Order Science Division Science Vessel Alexandria Kyle & Zimmer in command
::Mission:Break into Manhattan's universities secure research data vault ::Mission status:Mission completed.
Good day, Kyle here, in command of Alexandria. We thought this is necessary, that we might have a better look, what our liberty 'friends', are focused on. Well... It was worth it.
At 22:00 SMT, 3 research ships, escorted by 3 Order crafts, undocked Toledo, and moved to New York across Alaska system. Everything was quiet, there was no hostile contacts.
Docking Manhattan was tricky part, at that point, we needed to avoid detection. Alexandria approached planet, pretending to be Bretonian Medical Freighter, and soon, docking rights were granted.
As soon as it landed to Manhattan, there were already few people awaiting for Alexandria's landing, to escape liberty, and this was right choice at right time.
Data from planet was downloaded into Ithacha's memory, scientists were aboard, plus, Scientists we picked up at planet managed to grab few artifacts, they were working on.
Getting out was a bit of problem, because they might figure out what is going on, so we tried to be as fast as possible, and we succeeded. We hooked up with rest of wing, and moved to Minor.
If I might add, when we returned near Toledo, there was one morph, flying in close proximity to Planet, like trying to learn, study. As Science Division is superior on subjects like that, we wanted to examine it better, but we got negative response from Mister Barnes, aboard Waratah. He showed hostility towards Science Division members, ordering us to get that thing out of system. Since there was no superior officer from Primary Fleet, we managed to get morph out of system, without being able to do anything about it, we even didn't manage to scan it. But however, mission was successful.

Greetings.
Firstly, contrary to Major Hunters report, I did return to Omicron Minor safely after the operation to gain access to the University of Manhatten's data vault. I suffered a complete engine failure in New York and was rendered immobile for some time but I manage to fix the problem and return without incident some time after the other agents had returned.
That brings me on to the meat of this report, which documents the activities in Omicron Minor from this past couple of hours.
First, my wingman and I Dan 'Firefly' Moreton encountered what at first appeared to be an LSF vessel Bob Emerson. Upon closer inspection however, it became clear that the vessel was registered with a freelancers licence. Very strange considering the vessel being used and the IFF being broadcast. Furhter inspection still revealed that the vessel was making use of Nomad technology. We immediately demanded the vessel to land on Toledo to remove the thuster and turn it over to the Order. The vessel then fled, much aided by a sudden isolated ion storm that rendered my ship inoperable for around a minute. (// in other words, I accidentally pulled out my internet cable. Not my finest moment.)
On returning, I discovered that Moreton and other Order vessels had persued the vessel to Omicron 92 where I rejoined the chase. We were however unsuccessful in catching up with the ship and it fled to Tohoku. The pilots idiotic running comentary on his plans indicated he was heading for Blood Dragon space. No doubt our new allies will catch this fool and deal with him more harshly than we were intending to. Can't say he doesn't deserve it.
However I believe we should mark this vessel as kill on sight from now on in case he survives his journey and returns to our space.
Shortly after this incident we detected the Junker transport Chatan. After stopping the vessel and demanding to know its business it quickly became clear that the vessel was smuggling a large amount of artifacts into Liberty. We demanded the vessel drop its cargo and after several warnings, it attempted to give us the slip by dropping a single unit of its cargo and activating its cruise engines. Needless to say we were not amused by this and so I gave the order to scrap the vessel. Which we promptly did. Samples from the cargo were then recovered and delivered to the Isis for analysis. Whatever we could not recover was destroyed at the scene.

Today we had a long day with numerous attempts to check if we're ready to intercept any enemy
in the Minor space. First of all, an artifact smuggler has spotted right near the planet Toledo.
He had a Freelancer ID with no IFF and was carrying an artifact inside his ship.
I had chased his small and agile ship all around the Minor (with the help of Order|Stingray)
and then jumped to Alaska right after him. Then i have contacted the Liberty Navy forces
and asked for a support to stop the smuggler. Thanks to the heavy assault carrier LNS-Michigan
we got him right at the NY Jumpgate. I have tracked the artifact and brought it to Minor to the Sacred.Angel Osiris for a research.
The next problem was a lonely Corsair ship, that was insolent enought to enter Omicron-100.
I was on a patrol with agent Brian Scott at the moment and we used to detect him in a minute
and escort out of the Order space. I know that we're allowed to engage any ships, that enter Omicron-100 without a proper permission, but I decided to let him go.
I think we have to make a list of KOS ships and check if any of them enter the Order space.
A little trouble was caused by secondary fleet pilot Heinek Star, who used to attack
a OSD vessel with a broken IFF module. That's nothing to talk about this accident.
It was a mistake and everything ended rather peaceful.
After that our long range scanners have picked up several groups of Bounty Hunters'
destroyers, that ran into the Minor. Our heavy vessels have made
a scrap metal of them in few minutes. Nothing to talk about, just a nice shot:
At the evening we found a morph, flying around the system for its own reasons.
I got the information i needed and came back to Isis for a report
and the young nomad was scanned and guided by the OCV-Sajuuk.
At the late evening i got a report about some crazy guy with lulwut?-syndrome,
flying around the Alaska jump hole.
That was all for today.

I jumped in for a patrol about a hour ago after I got a distress signal from Ensigns Fredericks and Corbin. They reported sighting of a Bounty Hunter Thresher class destroyer near Freeport 11 where they were conducting routine scans. I flew in there with my bomber along side Captain Magnus of the Order|CV Kuk Hathor. Order|Stingray reinforced us as well a little while later with his bomber. Once we got there, we sat around the NFZ for a while until the enemy destroyer left, at which point Sgt. callsign Stingray put me in charge of a patrol operation throughout Delta.
I ordered everyone to form up on my craft and we first headed over to the Kappa jump hole. Once we were near the jump hole, we detected another Bounty Hunter on our scanners. Stingray asked me what we should do, and I promptly mentioned that our fight was against the Nomads, not humans. We ignored the Bounty Hunter, who did the same.
After that, I set way points around Planet Tuvulu. Stingray noticed that Ensign Corbin was missing. It turned out that he had jumped across to the other side of the Kappa hole by mistake, and we waited a few minutes till he got there. I guess I should've relayed those orders much more clearly to prevent something like this. We, or Ensign Corbin could've been ambushed by our enemies in a situation like that.
We continued our patrols after we regrouped with Ensign Corbin. Tuvulu was clear so we headed back to the Omicron Minor jump hole where we were ambushed by Nomads and Bounty Hunters. During this time my ship was hit by an Ion wave and I lost connection with my neural net interface, so I had assumed we were engaged by Nomads and such judging by what the other pilots said. Once we were clear, we proceded to jump to the other side. Unfortunately, I jumped first straight after giving the Order. Captain Magnus corrected me and told me to wait until everyone else was done jumping, and then to move on ahead. Once we jumped to the other side, we were hit by some Nomads and Bounty Hunters, but we managed to take care of them. After that, we gave the clear ahead for the Kuk to jump over to the other side.
After we were done fighting the nomads at the Delta hole in Minor, Stingray asked me what we should do when encountering Nomads. I replied saying that we should take them out as fast as possible and then bring in the remaining nomad materials to Planet Toledo where they would be handed over to the Order Research Division for, well, research.
We were hit by a few more nomad and bounty hunter patrols as we went along but they were nothing to serious. After we were done with the patrols, Stingray dismissed us and I docked to Planet Toledo to write up this report.

Yesterday, while helping the newly procured vessel of the 42nd Recon with missions, major Jeremy Hunter
of the OCV-Ghost.Eye ordered us to pursue a supposedly infected RM operative Hans Eckhardt. We tracked
him down to the Omega-55 system, where we took scans of his ship, revealing alien tech and liquid
cardamine onboard. On our way back, two Outacst gunboats tried to lure one of our escorts, Fenix_Tarikat,
back to O-55, supposedly showing him "secrets" and "ancient artifacts". He encountered engine problems
and had to dock at Cadiz. When we returned to Minor, I detected a LSF vessel Kilo.Four, who refused
to stop for a cargo scan. After disrupting his engines, scans revealed Order personell and Nomad remains
onboard. I pursued him and demanded release of his cargo, but he escaped to Delta. I continued my pursuit
with help of another Order gunboat, OCV_Firefly_II. The LSF vessel continued to evade us, and at the
Freeport, several Bounty Hunter capital ships joined the fray. We couldn't do much against such overwhelming
odds, so we returned to Minor, followed by the BHG. After they entered Minor, I notified the TCG, and they
assisted us in repelling the assailants. No allied casualties, 2 Hunter vessels destroyed(1 destroyer, 1
bomber). Visual data can be found here.
Today, we mobilized a wing to head out into Kusari, it consisted of me, Sergeant Jose,
Ensign Fredericks, and Captain Magnus on board the Kuk, along with Commander Ciana. We
moved to Tohoku, meeting few contacts along the way.
We had a brief talk with SCRA pilot Jayce Brooks, nothing of interest. Once we
reached Ryuku base, we met up with a Dragon pilot, Teraku Oshiro. Was very
cooperative, it bodes well for our alliance. Captain Magnus informed us of
various Kusari Navy ships flying around with nomad equipment, which the
Dragon confirmed, they're called Aoi Iseijin by them. We did a recon of the fringe
systems of Honshu and hokkaido, which yielded no results.
Along the way, I recieved a transmission from an unknown source.
The source identified itself as Rachel Baker of Liberty Navy Primary.
How she got my neural net codes, I don't know, but anyways.
She informed me of a renegade navy craft in the region of the
omicrons, for which I am grateful. I'm sure we'll hear from this vessel shortly.
The main point of this report is, I think we need a wing
operating from the Dragon bases, which have been opened for us. It
will be a gruelling assignment, because you will be asked for defense
duties in minor as often as not, but it is needed.
Also, if you see a vessel by the tag of LNS-Cole, please guide
it back to liberty space, but if it is seen posing a threat....you are authorised to destroy it.

Subject: Re: Wing stationed with Blood Dragons
If we do indeed end up sending a wing to operate out of Blood Dragon bases I would like to volunteer myself to be a part of it. The Blood Dragons are an organization I admire greatly and I know that living and fighting along side them will be beneficial for all involved.
I have also seen this ship the LNS Cole briefly as I was jumping from Alaska to Minor. The ship was within sensor range of the Minor jump in Alaska but not moving closer or making any attempts at agression or interaction of any kind. If I see it again, I'll make sure to document it.

Excuse me for the late reporting. The last days were someway ridiculously strange.
First of all, me and Ensign Corbin were on a patrol mission in Delta, looking for the
nomad brains smugglers. So, we sucesfully ran into a man called Bob.Emmerson,
who was hunting nomads for Atka Research Station. He was in the Freeport Neutral
Zone, so we used to tell him what we do with the people, involved in a nomad hunting
without a permission. He ran and we followed him. After he deep inside Palau Cloud,
me and the Ensign decided not to follow him because of reported high BHG activity inside the cloud.
Later that day I met him again and i was ready to prevent any attemts to escape.
So he used to surrendler and drop nomad materials. He was sucesfully escorted
into Corsair space. Hope they took care of him. They will definetly not be so kind.
The next weid thing i can't explain was a Rheinland reconnaissance ship right in the
middle of Omicron Delta. He denied to stop, but was stopped by the five Osirises,
he ran into. I can't explain why Corsairs are keeping the fleet of this size in a zone
near Freeport. Anyway that's the thing i have to report about.
The next day was much better in terms of danger. We had some training with
Coalition pilots. At least it was a good rest for all of us. They are really good
with their ships and there is a pleasure to fly with them.
Subject: Fw: Re: Wing stationed with Blood Dragons
Admiral, i want to ask you for a permission to join the wing, operating in the
Blood Dragons' space to assist Corporal Leigh there. We have to learn a lot from
thoose brave people, who use to vindicate their honor while being heavily outnumbered.
Anyway, the Bushidō (way of the warrior) is the especially considerable thing
i found needed to learn.
// I found the Bushidō worth noticing depending on cultural ad aestetical basics of the Blood dragons faction. Hope it will not be wrong
Next time anyone sees this pilot, can I suggest they scap him. Hes been nothing but an uncooperative nuciance every time we encounter him. Since his ship is LSF issue he may also still have ties with them.
