To the Admiralty and High Command,
Launching from Houston in Texas, I was warned by my long range scanners of possible embargo breakers being present in Hudson. Taking the lane towards it, thinking it was going to be a relatively simple mission, I end up face to face with a Cadet's worst nightmare: an indoctrinated nomad-worshipping Outcast battleship. Thinking fast, I immediatly requested for Capital fleet backup and kept track of the target.
Assisting in its assault, my task was to kep the vessel disrupted as the fleets were making their way towards Hudson. While we took no casualties, the ship unfortunately managed to use its Jump Drive. This seems to have contraried the captain of the Norfolk II, who took out his rage on a poor Rogue who had just arrived on scene. Returning to Liberty space, the Capital fleet returned to its normal duties and I myself headed to New York, where I met up with Graham, who was making supply runs for Long Island.
At the very same moment, I was "lucky" enough to catch a Zoner illegally carrying Stabiline. As the vessel was extremely cooperative and that the amount transported was relatively small, I judged that the bonus we would receive from this seized cargo would be enough of a fine, and I let him go with a stern warning.
I then met Alina, Junker pilot of the "Junkyard Artist". While she was nice enough, I will make sure to... "monitor" her activities at the best of my abilities. There was something fishy about her. She suggested she was Ex-LSF, but you know how these gyps-, I mean, Junkers can be. I then provided assistance to Graham in his supply runs, only to end up face to face with quite the odd creature: A Libery Security Force pilot sitting right next of the Capital.
Now, I'm not expert, and I do know the Order uses heavily modified Liberty designs for their ships, and I do know the LSF has access to some top level equipment, but I find that that parading said equipment, especially when it is known by the public as terrorist's ship seemed unwise at best to me. I shared my concerns with the pilot, who scoffed at them. Graham told me to ignore her. Ah well.
It's at this moment that my comms picked up an odd signal coming from a hostile ship, the very same one that shot me down during my earlier patrol. Tracking it down, we nearly caught up with the Hellfire pilot, but the LSF inadvertedly helped its escape, shooting down the lane the moment it entered it, giving it just the clear it needed to make an escape. At least, the Lakewood and Graham were safe for now.
Moments later, an odd sight came to me: an Unione Corse pilot comandeering a Gallic Brigand gunboat. Knowing that we are on neutral terms with the Corsicans, but that Gallic Brigand equipments are illegal, I decided to use diplomacy to convince the pilot to leave Liberty space. My plan worked, and the Corsican gladly followed my lead. He was pleasantly surprised by my origins, which certainly eased the situation.
Halfway there, Graham decided to transfer a lump sum to my account for my assistance during the evening. which I gladly accepted. The Corsican did the same for me once it was safely escorted out of Liberty, and I suggested that next time he could try and get an exception from the Government to bring his ship to Liberty.
On my way back home, about to end my patrol, I entered the lane at the same time an LPI had, who seemed quite angered by my act and took justice in his own hands, if I may say so, by frying my shields. Just as I were about to end my run and was about to call it a night, I noticed that I had logged just enough hours for my Cadethood to come to an end. I celebrated this event by paying a round to the pilots in the bar of the Missouri. I hope to hear from you soon on this matter.
