Name: Aurelius Howard Recipient:VANGUARD Subject: Routine Patrol in New York System
As I undocked out of Planet Manhattan and took the trade lane to Fort Bush, I passed by an Insurgent by the name of Joe.Texas.
We had a little pow-wow, gave each other nods to how we had to operate and how there was no way I could let him go in the face of how any and everything I do is being recorded in my Defender.
Our duel soon started and after a few strafes from the both of us, I took the upper hand and got a few mines bearing down on him while dodging his telegraphed mine laying technique. A few more volleys of laser fire later and his Sabre was soon disabled, his escape pod dropped by Rochester as he had requested of me in this gentlemen's duel.

[29.05.2023 04:39:28] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Hey, I thought the Insurgency's dying already?!
[29.05.2023 04:39:35] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: What are you doing here, traitor?!
[29.05.2023 04:39:43] Joe.Texas: I thought so too, then i found ths stripoes in my locker
[29.05.2023 04:39:48] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: What? Did our cordon fleets just suddenly let people through?
[29.05.2023 04:39:48] Joe.Texas: *he giggles*

[29.05.2023 04:40:22] 2023-05-28 20:40:21 SMT Traffic control alert: Tyla_Berik has requested to dock
[29.05.2023 04:40:25] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Well neither do I to you, but a job's a job.
[29.05.2023 04:40:32] Joe.Texas: But i do believe you follow the corrupt government
[29.05.2023 04:40:46] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Can't go back to Command telling them that I just flew away when they check my blackbox recordings, now can I?
[29.05.2023 04:40:50] Joe.Texas: Those pencil pushing paper eaters and their laws
[29.05.2023 04:41:07] Joe.Texas: OOf course

[29.05.2023 04:41:21] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: But hey, they pay my salary.
[29.05.2023 04:41:33] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: So... I gotta earn it, my man.
[29.05.2023 04:41:34] Joe.Texas: We agree on many roads mister Howard
[29.05.2023 04:41:53] Joe.Texas: Well i have an idea
[29.05.2023 04:42:01] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: We do. But I don't think we agree on me having to blow your ship up here and now.
[29.05.2023 04:42:03] Joe.Texas: If this is what feeds your children
[29.05.2023 04:42:13] Joe.Texas: Then so be it
[29.05.2023 04:42:17] Joe.Texas: But promise me one thing
[29.05.2023 04:42:24] Joe.Texas: If i do blow up
[29.05.2023 04:42:46] Joe.Texas: Leave my pod somewhere near Rochester so when they pick me up i can have a cold beer
[29.05.2023 04:42:55] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Hah, deal.
[29.05.2023 04:43:01] Joe.Texas: Thank you
[29.05.2023 04:43:02] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Now, let's get this over with!
[29.05.2023 04:43:12] Joe.Texas: Yeah im tired of this rant as well
[29.05.2023 04:43:18] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Righty-o then!
[29.05.2023 04:43:21] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Charging weapons!
[29.05.2023 04:43:27] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Engine's hot!
[29.05.2023 04:43:28] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Engaging!
[29.05.2023 04:43:36] Joe.Texas: Allow me to demonstrate how Insurgency surgeons operate
[29.05.2023 04:47:04] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Oh, hello!
[29.05.2023 04:47:15] Spuk-[Fae: Good day Mister
[29.05.2023 04:48:51] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Huh, a MND agent, this far from Rheinland?
[29.05.2023 04:49:49] Spuk-[Fae: hmm, ah yeah. me. With authorities not minding. dont know why tho. im not bothered to keep low
[29.05.2023 04:50:10] Spuk-[Fae: Maybe something has changed, maybe im just lucky
[29.05.2023 04:50:19] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Maybe it has.
[29.05.2023 04:59:04] Death: Joe.Texas was put out of action by 1st|Aurelius.Howard (Gun).
Whilst the duel was happening, a Freelancer and a Rheinland MND agent was watching by the sidelines. I inquired about the agent's reasons for being in Liberty whilst at the same time being in possession of Nomad Gunboat Remains.
Lance-2 of the Liberty Navy came by to give me support in the case where negotiations turned awry.
Both Ensign Cheel Mayers and Lieutenant Commander Aiden Pearce were witness to the event as well.
The Rheinland Agent was given a choice of dropping the Nomad Gunboat Remains he had in his cargo hold and to leave Liberty or to be spaced by Lance-2.
The Nomad materials were dropped and the Rheinland Agent was soon on his way but not without sending a few transmissions to an unknown recipient. We gave chase to the agent into the system of Texas where we once gave them the final choice to give themselves in, in light of what we witnessed. They then soon docked on Planet Texas where we lost all contact with them.
29.05.2023 04:59:28] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Oh hey there, didn't see you guys
[29.05.2023 04:59:31] Spuk-[Fae: Indeed, Liberty is in good form
[29.05.2023 04:59:34] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Hello.
[29.05.2023 04:59:39] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: wait a minute, what's MND doing here in Liberty?!
[29.05.2023 04:59:52] Spuk-[Fae: HAH, finally somebody noticed
[29.05.2023 05:00:10] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Hmmm... Y'know what?
[29.05.2023 05:00:23] 1st|LNS-Liberator: CO:Greetings
[29.05.2023 05:00:25] Spuk-[Fae: *bows back and listens*
[29.05.2023 05:00:25] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: I ain't going to get into politics after what happened with the Zoners recently.
[29.05.2023 05:00:41] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Sooo... I never saw the MND here.
[29.05.2023 05:00:47] Spuk-[Fae: Wait Zoners?
[29.05.2023 05:00:58] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Oh, you mean that whole Erie thing?
[29.05.2023 05:01:01] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: [Switches on helmet polariser]
[29.05.2023 05:01:02] Spuk-[Fae: IS liberty fighting'em?
[29.05.2023 05:01:10] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Well yeah, they did.
[29.05.2023 05:01:13] 1st|LNS-Liberator: Sup
[29.05.2023 05:01:25] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: And technically, Liberty lost.
[29.05.2023 05:01:28] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: A bloodbath, from what I heard.
[29.05.2023 05:01:39] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Gonna be hard to dig em outta there.
[29.05.2023 05:01:43] Spuk-[Fae: interesting
[29.05.2023 05:02:04] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Well, it is what it is.
[29.05.2023 05:02:22] Spuk-[Fae: you got any more interesting rumors to share by a chance?
[29.05.2023 05:02:22] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Sometimes Liberty goes a little haywire and has a little fun here and there.
[29.05.2023 05:02:39] Spuk-[Fae: i think we may be friend
[29.05.2023 05:02:40] Spuk-[Fae: s
[29.05.2023 05:02:58] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Hmm, no rumours. My lips are sealed.
[29.05.2023 05:03:03] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: I ain't getting another paycut.
[29.05.2023 05:03:29] Spuk-[Fae: Ahhh come on, you told me one thing already. We have had so nice chat
[29.05.2023 05:03:31] 1st|LNS-Liberator: *stare*
[29.05.2023 05:04:00] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: You sure you wanna poke them, laddie?
[29.05.2023 05:04:20] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: I don't know... You're asking a lot of mighty suspicious questions for someone in the MND.
[29.05.2023 05:05:12] Lance-2: I would like know what the MND doing in Liberty?
[29.05.2023 05:05:14] Spuk-[Fae: well my job is to Hey im not supposed to share this but im just doing my job.... same as LSF on our turf
[29.05.2023 05:05:35] Lance-2: Near of Manhattan also.
[29.05.2023 05:06:18] Spuk-[Fae: today i think i was everywhere, not just near that planet
[29.05.2023 05:06:40] Lance-2: I guess you know the law of Liberty.
[29.05.2023 05:07:17] Spuk-[Fae: youre starting to change that nice chit chat into an.... interrogation i guess?
[29.05.2023 05:07:40] Spuk-[Fae: i dont like this to be honest
[29.05.2023 05:08:20] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Well, you aren't gonna get anything out of me but technically I'm amicable in this situation for now. So do answer to
[29.05.2023 05:08:26] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Lance-2 right over there.
[29.05.2023 05:09:06] Spuk-[Fae: i've read it waaaayyy back ago
[29.05.2023 05:09:12] Spuk-[Fae: if you must know
[29.05.2023 05:09:58] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: So... What's the verdict on the MND agent, Lance-2?
[29.05.2023 05:09:59] Lance-2: I'm not going lie to you, one of your friends came here a week ago,
[29.05.2023 05:10:56] Spuk-[Fae: if he indeed did this, he must be from other squadron. i dont know anything about that
[29.05.2023 05:11:02] Death: Tyla_Berik was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[29.05.2023 05:11:17] Lance-2: Well, soon you will know this.
[29.05.2023 05:11:53] Spuk-[Fae: *raises eye brow* What is this supposed to mean?
[29.05.2023 05:13:04] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: So... doing a preliminary check on your cargo hold and what do we have here?
[29.05.2023 05:13:31] 1st|LNS-Liberator: *Obnoxius stare*
[29.05.2023 05:13:37] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: First you are pretty much infringing on Liberty law by being here as a Rheinland Intelligence agent.
[29.05.2023 05:13:49] Lance-2: Your are not welcome here, turn down your shield and surrender or die.
[29.05.2023 05:14:03] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Secondly, you also do have Nomad remains onboard
[29.05.2023 05:14:12] 1st|LNS-Liberator: Aiden:Jugment lutenant ?
[29.05.2023 05:14:22] Lance-2: Nomad remains?
[29.05.2023 05:14:33] Spuk-[Fae: yeah these glowy stuff i have from some LSF wreck. decided its to dangerous to leave them floating
[29.05.2023 05:14:39] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: So one of two ways right now: Drop those Nomad remains and we will escort you out of here...
[29.05.2023 05:14:47] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Or we will have no choice but to space you.
[29.05.2023 05:15:03] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Your call, Rheinlander.
[29.05.2023 05:15:06] Lance-2: Some LSF wreck?
[29.05.2023 05:15:14] Spuk-[Fae: i guess the first option will work better for us both, dont you think?
[29.05.2023 05:15:30] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: You were saying something about an LSF wreck?
[29.05.2023 05:15:34] 1st|LNS-Liberator: Aiden:LSF wreck you say i call that a lie...
[29.05.2023 05:15:44] Spuk-[Fae: yes. LSF, it was called Cosades
[29.05.2023 05:15:55] Lance-2: another lie.
[29.05.2023 05:16:16] Spuk-[Fae: take this as you want. im telling truth, i can even lead you to it
[29.05.2023 05:16:29] Lance-2: I don't care.
[29.05.2023 05:16:40] Spuk-[Fae: why youre saying the that im lying huh?
[29.05.2023 05:16:47] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: How do we know that you didn't cause the wreck to begin with?
[29.05.2023 05:16:53] Spuk-[Fae: I HATE Unsupported stances
[29.05.2023 05:17:13] Lance-2: And i hate MND in New York.
[29.05.2023 05:17:37] Spuk-[Fae: because i wouldnt attack and ARMORED transport DEEP in liberty in Poorly armed ship?
[29.05.2023 05:17:49] Lance-2: Maybe.
[29.05.2023 05:18:08] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Still... Doesn't explain the trespassing into Liberty.
[29.05.2023 05:18:33] Lance-2: I don't care anyway or you leave the Liberty space or i will take you down.
[29.05.2023 05:18:51] Spuk-[Fae: So far even 1st squadron members werent complaining so i took this as terms have chaned, you dont appear red on my scanner anym
[29.05.2023 05:18:54] Spuk-[Fae: ore
[29.05.2023 05:19:33] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Anymore?
[29.05.2023 05:19:36] Spuk-[Fae: Blah blah yeah, its already settled that im leaving isnt it? youre hot boiled mate
[29.05.2023 05:19:40] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: You tagged him as an enemy?
[29.05.2023 05:19:42] Lance-2: If you don't want leave, i will use another way.
[29.05.2023 05:19:43] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Still, it would probably be wise for you to leave, friend. You do seem a tad outnumbered.
[29.05.2023 05:19:51] 1st|Cheel.Mayers: Evening.
[29.05.2023 05:19:59] Spuk-[Fae: yeah youre right, enough of chats
[29.05.2023 05:20:00] 1st|LNS-Liberator: Aiden:We can make you leave faster
[29.05.2023 05:20:03] Spuk-[Fae: im out
[29.05.2023 05:21:38] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Speaking of which Freelancer, why are you sticking with the Rheinland agent so closely?
[29.05.2023 05:21:53] Spuk-[Fae: **static*brown bag 3 to Toilet, i have something *static**
[29.05.2023 05:22:15] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: I only just met him. I was watching you fight that insurgent with him.

[29.05.2023 05:23:48] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: You guys are hearing this, right? I don't think we should let him leave.

[29.05.2023 05:24:46] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: We heard what you were sending back to... whoever.
[29.05.2023 05:25:06] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: I don't think we can abide by you leaving now.
[29.05.2023 05:25:22] Spuk-[Fae: So THATS THE REAL face of liberty?
[29.05.2023 05:25:33] Spuk-[Fae: Untrust worthy and dynamic like women?
[29.05.2023 05:25:39] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: You weren't even supposed to be here in the first place.
[29.05.2023 05:25:51] Spuk-[Fae: Now you are the VIllians
[29.05.2023 05:25:59] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: But now that we have concrete proof of your infiltration... I'm afraid we're taking you in.
[29.05.2023 05:26:02] LNS-Richard.M.Nixon: CO: A rhienland agent in Liberty... hmm
[29.05.2023 05:26:08] Spuk-[Fae: I am abiding by your requests and now youre decided to screw me?
[29.05.2023 05:26:30] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Situation's changed.
[29.05.2023 05:26:31] Spuk-[Fae: just beacuse of me talking with friend?
[29.05.2023 05:26:40] Spuk-[Fae: HOW SHALLOW
[29.05.2023 05:26:48] Lance-2: Something is wrong with you.
[29.05.2023 05:26:54] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: All of this is being recorded on the blackbox, I won't be able to report on us letting you leave.
[29.05.2023 05:27:11] Spuk-[Fae: tell me what proof you have huh?
[29.05.2023 05:27:27] Spuk-[Fae: a bit of one way transmission that has nothing you can use
[29.05.2023 05:27:44] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: We heard you sending reports back on a semi-open channel, "Brown Bag 3"
[29.05.2023 05:28:00] Spuk-[Fae: my nickname from school?
[29.05.2023 05:28:19] Spuk-[Fae: how about Lance-2?
[29.05.2023 05:28:27] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: We can't be too careful after all.
[29.05.2023 05:28:51] Spuk-[Fae: you want to waste resources and cause unnecesary havoc?
[29.05.2023 05:29:00] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Zoners have been rampant recently. Now Rheinland is coming in to ask questions of quite significant secrecy.
[29.05.2023 05:29:01] LNS-Richard.M.Nixon: CO: We aren't paid by the laser.
[29.05.2023 05:29:16] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: So... Power down your shields.
[29.05.2023 05:29:22] Spuk-[Fae: NEGATIVE
[29.05.2023 05:29:25] Spuk-[Fae: Curse you
[29.05.2023 05:29:33] 1st|LNS-Liberator: Or we will do it for you...
[29.05.2023 05:29:36] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Hey, can we talk this out maybe?
[29.05.2023 05:29:41] Lance-2: Well,

[29.05.2023 05:29:50] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Goddamnit!
[29.05.2023 05:29:56] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Welp......
[29.05.2023 05:29:58] LNS-Richard.M.Nixon: CO: Calling Houston control. Arrest him on the landing pad.
[29.05.2023 05:30:18] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Well now... What about you, Freelancer?
[29.05.2023 05:30:31] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: You're the next suspect and I don't trust your story either.
[29.05.2023 05:30:43] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: What story?
[29.05.2023 05:31:08] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: You so happened to meet up with a Rheinland agent to just watch a fight?
[29.05.2023 05:31:22] LNS-Richard.M.Nixon: CO: That ship has a cloaking device... very interesting indeed.
[29.05.2023 05:31:45] Tip: You were a new player once. If you see someone making obvious mistakes, talk to them and help them.
[29.05.2023 05:31:46] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: I didn't meet up with him. I was passing by and saw him and the fight nearby, so I can over to watch.

[29.05.2023 05:32:23] LNS-Richard.M.Nixon: CO: You do know cloaks are illegal in Liberty?
[29.05.2023 05:32:41] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Excuse me, what was that bump for?
[29.05.2023 05:33:05] 1st|LNS-Liberator: Aiden:Im waching you...
[29.05.2023 05:33:39] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Little too close, I think. If you will excuse me, I must be going.
[29.05.2023 05:33:57] 1st|Aurelius.Howard: Let him go... We don't have proof anyway.
