Communication Systems [color=#33CC00]Online Encryption Initiated Logging to database ... Commander Andrew Wellows , LSFC Eolus Data Transfer Initiated...
Greetings LSF Command.
As we stated in our previous report filled by Dr. Gitta Cosman, we maintained in range of the gate and continued on experimenting with it's systems. Most unfortunate, we figured that the gate is not stable enough to safely allow the LSFC-Eolus to travel through. After gathering all of our satelites and research drones, we headed towards the Virginia Jump hole, which we found earlier. Via this system, we went back to Texas and finally landed on Juenau Shipyard in Alaska, where we'll attend to annual maintenance checkups and restock the ship.
I rendezvoused with the Secretary of Research & Development Division, Doctor Wilkins today, he said he needed an escort to the Kansas system for some research. Nothing worth mentioning happened during the escort. Once we got to the Kansas system, a person by the name [color=#FF0000]Eric Knox attempted to interrogate us over system comms. Doctor Wilkins ordered to maintain radio silence, which the both of us did. After a while, this man left the system.
While we were at Kansas, we travelled to the "Tuttle Creek Nebula", a dark purple cloud of matter. Whilst exploring it we discovered a wrecked Lane Hacker Sabre in the area. As we continued, the Doctor began to harvest some strangely indescribable nomad materiel from the nebula. Once we had enough, Doctor Wilkins left the nebula for a scan of the whole area, where he detected a strange signal.
As we followed the origin of the signal, we ended up finding an Unknown Jump Gate, possible of Daam'K'Vosh origin, or Nomad origin, we weren't sure, but it certainly wasn't made by Agiera. Upon further investigation, the Doctor found that it was encased with nomad matter, as well as a number of other things.
The Doctor then requested that I leave as the material he was dealing with was most likely to be highly classified, so then I returned to Kodiak.

Retransmitting Orders
LSF agent David Gee is ordered to stay on Kodiak Research Station, Alaska, and is requested to give back his personal weapons to the armory of the facility. An investigation on his misbehavior and attitude in space is currently underway. According to eyewitnesses and logs, Agent Gee shot a supernova torpedo on the LSFC-Eolus. Shortly after, he fired a supernova on one of the Kodiak's domes inside which Doctor Wilkins, in the Aspen Heights, was doing experiments on Nomad technology. Gee's action compromised the safety of everyone present in or around Kodiak through his actions. Disturbing live test on nomad technology is not a wise idea. Same for shooting on a Liberty Assault Battle Cruiser.
Failure to adhere will further aggravate the situation. If Agent David Gee is seen outside Kodiak research station, he is to be taken under custody immediately. In which case, he shall be kept in brig until he present himself at a court-martial.

I don't have much to say currently, as my research currently still under way.
My mother and I departed in mobile lab 13, the Aurora, to collect specimens from the multiple young nomads that can occasionally be seen around Alaska.
We collected 5 samples and quickly placed them in 5 of the 10 cryo-cubes our lab contains.
With the report of multiple unknown contacts in the system, which turned out to be a lost AI craft and a Order Carrier that was searching the area for a nomad capital vessel.
We kept the two contacts busy in till the navel cruiser "Fires of Liberty" showed up and scared them off"
We are now back on Kodiak to study the specimens we obtained with Dr. Wilkins.
More information on our studies will come later.

Adviser of R&DA
I was checking over our files when I realized the last time we had a reconnaissance operation in Rheinland was quite a while, so I decided to organize one of my own.
Once I deployed to the Hamburg system through the jumphole in Bering, I immediately cruised to the Battleship Westfalen in my Upholder, which I had modified with some extra scanning and jamming equipment. When I got near the battleship, I made sure to stay away from its firing distance, and I managed to take some readings. Unfortunately, it seems the Rheinland Military has improved its jamming and blocking equipment since I was unable to hack and get access into the battleship's data core. I did manage to get some information though, which may or may not help the Navy in coordinating attacks or our R&D Division in creating new weapons to counter the threat.
After scanning the Westfalen, I headed over to the Vierlande Prison and did the same. Essentially, I did the same for the battleships Strausberg, Altenburg, Koblenz, and Regensburg.
In addition to scanning those battleships, I was also able to pass by Brandenburg Border Statino. The target might've been considered insignificant, however I scanned it just in case anyway.
It appears to be a base run by the Landwirtrechtbewegung. I think we should notify Synth Foods immediately about this base so that they can begin sending in their agents to neutralize hostile targets within the area. The information about the base and its location could help the company defend its cargo from the Rheinland terrorist organization as well.
I'd also request a Junker to be placed on surveillance as well. While I did maintain stealth during the mission, I came across a junker named Mnemosyne. Although he pledged to keep quiet about an LSF agent in New Berlin, I'm not too sure we can trust him, as I did come across the [RM] after I had completed collecting my data. I suspect he may have warned them about LSF operatives conducting reconnaissance in Rheinland.
As I mentioned earlier, I did come across the Rheinland Military during my operation in the Frankfurt system, after I had collected the data and was heading back to friendly lines. A well known Junker by the name Eva McDowell had also showed up, and assisted the Rheinland Military officer in taking me down.
I managed to give them both a chase through the Frankfurt system, however problems arose once I managed to jump to New Berlin through a jump hole. Red Hessian drones had my cruise engines disrupted so I was unable to maintain the chase and my bomber came under fire from the [RM] ship as well as the Junker. I attempted to relay my data as well however I was too far behind enemy lines to do so as the Rheinland Military had the entire area jammed of communications. Luckily, I was able to send out a distress signal to a secondary fleet LSF agent named Norman O'Connor. He managed to come to my assistance in New Berlin and help me escape while I bluffed the Rheinlanders my surrender. While being chased in the Hamburg system however, we were forced to return fire. Luckily, we managed to get within range to send in the data back to Kodiak, so I did just that and covered Agent O'Connor in his retreat. By doing so, I was shot down, and so was Agent O'Connor. Luckily the Rheinlander's did not pick up our pods as they were cloaked.
A civilian transport ship came by and tractorred in our escape pods. As soon as we were rescued, the both of us forcefully took command of the ship, maintaining a cover as Red Hessian special forces. We managed to take down the security detail of the ship through non-lethal methods. We then commandeered the ship to Freeport 2 in Bering, making sure Rheinland Border Patrol did not find us when leaving the county. Once we got to Freeport 2, we released the ships crew and reported back to command.
I started my first patrol today, with very little to find. I did however hear many reports about a well known pirate the Joker in Texas and running a mock. I was on my own so I proceeded to find at least a few Liberty Navy ships before confronting him. This however seemed not to be going good at all, but I managed to find one bomber Pilot who was not busy. After checking the rest of California I headed back to New York where I caught a Lane Hacker who had been whining for the lack of action I had done in regards to the Joker. I then began to speak with him as he seemed rather displeased with myself, and managed to correct his views on myself without showing my true cards. As there was a Liberty Navy vessel there talking to him I saw no need of me to stay any longer then I needed to and Jumped in to New York.
As soon as I entered the system of New York I heard the Comm lines fill up, with one being the Joker. He had moved. I then proceeded to look for him and any of his companions with the assistance of the Liberty Navy to No Avail. He is likely docked somewhere in the Badlands or at Rochester in the safety of the Junkers at this very moment. So we now know of his most likely location to date.
After I ended the search, I started a long range scan of the sector. I found a possible build up of Rheinland Military over the border and the Liberty Navy begining to answer the build up. I had not the time to make preperations for a recon mission, but I however passed my intel to as many Liberty Navy pilots and Captains I could Find.
Sorry that this is breif
Sayanora and Good day. I will be in flight shortly checking on the trade routes in to and out of New York making sure that they are being used correctly and quickly with out danger to those Traders who remain Lawful. End Transmission

Konichawa, I have a rather interesting report.
I began another patrol last night, shortly there after I was requested to help the Liberty Navy after speaking with one of there Captains and narrowly avoiding The Joker at Norfolk. File One Myself and the Navy then worked on getting back up, managing to get a sizeable force to counter the possible 6 Gunboats that the Joker had with him, including himself. We also spoke with Civilians that had got through his blockade to gather accurate numbers. Soon we had the numbers we needed and went down the lane to meet the Joker and wipe him out. File Two We then presumed to begin our attack, attacking one gunboat at a time. We succesfully destoryed 4 gunboats including The Jokers own vessel. However it was rather hectic trying to dodge all the gunboat fire power so I could not get all the guncams that I wanted to get.
*hands tremble at the thought of all that fire power* File Three
Afterwards I thanked the Navy and the two pilots they had hired, a Mercenary or Freelancer and a Bounty Hunter. I also took a shot of the sensers feeds to show the Jokers Death. File Four
I then presumed my patrols. A while later a pilot contacted me about two Nomads he had in his hold. I set up to meet him for safe transfer of the cargos. He then approached me at the meeting place and then started claiming that the LSF has kidnapped him this morning and that the Order are now calling him a spy and demanded I repay the debt. I asked him to take this claim to the Directors, and left. File Five To confirm the pilots who was making the claims are have the following Comm ID's;
Rata.Ifectada
Pezuna.de.Gatito
Both was in Arrow Civilian ships, unknown IFF, and Mercenary Pilots. I had already seen both before taking out The Joker and neither said nothing then and only watched us.
I have not received any damage yet to my Fighter.
That is my report Directors.

Nikasha.Jinko, your reports were very interesting to read but, battle reports against Rheinland and/or pirates/terrorists are not really classified and belong in the Liberty Tactical Debrief Channel That is all and good work.

Greetings Directors of the LSF,
I am creating this secure communications channel as per request of Deputy Director Deus. It is about a technology developed by the scientists at Willard, it is device that lets users communicate with the Nomads without affecting nor influencing the user's mind, sort of like a protection.
Now you may question in the first place why I have such a device on me. A some point during a patrol to California. A transmission came from Willard saying, "This is Willard Research Station to LNS-Douglas, we need you here ASAP. We have a special device that we want you to use." They call this device the Telepathic Messaging Receiver, short for TMR
Since New York has been increasingly visited by Nomad Morphs, they gave it to me for the purpose of learning more about the Nomad species' behavior to why they are hostile to us. they believe that these Morphs are in their basic stage that learn and gather as much information as they can.
Subject Experiment #1: Namtar, Nomad Morph
I was at Norfolk shipyard when suddenly the scanners pick up a blue blimp(By the way this device makes a *ping* sound when it detects a Nomad signature) I then found a Nomad at the entrance at Z21 minefield. I know protocol says we have to kills them but I had to take the chance to try the new device out. By using this device, I can easily talk to it like having a conversation to a person. Firstly, I spoke words of peace to it. The Nomad get angry when humans get close it so I back off a little bit. At this time, I tried to learn why they are hostile to us. It's answer was that Sirius Sector is their home and that we invade their home. I tried to befriend the Nomad but it seems his mind was too angry to change. He shortly left afterwards.
There is another encounter with another one but I am awaiting your thoughts about this before transmitting the details. Please tell me what you think.
Now This one is very promising, I was at Planet Manhattan at that time when I picked it up on scanners about 14k from my position. I ordered the ship to go up and there it was a Nomand Morph. It was bit weird that I chased it all the way around the system. I tried to convinced it that I meant no harm. We were entering the Badlands when I decided to end the chase. I was returning to West Point when it suddenly came back but at a distance of 14k. We exchanged words and it seemed willing to establish friendly relations. The conversation continued for about 10 minutes until I informed Dep. Director Deus about the situation. He decided the put the Nomad to sleep. What happened next is that the Nomad ran away followed by Deus. After that he questioned me about why I was talking to it. And this is how the project came to be.

Greetings Directors,
I have spotted another Nomad this time in Pennsylvania. This one was hard to find but with the reports from civilians there. I managed to figure out it's location. I was careful to do this one in a secure place so I made sure to check the area for any unwanted person.
Attaching 7 files
Subject Experiment #3: Osilon, Nomad Morph
This one was found near the edges of the helium field in Penn. I secured the area so that nobody would see my experiment. I immediately ask it's location. And I got an answer which I attached to this file. Here are some logs from my experiment:
After that scanners showed a Freelancer with an Outcast, he talking about some bounty on me so they went to collect it. I had to interrupt my experiment and leave the area. I was surprised that the Nomad followed me. I realized this and took advantage of taking it to a secure location. I ask some few questions and it eventually left at a surprisingly fast speed I have never seen. Within seconds it was 7k just as I engaged cruise.
