Comm ID: Cadet Alastair Stedman Recipient: 5th Fleet Command, Liberty Navy 5th Fleet Subject: Patrol and Action Reports 19/05/827
Patrol Report 19/05/827
*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.
While returning from a patrol in California I encountered the Ahoudori class vessel named The.Ship again. However. This time he was not carrying slaves. But this time marines. Which he described as "military slaves" that they want to "experiment on" He then claimed he would be merciful. He spaced all 135 marines and opened fire on them. Killing them ALL. I stared in shock for what must have been at least a minute. Trying to process the murder I had witnessed. Once I had come to my senses I immediately transferred all available power to my cruise engines to try close the distance. However I still lost him. This vessel will be on my watch list from now on.
[19.05.2020 14:53:27] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: i see you have learnt to not carry slaves
[19.05.2020 14:53:51] The-Ship: now got millitary slaves
[19.05.2020 14:53:55] The-Ship: we can experiment on
[19.05.2020 14:54:24] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: hmm experiment?
[19.05.2020 14:54:29] The-Ship: you're right
[19.05.2020 14:54:34] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: that doesnt sound legal
[19.05.2020 14:54:34] The-Ship: I will be merciful
[19.05.2020 14:54:51] The-Ship: sorted
[19.05.2020 14:55:09] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: the heck!
[19.05.2020 14:55:30] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: you just murdered 135 people
[19.05.2020 14:57:39] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: You can run, you can hide. But I will apprehend you!
END OF AUDIOLOG
After this I continued my patrol. Quite shaken by the atrocity I witnessed. However I did not have long to think about it as my sensors detected a Legion Arbiter near to planet Manhattan. I immediately broadcast a system wide message informing civiliantraffic that Manhattan was a hazard zone and that all civilian vessels were to avoid Manhattan airspace. I then requested reinforcements. At which point the gunboat Defiant, Cruiser Gathu and LPI-SWAT-Allenwood responded to the hails. Unfortunately due to severe ionic damage that I had not picked up in my preflight checks, my vessel went offline. And I drifted helplessly in orbit of Manhattan while the Arbiter Helf.On.The.Shelf was disabled, or destroyed

[19.05.2020 15:07:41] YoYo: Very well then. I shall keep an eye on this 'thing'.

[19.05.2020 15:10:09] eniquiell: ok, everyone from up
END OF AUDIOLOG
In the end I was towed away from Manhattan back to West Point. Once my guardian was repaired a few hours later I launched from west point. The Cerulean.Reaver was BACK. Lt. Hopkins was already on the scene. I am not sure what went down between this Reaver and the LSF yesterday. But his Saber was still intact so I guess he either defeated the LSF or the LSF let him go. Not sure which. I am sure LT. Hopkins will include more information in his report to command.

[19.05.2020 17:56:13] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: I mean, he's a capable merc.
[19.05.2020 17:58:28] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Don't push it, Cerulean.
[19.05.2020 17:58:56] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Is it even still alive?
[19.05.2020 17:59:05] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: You're the only one I saw in a decade.
[19.05.2020 17:59:59] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Silver must be drown in Coalition vodka, knowing her.
[19.05.2020 18:00:05] Cerulean.Reaver: Quite possibly.
[19.05.2020 18:00:14] Cerulean.Reaver: Plausibly, even.
[19.05.2020 18:00:15] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: After a discussion I have been advised to tell you to contact liberty forces via neural net to discuss this issue.
[19.05.2020 18:00:29] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Konbanwa, Stedman.
[19.05.2020 18:00:31] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: Alastair stand down.
[19.05.2020 18:01:01] Cerulean.Reaver: On the subject of Hunters wanting to collect on the bounty placed on our heads, there's one six clicks out.
[19.05.2020 18:01:06] Cerulean.Reaver: Don't think I can't see you, Wayne.
[19.05.2020 18:01:13] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: Grettings sir. Hey I am not that trigger happy. I know my match when I see it. A reaver will have my guts for gaters
[19.05.2020 18:01:15] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: I mean, Peyton is a lad.
[19.05.2020 18:01:23] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Probably won't engage you. Maybe.
[19.05.2020 18:01:47] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: alastair maintain 1km distance
[19.05.2020 18:02:00] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: What's up, Stedman?
[19.05.2020 18:02:03] Wayne.Peyton: Ain't here for that.... just surprised to see a reaver these days
[19.05.2020 18:02:06] Cerulean.Reaver: My guns only reach out to about 700 meters, to be honest. You're fine.
[19.05.2020 18:02:29] Cerulean.Reaver: After that point they're as harmless as background radiation.
[19.05.2020 18:02:31] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Is that a man fresh from one of your academies, Hopkins?
[19.05.2020 18:02:37] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: Indeed
[19.05.2020 18:02:48] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: Hold weapons safe cadet.
[19.05.2020 18:02:52] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: I only came to check if you need assistance. I wont fire unless ordered to do so.
[19.05.2020 18:02:58] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: understood
[19.05.2020 18:03:17] Cerulean.Reaver: Anyhow, Hopkins, I'll be honest with you. The company currently has no contractors. Reavers without
[19.05.2020 18:03:21] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Glad to meet you, Cadet Stedman.
[19.05.2020 18:03:23] Cerulean.Reaver: people willing to pay the bills are rather harmless.
[19.05.2020 18:03:34] Cerulean.Reaver: Hostilities do not originate from us.
[19.05.2020 18:03:48] Cerulean.Reaver: I don't feel particularly incentivized to be the one making a peace offering.
[19.05.2020 18:03:52] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: Greeting Sanada Junko. Do I sense a Kusari heratage there?
[19.05.2020 18:04:04] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: I come from House Kusari, yes.
[19.05.2020 18:04:07] Cerulean.Reaver: If Liberty wants our services and is willing to pay us in credits and a pardon, perhaps they should message us -
[19.05.2020 18:04:10] Cerulean.Reaver: rather than me them.
[19.05.2020 18:04:16] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: Understood I have been given authorization this once to not engage. On the proviso that you contact lib forces on neural net.
[19.05.2020 18:04:22] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Come on, Cerulean, don't be a dick.
[19.05.2020 18:04:27] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: It's the best I can do.
[19.05.2020 18:04:31] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: You could at least be the initiator.
[19.05.2020 18:04:39] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Least you can do.
[19.05.2020 18:04:43] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: Well then Kon'nicwia Sanada
[19.05.2020 18:04:52] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Dozo.
[19.05.2020 18:04:53] Cerulean.Reaver: I don't feel like I owe them anything, Sanada.
[19.05.2020 18:05:03] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: Look i'm just a pilot here. I ain't one of the brass. I don't wan't to get into a fight that's avoidable.
[19.05.2020 18:05:24] Cerulean.Reaver: We've worked for them in the past. We then had a falling-out and ended up shooting them instead.
[19.05.2020 18:05:40] Cerulean.Reaver: None of that was personal. Simply business. It's how we function.
[19.05.2020 18:05:46] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: So i'll leave it with this. If you contact us on the neural net we may be able to come to an agreement.
[19.05.2020 18:05:49] Cerulean.Reaver: I don't really feel like I have to apologize for doing my job.
[19.05.2020 18:05:53] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: That and generous amounts of Whiskey.
[19.05.2020 18:05:56] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: well above my paygrade.
[19.05.2020 18:06:03] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: Anyways I know I am still new to the force. But after our previous encounter with this reaver.
[19.05.2020 18:06:13] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: I made it a point to do some historical reading.
[19.05.2020 18:06:32] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: From what I understand they had contacts.
[19.05.2020 18:06:47] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: They used to be the most deadly Mercenary company around.
[19.05.2020 18:06:56] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Truly a legend if you ask me.
[19.05.2020 18:07:07] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: I am sure you have an aquiantance that can get you in touch with a superior. Top brass.
[19.05.2020 18:07:07] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: Alastair there is one important thing for all to learn. Words are as powerful as weapons.
[19.05.2020 18:07:51] Cerulean.Reaver: That'd depend on whether those weapons are being fired.
[19.05.2020 18:07:58] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: Anyway, I have delivered my message reaver. The 'ball is now in your court'.
[19.05.2020 18:08:19] Cerulean.Reaver: Indeed it is. We'll see what comes of it.
[19.05.2020 18:08:28] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: As they used to say. I hope the next time we meet I am not forced to... engage.
[19.05.2020 18:08:38] Cerulean.Reaver: Perhaps I should reach out to the other colors.
[19.05.2020 18:08:41] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: I like how you got away with it.
[19.05.2020 18:08:48] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: I would suggest steering clear of Liberty space until you have cleared it up.
[19.05.2020 18:09:01] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: That would be a wise suggestion.
[19.05.2020 18:09:22] Cerulean.Reaver: I'll consider it.
[19.05.2020 18:09:29] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: Because other pilots may be a little more... Trigger happy.
[19.05.2020 18:09:39] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Though...
[19.05.2020 18:09:49] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: I have to tell you, Hopkins.
[19.05.2020 18:10:08] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: This man has been hired to serve as bodyguard for our erh... Kind of.
[19.05.2020 18:10:10] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Well you know.
[19.05.2020 18:10:16] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Leader or something.
[19.05.2020 18:10:20] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: ?
[19.05.2020 18:10:25] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: One of ours?
[19.05.2020 18:10:26] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: I mean all he does is blackjack anyway.
[19.05.2020 18:10:44] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: I would ask that I hear no more to be honest.
[19.05.2020 18:10:55] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: That suits me.
[19.05.2020 18:10:59] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: I have managed to negotiate something that avoids a trip in a escape pod.
[19.05.2020 18:11:06] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: For me and the cadet.
[19.05.2020 18:11:17] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Perhaps pay payton 25 mils.
[19.05.2020 18:11:19] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: For his head.
[19.05.2020 18:11:25] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: That would be entertaining.
[19.05.2020 18:11:36] Cerulean.Reaver: I'd rather you pay me for his, instead.
[19.05.2020 18:11:41] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: No...
[19.05.2020 18:11:48] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: I mean I can pay.
[19.05.2020 18:11:52] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: I don't like bloodshed unless it is unavoidable
[19.05.2020 18:11:53] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Peyton, you're up?
[19.05.2020 18:11:56] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: From what I have heard. I may be old and gray before that bounty is collected.
[19.05.2020 18:12:16] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: This has been going on for an hour now.
[19.05.2020 18:12:32] Wayne.Peyton: Hold on there damnit, I got that luitenant Davis on the comms
[19.05.2020 18:12:32] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: im an RP whore so. YE
[19.05.2020 18:12:51] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: The deal is Twenty five millions. Sirian credits.
[19.05.2020 18:11:48] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: I mean I can pay.
[19.05.2020 18:11:52] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: I don't like bloodshed unless it is unavoidable
[19.05.2020 18:11:53] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Peyton, you're up?
[19.05.2020 18:11:56] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: From what I have heard. I may be old and gray before that bounty is collected.

[19.05.2020 18:14:06] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Hey don't be rude now.
[19.05.2020 18:14:23] Cerulean.Reaver: I said "Not quite as much". That's already very polite.
[19.05.2020 18:14:36] Cerulean.Reaver: I implied they're not entirely talentless themselves.
[19.05.2020 18:14:38] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: "At least you tried".
[19.05.2020 18:15:15] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Well, Peyton...?
[19.05.2020 18:15:26] Wayne.Peyton: *switches comms* Allright, whats going on here?
[19.05.2020 18:15:27] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Perhaps you should throw some money into the pot too, 5th.
[19.05.2020 18:15:30] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Maybe like.
[19.05.2020 18:15:34] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Ten millions.
[19.05.2020 18:15:37] Wayne.Peyton: Who's pauing who to shoot who
[19.05.2020 18:15:55] Wayne.Peyton: *paying
[19.05.2020 18:15:56] Cerulean.Reaver: The local government is paying you to shoot me. However, you could choose not to attempt to collect.
[19.05.2020 18:16:08] Cerulean.Reaver: I believe a tip of sorts is on the table, too.
[19.05.2020 18:16:09] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: Sanada is offering to to um sort out the reaver.
[19.05.2020 18:16:15] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Make it 35 millions. Sponsored by 5th. Arena duel between Peyton and Cerulean.
[19.05.2020 18:16:20] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Place your bets!!!
[19.05.2020 18:16:30] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: But I believe that we are not in the position to be making those calls
[19.05.2020 18:16:37] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: Indeed
[19.05.2020 18:16:47] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: Sponsored by forlorn may be a better title?
[19.05.2020 18:17:06] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Well. You're in for 10 mils on this.
[19.05.2020 18:17:07] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: And personally I would not want to be responsible for Sanada's premature expiration at the hands of a reaver.
[19.05.2020 18:17:08] Cerulean.Reaver: What do I get if I win?
[19.05.2020 18:17:21] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: An Outcast drop pod.
[19.05.2020 18:17:24] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Deal?
[19.05.2020 18:17:38] Cerulean.Reaver: What do you want me to do with one?
[19.05.2020 18:17:50] Cerulean.Reaver: Offer it to the Libertonians?
[19.05.2020 18:17:51] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: I mean you could drink with the poor lad.
[19.05.2020 18:17:55] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Or something.
[19.05.2020 18:18:01] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: Alastair this is the sorta stuff they have LT's dealing with imagine when we hit commander...
[19.05.2020 18:18:14] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: Anyways sir. If we dont want to be late for our simulator session we had best not be late.
[19.05.2020 18:18:20] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: Indeed
[19.05.2020 18:18:29] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: I think they are not paying ten mils.
[19.05.2020 18:18:40] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: Attempting to get away with it.
[19.05.2020 18:18:49] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: What are you wanting me to do?
[19.05.2020 18:18:52] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: This is not O.K. Hopkins.
[19.05.2020 18:18:53] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: Yeah more paper work and less flying. Sounds boring
[19.05.2020 18:19:03] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: I can't remember agreeing to anything?
[19.05.2020 18:19:15] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins,: but I have had a lot of messages flying by
[19.05.2020 18:19:18] Forlorn|-Sanada.Junko: You have to pay Peyton ten millions if he shoots down Cerulean.

After this encounter we docked at West Point as we were already late for my session on the Conneticut simulator.
After a few hours of simulator training we recieved word on secure channel of transports in trouble in Ontario. I launched from WP immediatly and set course for Ontario. I set course for the Alberta jump hole where I met up with the Kuskokwim.Bay a Defiant GB. They had stopped the Rogues and were preparing to open fire on a Skylla called LR-Legendary.Foe and a snub called Jack.London. A third Rogue called Jeffrey.Junkins was already engaged with a Forlorn bounty hunter and was disabled pretty quickly. We engaged the hostiles and I immediatly set about dismantling Jack.London's hull. His vessel crumpled under the sustained fire from my guardian. I don't even think he had time to activate his ejection system. Thus I have logged my first official kill.
After the destruction of Jack.London I immediatly turned my guns to the Legendary.Foe. Word of the fight had spread through Liberty channels as towards the end of it the Skylla's hull was collapsing under the combined fire of four ships. Suffice to say. It was dealt with.

Returning to West Point to rearm and refuel I met with LPI-Isla.Nazumaki and an OS&C vessel called TE~Red~Velvet~Club. While rearming I detected a hostile on sensors. It was the Flying Dutchmann again. I intercepted him and fired off CD disabling his cruise engines. LPI-Isla.Nazumaki arrived with the Interdictor class Macmannaman. However while still attempting to hail the Dutchman, they opened fire on LPI-Isla.Nazumaki. Her shields could not weather the Skylla's fire and her ship was destroyed. Thankfully I managed to retrieve her escape pod. Once the Dutchman was destroyed I returned her pod to West Point.

I doubt after that The Dutchman will ever return to Liberty space.
After that engagement I planned to end my patrol. But 10 minutes later an Arbiter was sighted in the system. I scrambled immediatly and went to intercept. I attempted to request assistance on secure lines. But it seems the com lines were jammed as I recieved no response. Regardless myself and the Macmanamann intercepted the ship called HFB-Infernal. We entered into combat with the Infernal. Being in a fighter I did not possess the firepower needed to destroy the ship. But I attempted to harrass the ship and draw its fire away from the Macmanamann, which was loosing shields under the fire of the Infernal. Thankfully it seemed that SOMEONE heard my request for assistance as DCI-M.Brannigan arrived to the fight. We disabled the Infernal but unfortunately the Brannigan sustained heavy damage and suffered ship wide system failures and was left drifting. Thankfully there were freelancers nearby to assist with the transfer of the crew back to West Point. The MacManamann will need to be towed out of the system for repairs.
