Greetings brothers, sisters, and Elders. I have been holed up in Yaren a bit under the weather the last couple of days, but today I launched my Titan when our scanners picked up two Outcast ships in Theta. There is only one reason why Outcasts would be in Theta, and thats to get to Gamma. I cut my patrol short and decided to fly back to Crete to make sure the defense was organized. To my great relief, Elder Zavier Benitez, Buffy, later Android, and an independent Corsair named "A12fred" were parked outside Crete.
About a minute later two [RoS] tagged ships named Loherign and silent_assassin approached Crete ... in Raven Talons. Perhaps the Outcasts are starting to realize that their Cardamine-doped engineers can't weld two pieces of hull plating together, much less a ship? I can only speculate of course. To their credit, they engaged us outnumbered and out gunned. We dealt with them quickly and efficiently.
A stranger thing happened on my way back to Delta. It seems we may have another hostile force to fight on top of the Nomads. I encountered a ship tagged "=CYLON=." Whoever these Cylons are, they were intruding on our territory. When I told him to leave he bee-lined to me and engaged. He had wyrm and rapiers, suggesting that he has docked on both Outcast and Corsair bases.
It was a stand-off until a wing of Nomad light fighters entered the fray and started to wreck havoc. Although the Nomads were hitting both of us equally, I was in worse condition. First one, then both weapon wings were taken, then my bottom fine, causing massive coolant leaks and fires all over my ship. Fortunately, the Nomads hit some sort of vital computer area, making the Cylon broadcast "AI Malfunction." This was my chance, I burned what H-fuel I had left and headed to Gamma where a wing of Centurions dealt the final last blows to the Cylon ship, and trackered mine back to Crete.
Given what condition both my body and my Titan are in, I think I will be staying on Crete for a while.
There is yet a third thing I would like to address. There may be a Junker tagged and ID'd ship flying around Gamma collecting scrap metals, she is independent and not affiliated with [JM] or any other Junker faction. Her name is Magia and she was one of the Junker engineers assigned to work on the Altanaria and other ships on Yanagi, including mine. When the Junkers canceled our deal out of fear she didn't have time to get off the Altanaria before it launched and subsequently exploded. She had no where else to go, so I invited her to Crete. I would like to request that she be allowed to continue her work, as she is as trustworthy as any brother or sister Corsair in my heart.

"The thirteen saloons that had lined the one street of Seney had not left a trace. The foundations of the Mansion House hotel stuck up above the ground. The stone was chipped and split by the fire. It was all that was left of the town of Seney. Even the surface had been burned off the ground.
Nick looked at the burned-over stretch of hillside, where he had expected to find the scattered houses of the town and then walked down the railroad track to the bridge over the river. The river was there."
