Communication channel opened... Encryption:HIGH ID: Captain Franklin Drake Target: 5th Fleet High Command Subject: Combat After Action Report
Today at arround 1830HRS SMT the Odyssey was deployed from Cortez to link up with parts of Task force Yellowstone in Coronado after recieving reports of an outcast fleet gathering in the system. After our arrival at Sabah shipyard we joined the defending forces that consisted of Liberty and Crayterian vessels. However there was a ship that stood out from this group. It was vessel of outcast origin. According to our database and the ship's transponder signatures the ship was the MNS-Abaddon an RM-2A "Storta" class Outcast Destroyer. The ship in question actively joined up against the incoming outcast forces and helped us defend against the incursion. Unfortunatly during the battle the Odyssey took some hits which caused an energy surge leading to a corrupted database of the events and so no visual footage or communication logs are available at this time and later i had to give the command to retreat as our vessel was damaged. The Crayterians did not seem fazed by the vessel's behaviour which brings up some questions. Firstly why is the Abaddon and it's crew fighting against their fellow malteese. Secondly what type of relation does the vessel's crew have with the Crayterians. And thirdly which was the biggest surprise to me. The liberty units that were already in the area most likely part of Task force Yellowstone did not question the rogue outcast which suggests that this isn't their first encounter with this vessel. Which also begs the question what is the vessel's relation to Liberty Navy units attached to Task Force Yellowstone. I suggest the dispatch of an NIS unit to investigate this matter as soon as possible.

Command,
Today at 2100, LIBCENTCOM has received a system-wide alert about an Outcast incursion into the system. Enemy forces consisted out of three "Ranseur"-class Dreadnoughts, one "Sarissa"-class Battleship, one "Hasta"-class Battlecruiser, at least four "Storta"-class Destroyers and a full wing of snubcraft support.
With a response force consisting out of combined units of Forty-Sixth, Fifth and First fleets, as well as several Navy Reserve and LSF units, we were able to repel the invaders without any losses on our side.

Command,
hereby I declare officially to resign from my position in the fleet as a means of protest - no to go even further and actively desert from the upcoming distatefully called Operation "Pesticide"!
When I swore my oath to protect Liberty and her people and uphold justice, I did not anticipate that we take up antics and applying methodry from ideals of former enemies we swore to fight against and protect our people from! Brand me as a traitor, but I won't stand this and like minded people aboard the Des Moines joined Forces with me to desert as we think with this the LSF and Navy betrayed her own Liberty and shows genocidial ideals. This desperate act of violence during the current power struggles can not be tolerated.
With this we all declare our resignations and will take our equipment including our fighter crafts with us in this protest. Admiral Prowers, I will put the LNS Des Moines in your trust, as atleast we believe that maybe you can have a change of heart and see reason to this, don't expect to see any of us aboard the ship however.
With this Fighter Wing VFA-412 "Silver Dragoons" declares their desertion of the fleet.

Tidings,
Kingston here, reporting on action yesterday past the Virginia supergate.
Constellation was tasked with supporting a Navy force beyond the supergate against Omicron natives and potential alien activity. We were unable to ascertain allegiances, but Outcast, Corsair, and potentially even Core vessels were among those sighted. Sensors refused to catalogue ship identifiers, likely due to nebulaeic interference, but Constellation was able to confirm image capture of one of the alien warforms present.
I will submit a separate report to the R&D department for them to chew on concerning the details of the major warform detected, but suffice to say that combat against unknown human vessels within the system temporarily halted to deal with the alien vessel, with only cannibal forces breaking from the unspoken ceasefire.
Constellation was damaged in the battle, and had to return to Virginia for repairs before her hull was breached. Remaining Navy forces reported they were forced to retreat after sustaining substantial casualties. No intel on foreign vessels that were part of the engagement, nor on Navy vessels that remain unaccounted for.
Recommend monitoring Oregon in case of second assault.
Sincerely,
Alexander Samuel Kingston

I joined the Miami, Witcher 1 and Commodore Smith in a convoy delivering supplies to Coronado and back to Norfolk. After we jumped into Coronado, we detected a Rogue on scanners. Witcher 1 engaged it while the rest of us continued to Yuma. Commodore Smith had to stay in the area, so the Miami and I continued to Pecos to pick up the supplies. On our way back to the Cortez JH we met back up with Witcher 1, who took minor damage, but took out the Rogue. We continued on, and Witcher landed on Los Angeles in California to patch his ship up. Afterwards, we continued on, Witcher 1 stopped at West point, so myself and Miami carried on. We both made it to Norfolk and delivered the supplies.

Greetings,
No doubt as rapidly spreading through the houses is a defector proclaiming to take up arms against Liberty. This kind of thing is not out of the ordinary, however they are spreading what they believe is harmful information and sensitive topics, in the form of the previous plans for Operation: Pesticide, and anti-Liberty propaganda. With regards to these transgression, all Black Ops units are receiving sealed orders: Locate and terminate Nicole Hayes. Use any methods necessary to eliminate this potential threat. This operation is classified top secret, nobody outside Naval Intelligence is to know of these orders. Report directly to me when the mission is completed.

Command,
Reporting on my first patrol as a cadet in the Fifth Fleet. My assignment for the day was to patrol the immediate area around Zone-21 and its trade lines for criminal elements or individuals attempting to enter forbidden territory.
During the patrol, I spotted a Republican vesel listed in the fleet base as Tassadar-2817. Helium was aboard the ship, and the ship's captain met me just outside the gate he was leaving. There was a Liberty patrol gunboat nearby. I decided to order the civilian to proceed immediately to the battleship Missouri for further interrogation. He agreed to cooperate, and in a short time we reached our final destination.
His ship was now moored to our battleship, and I had sent word to the ship's command in advance of the situation so that they would have time to prepare their marines to inspect the Republican vessel and send its crew for interrogation. At this point, the operation had already come to an end, the civilian crew was under interrogation, and I docked at the Missouri, handing off my shift to another patrol, myself waiting for the ship to refuel and undergo its standard maintenance inspection.

[10.08.2023 15:34:05] Miguel_Diaz: so he followed me
[10.08.2023 15:35:21] Matthew.Austin: Officer, there's no exceptions: Zone-21 is allowed only for Liberty corporations and Liberty Forces.
[10.08.2023 15:35:43] Matthew.Austin: As Liberty Navy officer I should order this RGS captain move to Battleship Missouri for interrogation.
[10.08.2023 15:35:51] Matthew.Austin: If he doesn't cooperate - I'll use force.

Command,
My assignment for the day was to patrol the planet Manhattan and scan passing ships for contraband. One of the ships scanned was the captain of a Cryer Corporation vessel - Ron.Boyd. The scan revealed nothing illegal: the ship was carrying Liberty Ale, which was flying to the Pennsylvania system, to the planet Erie. However, during the conversation, he claimed to have seen artifact smuggling by the Liberty Police. After appropriate questioning, I established the following:
The captain claimed that about a year ago there was an artifact smuggling situation.
He said the smuggling involved an entire convoy, consisting of three Bisons and several fighters as escort, which advanced from the gate to the Bering system.
All ships were labeled as Liberty Police vessels. At the same time, it sounded like the ships were headed for the planet Manhattan.
The captain himself also claimed that perhaps these smugglers had a secret warehouse on the planet somewhere in its mountains. If that was indeed the situation, it's necessary to check the fleet's database of Jump Gate flights and reports from about a year ago. I then escorted him to the Erie planet, where we also had a conversation on other topics not related to that situation with the Bisons, after which I landed on the Battleship Alma, where I await refueling and technical inspection of my ship.
I cautioned the captain that Liberty Forces might still contact him about this issue and debrief him in more detail about the situation, he agreed to facilitate. All ship scanning materials and the black box materials are attached.

[12.08.2023 09:40:04] Matthew.Austin: Can I stop you for a while?
[12.08.2023 09:40:11] Ron.Boyd: I see a Defender fly by with a hold full of artifacts, refusing to elaborate further. I msut be in Liberty.
[12.08.2023 09:40:14] Matthew.Austin: This is for a standart cargo scan procedure.
[12.08.2023 09:40:34] Ron.Boyd: My man, we're on a beer run.
[12.08.2023 09:41:05] Matthew.Austin: Anyways, my charter orders me to do a scan. If there's nothing illegal - I'll let you be free.
[12.08.2023 09:41:29] Ron.Boyd: Just tell me if they're putting a prohibition in place on alcohol. Again.
[12.08.2023 09:41:36] Matthew.Austin: Looks like everything is clear. Do you need my escort to Liberty border?
[12.08.2023 09:41:58] Matthew.Austin: As I know Liberty ale is popular in a... Rheinland, yes?
[12.08.2023 09:42:48] Matthew.Austin: Those artifacts is contraband, my bad I've not destroyed them when I should.
[12.08.2023 09:43:08] Ron.Boyd: We're headed the opposite direction, word is we're... Nah, ship them to the warehouse, I've heard the horror stories.
[12.08.2023 09:43:36] Matthew.Austin: Horror stories? What do you mean?
[12.08.2023 09:43:46] Ron.Boyd: They apparently hollowed out a mountain range on Manhattan just to store contraband.
[12.08.2023 09:44:12] Ron.Boyd: You didn't hear that from me.
[12.08.2023 09:45:06] Ron.Boyd: After the third Bison with police markings pops out from Bering loaded down with weird alien bits and heads here...
[12.08.2023 09:45:59] Matthew.Austin: What's name of that Bison?
[12.08.2023 09:46:36] Ron.Boyd: I don't remember, it was some time ago. I mostly remember that it was a whole damn convoy.
[12.08.2023 09:46:46] Matthew.Austin: As Liberty Navy officer I should know that, we might have some corrupted people inside and all information is important.
[12.08.2023 09:47:38] Matthew.Austin: That was some time ago... Alright, are you always trading in Liberty space?
[12.08.2023 09:47:57] Ron.Boyd: Cryer poached my driving skills from Universal some time ago, I'm not about to go to Trenton and dig up year-old blackboxes.
[12.08.2023 09:48:02] Matthew.Austin: Maybe I'll contact you next time about this Bison.
[12.08.2023 09:48:18] Ron.Boyd: There were three. With fighter escorts.
[12.08.2023 09:48:37] Matthew.Austin: All of them were marked as Police vessels?
[12.08.2023 09:48:40] Ron.Boyd: Again, seemed more like they'd had a bust in the indepdent worlds.
[12.08.2023 09:49:03] Ron.Boyd: Well, they were flashing police markings, said they were police, and asked me to stand aside.
[12.08.2023 09:50:05] Matthew.Austin: That's strange. When this happened?
[12.08.2023 09:50:14] Ron.Boyd: This was maybe a year ago.
[12.08.2023 09:50:20] Ron.Boyd: Also we could hear you, smartass.
[12.08.2023 09:50:52] Matthew.Austin: They could hear you?
[12.08.2023 09:51:04] Matthew.Austin: Or you talking this to me captain?
[12.08.2023 09:51:19] Ron.Boyd: There's a cloaked ship nearby, I think it's the one identifying itself as Prototype.
[12.08.2023 09:52:10] Ron.Boyd: They showed up on the edge of my scanner for about thirty seconds, then disappeared. I'm profiling by contact names, I know.
[12.08.2023 09:53:59] Matthew.Austin: Understood. Strange situation, again. I think those Bisons was arrested by any House Force structure, hope it was ours.
[12.08.2023 09:54:32] Matthew.Austin: I mean, one year has been passed. But you talking a useful things, maybe I should check our database or ask my command about
[12.08.2023 09:54:35] Matthew.Austin: this story.
[12.08.2023 09:55:10] Matthew.Austin: Now I cannot tell more but you can if it's possible. Every information is important, as I said.
[12.08.2023 09:55:58] Matthew.Austin: So you said one year ago you've seen convoy of three Bisons with some escort and all ships were marked as Police ones?
[12.08.2023 09:56:05] Ron.Boyd: Give or take.
[12.08.2023 09:56:42] Ron.Boyd: Three bisons flew by from the Bering gate, saying they were police, on police business, and move along.
[12.08.2023 09:56:53] Ron.Boyd: Not all at once, mind.
[12.08.2023 09:57:01] Matthew.Austin: Aha...
[12.08.2023 09:57:34] Ron.Boyd: But they said they were headed to the warehouses on Manhattan, it was evidence.
[12.08.2023 09:58:11] Matthew.Austin: Hm.
[12.08.2023 09:58:49] Matthew.Austin: I think this should be know by our forces, at least Security Forces should have information about that. All ships which moving
[12.08.2023 09:58:57] Matthew.Austin: though Jump Gates are scanned by them.
[12.08.2023 09:59:02] Ron.Boyd: If they're making those kinds of busts regularly, they would have to hollow out a mountain.
[12.08.2023 09:59:10] Matthew.Austin: So all cargo which going though Jump Gates is already known by Police or LSF.
[12.08.2023 09:59:36] Ron.Boyd: Then if they weren't legitimate, they'd have been stopped by the Mississippi.
[12.08.2023 09:59:44] Ron.Boyd: Wait, the Missouri.
[12.08.2023 09:59:48] Ron.Boyd: One of those Miss- ones
[12.08.2023 10:00:18] Matthew.Austin: Yes, I understand, maybe they were stopped, maybe not, I'll ask about that a bit later.
[12.08.2023 10:01:03] Matthew.Austin: Now I think I got all information I need about this situation.
[12.08.2023 10:01:07] Ron.Boyd: I'm not brave enough for investigative work.
[12.08.2023 10:01:38] Ron.Boyd: Another helium miner.
[12.08.2023 10:01:44] Penny.Worth: hello
[12.08.2023 10:01:55] Matthew.Austin: Yes, Helium is most profitable resource for new captains in Sirius.
[12.08.2023 10:01:58] Matthew.Austin: Or pilots, at least.
[12.08.2023 10:02:12] Ron.Boyd: Some people never stop.
[12.08.2023 10:02:16] Matthew.Austin: They still starting first step in Pennsylvania system no matter of situation in this system.
[12.08.2023 10:02:19] Ron.Boyd: It works for them, I guess.
[12.08.2023 10:02:35] Matthew.Austin: Well, humans should move. Moving is life. That's a thing.
[12.08.2023 10:03:08] Ron.Boyd: Still beats dealing with the maniacs on Sparta.
[12.08.2023 10:04:09] Matthew.Austin: Hah, looks like you know a lot about Sirius places, well that's not surprising: you're trader, always moving though Sirius
[12.08.2023 10:04:11] Matthew.Austin: systems.
[12.08.2023 10:04:29] Ron.Boyd: Everyone likes having the local guy from Cryer around.
[12.08.2023 10:04:47] Ron.Boyd: I don't even have a medical degree, I can't prescribe things, but I know the guys who do.
[12.08.2023 10:04:59] Matthew.Austin: About investigative work, by the way: that's not for everyone and that's not bad or good - that's just a thing.
[12.08.2023 10:05:24] Matthew.Austin: And that's why we are here, to make things safe for Liberty and foreign civilians.
[12.08.2023 10:05:48] Ron.Boyd: As long as I don't see a maniac whacked out on Cardamine bearing down on me, I'm happy.
[12.08.2023 10:06:18] Matthew.Austin: Well, we are doing our best, so I think you'll don't get any of them on our back.
[12.08.2023 10:06:45] Ron.Boyd: As long as the meds get through.
[12.08.2023 10:07:25] Matthew.Austin: That's right.
[12.08.2023 10:08:00] Matthew.Austin: So do you need my escort? I can move with you to any Liberty system or to border worlds, after that I'll leave you alone.
[12.08.2023 10:08:10] Matthew.Austin: And other House patrol will make your way safe.
[12.08.2023 10:08:30] Ron.Boyd: This is just the Pennsylvania run, surprisingly. I see the miner traffic and can safely assume we're pirate-free.
[12.08.2023 10:08:49] Matthew.Austin: Pennsylvania isn't safe place for now so I should escort you now.
[12.08.2023 10:09:02] Ron.Boyd: Sure, I sure hope no hordes of terrorists pop up.
[12.08.2023 10:09:17] Matthew.Austin: Let it be so.
[12.08.2023 10:10:31] Matthew.Austin: About those Bisons, I think I'll contact you in Neural net in near future or highest rank will do that for me.
[12.08.2023 10:10:51] Ron.Boyd: Ask Universal, if they can find the ship's logbook.
[12.08.2023 10:11:03] Ron.Boyd: I had to give it up when I changed careers.
[12.08.2023 10:11:17] Matthew.Austin: Will see.
[12.08.2023 10:11:26] Matthew.Austin: Let's move to the next point.
[12.08.2023 10:11:41] Ron.Boyd: But their records are spotty, and Jenny in HR might have tried to scrub me.
[12.08.2023 10:11:58] Ron.Boyd: We'll find out.
[12.08.2023 10:12:43] Ron.Boyd: Wait a second, does this guy have a cloak?

[12.08.2023 10:22:36] Ron.Boyd: The local boys will just take money. Those women want me dead.
[12.08.2023 10:22:42] Ron.Boyd: The flowery types.
[12.08.2023 10:22:48] Ron.Boyd: Golden Chrysomethings.
[12.08.2023 10:23:00] Matthew.Austin: Ah, understood.
[12.08.2023 10:23:20] Ron.Boyd: Seriously, when I'm on Roppongi on business, I stay out of about half the boutiques.
[12.08.2023 10:23:28] Ron.Boyd: And my wife murders me for not getting her something nice.
[12.08.2023 10:23:57] Matthew.Austin: I has a girlfriend, there was same situation. *laugh*
[12.08.2023 10:24:31] Ron.Boyd: She has access to the exchange?
[12.08.2023 10:24:56] Ron.Boyd: This might be before your time, but you remember the news you had growing up about Gallia invading the entire universe?
[12.08.2023 10:25:17] Matthew.Austin: I was 18 years old when everything was going to end.
[12.08.2023 10:25:24] Matthew.Austin: Or just started.
[12.08.2023 10:26:32] Ron.Boyd: I remember a lot of Bretonian war brides, and they loved Liberty's snacks that they could only get from the PX.
[12.08.2023 10:26:41] Matthew.Austin: I'm didn't end my academy for now, 1 year is left, just started serving as part of Fifth fleet.
[12.08.2023 10:27:07] Ron.Boyd: Fifth?
[12.08.2023 10:27:11] Matthew.Austin: This can impact on my final results in future.
[12.08.2023 10:27:12] Ron.Boyd: They're still around?
[12.08.2023 10:27:16] Matthew.Austin: Yes, they are.
[12.08.2023 10:27:29] Matthew.Austin: As it was always.
[12.08.2023 10:27:31] Ron.Boyd: Strange. They dropped off the face of Sirius for a while, nowhere to be found.
[12.08.2023 10:28:28] Matthew.Austin: They're looking for new people as all other fleets. That's normal thing in Navy when you're in West Point academy for example.
[12.08.2023 10:28:36] Matthew.Austin: Every fleet need young and perspective officers.
[12.08.2023 10:29:26] Matthew.Austin: Good day Akira-Zero2.
[12.08.2023 10:29:27] Ron.Boyd: Be careful they don't throw you in a Gunboat and send you to Colorado.
[12.08.2023 10:29:45] Ron.Boyd: That's where careers go to stagnate forever, as I understand it.
[12.08.2023 10:30:50] Matthew.Austin: Not always to be honest. Sometimes Colorado is dangerous place by Xeno Alliance pilots.
[12.08.2023 10:31:15] Matthew.Austin: And this situation with Insurgency come to fact that some of Insurgents came to Xenos now, so their numbers is increasing for
[12.08.2023 10:31:16] Matthew.Austin: now.
[12.08.2023 10:31:44] Ron.Boyd: Do you even know what their gripe is with Liberty?
[12.08.2023 10:32:01] Matthew.Austin: All officers is important, depends where they came from. Most rigid ones come from Texas.
[12.08.2023 10:32:29] Ron.Boyd: Houston is a rat race, the officers sure as hell aren't from there.
[12.08.2023 10:32:36] Ron.Boyd: I don't think I ever met a cop not from Denver.
[12.08.2023 10:32:41] Matthew.Austin: Xenos were workers some time ago who has get fired because of Kusari business in Colorado.
[12.08.2023 10:33:01] Matthew.Austin: Good day Mike Andersen.
[12.08.2023 10:33:15] Mike.Andersen: Hello
[12.08.2023 10:33:16] Ron.Boyd: Close enough.
[12.08.2023 10:33:32] Matthew.Austin: So, those workers didn't tried to find other job, just started to be radicals and saying that all foreign corporations is bad.
[12.08.2023 10:33:44] Matthew.Austin: This didn't stop them from hunting down and Liberty civilians too.
[12.08.2023 10:33:55] Matthew.Austin: Typical terrorists, they don't need any reason for killing someone.
[12.08.2023 10:34:04] Matthew.Austin: Some of Xenos is ex-criminals from Houston.
[12.08.2023 10:34:16] Matthew.Austin: Just radicalised ones.
[12.08.2023 10:34:17] Ron.Boyd: And Houston is almost like how Leeds was.
[12.08.2023 10:34:28] Matthew.Austin: Houston is place for ex-criminals at all.
[12.08.2023 10:34:35] Akira-Zero2: yall having fun fellow pilots
[12.08.2023 10:34:42] Ron.Boyd: I remember when I was a kid and the news came out that BMM was feeding its workers cattle feed.
[12.08.2023 10:35:15] Ron.Boyd: I've talked to a few people who got put through the Huntsville ringer. Apparently LPI starves its prison labor.
[12.08.2023 10:35:22] Matthew.Austin: We had some news about that too. Well, I born on Houston, I know what I'm talking about. My mother working in media.
[12.08.2023 10:36:11] Matthew.Austin: There's three ways from Houston. Be worked, be Rogue pilot now or again, start to try be a Xenos.
[12.08.2023 10:36:16] Matthew.Austin: Well, there's some ways, sure.
[12.08.2023 10:36:29] Matthew.Austin: Like become part of Bounty Hunters. A lot of them is ex-criminals too.
[12.08.2023 10:36:32] Ron.Boyd: So either work a dead-end job for awful pay, or turn into a criminal.
[12.08.2023 10:36:40] Matthew.Austin: Yes, like that.
[12.08.2023 10:36:58] Ron.Boyd: I remember talking to George about Malta some time ago.
[12.08.2023 10:37:07] Matthew.Austin: That's not any shocking information, to be honest, media is still trying to open Liberty citizens eyes on that.
[12.08.2023 10:37:30] Akira-Zero2: hmm
[12.08.2023 10:37:40] Matthew.Austin: I mean, every person deserves second chance.
[12.08.2023 10:38:19] Ron.Boyd: Sure, but if it's all the same, I prefer they get their second chance in a place where if they relapse, I don't get shot.
[12.08.2023 10:38:35] Matthew.Austin: We hope the same.
[12.08.2023 10:39:06] Matthew.Austin: Liberty economy is should stay safe for everyone who tries to start their career here.
[12.08.2023 10:39:11] Ron.Boyd: I want to put you and George in a room at some point just to see what happens.
[12.08.2023 10:39:25] Matthew.Austin: Hah, maybe some time, maybe some time.
[12.08.2023 10:39:28] Ron.Boyd: He once told me that Malta is Liberty, but better.
[12.08.2023 10:39:38] Ron.Boyd: I couldn't see the appeal.
[12.08.2023 10:40:42] Matthew.Austin: I don't think Malta is better than Liberty by a lot of reasons. All House have their own problems and some of people thinking
[12.08.2023 10:40:53] Ron.Boyd: The Houses are their own worst enemy.
[12.08.2023 10:41:00] Matthew.Austin: that if there's no problems in other place - this place is best of the best.
[12.08.2023 10:41:40] Ron.Boyd: You say this in high orbit of a planet currently under a military occupation to hunt down Bretonian war refugees.
[12.08.2023 10:42:38] Ron.Boyd: A lot of people on Veracruz were Bretonian refugees fleeing Gallia, and considering LPI's policy of "we want prisoners"...
[12.08.2023 10:43:08] Matthew.Austin: Well, there were reasons for things which happened in Pennsylvania. First of them is Insurgents who came on this planet.
[12.08.2023 10:43:32] Ron.Boyd: Were they ever able to find any?
[12.08.2023 10:43:48] Ron.Boyd: I only heard the planet was put under occupation then complete blackout.
[12.08.2023 10:44:34] Matthew.Austin: Well, that's you hear, I hear that we starting watching for activity of planet by our satellite which were destroyed by missile
[12.08.2023 10:44:39] Matthew.Austin: launched from Erie planet.
[12.08.2023 10:44:47] Matthew.Austin: This were act of agression against Liberty Republic.
[12.08.2023 10:45:34] Matthew.Austin: Plus, refugee status of Veracruz were a big problem for us for a some months if not one year, at least when our fleet came to
[12.08.2023 10:45:44] Matthew.Austin: Insurgents home, Vespucci.
[12.08.2023 10:46:00] Ron.Boyd: It's still going to be a bureaucratic nightmare.
[12.08.2023 10:46:08] Matthew.Austin: We can allow them live but we cannot know what their next move is.
[12.08.2023 10:46:31] Ron.Boyd: Honestly? A blanket pardon might do a world of good.
[12.08.2023 10:47:12] Matthew.Austin: I mean, imagine if some of refugee start live in Liberty and take a bomb with himself. Imagine what he can do next alone with
[12.08.2023 10:47:13] Ron.Boyd: Tell them it's over, they surrender their gear and go home, and their backs aren't against the wall.
[12.08.2023 10:47:17] Matthew.Austin: some Liberty citizens.
[12.08.2023 10:48:02] Ron.Boyd: I honestly can't remember that kind of bombing.
[12.08.2023 10:48:10] Matthew.Austin: I think situation is going to end soon and then everything will be done. There's no time to judge anyone or discuss about
[12.08.2023 10:48:11] Matthew.Austin: anything.
[12.08.2023 10:48:20] Ron.Boyd: It's usually some maniac in a Roc.
[12.08.2023 10:49:11] Ron.Boyd: Or some Rheinland Military ships showing up, blasting a few civilian craft, and legging it, in the Omegas.
[12.08.2023 10:49:30] Matthew.Austin: As I said and say again: just stay with our forces and comply our law and everything will be good.
[12.08.2023 10:50:02] Matthew.Austin: And... I think, I should dock at Alma as fast as possible, my command is ordering to do it right now. Sorry, can't stay
[12.08.2023 10:50:03] Matthew.Austin: for now.
[12.08.2023 10:50:03] Ron.Boyd: I don't flout the law, I ain't setting foot on the Huntsville.
[12.08.2023 10:50:14] Ron.Boyd: Yeah, this stuff gotta get through.
[12.08.2023 10:50:27] Matthew.Austin: That was a nice talk, have a good day, captain.
[12.08.2023 10:50:32] Matthew.Austin: Wait, your ale!
[12.08.2023 10:50:33] Ron.Boyd: I'm sure I'll be seeing you around.
[12.08.2023 10:50:38] Ron.Boyd: I know.
[12.08.2023 10:50:41] Matthew.Austin: Okay, okay.
[12.08.2023 10:50:45] Ron.Boyd: We just have to vector a little. [12.08.2023 10:50:47] 2023-08-12 10:50:47 SMT Traffic control alert: Matthew.Austin has requested to dock
[12.08.2023 10:50:51] Matthew.Austin: Yes, understood.
[12.08.2023 10:50:58] Matthew.Austin: And I gonna dock too. [12.08.2023 10:50:58] 2023-08-12 10:50:58 SMT Traffic control alert: Ron.Boyd has requested to dock
[12.08.2023 10:51:00] Matthew.Austin: Have a good day!
