Yet another wonderful day today out on patrol. I started off with meeting with Captain Ramirez and the Spitfire-Assault-6 in the Texas system,were from there we proceed to the New York system I ordered the captain to move to Colorado and check things there while I do a sweep of the California system. When I entered Cali it was rather quiet but when I got to the lane between the Majave and California Minor I managed to get a smuggler transporting slaves. I stop him and ordered him to drop the slaves. The darn fool even tryed to bribe me but not a chance wrong officer. I ordered him to drop the people and he did and he was even that good to pay his 4 million credit fine.
I received a warning about a Scylla and a Smuggler on their way to make a shipment of Cardamine to Manhattan but on my way to block the New York jump gate I was intercepted by a hacker gunboat so I called in the Spitfire. It decided to make a run for the Cortez system but it was stopped and destroyed. It was armed with Zoner Gunboat turrets and fire ed them against us . We intercepted the shipment in time to close the Manhattan docking rings.
We also Destroyed a Hellfire Scylla while aiding LSF agents. The Order was around as well so they maybe doing something they shouldn't.

Today was interesting day...
I got info about some The Order activity in California system.
So I started from West Point and set course to California.
In the begining didn't found nobody.
Also I stayed in touch with one of my family friend who working for LSF.
And after some time of search, something happened...
I fell in the middle of HF and The Order meeting.
Then they began to run in all directions.
I choose one and start chasing.
I catch him and we start talking...
I chose to shoot him, but he starts running again.
Then I follow again.
He jumped in Pennsylvania.
When I jumped out there I fell directly into the ambush...
After some time of fight, I successful kill one of them.
Then =LSF= and officer Angelina.Dimitrova came to help me.

I have purchased and fitted an Executioner, though I don't know what the standard fit is, if there is one. I have also sorted out my Liberty Navy ID and IFF. I am ready for duty and requesting my first assignment.

To whom of right,
Today, upon news of intruders within the Alaska System, I took command of the Mount.Iliamna to locate and destroy the intruders. With the help of Agent Anna Brown, we've located many intruders. Yet, due to many engine failures (//NPC Grrr Grrr), we were unable to catch these individuals. Among the intruders featured a Nomad infected capital ship named Oasis.Of.The.Sirius who destroyed the LNS Michigan during an inboard system shutdown (//afk), 1 OSS ship, 1 OCV, 2 Order|, 2 unaffiliated Order ships including the well known trespasser named SIX.
I am extremely worried about the Order's recent behaviour. First, they try to attack one of our convoys in the California system in the Barrera passage and now they decide, primary fleet included, to take their morning walks in our territory. We have exhausted all our patience with them.

[font=System]Well, my last shift was more interesting than it was expected to be.
As it was planned the Lake Michigan was docked with the Norfolk for maintenance. The last workers just had left the ship and we tested the engine system, when current Sensor Officer Travis detected two Navy fighters, incoming from the Badlands.
And that's the point where the strange events started. The Patrol consisted of 2 Defenders, which are out of duty for a quite long time now. But we registered that later, the first problem was the loss of hull integrity ship scanners could detect.
When my OPS tried to contact the ships they first talked like AIs, just saying something about waypoints and Badlands patrol again and again. Second contradiction as the Navy doesnt send ships to the Badlands quite often, especially for routine patrols.
Then they headed back to the badlands. They said there was the third patrol ship stranded. Because they didnt give me answers to my questions, I ordered to follow them, directly into the Badlands.
From this moment we couldnt take any video information or accurate speech logs due to some ion interferences. I cant remember exactly, but they found their friend...but I'm sure there was not just one ship stranded....
The few informations we have show us that they identified themselves as "Patrol 27"
Quote:[17.03.819 A.S. 1 22:01:26] Patrol.27: "This is Navy Patrol 27 we have 995 waypoints remaining."
[font=System]It seems that they were a bit confused, they were talking things which made no sense. I'm sorry that I'm not able to tell what, but I'm simply unable to remember, after this incident I had a terrible headache.
And suddenly they dissapeared, at 2 klicks distance we lost scanner contact, they left neither a radio transmission nor even any sign they ever existed...
We headed back to norfolk and I visited a doctor. Nothing but a stress-related headache.

Greetings, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dr. James Ellis, Captain of the good ship Nightingale.
I finished my naval training at west point a week ago and my first assignment as captain of the Nightingale is patrol of New York and its adjacent systems. the Nightingales Primary function is a repair and medivac ship destined to escort the fleet into battle where she will act as a support vessel. Nightingale supports a moderate hold that will act as our medbay to transport jettisoned and injured officers and other pilots back to liberty space.
Its a brief intro into what we do here on the nightingale, but it'll have to do, i have to get back to E.R.

If there was ever a man who told me that the navy was a cakewalk, id laugh in his face...
My first mission was a nightmare, i recieved a report of a engagement near manhatten and wasted no time to survey damages.
upon arival, i found a navy pilot Lix engaged with a freelancer "Carnwennan" and two "\LoC/" operatives. (research into \LoC/ came up negative). Weapons were set to stand by, and medbay was at red alert.
the engagement was the result of the three suspects in question engaging [Judge]Pharo, reasons unknown.
results ended in two casualties. both \LoC/ operatives. the pilots were beamed to the Nightingale and treated for injuries.
Navy forces then engaged Pharo for illegal engagement tactics (//shield lagging)
Carnwennan had surrendered to our forces and was put into my custody... Not really my protocol, but the others were tied up. the Navy gunboat yammar joined me as escort.
upon further interrogation, the Carn admitted to firing upon Pharo as a hired gun, hired by those LoC forces. i let him off with a formal warning and a fine of 500 thousand credits. to which point the Carnwennan fled custody. apparently my counter part Yammar thought it would be an ideal time to have a nap...Carnwennan still at large.
Final Summary, 0 fatalities and 5 patients stable. A very good start. as far as captures 0. Reason? pilot negligence.

Hale here.
Good evening ladies and gentlemen of the navy. As you know, we've recently had a vacancy in the high command structure following the departure of an excellent and experienced man, Admiral Galen Anderson... Attempting to fill that slot in my command structure is no easy task, and requires a good amount of thought and planning. However, Commodore Christina Robinson,Vice Admiral Malrone and myself have come to a decision, after a long discussion.
Vice Admiral Jack Malrone's experience has shown him to be an extremely useful and talented man to have in the high command structure. With galen Anderson's retirement, the step up for Malrone will be a smooth one. Jack Malrone has been promoted to the rank of Admiral. I'm sure he'll continue to be as competant and efficient as he's shown himself to be with his previous posting.
This change however still leaves a vacancy in the high command structure. Although many of you may not have served for as long with this man as I would have ideally liked, I've come to the decision to promote Captain Lucas Wilder to the rank of Vice Admiral. He has shown himself to be a talented combat leader, as well as an inspiring presence for thsoe around him. I have a deep respect for this man's leadership style, and it's my pleasure to welcome him into the high command structure.
For the rest fo you, I ask that you show these men your utmost respect. They are both very much worthy of the posts they now hold.
