Report
*Do to my unfamiliarity with my systems and an error in the computer core caused by damage sustained in Alberta, my sensor logs have been corrupted. Unfortunately gun cam recordings were lost. But I was able to retrieve the audio logs.
Patrol Report 18/05/827
Today I met Lt.Commander David Nelson at West Point Academy today. He assisted me in re-coding my transponder and IFF for my guardian and getting me familiarized with its systems. However while we were doing this we received a call from =LSF=Bobcat requesting assistance. We scrambled as fast as we could to Ontario, however by the time we arrived the fight was already over.
BEGIN AUDIOLOG
[18.05.2020 20:06:06] =LSF=Bobcat: There are a lot of enemies in Ontario.
[18.05.2020 20:06:09] =LSF=Bobcat: I'm about to be.
[18.05.2020 20:10:23] [LIA]-Julia.Wolfe: co-ordinates?
[18.05.2020 20:10:45] LSF-Frostbite: e3

[18.05.2020 20:11:25] [LIA]-Julia.Wolfe: E3 ontario yea?
[18.05.2020 20:14:05] 5th|David.Nelson: you guys said E3 yes?

[18.05.2020 20:15:46] Death: XA-White.Sands was put out of action by =LSF=Bobcat (Gun).
[18.05.2020 20:15:47] [LIA]-Sanjo.Jiraki: Ma'am is there a chance that the bogie could jump?
[18.05.2020 20:16:05] [LIA]-Sanjo.Jiraki: Good kill, sir
[18.05.2020 20:16:19] =LSF=Bobcat: More potential reds coming.
[18.05.2020 20:16:37] 5th|David.Nelson: Then lets aim to finish this soon
[18.05.2020 20:16:38] [LIA]-Sanjo.Jiraki: woah more reds?
[18.05.2020 20:17:06] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: Where?
[18.05.2020 20:17:49] 5th|David.Nelson: guys were ya at?
[18.05.2020 20:17:59] [LIA]-Julia.Wolfe: heading to cali
[18.05.2020 20:20:38] 5th|David.Nelson: so hostiles were removed?
[18.05.2020 20:20:44] [LIA]-Julia.Wolfe: seems so
END OF AUDIOLOG
Shortly after this we RV'ed with [LIA]-Sanjo.Jiraki and continued patrolling in Ontario. While doing this I received a transmission over a secure channel from a freelancer by the name of Ahmad.Emerson. He claimed that he had sighted a Rogue Scylla in Pennsylvania and that it was shooting down civilians in orbit of Erie. Lt.Cmd Nelson broke formation to request assistance. We arrived on the scene to find the Scylla named Boter terrorizing civilian ships. It seemed he repaired that scrap heap after we disabled it in Alberta the day before. Thankfully Lt.Cmd Nelson succeeded in getting help as the LNS-Marcus.Walker arrived to assist us. We promptly engaged the Skylla and disabled it.

[18.05.2020 20:42:00] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: They are softer. I think. Living so close to the houses.
[18.05.2020 20:42:07] 5th|David.Nelson: Yes.
[18.05.2020 20:42:18] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: the guys out in the boarder worlds are far tougher
[18.05.2020 20:42:28] [LIA]-Sanjo.Jiraki: I don't know a lot about zoners but im glad they dont hate me
[18.05.2020 20:42:44] 5th|David.Nelson: I'd say the zoners out in the edge worlds and the taus are the toughest
[18.05.2020 20:42:48] [LIA]-Sanjo.Jiraki: Freeport 9 sells a good Sidewinder Fang [18.05.2020 20:42:50] Ahmad.Emerson: Hello, this is Freelancer Emerson contacting you over secure channel.
[18.05.2020 20:42:53] 5th|David.Nelson: Especially the edge world ones. [18.05.2020 20:43:10] Ahmad.Emerson: I've sighted a Liberty Rogue destroyer in the Pennsylvania system, the civilians here require help! [18.05.2020 20:43:11] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: go ahead I read you loud and clear
[18.05.2020 20:43:12] 5th|David.Nelson: What the
[18.05.2020 20:43:21] 5th|David.Nelson: I have a bogie on scanners
[18.05.2020 20:43:24] [LIA]-Sanjo.Jiraki: Huh. A bogie. And a base?!?!
[18.05.2020 20:43:36] 5th|David.Nelson: Bogie is confirmed bandit
[18.05.2020 20:43:44] [LIA]-Sanjo.Jiraki: crap [18.05.2020 20:44:04] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: I am relaying the information to flight leader now
[18.05.2020 20:44:20] 5th|David.Nelson: There is a reason zoners have the most detailed and accurate maps in sirius
[18.05.2020 20:44:37] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: Sir. I just received a transmission about rogues in Pennsylvania
[18.05.2020 20:44:37] [LIA]-Sanjo.Jiraki: Probably because they are the most neutral
[18.05.2020 20:44:54] 5th|David.Nelson: Rogues in Pennsylvania?
[18.05.2020 20:45:03] 5th|David.Nelson: Let's check this out then
[18.05.2020 20:45:14] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: A man by the name of Ahmad Nelson contacted me over secure lines.
[18.05.2020 20:45:28] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: He says our civvs need assistance
[18.05.2020 20:45:35] [LIA]-Sanjo.Jiraki: That seems pretty close to the training schools to be bandits
[18.05.2020 20:45:37] 5th|David.Nelson: Allright. Tell him we're on the move
[18.05.2020 20:45:45] [LIA]-Sanjo.Jiraki: But if you trust them i trust them [18.05.2020 20:45:53] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: sir can you give us coordinates.
[18.05.2020 20:46:06] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: we are enroute now [18.05.2020 20:46:15] Ahmad.Emerson: Yes, Planet Erie, pretty much in front of it exactly. HE JUST DESTROYED A ZONER!
[18.05.2020 20:46:17] 5th|David.Nelson: break formation
[18.05.2020 20:46:19] 5th|David.Nelson: fast dock
[18.05.2020 20:46:22] [LIA]-Sanjo.Jiraki: yessir [18.05.2020 20:46:39] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: alright we are coming.
[18.05.2020 20:47:40] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: Another report. Zoner destroyed over planet Erie
[18.05.2020 20:47:49] 5th|David.Nelson: God damn it
[18.05.2020 20:48:00] 5th|David.Nelson: Do we have the callsigns of the bandits? [18.05.2020 20:48:11] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: callsign on the hostiles?
[18.05.2020 20:48:48] 5th|David.Nelson: so names? [18.05.2020 20:48:53] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: entering New York now. [18.05.2020 20:48:53] Ahmad.Emerson: The callsign is "boter". Their captain is talking weird stuff all the time

[18.05.2020 21:05:00] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: Well I hope if the crew of that scrap heap survived that they learned their lesson.
END OF RECORDING
The fun however did not stop there. While refueling and rearming at West Point a Reaver showed up. Having not been briefed on what Reavers were I was not sure what to expect. But Saber's are not regularly flown by law-abiding citizens. So I immediately went to high alert. However it seems it was called in across Liberty wide comms, as we soon had 1st Fleet, LSF and Police ships on the scene. Since it seemed other departments had this Reaver covered, and after I was told that Reavers were a notoriously skilled contract killers and BH's, I was more than glad to be out of there and continuing our patrols. As a in-experienced cadet pilot I do not fancy my chances against a Reaver.

[18.05.2020 21:17:36] 5th|Charlie.Davidson: WOW, I've just seen a REAVER
[18.05.2020 21:17:51] 5th|David.Nelson: A ReavER?
[18.05.2020 21:17:54] 5th|David.Nelson: Oh fuck
[18.05.2020 21:18:06] 5th|Charlie.Davidson: A Reaver
[18.05.2020 21:18:07] 5th|David.Nelson: Well well well.
[18.05.2020 21:18:09] 5th|Charlie.Davidson: Oh shi....
[18.05.2020 21:18:10] 5th|David.Nelson: A reaver.
[18.05.2020 21:18:23] [LN]-Marcus.Robinson: Huh?
[18.05.2020 21:18:26] Cerulean.Reaver: Apt observation.
[18.05.2020 21:18:28] [LN]-Marcus.Robinson: What is this?
[18.05.2020 21:18:29] 5th|David.Nelson: And here i thought you and your kind were gone for good.
[18.05.2020 21:18:33] [LN]-Jeremiah:Sawyer: Uhh...yes, what Marcus said.
[18.05.2020 21:18:36] [LN]-Jeremiah:Sawyer: What's going on ?
[18.05.2020 21:18:57] Cerulean.Reaver: What has this tradelane ever done to you?
[18.05.2020 21:19:07] [LN]-Marcus.Robinson: Attention 5th fleet pilots - this is Captain Robinson, First Fleet, why are you cutting the lane from Freelancer?
[18.05.2020 21:19:12] 5th|David.Nelson: dont shoot the lane stedman
[18.05.2020 21:19:30] [LN]-Jeremiah:Sawyer: I'm in the dark here.
[18.05.2020 21:19:34] [LN]-Jeremiah:Sawyer: What's going on ?
[18.05.2020 21:19:36] 5th|David.Nelson: If you'd knew who he is.
[18.05.2020 21:19:45] 5th|David.Nelson: This guy is no simple freelancer.
[18.05.2020 21:19:54] [LN]-Jeremiah:Sawyer: We obviously do not, so some elaboration would be much appreciated.
[18.05.2020 21:20:02] Cerulean.Reaver: I'd hoped that by now people would've forgotten.
[18.05.2020 21:20:05] Cerulean.Reaver: Apparently not.
[18.05.2020 21:20:08] 5th|Charlie.Davidson: Ah
[18.05.2020 21:20:14] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: Assassin?
[18.05.2020 21:20:18] 5th|David.Nelson: Last time i checked the Reavers were hunting down liberty navy, police and LSF pilots.
[18.05.2020 21:20:31] [LN]-Marcus.Robinson: File me evidences over neural net.
[18.05.2020 21:20:41] Cerulean.Reaver: Oh, he doesn't need to.
[18.05.2020 21:20:55] Cerulean.Reaver: Our employers paid me hundreds of millions for that dirty work back in the day.
[18.05.2020 21:20:58] Cerulean.Reaver: I won't even deny it.
[18.05.2020 21:21:04] Cerulean.Reaver: Though I will not disclose said employers.
[18.05.2020 21:21:23] [LN]-Jeremiah:Sawyer: Must have been before I joined the Navy.
[18.05.2020 21:21:28] Cerulean.Reaver: Oh, certainly.
[18.05.2020 21:21:37] Cerulean.Reaver: The Company more-or-less dissolved.
[18.05.2020 21:21:38] 5th|Charlie.Davidson: OH WOW
[18.05.2020 21:21:38] 5th|David.Nelson: What changed reaver?
[18.05.2020 21:21:52] Cerulean.Reaver: Eventually our pockets were full and our attention was drawn elsewhere, I suppose.
[18.05.2020 21:21:58] Cerulean.Reaver: Mercenary work isn't the safest to do long-term. [18.05.2020 21:22:22] 5th|David.Nelson: someone ask a faction HC or something about the reavers
[18.05.2020 21:22:35] 5th|David.Nelson: We need to know if they are still criminals or not
[18.05.2020 21:22:53] 5th|David.Nelson: So what brought you here now?
[18.05.2020 21:22:55] [LN]-Jeremiah:Sawyer: Either way, I don't recall seeing that ID name being listed as shoot-on-sight target.
[18.05.2020 21:23:02] [LN]-Jeremiah:Sawyer: So I really wouldn't know.
[18.05.2020 21:23:21] 5th|Charlie.Davidson: LN and their shit logistics, nothing at all on LIS
[18.05.2020 21:23:22] Cerulean.Reaver: I'm glad to hear that the passage of time does heal some wounds, then.
[18.05.2020 21:23:50] Cerulean.Reaver: What brought me here? I wouldn't be a very good mercenary if I were to go and tell everyone what I'm up to and in
[18.05.2020 21:23:56] Cerulean.Reaver: whose name, now would I?
[18.05.2020 21:24:01] 5th|David.Nelson: More like the fresh people who are too lazy to read some old reports don't know things out of their own ignorance.
[18.05.2020 21:24:20] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: If there are no reavers anymore why do you still broadcast their IFF codes?
[18.05.2020 21:24:30] 5th|Charlie.Davidson: I wouldn't toy with him.
[18.05.2020 21:24:33] 5th|Charlie.Davidson: I'm just saying..
[18.05.2020 21:24:46] Cerulean.Reaver: The Company is still mine to run.
[18.05.2020 21:24:49] Cerulean.Reaver: Cerulean is still my colour.
[18.05.2020 21:24:52] Cerulean.Reaver: Why wouldn't I?
[18.05.2020 21:26:12] 5th|David.Nelson: Well. What do you plan to do now?
[18.05.2020 21:26:23] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: Wearing tags that get the navy jumpy seems like a quick way to get guns pointed at you
[18.05.2020 21:26:46] 5th|David.Nelson: Especially since your company and you are still considered enemies of the state.
[18.05.2020 21:26:52] Cerulean.Reaver: I've grown rather accustomed to having guns pointed at me.
[18.05.2020 21:26:54] 5th|David.Nelson: Tough luck i guess.
[18.05.2020 21:27:44] Cerulean.Reaver: Seems we've got another, uh, spectator? I'm not entirely sure what the LSF would be up to around here.
[18.05.2020 21:27:46] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: Again, if you are done with them. Or they with you. Why do you still "fly the flag" as it were?
[18.05.2020 21:27:53] =LSF=Bobcat: I was going home.
[18.05.2020 21:27:55] Cerulean.Reaver: I am not done with them. Not yet.
[18.05.2020 21:27:55] =LSF=Bobcat: Was.
[18.05.2020 21:28:17] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: So what you are saying is. We need to apprehend you then?
[18.05.2020 21:28:27] =LSF=Bobcat: There are five of you and one of him. Please do your jobs.
[18.05.2020 21:28:32] Cerulean.Reaver: I'd obviously prefer if you didn't.
[18.05.2020 21:28:41] 5th|David.Nelson: Lazy spook.
[18.05.2020 21:28:46] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: Well you are still on the wanted list.
[18.05.2020 21:28:46] 5th|David.Nelson: Why am i not surprised.
[18.05.2020 21:29:12] 5th|David.Nelson: You guys over the LSF are more useless than the LPI.
[18.05.2020 21:29:26] [LN]-Marcus.Robinson: Alright - we sweet talking over here with an damned criminal, Sawyer, Carter on me.
[18.05.2020 21:29:28] =LSF=Bobcat: Some days it feels that way.
[18.05.2020 21:29:36] Cerulean.Reaver: I'd like to note that our contracts with essentially all of our original contractors have expired.
[18.05.2020 21:29:45] Cerulean.Reaver: As such, I'm not employed to fire at you.
[18.05.2020 21:29:47] Cerulean.Reaver: I am no threat.
[18.05.2020 21:29:47] 5th|David.Nelson: Stedma you're with me.
[18.05.2020 21:30:01] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: that doesnt excuse the crimes of the past.
[18.05.2020 21:30:06] Cerulean.Reaver: I guess not.
[18.05.2020 21:30:12] [LN]-Jeremiah:Sawyer: Who's that...
[18.05.2020 21:30:13] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: you should know that
[18.05.2020 21:30:16] [LN]-Marcus.Robinson: By my order - Reaver, cut your engines.
[18.05.2020 21:30:17] =LSF=Bobcat: I think you're about to learn that the world of Law Enforcement doesn't put an expiration date on crime.
[18.05.2020 21:30:18] [LN]-Jeremiah:Sawyer: We have a cloaked vessel nearby.
[18.05.2020 21:30:31] Cerulean.Reaver: Seems it's already gone.
[18.05.2020 21:30:41] Cerulean.Reaver: Or at least too far away for my sensors to pick it up.
[18.05.2020 21:30:58] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: confirmed
[18.05.2020 21:31:13] [LN]-Marcus.Robinson: I wanted to 5th to question for a while.. but it went on for too much.
[18.05.2020 21:31:16] [LN]-Marcus.Robinson: Your under arrest.
[18.05.2020 21:31:25] Cerulean.Reaver: Would it make a difference if I were to disclose that the Forlorn have shown interest in me flying their flag instead?
[18.05.2020 21:31:29] 5th|David.Nelson: We'll leave this to you Carter.
[18.05.2020 21:31:35] Cerulean.Reaver: I'd not be of much use to them dead.
[18.05.2020 21:31:42] [LN]-Jeremiah:Sawyer: Forlorn you say ?
[18.05.2020 21:31:44] 5th|David.Nelson: You seem to be having this under controll for now.
[18.05.2020 21:31:45] [LN]-Jeremiah:Sawyer: Now that's interesting.
[18.05.2020 21:32:00] Cerulean.Reaver: I must however also admit that I'm obviously not part of their organization just yet. And I will still be me.
[18.05.2020 21:32:09] [LN]-Marcus.Robinson: Eject your pod from ship, Reaver and let's get over with this.
[18.05.2020 21:32:19] Cerulean.Reaver: Well, look at mister trigger-happy over here.
[18.05.2020 21:32:32] Cerulean.Reaver: Suppose I'll have to find out who's willing to pay for this after the fact.
[18.05.2020 21:32:49] [LN]-Jeremiah:Sawyer: Here we go...
[18.05.2020 21:32:56] [LN]-Marcus.Robinson: So your not going to surrender? What a sad information.
[18.05.2020 21:33:07] Cerulean.Reaver: Evidently not.
[18.05.2020 21:33:22] 5th|David.Nelson: If you would read the old reports you'd know why this guy will not surrender.
[18.05.2020 21:33:27] [LN]-Jeremiah:Sawyer: Again.
[18.05.2020 21:33:32] [LN]-Jeremiah:Sawyer: Who the hell is cloaked ?
[18.05.2020 21:33:34] 5th|David.Nelson: Well. I suppose you're about to learn it.
[18.05.2020 21:33:35] [LN]-Marcus.Robinson: Pilots, you have clearance to fire upon the criminal vessel.
[18.05.2020 21:33:41] [LN]-Marcus.Robinson: Go in.
[18.05.2020 21:33:53] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: *sensors recording*
[18.05.2020 21:33:54] 5th|David.Nelson: Have fun first fleet.
[18.05.2020 21:33:22] 5th|David.Nelson: If you would read the old reports you'd know why this guy will not surrender.
[18.05.2020 21:33:27] [LN]-Jeremiah:Sawyer: Again.
[18.05.2020 21:33:32] [LN]-Jeremiah:Sawyer: Who the hell is cloaked ?
[18.05.2020 21:33:34] 5th|David.Nelson: Well. I suppose you're about to learn it.
[18.05.2020 21:33:35] [LN]-Marcus.Robinson: Pilots, you have clearance to fire upon the criminal vessel.
[18.05.2020 21:33:41] [LN]-Marcus.Robinson: Go in.
[18.05.2020 21:33:53] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: *senors recording*
[18.05.2020 21:33:54] 5th|David.Nelson: Have fun first fleet.
[18.05.2020 21:35:29] 5th|David.Nelson: On multiple occasions.
[18.05.2020 21:35:44] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: So. Why don't you fine him and make him do some community work or something?
[18.05.2020 21:35:48] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: Isn't that how Liberty works?
[18.05.2020 21:35:57] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: Because reavers dont come quiet
[18.05.2020 21:36:01] 5th|David.Nelson: Actually he is responsible for so much that if we catch him in a lifepod. It will be easier to just carry out the sentence
[18.05.2020 21:36:04] Cerulean.Reaver: He's not wrong.
[18.05.2020 21:36:06] 5th|David.Nelson: Than take it to a judge.
[18.05.2020 21:36:15] =LSF=Bobcat: It wouldn't go to a judge.
[18.05.2020 21:36:20] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: Oh look.
[18.05.2020 21:36:25] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: A special boy has arrived.
[18.05.2020 21:36:30] =LSF=Bobcat: He's not a Liberty Citizen.
[18.05.2020 21:36:32] =LSF=Bobcat: Not right now.
[18.05.2020 21:36:49] =LSF=Bobcat: He doesn't have the rights, he wouldn't even get a plea deal.
[18.05.2020 21:37:05] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: Fascinating.
[18.05.2020 21:37:19] =LSF=Bobcat: He would be on death row the rest of his life if it were to go that way.
[18.05.2020 21:37:28] 5th|David.Nelson: His orgaziation hunted down liberty navy and other liberty law enforcers in the past.
[18.05.2020 21:37:29] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: Well, this is probably better than that.
[18.05.2020 21:37:43] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: His organisation also hunted down people that the Navy couldn't kill.
[18.05.2020 21:37:44] =LSF=Bobcat: Crime has no expiration date, especially crimes that entail capital punishment.
[18.05.2020 21:37:46] Cerulean.Reaver: We were merely doing our jobs, honestly.
[18.05.2020 21:38:24] 5th|David.Nelson: It doen't matter if you did it out of spite or simply to get payed.
[18.05.2020 21:38:28] 5th|David.Nelson: You did it.
[18.05.2020 21:38:43] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: Sheesh. I am glad I don't live here.
[18.05.2020 21:38:45] 5th|David.Nelson: While you had the opportunity to refuse.
[18.05.2020 21:38:59] Death: [LN]-Marcus.Robinson was put out of action by Cerulean.Reaver (Mine).
[18.05.2020 21:39:06] Cerulean.Reaver: Now, let's solve this rationally.
[18.05.2020 21:39:09] Cerulean.Reaver: You pretend you didn't see me.
[18.05.2020 21:39:21] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: Honestly.
[18.05.2020 21:39:24] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: So much fuss about history.
[18.05.2020 21:39:28] 5th|David.Nelson: What did you expect?
[18.05.2020 21:39:29] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: Things happened, move on.
[18.05.2020 21:39:40] Cerulean.Reaver: They seem to have forgotten the sheer number of Rogues, Xenos and Lane Hackers we bagged
[18.05.2020 21:39:44] Cerulean.Reaver: in their employment, as well.
[18.05.2020 21:39:59] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: Ah, it's just selective memory.
[18.05.2020 21:40:01] 5th|David.Nelson: Well. First fleet has this under controll still.
[18.05.2020 21:40:22] 5th|David.Nelson: Stedman. We're heading out
[18.05.2020 21:40:25] =LSF=Bobcat: That... you really have no idea how law enforcement works do you?
[18.05.2020 21:40:53] Cerulean.Reaver: I seem to have about as in-depth an understanding of law enforcement as you lot do about mercenary work.
[18.05.2020 21:40:54] [LN]-Marcus.Carter: Our Captain is floating in open space right now. Exactly what do we have under control, Sir?
[18.05.2020 21:41:07] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: You could always get him.
[18.05.2020 21:41:16] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: Affirmative ready to move out on your order
[18.05.2020 21:41:21] =LSF=Bobcat: Mercenary work is a lot more simple than law enforcement.
[18.05.2020 21:41:29] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: I don't disagree with you.
[18.05.2020 21:41:35] ZNS|Irina.Kuzmivna: Interesting
[18.05.2020 21:41:36] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: I shoot whoever pays me the least.
[18.05.2020 21:40:53] Cerulean.Reaver: I seem to have about as in-depth an understanding of law enforcement as you lot do about mercenary work.
[18.05.2020 21:40:54] [LN]-Marcus.Carter: Our Captain is floating in open space right now. Exactly what do we have under control, Sir?
[18.05.2020 21:41:07] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: You could always get him.

[18.05.2020 21:41:29] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: I don't disagree with you.
[18.05.2020 21:41:35] ZNS|Irina.Kuzmivna: Interesting
[18.05.2020 21:41:36] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: I shoot whoever pays me the least.
[18.05.2020 21:42:10] =LSF=Bobcat: I never said I disliked my job.
[18.05.2020 21:42:26] =LSF=Bobcat: I was giving you an example at why it's different.
[18.05.2020 21:42:33] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: Well. Is it really different though?
[18.05.2020 21:42:38] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: We both get paid for shooting people.
[18.05.2020 21:42:39] =LSF=Bobcat: You...
[18.05.2020 21:42:45] =LSF=Bobcat: You're really stupid aren't you?
[18.05.2020 21:42:55] ZNS|Irina.Kuzmivna: A unusual quote from LSF.
[18.05.2020 21:42:56] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: More like, I am making you seem less important than you think you are.
[18.05.2020 21:43:17] =LSF=Bobcat: Why is this about who's more important?
[18.05.2020 21:43:29] =LSF=Bobcat: Who even are you and why are you acting like this?
[18.05.2020 21:43:37] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: Well, I am just me.
[18.05.2020 21:43:41] =LSF=Bobcat: You sound like someone under the influence.
[18.05.2020 21:43:47] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: Ouchie.
[18.05.2020 21:43:50] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: But not really.
[18.05.2020 21:43:59] [LN]-Jeremiah:Sawyer: Carter, seems like we are needed somewhere else.
[18.05.2020 21:43:59] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: I am here because a person I don't dislike seems to be in trouble.
[18.05.2020 21:44:07] [LN]-Jeremiah:Sawyer: Apparently we have a Rogue situation in Ontario.
[18.05.2020 21:44:07] [LN]-Jeremiah:Sawyer: Apparently we have a Rogue situation in Ontario.
[18.05.2020 21:44:09] [LN]-Marcus.Carter: I am right behind you, Sir.
[18.05.2020 21:44:13] Forlorn|-Ruby.Hydra: Rogues, you say?
END OF RECORDING
We left the LSF to deal with the Reaver and instead we were ordered to provide escort for USI transports shipping critical hardware to Prudhoe Skunkworks. We arrived in Ontario and immediately sensors went red. A Legion Arbiter called Infernal was in the system. It was broadcasting propaganda messages on the system channel. We promptly broke formation with the Universal vessels and headed to intercept. We commed for reinforcements while we stalled the hostile. Thankfully the Jeremiah:Sawer responded to our call and aided us. However the vessel still proved too much for a pair of Guardians and a Defiant. Lt.Cmd Nelson broke off the engagement to comm for assistance. Not long after the [LN]-Marcus:Carter entered the system to provide assistance. However this still proved to be insufficient to take down this Arbiter. The Jeremiah Sawyer was heavily damaged by a mine. It looked bleak. Finally about 20 mins into the engagement the LSFC:Seattle finally arrived to assist us. Finally our combined firepower was enough to disable the hostile BS. The Jeremiah Sawyer will have to be towed out of the system.

END OF AUDIOLOG
*Audio log edited to exclude USI chatter.*
We returned to our original task of escorting the USI convoy which had waited for us at the Alaska gate. On our way back from Alaska we were joined by Rear Admiral Ayato who joined us for the escort. While checking the all clear on the NY side of the gate my sensors lit up again. Another Skylla. The_Flying_Dutchman. Once more. Another rogue scrap heap was promptly disabled by our combined firepower.
[18.05.2020 22:41:47] 5th|David.Nelson: Stedman take point

END OF AUDIOLOG
We returned to our escort duty once more. Again hostile activity was high in Ontario. A Lane Hacker was sighted on my sensors and I broke to intercept. However I could not close the distance and lost the target. The remainder of the trip to Alberta was mostly uneventful. However we returned to Ontario and encountered an Ahoudori class vessel named The.Ship. Sensors showed the ship was carrying slaves on board. We moved to intercept. We hailed the pilot and he dropped his cargo. However he continued to threaten us and the Admiral gave us the all clear to open fire and destroy the vessel. It was promptly disabled.

END OF AUDIO LOG
*Audio log edited to exclude USI chatter.*
On our way to rejoin the convey we again ran into hostiles at the Cali>NY gate. A vessel ID'ed as Disrupter. He attempted to run but Lt.Cmd Nelson and I swiftly dropped him out of cruise speed. Admiral Ayato ordered us to proceed to the covoy as there was no need for 3 ships to engage the hostile. The Admiral proceeded to engage the hostile.
