Si... this is Virgil....
We came into Tau-23.... We saw a pirate liner and a GRN heavy fighter....
The pirate liner was suspected... of pirating on our territory...
So we interrogated it... asked for money...
We received money... 1,500,000 to be exact...
The GRN fighter then began to single handedly... take on the liner... the liner eventually blew up... nice job GRN, si...?
I then was told to take on the GRN fighter... but I was destroyed... my pod was recovered at cali....
Next time... I will kill it....
Right so, first thing's first, we started off with a quick transport kill that we found near the Tau 39 hole, he jumped in, wasn't much of a problem, we did have a Kusari Naval Officer on our side though, heh.
Then the incident that Fanteria Santos described happened and we all took a break afterwards. But soon enough, well..many things happened, and I'm not quire sure how it all started, but in general it just turned into a loco fest, with us being pounded down by a Council battleship and everything else. Although after a while we got some reinforcements including the Napoli, under the command of Familiare Castro, I also jumped on the Grande Cazzo, we finished off the Council battleship and gunboat.
And everything else they had just died afterwards, not really much to explain, the guncams show everything.
I took part in a smuggling run to Rochester, and once I arrived with another CL} transport, I decided to ah, sniff around, you know. A few days of chillin on Rochester later, man, and I was like, "I need to get out of here!" So, I went and bought a lot of guns from that shady guy who sits outside the hangar bays, yeah, that guy, you know?
It was all fine and dandy until this "CR|-Coconut[15th]" guy just came in and ruined my day. Even told me to prepare my escape pod, man! I don't deal with this sort of disrespect toward the trade, you know, so I wasted her, man!
The rest of the way was peaceful, and I made it back to Cali base with the help of some ALR| tagged rogues. Great help, these two, if you know what I'm saying, man.

Interesting..well, not really. Quite sad actually.
Got some rest after that last fight, then I headed back to 23 to see what mischief I could come up with, or if there was any money to make, I came across a small group of Council and IMG ships beating down a lone Outcast. The gunboat just saw me and without a word fired a few shots, I barely dodged them, so sudden.
He stopped, but then his friends just all attacked me, including the gunboat. I was just debating whether I should help our side or not, since they had so much firepower, but the Council decided for me. And got their answer, two of their fighters down the drain in quick succession, I afterwards headed towards Freeport 10 in order to grab the Grand Cazzo but unfortunately by the the time I got back the gunboat was already gone.
Everything else is in the imagery, nothing else, just enjoying a drink on Cali.
No rest today, just nonstop shooting. So to the points...well, started with me going solo again to the IMG's mining sweet spot, caught a transport which didn't pay, I shot him, etc. Although he had some damned anti-snub weaponry so by the time I killed him I was completely dry with nothing to repair me and damaged. Of course then I got two IMG ships and a Colonial on me.
Funny enough, they were pretty bad, I mean sure you might just be miner defense pilots but they've been around...but yeah, my shields just didn't even go down. I made it to Cali where Comandante Orsini un-docked and helped out, with my new repairs we started shooting back at them. They of course, mostly were scared and started spinning around and doing all in their power to not get shot at the moment their shields went down, heh.
And then more stuff happened..more IMG..we did get a bit more reinforcements but the damned miners were still outnumbering us..but, it didn't matter, we were just better. And then one of them, the one with the big mouth, started running, I just followed her over to that station near the Tau 31 gate just to make sure she didn't try running back into the fight or anything, she just kissed that base for a full 10 minutes or something, heh.
So they all just died, and then once the one I was following docked too I headed back as Colonial forces had come to help Java, I did quite a bit of damage but then got shot down due to an unfortunate double-nuke...sigh.
Right, everything else is in the guncam data as always and this time I got some from Fanteria Coltello, mostly the ones after I got shot down.
Another of our lower ranks going up in the nacion di Maltese. I am proud to give Joshua Martinez the privilege of becoming the rank of Lanciere.
Morale is high in the Contari Lance as our numbers grow, the pilot's skill improves day upon day and that we start to make ground on the systems that rightfully belong to us.

Another successful raid within the Tau-23 system today ended with two dead mercenaries, and a cargo hold full of ore from the miners. The "Flares" threw a gunboat and Sabre at us during the time we were attempting to extort the miners. Our transport, "Treviso" was able to escape the scene while Orsini took on the Flare Sabre, allowing me to bring in a Cutlass and torch the Ahoudori.
Started everything a bit late today, but I did start with a quick check-in to Liberty, I've only been there before for family business. But more for pleasure this time. I've got to say, the general intelligence level in that place is always low..very low.
The first thing I came across was a some Navy officer, it was trying to stop a Hacker, so I killed it. And then I had heard about something going down in the system called Pennsylvania. There was another Navy officer here protecting it..and I wanted to get in, so I just shot him. And then the Flares showed up again, it looks like the infection is all over Sirius.
But they all died anyway, I then headed home, nothing interesting there, but I have to say "Liberty's Finest" isn't really that good, we could do quite the business there.
I was going to make a detailed report about everything but...there was just too much going on really. We had a rather large Lance going on at the time, and got word of a rather large RNS strike force within Orkney, so we went in.
We couldn't find anything at first except for a transport and gunboat, but after a while we found the strike force, they were quite big, measuring in multiple battleships and cruisers, including a gunboat and some snubs. Not much to say there, they all burned. Unfortunately, we did lose Comandante Orsini's ship as well, but his pod was recovered.
The guncam images speak for themselves, quite a bit of explosions, capital-sized explosions. Santiago out.
Yet again, one of our lower ranks going up in the nacion di Maltese. I am proud to give Fitta Coltello the privilege of becoming the rank of Lanciere. She has more than proven herself to be a worthy addition to our cause.
A lot has happened in recent days, reports are still left to be made on the topic of the Lance wasting both a Miner and Royal Navy Capital Fleet in one day. My Familiare seem to be getting lazy on the former, however.
