More stuff to report about. Some random pirate in a Cutlass Bomber, trying to cause havoc around Manhattan, and that all alone by himself, surrounded by the Navy. I have seen smarter individuals.
Next target was some random Lane Hacker I found in California, the typical behaviour of course. Running to that base, which totally doesn't exist, and then he began shooting me when he reached it. No idea why he didn't dock, it would have been better for his health if he did so.

Hackett here. Members of High Command I will like to report a Interesting encounter while we were responding to one of our sensor probes in the Alaska system. It would seem that two bounty Hunter core vessels were in the system. We established contact with the ships. Well the behavior of the Hunter was normal what we can expect but the really intresting part is why they were there.
They Claimed they were cleaning our back yard, last I re-call we didn't hire the core to clean up out theater from the Nomads and Order Terrorists. I was under the impression that's a job for the Liberty Security Force. Other then that the Hunters were cooperative but they were in battle cruisers. So the question here I ask what is the Liberty Security Force doing why aren't they doing their job in keeping Alaska secure ? I am also attaching these audio files to this report. .

Greetings sirs,
I began mt patrol today in the New York system. Things were fairly quiet at the time, so after a couple of sweeps I moved on to the Texas system when I received Intel reports of a vessel by the name of LordKaiser headed in that direction. Having met the vessel before and knowing that it was a Pirate Train, and it's captain a man who ran from me the last time, I waited above Houston for his arrival. Unfortunately, I positioned myself poorly and he made to Houston before I could interdict him. I managed a visual of his cargo hold, however. It was chock full of Cardamine.
Having been notified of his temporary grounding, I returned to the New York system, where I resumed my patrol. I chased a few scum out of the system, and returned to overwatch above Manhattan. When I arrived however, there was a veritable storm of activity going on due to the presence of a Zoner Dreadnaught by the name of MCS-Forlorn.Hope. I was looking to sort the issue out and order the vessel out of Liberty when it became apparent that the captain of the LNS vessel Liberty.TheLoneOne had somehow declared that the vessel was welcome, even going so far as to say that the captain of the "Forlorn Hope" was a friend of his. I tried to make it clear that this was not acceptable, but as I was doing so the "Lord Kaiser" slipped in towards Manhattan. I gave the order to burn the vessel, but it was too late. I was fast enough to snap another scan of his cargo hold, and sure enough, it was Cardamine again.
Turning my attention back to the Zoner Dreadnaught, I found that it had disappeared from Manhattan space. I ordered that it immediately halt and reveal itself, which it did. I transitioned to it's location near the West Point to California Jump Gate, where the captain of "The Lone One" followed me. The captain of "The Lone One" then began to attempt to tell me that in the absence of Primary command staff that the Secondaries have authority to allow such vessels into Liberty space. I repeated several times, having referenced the Laws of Liberty, that this was not the case, but the captain of the vessel continued to insist upon it, even going so far as to check with a "Judge" by the name of Logan to back him up. Thankfully we managed to agree that the Zoner vessel needed to be escorted out of Liberty space, and "The Lone One" took up this duty. Later intel reports however indicated that both vessels ended up in the Kansas system and that they were sharing a closed loop comm channel. Below is a GunCam of the "Forlorn Hope" being escorted towards California by "The Lone One".
The rest of my patrol was, odd, in that I had to deal with an amorous Lane Hacker by the name of Wren and a catty Rogue pilot by the name of Debbie flying a freighter I don't recall the name of. Honestly, the less said of these incidents the better, I believe. I ended my patrol at the Battleship Missouri after Recruit Kalen launched his patrol. I would like to note that Secondary Fleet pilot Batarian was most helpful in attempting to track down several Rogue vessels that were operating in Manhattan, even if we didn't manage to overtake them.
COMM ID: Ensign Alan Polstari TARGET ID: Primary Fleet Command HQ SUBJECT: Suspicious Trade Convoy ENCRYPTION: Medium PRIORITY: Medium
Greetings sirs,
I would like to report the sighting of suspicious trade convoy I saw operating while on patrol in the California system. To set the context, let me provide the background leading up to this report.
Secondary Fleet pilot Batarian and myself were flying on patrol in the Ontario system when we encountered a Lane Hacker gunboat. Thankfully we were there in time so that it payed attention to us instead of some commercial vessels that were returning from Alberta. Unfortunately we were outmatched by its firepower and armor and had to fall to the cover of the Ottawa, after which the Hacker fell back as well.
Having returned back to the California system we ran across the same vessels headed back to Ontario, except I managed to give a scan of them before they left. Several of the vessels were carrying Ship Hull panels by the thousands. While potentially just a group of vessels working a trade route, I found is suspicious that two [IND] tagged vessels, an OSI- tagged vessel, and a (Synth) tagged vessel would all be working together to haul material that could be used for building a base.
After a while, having dealt with several non-related issues, Mr. Malastar (Batarian) and I stood watch near the Cortez Jump Gate to see what we could see of them heading back. Sure enough, while a few of them took another route, I managed a scan of the (Synth) and one of the [IND] vessels. They were both carrying Industrial Materials by the thousands. Additionally, I managed to get an Intel report showing their ultimate destination to be in the Yukon system. While I was unfortunately unable to provide "escort" to see what their destination was, this report should at least provide a basis for a possible investigation should High Command deem it appropriate.

Greetings.
I have another combat battle report here on my hands. Another basic pirate attack from the California system that moved to the New York system to Engage us. The 2 pirates vessels were very aggressive and refused to leave and automatically targeted me; believing I was the weakest target due to my ship. I proofed the pirate scum of their wrong doing and destroyed one. But the other vessel which was a light class fighter was able to escape into the fields of the Califorina system. I'd say the tradelanes are clear. For the time being. After that we encountered another pirate which was a transport class vessel. We made short work of the problem.

Hello Commander.
Another Routine patrol from the California up to the Magellan system. We didn't find much but a hellfire legion pliot turned up and decided to have a duel with my patrol officer, Sanders. Easy to say the hellfire pilot was fairly beaten and run like a coward and docked at the local freeport station. I would also like to say that my 8 hour period of piloting are over. Just hope I can get back my "real" ship.

High Command,
time has come to make my first report here, I think. Not so long ago a member of the Hellfire Legion came across me at Manhattan, saying he would like to test the new recruits...I didn't say no to a duel to prevent more damage and got him blown up after the first few passes with some mines.
Just some minutes ago, when patrolling California with Roy Sanders, an Outcast Falcata appeared on my scanners near Mojave. I chased it back to the jumpgate to New York where it passed Sanders and jumped through the gate, not letting much time left. Hurrying after it, we both jumped as well and went after the Bomber to Manhattan, where it was shooting a tranport...and destroyed it quite fast. That was the time when I attacked him, trying to force him down. To hurry things up, a bit later Dudley Wilmott joined me with chasing the Outcast, what made the enemy finally explode. The area was secured and we continued our patrol.

Sanders here, with some damn good news for once. Persued a BDM U-boat to the border of Rheinland. We picked it up in Texas and chased it through California and back before finally turning it into a pile of debris in Hudson. Guncam shots are below. While we lost Harper's fighter, we tractored his pod and frankly I think that's more than an even trade.. feels good to see those bastards finally burning.
[color=#f7e0b9]In addition, I'd like to recommend Ensign Alan Polstari for a promotion. His training is coming along nicely and he has a solid head on his shoulders, and has also been taking some responsibility into his own hands by helping recruit Harper outfit his Executioner.
I'm going to hit the bar with Polstari, victory worth celebrating and all. Sanders out.

Greetings sirs,
At the request of Commander Sanders I am making the following report about a series of events that transpired while on patrol today.
I started my patrol off at West Point, and found Recruit Harper already on duty. I took note that Admiral Hale was also present. As I made to meet up with Recruit Harper my comm system began to come alive with reports from a "Rheinland Spy Drone" claiming it was hacking the Battleship Missouri. Arriving at the Missouri I found no sign of the vehicle or its companion. I can only assume that it was a PsyOp, but Harper and I began a sweep to find it. The LABC "The Lone One" was also sweeping for them.
Unfortunately as we were performing our sweep near Zone 21, a pair of Wilde appeared from that direction. Admiral Hale gave explicit orders that we were to make them our top priority, so we abandoned our chase of the drones and persued the Wilde. We ghosted them back and forth through Southern New York near the Texas exits, through which they managed to make it into Texas. Fortunately we were able lane through Texas and cut them off from the exits into Hudson/Bering, with the LABC joining us. As we played more cat and mouse with them near the southern exits, a Vagrant Raider showed up and began to verbally harass us. Given that our orders were to focus on the Wilde we ignored the Vagrant. We were fortunate in that an LPI Officer Mark Stone and the Gunboat LNS "Paxutent" showed up and helped us wall off the system. We weren't able to plug every hole however, and the Wilde fell back through the New York Jump Hole and then through Pennsylvani to California. Harper, the "Paxutent", "The Lone One", and myself persued to California. While we were not able to catch up with them, Intel confirmed that they exited Liberty space through Cortez.
It was at this time that the "Paxutent" reported contact with a Nomad creature near L.A. Harper and I made off towards the last reported sighting along with the LABC, who's firepower I knew we would need to handle the creature. While we managed to get on it's tail (myself having taken a wrong turn on a lane in an attempt to cut ahead), Harper reported that the creature exited through to Cortez as well. When we had mentioned the Wilde who had recently passed through, the creature, an "~Aurora~", mentioned its dislike of the beings. Based on that and later Intel reports I doubt that the Wilde and Nomad incidents were related by anything more than mere chance timing.
The rest of our day's patrol will be summarized by Commander Sanders himself.
After Action report:
Yesterday there was a matter with drones trying to scan military facilities trying to get information of Alaska, after successfully chasing away the drones i assisted in tailing it and covering gates out of the system with Alan. also assisted by a LPI Mark.Stone who has recently applied to join the LN and is pending until someone can read it. chasing the drones for about 45 minutes they slipped out from our reach and headed up north. we are keeping a lookout for the drones currently. A more in depth version of it is the same as the post above this one.
