That Morganton guy that showed up just before you headed back to Ramsey? Kid's not a Xeno at all. He got the Rebel after it crashed on Pittsburgh, and apparently managed to get to Ontario by 'trial and error'. I can't say I bought it at first but, it seems a straight enough story.
I got him a room on Ramsey, he's resting up now. As for what to do with him, that I'll leave up to you. He's been searched for any communication devices, had none, and he's got no neural net access for the time being. Just in case my instincts are proven wrong.
Last thing. Apparently the kid's got some friends he had to leave behind that helped him get the ship working. I base off Pittsburgh anyway and so, I don't think a small-scale raid on a mining facility would be an unreasonable ask. He brought us back a repairable Rebel, figure it's the least we can do. I'll wait on your sign-off.
[29.04.2024 22:27:03] Morganton: Look, I'm-- I'm not a Xeno at all. I was hoping to bring this thing back to you. I didn't think I would make it this far.
[29.04.2024 22:27:24] XA-Christopher.Beltran: You're incredibly brave or incredibly stupid. Which one.
[29.04.2024 22:27:39] Morganton: Your guy, some... Ethan Bryant guy. He was in low orbit on Pittsburgh.
[29.04.2024 22:27:54] Morganton: I saw a blast coming from somewhere, and this thing landed in the dirt.
[29.04.2024 22:28:19] Morganton: Look, this fell into my lap. It was my only chance to get the fuck out of that pit.
[29.04.2024 22:28:32] XA-Christopher.Beltran: What's your job, kid
[29.04.2024 22:28:58] Morganton: Job...? I guess I used to be a mine worker. Please don't shoot me.
[29.04.2024 22:29:11] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Why'd you think I would?
[29.04.2024 22:29:41] Morganton: My foreman always says that there's a consequence for every action. And fuck, did I go off my hinges here.
[29.04.2024 22:30:08] XA-Christopher.Beltran: I base off Pittsburgh. It's not a pretty sight. And I don't mean the view.
[29.04.2024 22:30:32] XA-Christopher.Beltran: I'm going to assume you're not looking to go back?
[29.04.2024 22:30:59] Rules Tip: Do not disconnect from the server to escape player versus player interaction. Your ship will remain helpless in space for 2 minutes and you will not be able to reconnect during this time.
[29.04.2024 22:31:05] Morganton: I have no reason to anymore.
[29.04.2024 22:31:14] XA-Christopher.Beltran: We'll see.
[29.04.2024 22:31:16] Morganton: I should have done this sooner.
[29.04.2024 22:31:30] XA-Christopher.Beltran: What happened to Bryant? The fella whose ship you're flying.
[29.04.2024 22:32:17] Morganton: One day, I was taking my break at a refinery, when suddenly I saw a space craft flying very close to us.
[29.04.2024 22:33:09] Morganton: I went after it, and the next thing I know, some... kind of huge laser shot your guy's ship right through the stabi-- sta--
[29.04.2024 22:33:14] Morganton: The... stabil... the thing.
[29.04.2024 22:33:16] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Stabiliser.
[29.04.2024 22:33:28] Morganton: Yeah.
[29.04.2024 22:34:16] Morganton: I thought I could've made an easy credit by selling it for scrap to the Junkers, thinking it was just a shittle. Erm...
[29.04.2024 22:34:18] Morganton: Shuttle?
[29.04.2024 22:34:20] Morganton: Is that a word?
[29.04.2024 22:34:28] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Cut to the chase, kid.
[29.04.2024 22:34:35] XA-Christopher.Beltran: What happened to the guy.
[29.04.2024 22:34:45] Morganton: Fuck, I don't know what any of this means. Okay, so it was shot down. Guy inside, dead as a doornail.
[29.04.2024 22:35:06] Morganton: I don't know why, he was bleeding a lot.
[29.04.2024 22:35:29] XA-Christopher.Beltran: The man suffered a pretty big impact. Might be why, don't you think?
[29.04.2024 22:36:08] Morganton: Uh, look man. I'm not the smartest guy here. I wasn't on Pittsburgh out of my own free will.
[29.04.2024 22:36:18] XA-Christopher.Beltran: So? Why *were* you there?
[29.04.2024 22:37:05] Morganton: Well, I was just doing my job. It's the only way I can pay off my old man's debt.
[29.04.2024 22:37:15] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Figures.
[29.04.2024 22:37:37] XA-Christopher.Beltran: I'm guessing you've at least touched a ship's controls before, seeing as you made it here
[29.04.2024 22:37:48] Morganton: ...Trial and error...
[29.04.2024 22:38:05] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Pretty far to get based on just trial and error. These're pretty old boats.
[29.04.2024 22:38:31] Morganton: Well, your guy, he... he had instructions in some cabinet here. I'm sorry I had to break that open, too.
[29.04.2024 22:38:47] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Clearly wasn't the brightest if that's the case.
[29.04.2024 22:39:15] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Mm. That neural net transmission earlier. What was it.
[29.04.2024 22:39:17] Morganton: You said yourself, it's complicated to keep this bat up in the air. Erm, space.
[29.04.2024 22:39:32] Morganton: Which one?
[29.04.2024 22:39:41] XA-Christopher.Beltran: The one you tried pretty hard to quiet.
[29.04.2024 22:40:23] Morganton: Well, I kind of broke in this thing, a few friends helped me get this up in the air and it was the only way to... what's the -
[29.04.2024 22:40:29] Morganton: word... "bye past"?
[29.04.2024 22:40:41] Morganton: "Bye... bine past..."
[29.04.2024 22:40:42] Morganton: Bypass!
[29.04.2024 22:40:57] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Kid, just tell me what the damn transmission was.
[29.04.2024 22:41:27] Morganton: Yeah, that. Your... um, late Ethan friend. He had his own naural net ID connected to the mainframe.
[29.04.2024 22:41:38] Morganton: I had to shut it up, because it didn't recognise me.
[29.04.2024 22:41:45] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Mm.
[29.04.2024 22:41:49] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Your friends. Where are they.
[29.04.2024 22:42:17] Morganton: Still on Pittsburgh. Probably about to get the thrashings of their lives by my foreman for not knowing where I am.
[29.04.2024 22:42:28] Morganton: I said I'd help them, but fuck. I can't go back there!
[29.04.2024 22:42:41] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Don't make promises you can't keep.
[29.04.2024 22:42:41] Morganton: I'm not going to work myself to death for a stupid debt.
[29.04.2024 22:42:53] XA-Christopher.Beltran: You're leavin' them behind, then?
[29.04.2024 22:43:07] Morganton: What the fuck am I supposed to do?
[29.04.2024 22:43:18] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Mm. Name.
[29.04.2024 22:43:20] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Yours.
[29.04.2024 22:43:21] Morganton: I'm just going to end like your friend if--
[29.04.2024 22:44:04] Morganton: Oh, we aren't allowed to... well, if it helps, I'm their refinery employee 3B941. Um, Aslan Herrera.
[29.04.2024 22:44:16] XA-Christopher.Beltran: You're a name. Not a number.
[29.04.2024 22:44:34] XA-Christopher.Beltran: We're going to do the following.
[29.04.2024 22:44:56] XA-Christopher.Beltran: You're going to follow me to Ramsey, and I'm going to shoot you if you deviate from that course.
[29.04.2024 22:45:01] Death: GMS|Gallia.Light was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[29.04.2024 22:45:07] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Once we're there, we'll get you set up with somewhere to sleep.
[29.04.2024 22:45:14] Morganton: F-fuck. Okay. Got it.
[29.04.2024 22:45:35] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Good. You figured out how to fly close to someone else yet?
[29.04.2024 22:46:04] Morganton: Um. I just need to send the big lever on the right forward while pressing the button, and--
[29.04.2024 22:46:10] Morganton: No, wait. Back.
[29.04.2024 22:46:13] Morganton: Back. Damn it.
[29.04.2024 22:46:30] Morganton: [As the ship stopped, the boy inside grunted.]
[29.04.2024 22:46:36] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Left.
[29.04.2024 22:46:38] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Turn left.
[29.04.2024 22:46:53] Morganton: Ah, yeah. Okay, yeah that's the... meanuver-- maneuv--
[29.04.2024 22:47:02] XA-Christopher.Beltran: How old are you, kid
[29.04.2024 22:47:02] Morganton: Yeah, the thing that makes the thing go.
[29.04.2024 22:47:41] Morganton: Uh, hang on. Um...
[29.04.2024 22:47:47] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Use your fingers.
[29.04.2024 22:47:49] XA-Christopher.Beltran: To count.
[29.04.2024 22:48:11] Morganton: Yeah, we're not allowed to remember that either. Like, birthdays are useless man. We're never going to leave.
[29.04.2024 22:48:15] Morganton: Um, but.
[29.04.2024 22:48:29] Morganton: I know the digits in the serious code of my ID.
[29.04.2024 22:48:32] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Your birthday's the 29th of April 833 A.S.
[29.04.2024 22:48:36] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Congratulations.
[29.04.2024 22:48:54] Morganton: Um, cool! Uh, wait a sec.
[29.04.2024 22:49:00] XA-Christopher.Beltran: That's today.
[29.04.2024 22:49:32] XA-Christopher.Beltran: I don't pay it much mind but, there's a free republic. You might yet find a home there.
[29.04.2024 22:49:45] Morganton: 825... BX7... IO9... Yeah, last digits are 809. Uh, how old does that make me again?
[29.04.2024 22:49:54] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Twenty-four.
[29.04.2024 22:49:57] Morganton: I think it current spunds to-
[29.04.2024 22:50:22] Morganton: Oh. Uh, wow. Does that make me old?
[29.04.2024 22:50:35] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Not quite.
[29.04.2024 22:50:59] XA-Christopher.Beltran: You'll get a ping on Ethan's neural net. Accept it.
[29.04.2024 22:51:14] Notice: Armor Upgrades have been removed from the server. You will have received a full refund at purchase price.
[29.04.2024 22:51:19] XA-Christopher.Beltran: You see an option for formation autopilot??
[29.04.2024 22:51:31] Morganton: Uh, wow, thank goodness. I'm just asking, because if we can't pay our debts before turning 30 or 35 our contracts are -
[29.04.2024 22:51:35] Morganton: terminated.
[29.04.2024 22:51:40] Morganton: Yeah, I see it.
[29.04.2024 22:51:48] XA-Christopher.Beltran: I hate to break it to you, it already is.
[29.04.2024 22:52:00] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Hit that formation option.
[29.04.2024 22:52:06] Morganton: Got it.
[29.04.2024 22:52:10] XA-Christopher.Beltran: It'll save you from having to fly it yourself
[29.04.2024 22:52:12] Morganton: Ow. Ow! Sorry!
[29.04.2024 22:52:41] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Once we're docked, we'll try get you a place to rest. I'll speak to the Commander about what to do from there.
[29.04.2024 22:53:00] Morganton: Thanks a lot, sir.
[29.04.2024 22:53:07] XA-Christopher.Beltran: You will not be trusted. You will need to find something worthwhile to do.
[29.04.2024 22:53:11] XA-Christopher.Beltran: But, it'll be a home.
[29.04.2024 22:53:46] XA-Christopher.Beltran: So I'm told, at least.
[29.04.2024 22:54:10] Morganton: [He would quietly gulp.] Yeah. I can handle it.
[29.04.2024 22:54:25] XA-Christopher.Beltran: See that big asteroid in the distance?
[29.04.2024 22:54:25] Morganton: Can't be worse than Pittsburgh or Houston.
[29.04.2024 22:54:38] Morganton: Holy smokes, it's huge.
[29.04.2024 22:54:42] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Get used to it.
[29.04.2024 22:55:04] XA-Christopher.Beltran: One more thing, don't expect to have any neural net connections for a while. 'Till we know you aren't here to rat us out.
[29.04.2024 22:55:29] Morganton: No. No! I swear, I just came here to bring this back and maybe make a buck.
[29.04.2024 22:55:48] Morganton: And, like, this belonged to your Ethan guy, right? I can, like, cover for him or something.
[29.04.2024 22:55:55] Morganton: I'll learn!
[29.04.2024 22:56:03] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Commander's call. Not mine.
[29.04.2024 22:56:40] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Wouldn't count on becoming a combat pilot, though.
[29.04.2024 22:56:54] XA-Christopher.Beltran: It ain't all it's piped up to be, either way.
[29.04.2024 22:57:13] Morganton: Oh. Uh, no. No thanks. I'm not sure I can be a pilot. Do you have any idea how much I hurled because of those jump holes?
[29.04.2024 22:57:47] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Pretty sure I do now.
[29.04.2024 22:58:01] Morganton: Ohmigosh, is that a Battleship?
[29.04.2024 22:58:06] XA-Christopher.Beltran: It is.
[29.04.2024 22:58:41] Morganton: I hope you're not the Police or anything. That would suck.
[29.04.2024 22:58:57] XA-Christopher.Beltran: *he snorts in amusement*
[29.04.2024 22:59:01] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Dock.
[29.04.2024 22:59:13] Morganton: Uh, um. Okay. How do I-
[29.04.2024 22:59:23] XA-Christopher.Beltran: You press the button and let the autopilot take care of it.
[29.04.2024 22:59:35] Morganton: Wow, it can do that?
[29.04.2024 22:59:44] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Yup. I've cleared you with ATC already.
[29.04.2024 23:00:09] Morganton: Um, hey, whatever happens I am very sorry for pulling this stunt. I just wanted to get away from there, y'know.
[29.04.2024 23:00:25] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Sure.
[29.04.2024 23:00:37] Morganton: Oh. Uh. No. Stop the thrusters. Wrong button.
[29.04.2024 23:00:45] Morganton: Eep!
[29.04.2024 23:00:54] Morganton: Okay, that did a thing!
[29.04.2024 23:01:09] Morganton: That was so cool.
[29.04.2024 23:01:16] XA-Christopher.Beltran: Don't waste our ammunition stocks.
[29.04.2024 23:01:22] Morganton: Oh. Sorry, I forgot.
[29.04.2024 23:01:48] Morganton: I... hit the button. Do I just wait for it to happen, or what?
[29.04.2024 23:02:06] XA-Christopher.Beltran: More or less. See you aboard.
If he wants to join us, fine. And if he wants his friends rescued from their current predicament - also fine. I think our best strategic outlook in that regard is some of Milford's agents on the planet. Get our newfound friend to tell us who his friends are and I'll see that they're picked up and brought to us. I'm sure if they could figure out how to fix a Rebel without any real access to the tools we have here on Ramsey that they'll do wonders with said access and a little training.
Speaking of which, the kid will need training. Because even if I were to confine him to logistics, he needs to be capable of handling himself in order to avoid getting vaporized, or worse vaporizing himself. I'm entrusting this to you given that you have a handle on the situation and spoke to the kid. But you'll of course have my authority and access to our shared resources to pull it off.

Defense Wing responded to SOS and immediately engaged strike force with extreme prejudice. Targets were all disabled in short order, remaining two survivors were given the chance to withdraw if capable of achieving victory in their respective one on ones. The marauder class strike fighter was the only surviving element of the raiders to depart Ontario mostly intact to serve as a warning of the fate that awaits all non-humans in the Free State of Ontario.

Mark Hill reporting.
I'll say it's my first time on my Camara and the Alliance as a whole. Heard about a large gathering of Auxesian forces right outside Ontario. Sirens were blaring all across Ouray, so I decided to test this rig. I headed to the Ontario jumphole, confirming my suspicions. Nevertheless, I decided to aid our forces just as our heavier assets were being routed upon.
Despite the gunboats pounding on us from all directions, we managed to mop up all their snubcraft as well as the gunboats themselves except for one. I even saved a fellow Alliance member Christopher Beltran from having his ship disabled. I tried to pursue the gunboat \X/-Xoanon but it managed to escape to Kusari space and I had to call my pursuit.
I returned to Ouray for a glass of Liberty ale and some rest. At least my ship only took minor damage. Hopefully, I am going to requisition a Gunboat should larger threats appear, but for now I'm content with staying on my Camara.

Mark Hill reporting.
Once again, I was informed by the Commander that a confrontation was brewing up in New York. When I arrived at the vicinity of Planet Manhattan, there was an assortment of two LSF ships, three Rogue ships, and two pirate ships. It seems certain a conflict would break out within the next few minutes, and indeed, the Rogues started to attack the LSF contingent, forcing their gunboat to dock. Commander Cobra ordered us to engage the Rogues, eventually disabling them after a Navy battlecruiser appeared. Fortunately, reinforcements were on the way, including two gunboats and later the Harmony, and the battlecruiser was taken care of.
After this, two more Navy fighters showed up in the fight. They were content in engaging the two pirate ships. I made no effort to intervene, and the engagement went very closely until one burning Navy and pirate were all that remained. Meanwhile, Midian took care of the bounty hunter while the Navy fighter managed to disable the pirate, after which the Navy ship docked at Planet Manhattan.
My ship suffered some damage during the fight, though, but nevertheless, the Free Republic's forces prevailed in the end.
[06.05.2024 20:59:54] XA-"Rattlesnake": Two pirates, Rogue, two LSF, Manhattan.
[06.05.2024 21:00:04] XA-Cobra: On the way.
[06.05.2024 21:00:04] XA-Cobra: Hold out.
[06.05.2024 21:00:04] XA-"Rattlesnake": Could use a clean-up job.
[06.05.2024 21:00:19] XA-"Rattlesnake": Already took out one Navy pilot. Alan Jones, if the name rings a bell.
[06.05.2024 21:00:27] XA-Cobra: The FAT-M.
[06.05.2024 21:00:33] XA-Cobra: Or FADM.
[06.05.2024 21:00:33] XA-M.Hill-: We're en route.
[06.05.2024 21:00:43] XA-"Rattlesnake": Well. Guess I struck gold, huh.
[06.05.2024 21:00:49] XA-M.Hill-: Me and my gunnery crew will see to that.
[06.05.2024 21:01:46] XA-Cobra: Inbound. 10 seconds.
[06.05.2024 21:03:24] Death: Romer.Sway was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[06.05.2024 21:06:11] XA-Cobra: It usually is.
[06.05.2024 21:06:16] XA-Cobra: And I sort of prefer it that way.
[06.05.2024 21:06:18] Schwefel: B: Ehh.. we're just four camps casually talking.
[06.05.2024 21:06:29] XA-"Rattlesnake": You certainly are more of a diplomat than I.

[06.05.2024 21:08:04] Schwefel: B: Hmm...
[06.05.2024 21:08:06] [LSF-Confidence: RO: That's unfortunate.
[06.05.2024 21:08:08] XA-"Rattlesnake": Commander, I'll be back with a little more firepower.
[06.05.2024 21:08:11] XA-Cobra: Copy.
[06.05.2024 21:08:16] [LSF-Nighthawk: Ten to one they ignore you guys and zero in on us.

[06.05.2024 21:08:24] Pech: J: why do you need more firepower?
[06.05.2024 21:08:33] [LSF-Nighthawk: They can't crack that Hel.

[06.05.2024 21:11:02] [LSF-Confidence: RO: Buddy, the man's flying a Starflier.
[06.05.2024 21:11:06] Pech: J: Well, if they feel like they want to dance more. Why not.

[06.05.2024 21:29:14] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: Overestimated the navy boys I figure.
[06.05.2024 21:29:16] Schwefel: B: You got a point, little bro.
[06.05.2024 21:29:17] 46th|Leroy.Fishburne: Now that is a lot of undesirables.

[06.05.2024 21:33:35] Pech: J: Well, considering the amount of torpedos that came from that ship. I really doubt so.

[06.05.2024 21:34:20] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: Well unless you got a whole lotta flyboys up your pants I can't figure how our side has an advantage.
[06.05.2024 21:34:24] 46th|TFA-'Atlantis': You are.

[06.05.2024 21:38:09] XA-Cobra: Completely corrected.

[06.05.2024 21:44:33] Pech: J: It quite hot in here tho.
[06.05.2024 21:44:55] Pech: J: Uhh, was the plan. Just gotta wait for my bro to finish things off.
[06.05.2024 21:45:11] XA-Cobra: Starting to cook!

[06.05.2024 21:46:21] XA-"Rattlesnake": Seems a little excessive, Commander.
[06.05.2024 21:46:33] Pech: J: Come here and face me you coward!
[06.05.2024 21:46:38] XA-M.Hill-: Let's see who wins burning.
[06.05.2024 21:46:47] XA-"Rattlesnake": Get out of here, Pirate.
[06.05.2024 21:46:53] Pech: J: NO WAY!

Commander,
I woke up rushing on my freighter, only to see three Rogue ships just outside Fort Ramsey. Two gunboats and one fighter. It seems they somehow penetrated through the jumphole and were threatening us openly.
Although we managed to repel all of them with the aid of one Bristol gunboat, the FRS Broadhead and the BCV Milwaukee were disabled and had to be towed back to Fort Ramsey. It seems the Rogues may be planning something bigger. I request 1 (one) Condor-class gunboat as a result, in order to bolster our defenses.

during a recent engagement the captain of the FRS-Gorgon passed on. The vessel itself is currently moored at Milford undergoing repairs. I would like to ask if you would be willing to put the vessel under my command? After the repairs are complete that is. There recent developments in Liberty have me thinking that a heavier asset is required to keep our enemies at bay.
That's about it, hope you've been keeping well the past days. The lasses and lads over at Milford also extend their greetings.
I have no problem with this, but obviously ensure that the crew of the ship is willing to accept your leadership. See that the previous captain has a plaque placed aboard the ship somewhere to commemorate his sacrifice and service to the cause.
