My god... it started so innocent... it... it... I can't find a wo... word for it. I just picked up my Execu-... Ex-fighter ship, ID and 30 minutes later... The IFF, when I got a signal from Fleet Admiral David Hale that... Rhienlanders were in or ne.. near Liberty Space and... and... I cannot remember... this day was a bit too much for me... I only remember Rhienland strike craft, lasers, missiles... then after a few minutes I remember my view of space becoming bright green, and the echo of the words "Incoming Missi-"... Good... god, I was barely able to hammer the ejection button (the missile hit me so hard, I accidentally hit the button, seconds before the executioner exploded) to escape with my pod... Green bursts of energy... missiles... I was lucky enough to get a missile explosion propel me near... Cold Bay Depot was the station called I think, where they sent a retrieval shuttle. They... They... Well, nothing could be recovered from the pod (Flight data, visuals, etc) even the life support system on it was damaged, I was lucky to be alive. Then one of the other pilots, James Colibrie who was very friendly and supportive, came to pick me up. It seemed he detected my emergency pulse signal. He dropped me off to a nearby battleship where I got another Executioner upgraded with stronger armor and better shields.
30 minutes or so later, we were on the Missouri, me still shaking, James looking rather calm, but speechless and gaze concentrated at his glass of liquid, when the speakers turned on and a female voice said - "Hey, listen to this guy, he is yelling something, about a revolution... in a starflier... listen to this." And this was the first time I laughed today... and after a few hours we got a transmission about not one, not two, BUT THREE Rhienland gunboats on a recon mission coming from the Badlands heading to West Point. We rushed to our fighters, my body full with Adrenalin and a lust for revenge. We launched with two or three other fighters (Sadly, none of us carried torpedoes), hoping to intercept them and hold a few minutes for a cruiser or a battleship to arrive... we couldn't hold long enough and we even dragged in a few freelancers and that revolutionary dude... He was yelling random commands and keeping the gunboats distracted. Most of the fighters retreated due to heavy hull damage, but there were no casualties I can confirm from memory, because I forgot to put a Storage Unit on the ship (This would never happen again) and I had to retreat to West Point to repair and restock my ship... the repair is still ongoing and I am reporting this from one of the guest rooms they gave me to wait in. It seems we had lots of krauts today.

Today was a very busy day for me and I tried out different classes of escape pods - Shameful and Stationary on a Cruiser. I'll try to keep this report short, though, because it's going to be a very large block of text.
Right... Uhm... I was patrolling new york in a sluggish manner, scanning everything, saying the regular Hellos, when I saw a Lane Hacker Spyglass Battleship pop up on my scanners near the badlands (Not so hard to recognize it's shape) and it darted into the blueish muck. It seems it noticed me too and began to sing "In the Navy" on System Comms. I gladly sang along with him and after a few unlucky sweeps of the badlands, it was gone.
Aaaanyway, I detected 2 Kusari Explorers carrying Nomads in their cargoholds. I tried to make them drop the aliens, peacefully as a heavy fighter can do little to no damage and will die fast. I allied with the LSF Gunboat Iron Hammer and the Navy fighter Bolan (or was he LSF too) to help me take them down. Well, we couldn't... They escaped undamaged and they docked up. One docked at West Point it seems, where he communicated to us through system comms that Nomads, when smoked are a very potent narcotic, even stronger than cardamine. We waited... our weapons locked at the docking ports, but nothing happened.
Then we got a report of a Liberty Rogue Destroyer in liberty, though no results here either.
30 minutes later I was hailed by the Bretonian Armed Forces requesting clearance to Liberty territory and extra escort. The LSF Gunboat and fighter also joined me, again. Anyway, I met the BAF convoy that was composed of the Transport "Britannia" and 3 fighters at the Mojave, California and scouted ahead with Bolan to see if it was clear. All was fine and dandy until the transport itself arrived at the California -> New York Jump Gate, then a Pirate (Sabre) and a Rhienland gunboat cruised in. Iron Hammer, Bolan and me engaged both of them, while the Britannia finishes her work. Iron Hammer was engaging the gunboat (which gladly wasn't shooting at me and bolan, which were more intrigued by the Sabre). Our little party on the gate, got even more intense when the Liberty Rogue Booker joined the clusterfight. We held long enough for the Britannia to retreat back to Bretonia along with her escorts. Bad news is that the gunboat was defeated and shortly after, so did Me and Bolan. It seemed everyone was prepare for this and ejected in an escape pod. Shortly after, we got positioned around the jump gate in a circle by the Rhienlander just for the hell of it. Some freelancers helped us out, by dropping all of us on West Point where it was easy on, through there.
Several hours later, I was in another executioner now outfitted with a mini-razor, cruising with Admiral David Hale and Co., on a patrol route. We killed two or three pirates when my engines started spazzing out. I docked on a nearby station to get them fixed. It took the mechanic half an hour to fix them. When I undocked, it seemed that Fleet Admiral Hale was now inhabiting the cargo hold of a Guardian very heavy fighter along with a few other pilots. They got in a fight with Rhienland Military fighters while I was docked.
We went back to Virginia where we conducted some training where I found out, that I was attracting large amounts of mini-razor energy all of the time.
After a few hours of training, we spotted an Order vessel in Virginia, we went in pursuit and chased it to Alaska, where we met an order cruiser. We opened fire at both the vessels. We fought... Well they, I was a bit behind, fought for one or two minutes, when a navy cruiser patrol, along with a few gunboats, emerged out of... somewhere and opened fire with it's large forward cannon at the Order cruiser. I was lucky this time and my hull gulped up two whole shots, before my computer starting to scream "Hull breach imminent" and I ejected prematurely... which was a good thing. As a few order cannon bolts hit my drifting away hull and exploded. I got tractored in by the Navy cruiser and was safely escorted to the Missouri.
A very eventful day and if it keeps happening... man, I am so glad.
Oh and before I forget, I've hit the 8 hour mark with my Executioner and acquired the Navy IFF and request a promotion to Ensign, so I can grab a Guardian, because the top wingey bit on my current ship, blows off way too often. Image with statistics and stuff (I joined at around 28 hours time logged on a space ship)
COMM ID: [color=#99FFFF]Fleet Admiral David Hale TARGET ID:Liberty navy personel SUBJECT:Changes in high command ENCRYPTION:Medium PRIORITY:Medium
Hale here.
As you all know, with the recent departure of Vice Admiral Stephanie Gray from the high command structure, we have been lacking a high command member. In a slightly unusual step I have promoted someone to the rank who previously was not a member of the Primary fleet. Lucia Defmir is now holds the rank of Vice Admiral within the Liberty Navy.
She has a long and distinguished career within the secondary fleet and her tactical and strategic understanding I regard as equal to my own. I have admittedly taken something of a leap by bringing someone into the command structure from outside the primary fleet, however Miss Defmir has more than earned my respect. The decision was not taken lightly, and is the result of long discussions with Commodore Robinson, Vice Admiral Hood and Admiral Malrone regarding the future of the high command structure.
Miss Defmir is to be afforded the respect you would give to any other high command officer.

Good day. So, after 8 hours in executioner, I think I now know my way around! Yes, I do! And... I'm eager to get rank of ensign! *whispers* And some better ship...
Dimitry Ivanovich, [color=#FFFF00]Sam Reed and Reginald Lewis
Pilots, you are all hereby promoted to the rank of Ensign and are expected to justify the faith put in your account. I certainly hope the promotion will not affect your performance as it will require you to do twice as better.

I decided not to make much noise in this matter, so our dear Alexis is at the moment being held at a detention cell aboard the battleship Rio Grande, Colorado. The criminal background of this lass could be written in a single book, even if she decided to keep a low profile for a couple of weeks before striking back -Needless to say that we still had a pending matter since Aleesha Cooper was kidnapped-. I will be waiting for further orders.
SENDER ID: Lieutenant Junior Grade Jorzza Clark SUBJECT: Infiltration into Rhienland Territory ENCRYPTION:Medium PRIORITY: Moderate
Big surprise with this mission, myself and Ensign Dimitri infiltrated into the New Berlin System via the Jump hole about 150 Klicks away from Battleship Westfallen. Dimitri and I departed from Houston orbit alongside with with a few Liberty Law-fulls and a LSF Assault Battle cruiser. we Proceeded to Westfallen via Trade lanes and Lawful Jump gates. we rode straight into the New Berlin System and held just outside their Orbital defenses and radar. until a local Rheinland battleship patrol came upon us and the LSF Battle cruiser designated "Patton". while in this we ran into a LSF Liberty gunboat. why a LSF gunboat was even in Berlin let alone knew about our mission is a bit concerning. the LSF's gunboat was designated "Iron Hammer". i pulled back the fighters and let the heavier ships take out the caps. after they were taken out we waited, shot up a few Fighter patrols and then proceeded back to Houston.
AMENDMENT
as i was writing this report a call came out that there was a Rhienland Battle Contingent consisting of about half a dozen cruisers and a Battleship in orbit around Houston, at that time a Launched my Upholder Bomber. calling upon any forces we could muster on such short notice, Officer ColBride alerted me to the attack and i scrambled. Myself and the other forces that responded took out a few of their cruisers and heavily damaged their BS flagship. the enemy began to fire in random directions that i can only assume that was caused by panic that the tide was turning in our favor and we had more forces inbound. unfortunately the incredibly large wingspan of the upholder became a hassle to maneuver to dodge their fire, i had to eject and i was quickly recovered by a recovery team, at that time Colbride had also ejected but our very own Remus Sius was inbound. i am now safely on Houston organizing transport back to FleetHQ.
personal I'm pretty bummed out about having to eject again but at least im not dead and i know the enemy is going to be blown to hell and back, repeatedly. as far as i know were taking minimum casualties but ill wait for the pre engagment report to find out the actual death toll.

Hale here.
Excellent work, Ashfield, making the assumption it was you who made the arrest. There is a good deal of information we need to extract from Miss Glover regarding some of the events that transpired regarding Aleesha and Miss Dababi. She will be questioned in fairly short order, however first I will need to find people suitable to the task.
She'll see justice soon enough. Charges filed, and all the rest...
