Comm ID: LtCmd. Adamson - LNS Thor's Hammer/SA-Orion
Location: Planet Denver - Colorado System
While on a scouting missionin in my fighter, SA-Milrick advised that the hated Prospector and his cohorts were in Colorado. I reversed direction and proceeded to engage. Prospector (Rouge Gunboat) and Benadotte (Eagle fighter) caught me off guard over Denver and as I tried to make it to the rally point my fighter was hit and I was forced to eject. Lucky for me I had already contacted the Hammer and she managed to pick me up and we engaged again. We were joined by SA-Milrick, SA-Kress, SA-Pvt Mcduff, SA-Shadow Dragon and F.E.A.R. Ardent The Xeno's were joined by Mila (Eagle fighter) and the battle commenced. F.E.A.R. Ardent flew very well and was a credit to his unit, keeping the gunboat's attention diverted and defeating three bandits. Mcduff splashed two targets, and Kress killed Bernadotte and I put the nail in the coffin of Prospector. We recieved some minor damage to the port side sensor aray and some small hull buckling but unscathed for the most part. A salute to all the fine pilots that fought today. They were incredible. LtCmd. Adamson out.

Smuggling activity seems to be on the rise in Liberty despite increased SA patrols. Earlier on yesterday in Texas we (Cmdr Razer and I) ran into several Oucast and Xeno Cruisers and Bombers. We fought them to a stand still, but were outgunned in the end and had to disengage. Later that night, upon orders from Commander Razr I moved to intercept a known smuggler Asgidi. Sensing we were unto him he setup an amush mid trade lane.
Upon sensor pickup I exited the trade lane and engaged him immediatly. The fight only lasted about 2 minutes when he decided he'd had enough and made a run for it. I and Cmdr Razr chased him all over Tex before loosing him through several jumps leading to Magellan. Boy he sure knows how to run.
Shortly afterward another known smuggler was ordered to halt, failing to do so Cmdr Razr ordered me to engage him. The transport was destroyed in short order giving me my 5th kill. Although a transport is not much to brag about.
The last engagement of the night turned into another running fight. 2 Xeno's engaged Cmdr Razer and I. After a 3 minute engagement I claimed my 5th kill. Cmdr Razer engaged a cruiser and brought it down as well.
I cannot finish this report though unless I complete the details. Cmdr Razr assigned me escort duty to new trader Kestrel. Upon engagement from a pirate Asgindi, I was unable to protect her sufficiently and she died. The pirate placed himself between Kestrel and I so I was unable for a bout 30 secs to get a clean shot without fear of hitting Kestrel. She ejected safely, and I tractored her and and took her to base for 1st aid. She reccovered well but my ego was destroyed.
I'm sorry for my failure sirs:(.
I will consider myself on probation until ordered otherwise from the Command Staff.
This is an outrage! While we were enroute to intercept Prospector in the Colorado System, I stopped the HF Gunboat Conflageration (who was red in my HUD) and told him to vacate Liberty Space. I did not fire upon him. SA Milrick informed me that we are neutral with the HF so I let it go. Again I did not fire upon him. I finally caught Prospector south of Pueblo and found the HF ship activly helping him and offering a reward for my destruction. Milrick, Kress and I engaged Prospector as the HF ship did not want to get dirty. This is where it gets interesting. [color=#FF0000]A Zoner tagged Liberty Dreadnaught, the Ven'Gyr insinuated himself smack in the middle of the combat zone. And without warning began firing on my ship claiming I fired on him first with stray fire. Unfortunatly this sneak attack damaged my ship and I was unable to continue the fight. I find out later that the Dreadnaught was captained by an HF officer, and the whole attack was coordinated. It is clear to me that the HF have opened hostilities and as such I say we burn Vespuchi to the ground. Request instruction. Adamson out.

It is true, HF attacked the SA, but only in self-defense. Your pilot deliberately shot at the dreadnought, and then calls it a stray shot? Very funny, Admiral. We were simply patrolling in Colorado, and got caught up in this whole mess. Please don't let this get out of hand, apparently it was a simple miscommunication. We apologize for any loss of life by our hands.
Kaine out.
I am a long-absent Supreme Commander, Executive Commander, Grand Admiral, Fleet Admiral, and Captain in the mighty Hellfire Legion. I have returned, and am on an urgent mission from Drake Thastus to return the Legion to its former glory, and to claim the galaxy for its own. Only then will I be able to rest.
RP Story (Still deciding whether or not to finish)
There's no need for the probation that small failure was nothing the trader was refunded and the perpatrators of the crime will pay dearly just use this lesson as a reminder as you strive to become a better pilot.
Jamie old chap, small problem ? Did the last payment not reach its intended destination ? Hate to see one of
your over enthusiastic officers destroying a cargo sort of belonging to you. Get me drift ... Any losses would
of course come out of your end of the deal.
I'll do me best to keep everyone off the trade lanes now, around sensitive areas, but a bit of relaxing from
your guys would help. Maybe be a bit more generous with your cut, grease a few lowly palms, makes the
wheels industry turn a little smoother. More product slips in, the profit increases, you get richer.
Need I say more ?
Anyway, good talking to you. How is the wife ? Send my regards to the rest of the office wallahs over there.
Remind me to slip a case or two of the finest whatever in the post for their pleasure.
Always welcome over here in the bar, just pop everything on me tab.
See ya soon.

You fired upon me. I don't know if you intended it or not. I warned you, that next time I will open fire. You and another SA fighter fired again. I returned fire. I am not a HF officer, my brother is, Lt. Aaron Frost. In case you missed, I stated that i was looking for a NY jump hole in the area. Of course I had to move.
I am sorry I had to engage you. Just please don't empty your barrels in my direction.
Well there was some wild patroling today first off LT.s Hank McDuff, Kress Ana and myself were chasing decimator around Colorado trying to prevent him from meeting with waterspout which wasn't sucessful but before he did meet waterspout against my orders Lt. McDuff went to engage waterspout I saw no reason to punish him because the result of him disobeying me was the cost of a new ship as he was quickly disposed of. Decimator however was found at houston and was engage by Ana Kress and myself he was a formidable foe as he tagged Ana and Kress before i arrived when i got on the seen he was swinging and dodging all over the place so to make him less threatening upon taking his shields i fired a firestalker and 2 CDs blowing off all but one gun and all his wings his eagle looked like a brown patriot that was on fire then i finished the job. Waterspout unfortunately got away. I also believe we are on the brink of war an HF pilot uninvited stepped into the battle area he didn't engage only jeered but he didn't leave when asked until i was about to bring force into the matter.
