Encryption: High
My first day on patrol, after confirming elimination of Legion threat, agent Stephanie went to write a report and I continued with my patrol.
At Westpoint Academy I have noticed a Navy Gunboat, I hailed it, but it started showing me some visions, I was very confused at the time and just when I was about to inform of its strange presence. It fired on me it was quick.
My ship got badly damaged barely made it out.
Here are the details:

Due to my ship's condition I wasn't able to prevent him from entering Alaska, but after some adjustments, I entered Alaska and continued the pursue. And with a little help from Navy we tracked him down and destroyed him.

Regarding : XA- activity in Texas
While on undercover operations today in Texas the Skip.Raider encountered an XA- Hegemon mining in the deeper radioactive scrap field while investigating . To maintain established cover I posed as a freelancer, attempting to gain information on his activities inside the system and whether or not the ship was attempting to salvage anything in particular. Unfortunately immediatley upon striking up conversation the ship attempted to flee and the decision was made to destroy it.
Shortly after this it was decided to continue patrolling the fields in order to determine whether its operation in the field was simply material gathering or if something of particular value was hidden in the field. The same pilot, piloting an identical ship was found. Once again he immediately attempted to flee and was destroyed.
It was then encountered once more in the same area, this time the decision was made to allow the ship to flee in order to follow it and learn of its destination. It then proceeded to dock on a base called Oyster Creek, a base that is legally registered within the Republic of Liberty. Its weapons platforms were hostile to my ship but allowed the XA- ship to dock. If guncam images of the other killshots is examined, it appears both of these times the ship in question attempted to flee to this installation each time. I am unsure of what is occurring on board, but at the very least this base is directly aiding in their operations in Texas.
To maintain cover, if this information is presented it should be given from the point of view of a Freelancer.

Regarding: Nomad Activity in New York and the Borderworlds
[A direct copy of this will also be sent to Liberty Government via the Neural Net.]
This message is primarily intended to share a different threat that occurs alongside the Gallic invasions and the Nomad incursions. Attached below are heavily edited conversation logs with two informants claiming to have information on Battlegroup Auxesia, that group of former Core that settled in Coronado roughly a month ago, and hearsay evidence of Nomad influence and corruption within. The logs have been edited to preserve their anonymity at their request, and was a condition of their sharing with me. They will be referred to as 'L' and 'S' for the purpose of reducing confusion. This information coupled with the chase that led a group of LPI and LN primary fleet members to Kansas and Humboldt a few days ago is enough evidence to list them as enemies of the state, though doing so publicly will only solidify their ties to the Hellfire Legion or provoke their 'allies' to retaliate.

===IRRELEVANT ENTRIES REMOVED TO REDUCE CLUTTER===
[29.12.2015 23:33:08] L: Maybe they're freaking out because of Tarlach or something....
[29.12.2015 23:33:18] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Who is Tarlach?
[29.12.2015 23:33:27] S: Sis' pet...L----..
[29.12.2015 23:33:33] S: Why do you know about this one?
[29.12.2015 23:33:36] =LSF=Presque.Isle: A pet?
[29.12.2015 23:33:42] S: A small Nomad.
[29.12.2015 23:33:50] =LSF=Presque.Isle: I....what?
[29.12.2015 23:33:52] L: Found it near New London, it didn't attack me.
[29.12.2015 23:33:56] =LSF=Presque.Isle: You have a pet nomad?
[29.12.2015 23:33:59] S: I dont.
[29.12.2015 23:34:03] =LSF=Presque.Isle: We will be vigilant.
[29.12.2015 23:34:10] L: Then found Sapphire around and it was with her
[29.12.2015 23:34:13] =LSF=Presque.Isle: She is not the only suspicious one.
[29.12.2015 23:34:17] S: It was with her hai..
[29.12.2015 23:34:24] S: Multiple times.
[29.12.2015 23:34:24] L: Told me that it wasn't connected to the others and that sort of thing.
[29.12.2015 23:35:15] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Tell me more of this.
[29.12.2015 23:35:25] L: So it basically was friendly, maybe they're freaking out about it?
[29.12.2015 23:35:26] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Though perhaps it is best done over more...secured communications.
[29.12.2015 23:35:32] S: Perhaps.
[29.12.2015 23:35:37] L: Um.... yes, I guess it'd be.
[29.12.2015 23:35:42] S: This is...
[29.12.2015 23:35:46] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Transmitting a secure frequency via laser.
===SECURED COMMUNICATION ESTABLISHED...FOLLOWING INFORMATION MARKED 'EYES ONLY' LSF HICOMM/LIBERTY PRESIDENT===
[29.12.2015 23:36:08] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Testing communcation link....done.
[29.12.2015 23:36:27] S: Well...you can hear me clearly?
[29.12.2015 23:36:30] =LSF=Presque.Isle: I feel it best to let you know that everything we say from here will be recorded.
[29.12.2015 23:36:33] L: Um... ok, testing
[29.12.2015 23:36:39] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Yes, you are clear. L is as well.
[29.12.2015 23:36:42] L: Alright
[29.12.2015 23:37:00] S: Alright. Hm, one request.
[29.12.2015 23:37:01] =LSF=Presque.Isle: So, this Nomad, and Sapphire Raven.
[29.12.2015 23:37:08] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Go ahead.
[29.12.2015 23:37:24] S: When this will be used against her, I would like to stay anonym. Even though it could be easy to guess for her..
[29.12.2015 23:37:26] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Don't risk yourself over it.
[29.12.2015 23:37:32] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Just...if it comes along.
[29.12.2015 23:37:54] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Ideally we will not move against them publicly.
[29.12.2015 23:38:07] L: Huh? Um... ok?
[29.12.2015 23:38:17] S: Good. As I must admit, that I have close ties to her.
[29.12.2015 23:38:22] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Announcing that they have become enemies of Liberty tends to drive your targets out of the systems you can easily intercept.
[29.12.2015 23:38:38] S: Hm, makes sense.
[29.12.2015 23:38:43] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Honey, not vinegar.
[29.12.2015 23:38:54] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Right now all the LSF is concerned about is information.
[29.12.2015 23:38:58] L: Um.... I don't really think they're enemies that much....
[29.12.2015 23:39:03] S: L----...
[29.12.2015 23:39:07] L: What?
[29.12.2015 23:39:18] S: I couldn't tell for sure.
[29.12.2015 23:39:28] S: They...have done enough.
[29.12.2015 23:39:33] L: Oh....
[29.12.2015 23:39:45] S: Back to the topic.
[29.12.2015 23:39:56] =LSF=Presque.Isle: *waits for them to continue*
[29.12.2015 23:40:23] S: Well, so this Nomad, they called it..Tarlach...
[29.12.2015 23:40:29] S: I saw Sapphire with it twice.
[29.12.2015 23:40:31] L: Eh.. well, there's a nomad around that they know, it's name is Tarlach.
[29.12.2015 23:40:43] S: Mhm, no three times even.
[29.12.2015 23:40:52] S: Once during the battle of California even.
[29.12.2015 23:41:01] S: I flew around with her....and it.
[29.12.2015 23:41:05] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Indeed.
[29.12.2015 23:41:09] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Please continue.
[29.12.2015 23:41:31] L: I met it twice myself, both times in New London, once it was with a larger nomad, it found me, but instead of attacking me the-
[29.12.2015 23:41:33] S: Sadly, it was just...like she wanted to show it, human battles....it got afraid.
[29.12.2015 23:42:11] L: they... like, talked to me instead of shooting.... I don't know if it's talking or not, because they speak and I, like, hear in
[29.12.2015 23:42:47] L: My head, but basically they asked me stuff and weren't aggressive, until some BAF appeared and started shooting at them.
[29.12.2015 23:42:55] L: But the nomads didn't shoot at me.
[29.12.2015 23:43:13] =LSF=Presque.Isle: We have heard of this before.
[29.12.2015 23:43:37] S: Mhm, right...one time I saw it in New London too, L was around as well..
[29.12.2015 23:43:42] S: It didnt appear to be hostile.
[29.12.2015 23:43:49] =LSF=Presque.Isle: You might wish to poke around a bit.
[29.12.2015 23:44:03] =LSF=Presque.Isle: I'm guessing this was a small morph?
[29.12.2015 23:44:09] L: And the second time, I met sapphire and she showed it to me, it was pretty passive again.
[29.12.2015 23:44:14] L: Nope, not that small
[29.12.2015 23:44:14] S: Mhm, Yes. A small one.
[29.12.2015 23:44:24] S: Well, a...what did they call it...Rabisu?
[29.12.2015 23:44:30] L: I detected more energy than normal on it
[29.12.2015 23:44:30] =LSF=Presque.Isle: I don't suppose you -
[29.12.2015 23:44:34] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Oh, I see.
[29.12.2015 23:44:48] S: Or Predator..who knows, cant tell which one is which type..
[29.12.2015 23:44:51] L: Basically, like, if thrown at ships, it'd damage capital ships
[29.12.2015 23:44:56] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Previously only the smallest of Nomad morphs showed any sign of curiousity over aggression...
[29.12.2015 23:44:58] L: Like a bomber
[29.12.2015 23:45:08] S: Mhm, yes.
[29.12.2015 23:45:15] =LSF=Presque.Isle: If a larger morph is doing the same, this changes things.
[29.12.2015 23:45:23] S: Oh, I already had this...
[29.12.2015 23:45:29] S: But this isnt the matter right now.
[29.12.2015 23:45:36] L: Oh I met the little ones, but it was bigger, and seemed to act like a bomber.
[29.12.2015 23:46:17] =LSF=Presque.Isle: So it shows no hostility towards Raven and her group in the Taus...
[29.12.2015 23:46:20] L: Well, the second time I met it, it was with Sapphire, and she explained to me that he... or it, I don't know, wasn't like the -
[29.12.2015 23:46:22] =LSF=Presque.Isle: And by extension towards you.
[29.12.2015 23:46:27] S: Well.
[29.12.2015 23:46:30] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Oh, please go on.
[29.12.2015 23:46:35] S: It showed no hostility towards me as well.
[29.12.2015 23:46:38] S: But.
[29.12.2015 23:46:40] L: Others, he's actually pretty passive and friendly even.
[29.12.2015 23:46:48] S: Apparently it trusted Sapphire, but not me.
[29.12.2015 23:46:54] L: It didn't show hostility to me earlier even when it wasn't with Sapphire.
[29.12.2015 23:47:10] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Indeed?
[29.12.2015 23:47:10] L: It actually was with a capital-sized ship
[29.12.2015 23:47:23] L: I mean, capital-sized nomad
[29.12.2015 23:47:25] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Capital Nomad morph?
[29.12.2015 23:47:29] L: Yeah
[29.12.2015 23:47:34] S: Mhm..
[29.12.2015 23:47:38] =LSF=Presque.Isle: And it still did nothing to attack you?
[29.12.2015 23:47:44] L: Not as big as a battleship though, but larger than a gunboat
[29.12.2015 23:47:46] S: Nope...they didnt.
[29.12.2015 23:47:49] L: Nope, it didn't
[29.12.2015 23:47:52] S: I was there too.
[29.12.2015 23:48:01] =LSF=Presque.Isle: This flies in the face of everything we think we know of them.
[29.12.2015 23:48:01] L: I talked with both
[29.12.2015 23:48:13] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Did this Tarlach appear...injured
[29.12.2015 23:48:14] S: I arrived after the talking was done...sadly.
[29.12.2015 23:48:15] =LSF=Presque.Isle: ?
[29.12.2015 23:48:17] L: Nope
[29.12.2015 23:48:21] L: He seemed perfectly fine
[29.12.2015 23:48:23] S: Not really....
[29.12.2015 23:48:28] S: It was more...
[29.12.2015 23:48:33] S: Like having much too much energy..
[29.12.2015 23:48:34] L: At least until the BAF started shooting at him.
[29.12.2015 23:48:41] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Well, defense I understand.
[29.12.2015 23:48:57] S: Heh, the BAF wanted to shoot at us too...
[29.12.2015 23:48:58] =LSF=Presque.Isle: You or I would have done the same.
[29.12.2015 23:49:03] S: After the Nomads retreated.
[29.12.2015 23:49:16] L: Well.... My ship isn't very good for defense
[29.12.2015 23:49:18] S: They wanted us dead, because we did not help them.
[29.12.2015 23:49:38] =LSF=Presque.Isle: War nerves, I am assuming. Usually they are much more accomodating.
[29.12.2015 23:49:39] L: My license doesn't really let me have weaponry to the point of active lethality
[29.12.2015 23:49:54] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Curious restriction in these times, but all right.
[29.12.2015 23:50:11] =LSF=Presque.Isle: So we have a total of three sightings with Raven, her group, and this Tarlach.
[29.12.2015 23:50:19] L: Not that curious, I'm too young to have guns
[29.12.2015 23:50:21] L: Oh
[29.12.2015 23:50:23] S: Mhm...without this Nomad..
[29.12.2015 23:50:31] =LSF=Presque.Isle: All three encounters were peaceful until they were fired upon.
[29.12.2015 23:50:32] S: Without it, I saw her much more often.
[29.12.2015 23:50:38] S: No no..
[29.12.2015 23:50:43] =LSF=Presque.Isle: A recent addition of sorts?
[29.12.2015 23:50:50] S: The one in Coronado was completly peaceful.
[29.12.2015 23:51:04] S: There was noone around to shoot at the Nomad.
[29.12.2015 23:51:05] S: And..
[29.12.2015 23:51:06] L: I saw Sapphire earlier more often.
[29.12.2015 23:51:13] S: They, this means...Sapphire and it...
[29.12.2015 23:51:19] S: Talked about...well, friendship..
[29.12.2015 23:51:27] S: The Nomad wanted to know what it is..
[29.12.2015 23:51:40] S: And apparently...tried to say, that Sapphire is a friend for it.
[29.12.2015 23:52:00] =LSF=Presque.Isle: That alone is enough to forever bar them all from Liberty space.
[29.12.2015 23:52:09] S: Hmh, this alone..
[29.12.2015 23:52:16] S: You know about more, right?
[29.12.2015 23:52:23] L: Alone, right?
[29.12.2015 23:52:26] S: What they have done, here in Liberty.
[29.12.2015 23:52:35] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Were there other encounters in which Raven discussed the Nomads with you or between themselves?
[29.12.2015 23:52:39] L: I mean, with the context.... It'd need investigation, right?
[29.12.2015 23:52:56] =LSF=Presque.Isle: I have heard some of it. Likely, as those closer to her and hers you know about more of it than even I do.
[29.12.2015 23:53:06] S: Not that I remember. And yes..
[29.12.2015 23:53:12] S: I do know a bit too much if you ask me.
[29.12.2015 23:53:19] L: Well, Raven used to really dislike them, helped fight them in Omicron Delta
[29.12.2015 23:53:28] =LSF=Presque.Isle: I know they led the LPI and some first fleet on a merry chase the other day, and have likely allied with the Hellfire Legion -
[29.12.2015 23:53:31] =LSF=Presque.Isle: - remnants.
[29.12.2015 23:53:36] L: Uh... I maybe know too much as well, Omicron exploring is... weird
[29.12.2015 23:53:39] L: Omicron 92 is fun
[29.12.2015 23:53:44] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Indeed.
[29.12.2015 23:53:50] S: Well.
[29.12.2015 23:54:03] S: Their ties to the Legion are still strong.
[29.12.2015 23:54:07] S: This is for sure.
[29.12.2015 23:54:18] S: Their reasons, are something else.
[29.12.2015 23:54:33] =LSF=Presque.Isle: I imagine it's because they need to repair that cruiser of theirs.
[29.12.2015 23:54:38] L: I don't really know about the Legion myself, but one of those guys insulted me they shot a passive outcast
[29.12.2015 23:54:45] S: Thats the main reason, aye.
[29.12.2015 23:54:52] S: Uhm.
[29.12.2015 23:54:56] L: I mean, when they shot him and I wasn't happy about shooting.
[29.12.2015 23:55:15] S: So yes..
[29.12.2015 23:55:29] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Passive outcast?
[29.12.2015 23:55:41] L: Wasn't pirating, and I think it was actually leaving Liberty space
[29.12.2015 23:55:52] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Indeed.
[29.12.2015 23:56:07] S: Hm.
[29.12.2015 23:56:18] S: May I add something..?
[29.12.2015 23:56:24] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Of course.
[29.12.2015 23:56:35] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Currently I wish to learn all I can about them.
[29.12.2015 23:56:40] L: But eh... I met Sapphire earlier, most I remember about her discussing about the nomads is disliking them a lot
[29.12.2015 23:56:59] S: Sapphire, and her group...mhm, lets say...they sort of see themselves in need...to protect Kansas from outsiders..
[29.12.2015 23:57:13] S: I wonder if the LSF knows why..
[29.12.2015 23:57:28] L: Actually wanting to hunt them down, she used to be in the Core, but broke off, I think it was to hunt them.
[29.12.2015 23:57:32] S: Sapphire even told me to stay out of Kansas for my own safety..
[29.12.2015 23:58:03] L: Wait what about Kansas? I went there earlier, it was pretty much K.
[29.12.2015 23:58:07] L: I mean, ok.
[29.12.2015 23:58:26] =LSF=Presque.Isle: First, let me ask you a question - why would you effectively betray Raven like this?
[29.12.2015 23:58:37] L: Betray?
[29.12.2015 23:58:40] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Yes.
[29.12.2015 23:58:46] L: What?
[29.12.2015 23:58:48] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Unless this is something she wants to happen.
[29.12.2015 23:58:59] S: I am afraid that her doing...endangers me and...somebody else.
[29.12.2015 23:59:08] S: My close ties to her...already caused me enough trouble.
[29.12.2015 23:59:10] =LSF=Presque.Isle: If she is allied with the Hellfire Legion and has Nomad ties she is naturally an enemy of Liberty.
[29.12.2015 23:59:18] L: Um... she told me to tell others and that it could find help, I....
[29.12.2015 23:59:19] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Someone else you say.
[29.12.2015 23:59:20] L: ...
[29.12.2015 23:59:25] S: Someone else.
[29.12.2015 23:59:30] =LSF=Presque.Isle: It could find help?
[29.12.2015 23:59:31] L: What?
[29.12.2015 23:59:35] S: Mhm.
[29.12.2015 23:59:40] =LSF=Presque.Isle: It, being Tarlach?
[29.12.2015 23:59:59] =LSF=Presque.Isle: I suppose there is no harm in telling, since the news will be awash with it soon enough.
[30.12.2015 00:00:16] =LSF=Presque.Isle: A Nomad morph, larger than we've ever encountered, made an appearance outside of Fort Bush.
[30.12.2015 00:00:24] L: I meant that I could find help for them and the nomad.
[30.12.2015 00:00:25] =LSF=Presque.Isle: After a tense battle it...left.
[30.12.2015 00:00:39] =LSF=Presque.Isle: They have clearly found it in the Hellfire Legion.
[30.12.2015 00:00:50] =LSF=Presque.Isle: And they wish to destroy all we stand for.
[30.12.2015 00:01:02] =LSF=Presque.Isle: By extension, they also are our enemies by doing so.
[30.12.2015 00:01:08] S: I guess you understand...
[30.12.2015 00:01:17] S: Why I dont want to have anything to do with this.
[30.12.2015 00:01:19] L: Does it matter? I mean, I barely know what that Legion is about, but you clearly don't like them
[30.12.2015 00:01:27] S: I want to life in peace...with this certain "someone"
[30.12.2015 00:01:38] L: But if it's to get help from them, wouldn't that even eat the Legion's resources and help you actually?
[30.12.2015 00:01:39] S: Konbanwa...Walker.
[30.12.2015 00:02:10] =LSF=Presque.Isle: That heavily depends on whether they assist Hellfire with attacking us in return for their aid.
[30.12.2015 00:02:20] L: Oh
[30.12.2015 00:02:32] S: Hm, they did already..
[30.12.2015 00:02:38] =LSF=Presque.Isle: There you have it.
[30.12.2015 00:02:48] S: I just say, Zone-21.
[30.12.2015 00:02:50] S: And
[30.12.2015 00:03:06] S: This Navy installation that was..is..dont know..there.
[30.12.2015 00:03:07] =LSF=Presque.Isle: I can see why you would not wish to associate with them any further.
[30.12.2015 00:03:18] L: But... uh, I don't really mean to betray her or anything.
[30.12.2015 00:03:18] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Athena Station, I'm assuming?
[30.12.2015 00:03:34] S: Hai.
[30.12.2015 00:03:37] =LSF=Presque.Isle: As I said originally, I don't intend to move against them publicly.
[30.12.2015 00:03:45] S: A wise move..
[30.12.2015 00:03:49] =LSF=Presque.Isle: This is a matter above even my own personal jurisdiction.
[30.12.2015 00:03:59] S: Mhm, yes.
[30.12.2015 00:04:00] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Which, I can assure you, is quite expansive.
[30.12.2015 00:04:09] S: Already guessed this way.
[30.12.2015 00:04:09] =LSF=Presque.Isle: The nomad connection changes...everything, really.
[30.12.2015 00:04:16] S: Yes..
[30.12.2015 00:04:16] L: I mean, if she has a friendly nomad, it has got to be helped actually
[30.12.2015 00:04:22] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Now, since you have scratched my back, so to speak.
[30.12.2015 00:04:25] =LSF=Presque.Isle: No, it doesn't.
[30.12.2015 00:04:32] L: Maybe that way....what?
[30.12.2015 00:04:35] =LSF=Presque.Isle: We know nothing of why this nomad is being friendly.
[30.12.2015 00:04:44] S: I could think..
[30.12.2015 00:04:48] =LSF=Presque.Isle: We can infer from your reports that it is not under the influence of the others.
[30.12.2015 00:04:53] S: About a trap, they might want to trap Sapphire.
[30.12.2015 00:04:56] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Therefore, at best, it is acting alone.
[30.12.2015 00:05:04] L: Yeah, but maybe we could figure out a way that could help find others like it or that sort of thing.
[30.12.2015 00:05:24] =LSF=Presque.Isle: There was once a Nomad like that, callsign Aurora, a long time ago...
[30.12.2015 00:05:29] S: Mhm..
[30.12.2015 00:05:39] L: ....Wait, Aurora?
[30.12.2015 00:05:41] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Suffice it to say that it did not end well.
[30.12.2015 00:05:45] L: Oh, no
[30.12.2015 00:05:51] S: Mhm.
[30.12.2015 00:05:57] L: Sorry, error with comms
[30.12.2015 00:06:02] L: But what do you mean?
[30.12.2015 00:06:06] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Any nomad is a threat to humanity.
[30.12.2015 00:06:13] L: I mean.... Aurora?
[30.12.2015 00:06:15] =LSF=Presque.Isle: We have to treat them as such...
[30.12.2015 00:06:26] L: I heard that name before around.....
[30.12.2015 00:06:30] L: Never knew what it meant
[30.12.2015 00:06:42] =LSF=Presque.Isle: There was a battleship analog named Aurora that came to the aid of Liberty several years ago, however temporarily.
[30.12.2015 00:06:47] =LSF=Presque.Isle: We do not know what became of it.
[30.12.2015 00:06:58] =LSF=Presque.Isle: I am assuming it was destroyed completely by its own kind.
[30.12.2015 00:07:02] L: ....
[30.12.2015 00:07:08] S: Hmph..
[30.12.2015 00:07:12] L: That's more reason to help it then! So that doesn't happen again!
[30.12.2015 00:07:21] S: Heh..
[30.12.2015 00:07:33] =LSF=Presque.Isle: We know from observation that smaller nomads are subject to larger ones...
[30.12.2015 00:07:39] S: Yes.
[30.12.2015 00:07:41] S: as I said..
[30.12.2015 00:07:50] S: They could try to trap Sapphire and her group
[30.12.2015 00:07:54] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Therefore, at any time, it could revert to the classic hostility, L.
[30.12.2015 00:07:56] S: She has knowledge about them.
[30.12.2015 00:08:04] L: That way, like, if it's not an enemy, and if it's not with the others, then we might even find others that aren't hostile.
[30.12.2015 00:08:07] S: And, Cap..Commander...
[30.12.2015 00:08:17] S: Sapphire has knowledge about the Core...
[30.12.2015 00:08:17] L: ...
[30.12.2015 00:08:20] S: When they get her.
[30.12.2015 00:08:23] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Destroying it would be doing Raven and her group a favor, however poorly they would see it.
[30.12.2015 00:08:32] =LSF=Presque.Isle: If they do not already know everything.
[30.12.2015 00:08:39] S: Thats the point.
[30.12.2015 00:08:42] S: I am not sure.
[30.12.2015 00:08:48] S: How could I know..
[30.12.2015 00:08:54] =LSF=Presque.Isle: The Nomad penchant for mind control, mind probing, is well respected and feared at this point.
[30.12.2015 00:09:06] =LSF=Presque.Isle: It is very likely that they are already completely compromised.
[30.12.2015 00:09:24] =LSF=Presque.Isle: You have done well for yourselves to distance from them.
[30.12.2015 00:09:24] S: Most likely..yes.
[30.12.2015 00:09:29] S: Yes..
[30.12.2015 00:09:32] S: Well..
[30.12.2015 00:09:38] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Now, since you have been so forthcoming...
[30.12.2015 00:09:50] =LSF=Presque.Isle: A piece of information for you, Miss S----.
[30.12.2015 00:09:55] S: Hai...?
[30.12.2015 00:10:02] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Kansas has in its far reaches a cloud.
[30.12.2015 00:10:22] S: Mhm...I heard about two clouds in there.
[30.12.2015 00:10:34] L: you mean the northeast one, right?
[30.12.2015 00:10:41] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Within the cloud there is an object, only picked up by its unusual alien composition. We've never gone close enough to scan -
[30.12.2015 00:10:52] =LSF=Presque.Isle: - for ourselves, but it seems to be damaged.
[30.12.2015 00:11:02] L: Yeah yeah, it's a jump gate or something like that, I even used it
[30.12.2015 00:11:06] S: A damaged...thing, like what we saw at Fort Bush perhaps?
[30.12.2015 00:11:09] =LSF=Presque.Isle: You...used it?
[30.12.2015 00:11:15] S: Wait..
[30.12.2015 00:11:17] S: What..
[30.12.2015 00:11:21] L: Yeah, it's annoying, radars don't work
[30.12.2015 00:11:34] L: It's like Omicron 92 but boring
[30.12.2015 00:11:41] S: Huuh...
[30.12.2015 00:11:48] =LSF=Presque.Isle: No, they don't. We would not know of it at all if not for the damaged screening...
[30.12.2015 00:11:56] =LSF=Presque.Isle: What did you see?
[30.12.2015 00:12:00] L: But what I mostly remember is....
[30.12.2015 00:12:07] L: White, a looot of white
[30.12.2015 00:12:18] L: Also planets, I don't know, I don't remember much
[30.12.2015 00:12:24] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Just white?
[30.12.2015 00:12:32] =LSF=Presque.Isle: What did your ship's scanners tell you?
[30.12.2015 00:12:50] L: Yeah, white space, kind of like how Tau 37 was but.... paler, I'm not very sure, I don't remember much
[30.12.2015 00:12:54] L: They didn't work
[30.12.2015 00:12:59] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Didn't work at all.
[30.12.2015 00:13:02] L: Like I said, radars didn't work
[30.12.2015 00:13:09] =LSF=Presque.Isle: And you yourself remember only white?
[30.12.2015 00:13:29] L: White, a few planets as well, I think
[30.12.2015 00:13:47] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Perhaps it is finally time to launch an expedition out there...
[30.12.2015 00:13:49] L: And having to get out of there, fast
[30.12.2015 00:13:54] =LSF=Presque.Isle: I'll have to pass that along.
[30.12.2015 00:13:59] S: Hmph..
[30.12.2015 00:14:12] =LSF=Presque.Isle: At any rate, that gate is likely the reason they told you to avoid the Kansas system, Miss S----.
[30.12.2015 00:14:20] Ls:Walker: Hakinoa dont Jump
[30.12.2015 00:14:24] S: I see...
[30.12.2015 00:14:33] =LSF=Presque.Isle: It is almost certainly Nomad related. Perhaps Tarlach's influence on them asserting itself.
[30.12.2015 00:14:35] L: I don't really remember much about it to be honest, but as far I remember of it, it wasn't so hard to traverse.
[30.12.2015 00:14:36] S: I guess I will keep myself away from it..
[30.12.2015 00:14:59] =LSF=Presque.Isle: It's known that Nomads tend to react aggressively when their installations are threatened.
[30.12.2015 00:15:25] =LSF=Presque.Isle: By extension, anyone under their influence would as well?
[30.12.2015 00:16:06] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Who knows. In any case, it seems it's time for us to focus more on that area. It'll be dangerous...
[30.12.2015 00:16:08] S: Hmm...
[30.12.2015 00:16:12] S: Yeah...
[30.12.2015 00:16:20] L: I guess.... I don't remember many nomad things around, just in Omicron Delta
[30.12.2015 00:16:27] =LSF=Presque.Isle: At any rate, I thank you for your assistance, and it will be remembered by us.
[30.12.2015 00:16:30] L: There was this... creepy giant diamond thing or whatever that was
[30.12.2015 00:16:37] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Wait, giant diamond thing?
[30.12.2015 00:16:40] L: *sigh* ok
[30.12.2015 00:17:04] L: Yeah, north cloud, near a Jump Hole, there's a weird diamon thing that makes sparks appear when I get close to it
[30.12.2015 00:17:08] L: I freaked out so I got away
[30.12.2015 00:17:09] =LSF=Presque.Isle: I suppose I can expect that Raven will learn of our conversation within a day or so?
[30.12.2015 00:17:15] =LSF=Presque.Isle: It matters not, really.
[30.12.2015 00:17:20] S: No. She wont.
[30.12.2015 00:17:31] =LSF=Presque.Isle: They must know they have drawn our attention anyway...today's events proved that well enough.
[30.12.2015 00:17:41] S: Indeed...
[30.12.2015 00:17:44] S: Hmh..
[30.12.2015 00:17:45] L: Uh.... if she does, chances are I'll get in trouble....
[30.12.2015 00:17:51] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Chances are, yes.
[30.12.2015 00:17:53] S: Don't worry L..
[30.12.2015 00:18:15] L: *sigh* I wanted to really help out with that nomad...
[30.12.2015 00:18:20] L: That way, like
[30.12.2015 00:18:29] =LSF=Presque.Isle: For now, I would stay well away from Kansas, and Battlegroup Auxesia.
[30.12.2015 00:18:41] =LSF=Presque.Isle: If you become compromised you may not even know it.
[30.12.2015 00:18:43] L: Maybe we could have found a way so they all weren't dangerous.
[30.12.2015 00:18:47] S: Hm...
[30.12.2015 00:19:07] S: I will keep my distance from Kansas, and lower my contact to Sapphire as I already planned...
[30.12.2015 00:19:16] S: After...eh
[30.12.2015 00:19:23] S: Fighting some Legionnaires off...
[30.12.2015 00:19:31] S: I guess she didnt like this..
[30.12.2015 00:19:45] S: So yeah, a bit distance will be good for some while...hm
[30.12.2015 00:21:34] L: ...
[30.12.2015 00:21:39] S: Eh..
[30.12.2015 00:21:45] S: So yes..
[30.12.2015 00:21:58] S: Anything else, that we need to talk about...hm?
[30.12.2015 00:22:13] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Not at this juncture, I believe.
[30.12.2015 00:22:23] =LSF=Presque.Isle: I have a lot to discuss with my superiors, and a message to send...
[30.12.2015 00:22:26] S: Hmm..
[30.12.2015 00:22:28] S: Yeah...
[30.12.2015 00:22:33] L: Ok....
[30.12.2015 00:22:34] S: Quite a lot paperwork and so on..
[30.12.2015 00:22:50] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Any further information you have, please address a communcation to me via private communication or the Neural Net.
[30.12.2015 00:22:59] S: Sure.
[30.12.2015 00:23:03] =LSF=Presque.Isle: If you remain in a divulgatory mood, that is.
[30.12.2015 00:23:21] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Very well. Liberty thanks you for your assistance.
[30.12.2015 00:23:34] =LSF=Presque.Isle: We're moving off.
[30.12.2015 00:23:46] S: As Liberty is my home now...it was my business to do so.
[30.12.2015 00:23:50] L: Alright, bye.
[30.12.2015 00:23:58] =LSF=Presque.Isle: You seem to be a welcome addition to it.
[30.12.2015 00:24:08] =LSF=Presque.Isle: Closing communcations.
===RECORDING ENDS===
Incidentally, as the logs show, it may be time to launch an expedition to Kansas and determine once and for all what that gate is that they are guarding in the northeastern cloud. I will be taking Presque Isle and any fighter cover I can scrounge up to investigate this within the next few days. Expect further updates upon our successful completion of this mission. We must know what else is lurking within our borders.
COMM ID: Agent "Phantom II"
TARGET ID: LSF High Command
Regarding: Battlegroup Auxesia Hostility Status
[A copy of this message will be sent to the Liberty Navy mission report center.]
This message is intended to inform all on this net that members of the organization "Battlegroup Auxesia" are now to be regarded as enemies of the Republic of Liberty and are to be shot on sight by all Liberty lawful forces, firstly for collaborating with Nomad and Hellfire entities, and secondly for resisting arrest and running from LSF agents.
Three members of the Battlegroup Auxesia, who all share a transponder tag and will hereby be referred to as "A/)", were stopped by LSF Agents Tracer, Hellcat, and Phantom, along with a Bounty Hunter by the name of Mephistoles in the Pennsylvania system, outside of Philadelphia station. After a short period of questioning concerning their well-documented collaboration with a Nomad lifeform as well as their ties to the Hellfire Legion and earlier (violent) incident with two LPI officers, they agreed to be taken into custody on LPI Sugarland. However, when Hellcat escorted them to Sugarland, they decided to take a detour to the Bering jump gate. Attempts by Tracer, Mephistoles, and Phantom to pursue them was met with a disabled trade lane, which was hit with a nuclear mine by a freelancer Hayabusa named Moonmoth. With the aid of Mephistoles, Tracer was able to dispatch of the traitor, although Hellcat was unable to continue pursuit of A/) forces.
Their complement of three fighter craft, two heavily armed Sabres and one Bayonet, were able to escape into the Bering system. Long-range scanners were able to pick three fighter-sized signatures fleeing into the Hamburg system, but they were unable to track them any further. While a proper diplomatic solution to this mess is worked out, their status is now kill on sight. Additionally, the Freelancer Moonmoth is to be considered an enemy of the state for assisting in the escape of all three A/) members and is also to be considered kill on sight..

[30.12.2015 23:57:24] =LSF=Phantom.II: Hold it.
[30.12.2015 23:57:26] =LSF=Menwith.Hill: Tracer: Morning.
[30.12.2015 23:57:27] BHG|Mephistoles: Evenin
[30.12.2015 23:57:31] A/)-Christopher.Stone': Eeh, yo'.
[30.12.2015 23:57:37] A/)-Sapphire.Raven:: Mmm?
[30.12.2015 23:57:53] BHG|Mephistoles: Just so you're aware, I'm a hunter under the employ of the Liberty Security Force
[30.12.2015 23:57:57] A/)-Sapphire.Raven:: Figured.
[30.12.2015 23:58:22] =LSF=Phantom.II: Right, members of the "A" group.
[30.12.2015 23:58:29] =LSF=Menwith.Hill: Tracer: Yeah, basically that. I heard you lot have a rather unsavory choice of friends.
[30.12.2015 23:58:39] A/)-Sapphire.Raven:: You heard, eh?
[30.12.2015 23:58:44] A/)-Christopher.Stone': What about it?
[30.12.2015 23:58:45] =LSF=Menwith.Hill: Tracer: I heard.
[30.12.2015 23:58:50] =LSF=Menwith.Hill: Tracer: It's a problem.
[30.12.2015 23:58:50] =LSF=Phantom.II: Would you care to explain as to why an LSF agent caught one of your organization members being fired upon by Police assets?
[30.12.2015 23:58:56] freelancer420: someone team up w me
[30.12.2015 23:59:01] =LSF=Phantom.II: Namely, a Samuel Wilkerson and a certain Patricia Lyons?
[30.12.2015 23:59:15] A/)-Sapphire.Raven:: Fired upon? Since when?
[30.12.2015 23:59:18] A/)-Sapphire.Raven:: I do not recall initiating engagement with them.
[30.12.2015 23:59:26] A/)-Sapphire.Raven:: If anything, that's quite the opposite of what should be done.
[30.12.2015 23:59:48] =LSF=Phantom.II: You might not, but one of our agents was privy to a brief engagement between police and one of your...members.
[31.12.2015 00:00:21] A/)-Sapphire.Raven:: I'd like to see some evidence upon that.
[31.12.2015 00:00:50] A/)-Sapphire.Raven:: So I know who the culprit is.
[31.12.2015 00:01:31] =LSF=Menwith.Hill: Tracer: I'm afraid classified evidence is not available on demand. We'll be happy to show you it once you're in our custody.
[31.12.2015 00:01:42] A/)-Christopher.Stone': Typical.
[31.12.2015 00:01:50] A/)-Sapphire.Raven:: Upon what breach?
[31.12.2015 00:02:58] =LSF=Menwith.Hill: Tracer: Ahem, I had to translate whatever the hell you tried to say meant.
[31.12.2015 00:03:08] Death: Oracle|Prophet was put out of action by Nonamed (Gun).
[31.12.2015 00:03:09] A/)-Sapphire.Raven:: Ugh. What laws are you claiming we broke?
[31.12.2015 00:03:59] 2015-12-31 00:04:05 SMT Traffic control alert: Kroosibis has requested to dock
[31.12.2015 00:04:20] =LSF=Menwith.Hill: Tracer: Accosting the 5th Fleet.
[31.12.2015 00:04:52] =LSF=Phantom.II: Additionally, we have evidence of you partaking in what appears to be collaboration with Nomad entities, as well as enemies--
[31.12.2015 00:04:54] =LSF=Phantom.II: Of the Republic.
[31.12.2015 00:04:54] A/)-Christopher.Stone': Pretty sure you want to get rid of the 5th Fleet anyway. Their Captains barely know how to speak. Cough-cough.
[31.12.2015 00:04:59] =LSF=Phantom.II: Namely, the Hellfire Legion.
[31.12.2015 00:05:14] =LSF=Menwith.Hill: Tracer: Attempting to incite treason doesn't look good on you.
[31.12.2015 00:05:17] A/)-Sapphire.Raven:: Collaboration with the Nomads?
[31.12.2015 00:05:25] A/)-Sapphire.Raven:: You're joking me, right?
[31.12.2015 00:05:29] A/)-Sapphire.Raven:: He's joking, right?
[31.12.2015 00:05:38] A/)-Sapphire.Raven:: You know, those things that we KILL?
[31.12.2015 00:06:00] A/)-Christopher.Stone': You can go ask Bretonia yourself, jackass. We went hand-in-hand with The Core to take those lightbulbs out.
[31.12.2015 00:06:00] =LSF=Phantom.II: Testimonies from two informants and a Primary Fleet Navy officer would beg to differ.
[31.12.2015 00:06:17] =LSF=Menwith.Hill: Tracer: Insult me again and we can end this polite conversation here and now.
[31.12.2015 00:06:29] A/)-Sapphire.Raven:: Was there Imagery to it?
[31.12.2015 00:06:31] A/)-Christopher.Stone': Right, uh- apologies.
[31.12.2015 00:06:46] A/)-Sapphire.Raven:: *gives a snarling stare at Stone briefly. * Right...
[31.12.2015 00:07:00] A/)-Adze: Remain calm, Stone.
[31.12.2015 00:07:11] A/)-Christopher.Stone': Yeah-yeah.
[31.12.2015 00:07:39] Moonmoth: Wow, that's a lot of ships.
[31.12.2015 00:07:44] BHG|Mephistoles: Good for you
[31.12.2015 00:07:48] A/)-Christopher.Stone': Unfortunately.
[31.12.2015 00:07:49] =LSF=Hellcat: That's not your concern. We have our evidence - and we're not required t' reveal its exact nature to you.
[31.12.2015 00:08:13] =LSF=Hellcat: Your only concern should be compliance wi' agent Tracer's directions.
[31.12.2015 00:08:19] =LSF=Hellcat: 'Least, that's what I'd be worryin' about in your position.
[31.12.2015 00:08:22] =LSF=Hellcat: [she chuckles]
[31.12.2015 00:08:24] Moonmoth: I feel like I kind of missed the introductory part to this situation.
[31.12.2015 00:08:39] Kroosibis: Anyting going on?
[31.12.2015 00:08:42] SSV-Normandy: Gresch: Golly, this is building up quite a crowd...
[31.12.2015 00:08:45] BHG|Mephistoles: Yes, you, move on
[31.12.2015 00:09:06] =LSF=Menwith.Hill: Tracer: The crowd can disperse at their earliest convenience.
[31.12.2015 00:09:11] =LSF=Menwith.Hill: Tracer: As in, now.
[31.12.2015 00:10:01] Moonmoth: I've never known a curious crowd to disperse so easily.
[31.12.2015 00:10:01] =LSF=Hellcat: Funny how everyone gets quieter when they start gettin' worried.
[31.12.2015 00:10:06] =LSF=Hellcat: At least, I always thought that was funny.
[31.12.2015 00:10:10] =LSF=Hellcat: Maybe it's just me.
[31.12.2015 00:10:15] A/)-Sapphire.Raven:: I mean, I was just waiting for your questions to be answered.
[31.12.2015 00:10:28] A/)-Christopher.Stone': Actually I'm just thinkin' of my younger days. This is nostalgic.
[31.12.2015 00:10:42] A/)-Adze: I'm always quiet.
[31.12.2015 00:10:42] =LSF=Menwith.Hill: Tracer: The only question I have is whether or not you and your compatriots will accompany us to Sugarland peacefully.
[31.12.2015 00:10:43] =LSF=Hellcat: Oh, you don't need to worry 'bout a side conversation wi' the civvies.
[31.12.2015 00:10:56] =LSF=Phantom.II: Regardless of what you think, it appears to us that you're collaborating with Nomads as well as enemies of the state.
[31.12.2015 00:11:03] =LSF=Menwith.Hill: Tracer: Or whether or not these fine ladies and gentlemen will have to carry your escape pods there.
[31.12.2015 00:11:24] Moonmoth: Dear me. Those are heavy accusations.
[31.12.2015 00:11:36] A/)-Sapphire.Raven:: Fine, we can go there.
[31.12.2015 00:12:10] A/)-Christopher.Stone': I see no way outta' this one either.
[31.12.2015 00:12:13] SSV-Normandy: Gresch: Bully! I knew they'd break! *She turns to the XO* Collins, get me my earnins!
[31.12.2015 00:12:25] =LSF=Hellcat: 'Scuse... me?
[31.12.2015 00:12:45] A/)-Christopher.Stone': Uh, yeah? What, you expect us to punch through all of you?
[31.12.2015 00:12:46] =LSF=Menwith.Hill: Tracer: Hellcat, take the lead to Sugarland. Freelancers, do follow Hellcat.
[31.12.2015 00:12:47] A/)-Christopher.Stone': Are you off your heels, lady?
[31.12.2015 00:12:49] =LSF=Hellcat: Not you.
[31.12.2015 00:13:00] =LSF=Phantom.II: Right.
[31.12.2015 00:13:04] =LSF=Hellcat: Figured you were smarter, but I have my orders.
[31.12.2015 00:13:11] =LSF=Hellcat: C'mon.
[31.12.2015 00:14:07] =LSF=Menwith.Hill: Tracer: Freelancer, I did specifically say to disperse.
[31.12.2015 00:15:26] A/)-Christopher.Stone': What a pretty little conga line we have.
[31.12.2015 00:15:35] =LSF=Phantom.II: Can it, Freelancer.
[31.12.2015 00:15:48] A/)-Christopher.Stone': Come on, lighten up.
[31.12.2015 00:15:52] A/)-Sapphire.Raven:: Shh.
[31.12.2015 00:15:55] =LSF=Phantom.II: No can do.
[31.12.2015 00:16:04] A/)-Christopher.Stone': We're still followin', no?
[31.12.2015 00:16:05] =LSF=Phantom.II: You're going upstate, and you're gonna stay quiet the whole way there.
[31.12.2015 00:16:12] A/)-Christopher.Stone': Gee', fine.
[31.12.2015 00:16:28] =LSF=Hellcat: Phan'om's not renowned for his talkativeness.
[31.12.2015 00:18:30] =LSF=Menwith.Hill: Tracer: Mephistoles, you are hired for three million credits to exterminate the Freelancer known as "Moonmoth."
[31.12.2015 00:18:39] =LSF=Hellcat: [whistles sharply]
[31.12.2015 00:18:40] Moonmoth: How rude.
[31.12.2015 00:18:41] BHG|Mephistoles: Understood
[31.12.2015 00:19:04] BHG|Mephistoles: Clearing up, guns free
[31.12.2015 00:19:21] =LSF=Hellcat: Yo, I'd reconsider.
[31.12.2015 00:19:25] =LSF=Hellcat: Just sayin'.
[31.12.2015 00:19:36] A/)-Christopher.Stone': Right.
[31.12.2015 00:19:37] =LSF=Hellcat: 'Cause you're kinda losin' the easy way out, like - faster an' faster.
[31.12.2015 00:19:48] =LSF=Menwith.Hill: Tracer: Just what I needed. A real reason to shoot them on sight.
[31.12.2015 00:20:36] =LSF=Phantom.II: Guess it simplifies things.
===END RECORDED FLIGHT LOGS===
A number of Siege Cruisers were called off of patrol today to assist in the defense of New London from one of it's more recent hostile incursions. Today's assault brought with them what appeared to be a Nomad-tech covered asteroid in an eccentric orbit above Planet New London. Mining operations to strip it of it's strange composite materials were underway upon our arrival-- and once we'd fended off a number of Nomad vessels protecting this unknown object (in addition to doing some bowling), The Naples, The Presque Isle, and The Grand Forks all managed to appropriate some materials from the occasion, and we all made our way back to Willard to drop off the materials for study. Attached are the partial manifests from today.

Agents,
Following ongoing, repeated, and continued operations by loyalist forces within the Alaska Exclusion Zone, as well as numerous trespasses on or within the Kodiak Perimeter, authorisation for search-and-destroy missions within the Alaska system and the Zone-21 Minefield ONLY has been greenlit from above.
It is likely that governmental forces will only increase in aggressiveness and unpredictability as their ranks become more and more compromised. All active agents are reminded that standard protocol dictates that all engagements be performed at the maximum possible range, such as to minimise the risk of coming into contact with infected personnel and/or equipment. Where the presence of alien tissue can be confirmed, escape pods are to be incinerated along with the rest of their parent vessel; otherwise, they are to be placed under a Level Five quarantine and submitted for processing as normal.
Furthermore, having been put out of action during the initial firefight of 27.07.823, the gunship Alconbury has been rendered fit for purpose once more, and will join the Menwith Hill, Mount Sunflower, and Marble Mountain in establishing a mobile sensor network and fast-response interception grid around the Kodiak Perimeter.
Lastly, in accordance with the exact nature and unparalleled severity of the ongoing crisis, and with the full authorisation of the Directorate, Agent 'Zero' has been formally reactivated. Final preparations for his deployment are almost complete, and he is expected to be active within the Alaska Exclusion Zone within forty-eight hours.

Agents,
We have - not for the last time, I suspect - acquired definitive proof of Nomadic influence within the ranks of the Navy. Following an urgent hail to the Kodiak communications array from one of the Harmony battlegroup's pilots, a certain Lieutenant Layla Whitaker, I led a reconnaissance mission to the indicated coordinates. Upon arrival at the scene, I discovered that elements of the Fifth Fleet were involved in an ongoing altercation with an unresponsive, suspicious, and badly-IDed Archer-class cruiser. The discussion appeared to have been ongoing prior to my arrival at the scene, but I will include a transcript of the relevant section here.
Code:
[01.08.2016 15:45:16] D9|LNS-Ottawa: ?: We are going to follow the orders of ranked LSF Officers only.
[01.08.2016 15:45:41] Coyote:404: Fair enough, the commanding LSF officer will arrive shortly.
[01.08.2016 15:45:43] =LSF=Hellcat: Excuse me?
[01.08.2016 15:45:44] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: Ottawa, think about the easy way.
[01.08.2016 15:45:45] LNS-Archangel: Hawk: Not a wise decision.
[01.08.2016 15:45:55] =LSF=Hellcat: I don't know you, captain.
[01.08.2016 15:46:16] 5th|Carl.Harrisford: Oh, crap.
[01.08.2016 15:47:02] =LSF=Hellcat: Naval officers, I'm confused as to why you haven't lit this suspicious vessel up already.
[01.08.2016 15:47:15] =LSF=Hellcat: I had assumed some of you might've still been halfway competent.
[01.08.2016 15:47:18] 5th|Carl.Harrisford: We have orders to take it back to the Virginia system for inspection.
[01.08.2016 15:47:28] 5th|Carl.Harrisford: Meanwhile, it insists in staying here.
[01.08.2016 15:47:34] H|-Layla.Whitaker: That ship says it will follow LSF orders exclusively.
[01.08.2016 15:47:43] 5th|Carl.Harrisford: Which makes no sense!
[01.08.2016 15:47:54] H|-Layla.Whitaker: Perhaps you should bring it to Kodiak for inspection, agents?
[01.08.2016 15:47:57] LNS-Archangel: Hawk: Do you have any records about this hip, Security Forces?
[01.08.2016 15:47:58] H|-Layla.Whitaker: Or something.
[01.08.2016 15:48:23] D9|LNS-Ottawa: ?: We agree to return to the Kodiak.
[01.08.2016 15:48:25] =LSF=Hellcat: I am not permitting a suspicious vessel entry to the Kodiak Perimeter.
[01.08.2016 15:48:38] LNS-Archangel: Hawk: That's actually the first time I see this kind of technology.
[01.08.2016 15:49:11] 5th|Carl.Harrisford: Why is Ottawa control so insistent in staying in Alaska and hell, going to Kodiak?
[01.08.2016 15:50:18] D9|LNS-Ottawa: ?: I'm not in possition to answer this questions. Ask the LSF?
[01.08.2016 15:50:55] =LSF=Hellcat: I have no idea why your rogue vessel is so insistent on trying to breach our security perimeter.
[01.08.2016 15:50:55] 5th|Carl.Harrisford: Ugh.
[01.08.2016 15:51:23] LNS-Archangel: Hawk: The hell a member of which unit you are, Ottawa?
[01.08.2016 15:51:32] 5th|Carl.Harrisford: Alright, we have received orders to engage the Ottawa.
[01.08.2016 15:51:42] 5th|Carl.Harrisford: I'll give you one more chance to reconsider your options, Ottawa control.
[01.08.2016 15:51:50] 5th|Carl.Harrisford: You and your crew have 10 seconds.
[01.08.2016 15:51:57] 5th|Carl.Harrisford: Five.
[01.08.2016 15:52:00] 5th|Carl.Harrisford: Four.
[01.08.2016 15:52:01] D9|LNS-Ottawa: ?: Pilots. Engage
[01.08.2016 15:52:02] 5th|Carl.Harrisford: Three.
[01.08.2016 15:52:04] 5th|Carl.Harrisford: Oh woops.
[01.08.2016 15:52:05] LNS-Archangel: Hawk: Engaging target: D9|LNS-Ottawa!
[01.08.2016 15:52:11] 5th|Carl.Harrisford: All ships, engage at will!
[01.08.2016 15:52:11] H|-Layla.Whitaker: Agents? What should we do?
[01.08.2016 15:52:20] Coyote:404: Recover the cell, of course.
[01.08.2016 15:52:34] =LSF=Hellcat: LSF forces, hold your positions.
[01.08.2016 15:52:49] 5th|Carl.Harrisford: Snubcraft, throw disruptors at it!
[01.08.2016 15:53:29] LSFC-Burnt.River: CO: Burnt River on station, T-30 to intercept.
[01.08.2016 15:53:54] =LSF=Hellcat: Burnt River, the Navy is already engaged. At your discretion, captain.
[01.08.2016 15:54:26] Verdict: Watch out, Agent. You don't want to eat Razors.
[01.08.2016 15:54:31] LSFC-Burnt.River: CO: At my discretion, indeed. Gunnery, lock it up, let's have some targeting practice.
[01.08.2016 15:54:39] Coyote:404: I got this, buddy.
[01.08.2016 15:54:49] =LSF=Hellcat: Keep your eyes peeled. If this is a false flag attempt, I want the Burnt River going evasive. We'll need to help it against-
[01.08.2016 15:54:52] =LSF=Hellcat: -both cruisers if so.
[01.08.2016 15:55:03] Verdict: Doubt that's the case.
[01.08.2016 15:55:07] =LSF=Hellcat: Otherwise, if the Navy have finally wised up, you're clear to assist
[01.08.2016 15:55:13] =LSF=Hellcat: until the damn thing is a smoking wreck.
[01.08.2016 15:55:37] Verdict: Solaris?
[01.08.2016 15:55:45] Death: D9|LNS-Ottawa was put out of action by LSFC-Burnt.River (Gun).
[01.08.2016 15:55:46] LNS-Archangel: Hawk: Kill confirmed!
[01.08.2016 15:56:02] LSFC-Burnt.River: CO: Splash one. Good work, gunnery.
[01.08.2016 15:56:02] 5th|Carl.Harrisford: Right.
[01.08.2016 15:56:08] =LSF=Hellcat: Naval pilots, good work.
[01.08.2016 15:56:09] 5th|Carl.Harrisford: Uhm... thank you for your help, LSF.
[01.08.2016 15:56:12] 5th|Carl.Harrisford: We'll be on our way.
I think the flight recorder's logs speak for themselves - the Fifth Fleet proceeded to engage the cruiser while the LSFC Burnt River was still in transit, which is an important development in and of itself. Soon enough, the suspicious vessel was destroyed, and when our taskforce combed the wreckage we soon recovered an alien artefact - a power source, in fact, from what my ship's equipment can discern. From what the crews on Kodiak are telling me, the Security Force has encountered similar devices in the past, and each time they have served as an almost ironclad indication of Nomadic activity.
For the record, this report is being filed from within Kodiak's quarantine sector, and my Avenger is also currently undergoing a thorough inspection to ensure that the problem does not spread aboard our facilities as well. Fortunately, that's a price worth paying to ensure we root out this poison for good.
COMM ID: Razor TARGET ID: LSF High Command. SUBJECT: Debrief on RC13 ENCRYPTION: RC Code snapshot 1.455.3
Well...Razor reporting...I am back.
I was half-expecting LSF to be full of infectees, that doesn't seem to be the case, so the Navy must be lying...
Anyway, debrief on RC13, we have failed 6 of our original 7... 'assignments', our cell was compromised and all agents are KIA, most of the informants are KIA, some have escaped back to their respective faction's bases, one of them has been incarcerated. He will lie about the cell and get executed, so our plans are secure.
I have lost my former ship, I had taken a Raven's Talon from a dead man, his nav system was damaged, it could've been fixed but I wasn't willing to compromise further, I got to Ames Research Station which took me two weeks due to the navigation system, a Liberty Navy detachment attempted to arrest me there... then tried to kill me when they failed. They're all dead now.
I landed on Manhattan, switched ships with transponders, and somehow somehow got past the Liberty Navy fleet in Zone 21. I was honestly debating on what to do after hearing the missives, I guess I took the right choice.
I will require a new ship outfitted with weapons and equipment, which the ship dealer on Dartmouth has agreed to tend to. I will also make contact with the Captain of Harmony... just to warm up. Oh, and don't put me into any division of Project Menace again, I've had enough meddling with secrets.
