activated. Had their sabotage gone unnoticed, the Alpha could have destroyed much of Zhukovsky Station the next time it was turned on. The traitors responsible were thrown out of the airlock to die in space. Eventually, their bodies will drift into Jiangxi's gravity well, and our Marines training on the surface will have a meteor shower to light their way.
Today, a mighty blow was struck against the enemies of the People. Those vipers will think twice before defying the will of the Coalition again!

Hail, Comrades,
I would like to start this message by thanking you for my promotion. I hope I must not do any more acts of this nature, despite the thrill I get for them. It is an honor to be a Lieutenant of the Revolution.
I had heard of this Hispania Memorium requirement before in rumors in Kalashnikov's. I didn't honestly believe that all new members had to do it. Shows how dense I can be. I mounted up into my newly assigned Insurgent and grabbed Ben Warner by the scruff of his neck. If I were to do this, I would have a familiar face with me.
We departed from Zvezdny Gorodok and hastily made our way through the Omega systems, enacting a comms blackout upon entrance of Omicron Eta. After careful navigation through the minefield, we moved above the designated flight plan in order to avoid detection. Luckily, no Outcast vessels entered our sensors range.
Omicron Alpha seemed rather desolate as we exited the jump hole. The comm traffic was non-existant and no vessel was within defense range of the jump hole to Eta. Once again, down we went; continuing on a parallel path in accordance to the normal flight plane. Quickly, we crept up under the wreck, hastily scrawling our marks and then hoofing it to Malta for a pick up.
It is my regret to inform High Command that our cake, albeit delicious, was denied due to the fact that we as the SCRA had entered it. Luckily, we picked up both the cake and the forces we had placed on Malta in order to enter said cake into the bake-off.
As quickly as we had entered, we had left the system, towing a rather hideous Tridente behind us for two systems before it simply got bored and let us alone. The recovered soldiers and cake are now on Zvezdny Gorodok; the soldiers happily with their comrades and the fate of the cake: unknown.

Comrades,
I have yet more bad news to impart. Yet again my partisan lies strewn across a system, and I wait for another to be commissioned for my use.
It all started so well, I had received my orders to patrol the Omegas and report in if trouble was found.
I set out from Zvezdny and made my way into Omega 5, here trouble was found. A corsair IFF'd virage. I asked him his purpose and he was silent. I told him to talk, he stayed silent. I decided to open fire to loosen his lips, he stayed silent. Only when he had run to the safety of Cadiz did he start to flap his gums talking about the Revolution in the least glorious terms. i refuted his every claim and eventually he got tired.
One other Corsair was there also, and he issued threats to leave for a while, even when Lt. Broch arrived with Comrade Warner. However only when they had left to deliver their cargo did the Corsair decide that attacking was his option to choose.
The fight was going well until i suffered a technical glitch which caused my ship to fail to respond to commands for the split second the filthy dog required to turn it into scrap.
I have been returned to Zvezdny.
Today was not a good day.
Sub- Lieutenant Litvenko out.

A video appears of John Holliday, quite tired and visibly distraught
Greetings, Revolutionaries,
Forgive my appearance. The last couple of days have been rather rough. Just so that you all know, there has been a leadership change in TAZ. Malcalypse has returned from a long Sabbatical and has taken his old job back. That won't change any of our dealings and he is fully briefed on them all.
I will be staying on as ambassador so I will still keep a watch of our agreements and such so our relationship shouldn't change. I will probably be making a visit in a day or two.
As TAZ has been banned from Liberty space, we are scrambling to alter some routes of trade so things are a bit chaotic so please, bear with us.

"Comrade Grand Admiral...I would just like say that it is a great honor to be returning to duty, to continue doing my part in spreading our word and crippling our enemies. During my extended medical absence all I wanted was to get back into uniform and back into the bomber provided to me by our glorious forces so that I may continue to be used as an instrument of the revolution, of our cause, so that one day sooner rather than later I might see our glorious forces succeed in their goals throughout Sirius, this is my dream and I am glad to have returned to it."
Katya snaps a salute toward the video monitor.
"Before I close the link, I would also like to formally request a transfer to our Reconnaissance Squadron, as I believe that I might be quite useful there. For the Revolution!"
Katya snaps another salute toward the monitor and takes a step back as the screen fades to black.
By my authority, and by order of the Commissariat.
For completing the Hispania Challenge, and making the pilgrimage to see with your own eyes, and touch with your own hands, the wreck of the Hispania Sleeper ship.
I award Lt. Angie Broch and Sub-Lt. Ben Warner, the Hispania Memorium!
There is a historical record of you in the ranks of the SCRA, a hundred years from now Nuggets just like you, will make the same journey to look upon your names alongside those of the great Heroes of the Revolution!

Good day, comrade.
Sub-Lieutenant Litvenko, it is a fighter not a pinata! You are supposed to dodge weapons fire, not fly straight into it! Honestly, I know the Partisan is being retired from service but do you single-handedly have to destroy every last one we have in stock?

Today I was ordered to go and take pictures of Planet New Tokyo, because apparently the entire Recon squadron had their day off. I took the Omega-Sigma route to Kusari. It was uneventful up until Sigma-17, where I ran into a problem. His name was Frostbite, and he was a Bounty Hunter. A persistent little bastard - he tailed me all the way through Sigma-19 and Honshu, after a bounty someone had apparently placed on our heads. This is him pursuing me through Honshu:
Despite my best efforts to lose him, he followed me into New Tokyo, where I was forced to fight him due to a Kusari Police patrol disrupting my cruise engines. I landed many good hits on him, dropping his shield a few times, but my supply of batteries and nanobots was depleted from the radiation in Omega-41 and a Bounty Hunter patrol in Omicron Theta, and I eventually went down. Fortunately, one of our sleeper cells picked up my distress beacon and arranged my travel back to Rheinland secreted in a Samura transport, which was "conveniently" raided by Hessians, who took me back to Omega-52.
Before he caught up to me, I did manage to take two pictures of the planet, one from a distance and one from up close. They are attached below:
Comrades, these Bounty Hunters are nothing but a pack of dishonourable pigs and war profiteers. When the glorious Red Dawn sweeps over Sirius, we must make sure they are the first to face the firing squads. Until then, we must continue to exterminate them at every opportunity. In addition, we must find out who placed this contract on us, and bring down the wrath of the People on his head, so others shall learn the folly of such an action.

Comrade, it is a pleasure to see your return from medical leave. Oddly enough, we seem to be getting a lot of that lately. With regards to your request for a posting to recon squadron, I have spoken to Commissar-Captain Totenkopt, and I believe he wishes the address you himself.
For the Revolution! McIntosh out.

Comrade, I realize that you are new to this, but the treasury department does not have unlimited resources, and printing more money is not the solution. Do try not to lose the next ship, or Commissar-Captain Katz may have to do something permanent and painful to you.

Comrade, I have flown alongside you on many occasions, and I believe you shall do well in my squadron. Your new callsign is Recon Five, remember to chance your lights.

For being such a pest, and annoying other members of the Commissariat, Vicenta Gonzales is hereby awarded a “Swift kick up the backside” from me.
I will also present you with the silver crossbow bolt, to forever remind you that the Balkan’s were indeed a scary place, somewhere between the fiery pits of damnation and Harlem on the list of all time scariest places known to mankind. Next time you are presented with one, it will be delivered point first from a crossbow!
