A hectic day in the Taus it was, but not too bad. -
While Laura pulled off a suicidal movement on a Samarran Eagle, I faced their pilot Jared Nomak in a duel. The man did his best, but I kept the upper hand.
My bestest friend Tutashkia has also been taken down by an overkill of forces; the Storta "Day.Walker" was eliminated later on, aswell (It seemed not to be able to engage his cloak).
Last, the Outcast "SU27", who is now piloting a Tridente, stole my kill on his mate - so I stole his hull.
The second one was a bit spicy, a known pirate was blocking our way and we had to wait in a hot zone in Edinburgh until the road was cleared; in the end, everything went as planned.
Rather late I'll admit, so will keep it fairly succinct.
A small convoy from Falster to Harris, with some Super Alloy brought up to Siloso.
On the return journey a couple of days later, we headed through the Sigmas to New Berlin. Omega-7 had a rather keen pirate who met the might of our convoy. Claire didn't need to save me this time.

Pearce once more,
Another group of kills to report: The.Placeholder was fended off, but his cloak didn't mask his vapour emissions. We caught him again in Tau-37; he didn't last long.
It also seems Tutashkhia has a new toy, which we destroyed not once but twice. Not the best sport the second time, but the miners do need protecting.
I am reporting my personal results from three different engagements: One regular patrol in the Tau-37 system, one in T23 and one Java siege.
Before I go into detail - the OCR group is an Outcast military subsidiary mostly appearing in groups. They engage in piracy as much as in military operations.
A Tridente and Storta of theirs were destroyed in Tau 23 under heavy Guild fire, a bomber along with a random Sorta near Java and in Tau 37 they lost another Storta and Gunboat.

Hi.
While bringing in Basic Alloys from New Tokio to Siloso, I stumbled upon a pirate transport, which was located at the kyushy part of New Tokio - Kyushi gate.
At first, it seemed like he was blerghing out some stuff about a guy named William Cody. Sooner, Rather then later his story evolved among an onslaught, or so he claims. He also told me to scan his cargo, which involved some hefty equipment with classfied information onto them.
Eitherway, to the point. He threatned to supress us if we did not pay a 'sum'. I offcourse did not really bother with him, as we allready deal with Outcasts and nomads on a daily basis. I wouldnt be so worried about this, but I did feel the need to report as he did disable one of my cargo vessels.
The whole convorsation is recorded, which I am attaching right here, as I am flying this pod towards Java.
Do as you want with this, Discuss it, Throw it in the garbage can. I dont care. When I get to Java I will take a shower first. Stupid pods need to be bigger.
Attached log:
Riot.Rorry: Oh how pleasant!
IMG|Sanguine.Silverfall: Hmh?
Riot.Rorry: Do hold still IMG vessel *he smiles*
IMG|Sanguine.Silverfall: Right, Disabling tradelanes, Cant get any ruder?
Riot.Rorry: I've a message for you... and your entire organization...
IMG|Sanguine.Silverfall: That would be?
Riot.Rorry: Are you ready to convey my message?
IMG|Sanguine.Silverfall: Depends on what it is.
IMG|Sanguine.Silverfall: If its off utmost importnant.
Riot.Rorry: *he smiles* If you look in my hold you will see the remains of the cargo stolen from one William Cody of New York
IMG|Sanguine.Silverfall: Never heard off that guy.
Riot.Rorry: The Renegades took it right from under his nose... He was unable to defend himself from our onslaught...
Riot.Rorry: That does not matter, there are members within your group who do...
Riot.Rorry: Now then...
Riot.Rorry: What has happened to Cody is... well unpleasant
Riot.Rorry: We offered him a way out
Riot.Rorry: But he chose to ignore it...
Riot.Rorry: I am now offering the IMG| faction as a whole a way out aswell...
IMG|Sanguine.Silverfall: Offering us? A way out? Of what?
Riot.Rorry: A sum must be paid...
Riot.Rorry: One which will "protect" you from Renegade onslaught....
Riot.Rorry: Have your leaders contact me via the Nueral Net to work out details... But be sure to tell them this...
IMG|Sanguine.Silverfall: I dont know if you realise, but we never heard of these renegades?
Riot.Rorry: It is better to take the deal... then face ages of destruction.
Riot.Rorry: Got that all down?
IMG|Sanguine.Silverfall: I do.
IMG|Sanguine.Silverfall: But dont get me wrong
Riot.Rorry: Excelent... Be sure it get's to Henderson's desk...
IMG|Sanguine.Silverfall: We dont know you, so dont think my boss will really go into it.
Riot.Rorry: *he laughs* The IMG|'s previous bounty's on my vessel speaks to the contrary
Riot.Rorry: Now on to you
Riot.Rorry: For a lasting impression, I'm going to need you to drop all of your cargo into space.... and then destroy it.
Riot.Rorry: You'd best do that..... NOW
IMG|Sanguine.Silverfall: Why would I do that for you? One good reason?
Riot.Rorry: *he laughs* Do you really want me to show you why?
IMG|Sanguine.Silverfall: Because right now, Even thou, I dont think you really want to do that .
IMG|Sanguine.Silverfall: I am poweing weapons then,
Death: IMG|Sanguine.Silverfall was put out of action by Riot.Rorry (Gun)
Riot.Rorry: And don't forget it!
IMG|Sanguine.Silverfall: You may have gotten my vessel, but say goodbye to your 'suprression soon. We dealt with much worse!
Riot.Rorry: *he laughs* Somehow I doubt that...
IMG|Sanguine.Silverfall: You really do so? Outcasts? Nomads? You think we are affraid?
Riot.Rorry: You will be... oh, you will be.
IMG|Sanguine.Silverfall: Enough of this, Setting course in pod to Java. You will be dealt with accordingly.
Some convoys to file my paperwork for.
Taking the Quest out for a change, we hauled a good load of Silver to Harris. Miss McCarthy kept lookout for hostile eyes around the planet.
The we had quite a large one, watched by Alexandra, taking Niobium to New Berlin and then supplies for Falster. I've also been involved with some of the filling and selling of ores there.
One more recent convoy to Harris, another Silver drop for Planetform.
Kind regards,

Pearce reporting after finally getting back to Dounby,
After getting the call from Grundner, we assembled our wing outside Java and made our way down. Mission control had picked up the rogue ship near Baja and the Colonials. I didn't realise the planet was that habitable, but supposedly there was a base on the surface being bombarded. The new 'owner' of the lost battlecruiser, a madman by the name of Solan, was not cooperative and we had to act. Thinking he was going to dive into the atmosphere, the ship had to be destroyed. It was, as was the freelancer who was with him. With the latter dropped off to be interrogated on Pecos, we returned north.
I also found Argo (who has since 'upgraded' to a Ranseur) hassling one of our Sagarmanthas, but not for long.
Later on, we had a bit of an incident with an idiotic Cruiser captain. Some examples of the disregard she held for the civilians in the area... reminds me of what they did to Tau-44.
For the Guild,
Eric Pearce
A couple of kills to tally up,
After Dennis managed to escape from a couple of Corsairs, I heard the call out to deal with them. With everyone else on a break I guess, I hopped in the Marauder and met the two of them - Alonso and Mathis - near Freistadt. Even with the two of them against me, I quickly took out the bomber but was reminded of how thin my ship was in the end...
Still, that's two less Corsairs and I managed not to get captured and eaten. Yet.
My duty is to report only one convoy today, the others that I participated will be (hopefully) reported by my teammates or have already been reported.
The convoy followed a mining operation in which a new Freelancer Sarah.Oakley was hired. She did some strip tease for some of the miner boys who paid her, which drew the mining operation out a little but led to a lot of laughter. Miss Oakley proved a proficient scout and escort pilot when the convoy was slit by a jumpgate malfunction and she secured the lost transport.

This is my 2nd day on duty and I am trying to get rid of the report backlog that sprung up during my time in hospital. I landed myself there by ending a fight that was lost for me by a very risky carpet mining maneuver which blew up everything surrounding me, including me and the enemy craft.
1. (SR~Enzo.Cadiz' - Sabre - Samarran Raiders
This was the one I hit in the carpet minefield. I am not proud of it, but I think we won because I managed to neutralise the superior enemy craft.
2. Juan.Soto[101st] - Outcast
A mine ram when he was badly damaged sealed this Sabre's fate.
A day earlier, the OCR Outcast Warship group attacked. They were repelled:
3. [OCR]Rafael.Omerta - Outcast warship - assist
4. [OCR]Chrome - Outcast warship - assist
5. [OCR]Lance - Outcast warship - assist
A day earlier again, Nomad warships appeared. We covered the chase of the Lost Stars into Alpha by intercepting a cruiser-sized Alien ship in T37 and finished it off before it could assist the even larger Nomad.
6. {-Kingdom - Nomad Cruiser - assist
7. Tutaskhia - Pirate Gunboat - assist

Dear Guildmembers,
Clarence and I are fine. We are living on Gran Canaria and everything went well. We are happy and I think you might be interested in this. Stay safe out there and good luck.
Lot's of "special friends" in this one [Two XTF Snubs, One Bomber, One Storta].
First of all two Xtreme Fighters, who once again did their best on stomping IMGs nerves, but got pushed back and eliminated in the end.
The Storta once again was up to trouble and sat in the Java perimeter, therefore it was taken out, we lost one bomber, however the pod was retrieved.
Lastly,a known mercenary hunting us for the Corsair bounty board overstepped his boundaries and tried taking on my fighter on his "Eclipse" heavy bomber, naturally, he went down rather fast and did not manage to engage his cloak in time.

On an extra note, this report also marks my: 100th confirmed overall kill
18th capship kill/assist
82nd snubcraft kill
37th high-profile kill
