Graveyard patrol was quiet as expected.
I stopped a number of ships for standard scans and also provided escort for a number of vessels.
One pirate kept fleeing into the Cassani jump hole every time he was engaged, which grew old very fast.
I used the spare time i had to continue my training to become a better pilot for the LPI!!
Completed a short patrol around New York, Colorado, Pennsylvania, California with Recruit Officer Ganes.
I showed Ganes the basics of LPI and some proceedures. We completed some routine stops and scans and came across a smuggler carrying drugs.
The smuggler proceed to flee from Pennsylvania to California repeatedly before fleeing to Cortez as such we were unable to intercept.
Completed a second patrol today intercepting a transport carrying illegal cargo
He co operated and payed a fine and was sent on his way.
The illegal cargo was destroyed and payment forwarded to LPI leavenworth.
Completed a third patrol with Recruit Officer Hanes Very veeery active!
We started a routine patrol of liberty space before RO hanes picked up rogues on scanners
we proceed to approach. i stayed back 12k while he engaged in a conversation with them in which they attempted to try bribe him.
He refused and as they started to prepare for engagement i cruised in which sparked the engagement.
I set R.O.E at return fire only so when they fired we defended ourselves.
The first of the rogues was destroyed by myself after a few moments by a mine i dropped.
i tricked him into thinking my ship was severely damaged by not repairing or boosting shields. as he closed in behind me for the kill i dropped a mine instantly destroying his ship.
I then turned my attention to the other rogue who RO hanes had been engaging.
Ro hanes destroyed him moments later with a well placed strafe along the vessels cockpit.
We the proceeded to RTB.
Later on in the patrol we came across a hostile smuggler carrying a full load of artifacts.
We quickly intercepted and ordered the vessel to halt.
The vessel was frigate class so i was forced to call for Liberty Navy reinforcements.
As soon as they arrived i gave the order for all vessels to engage as he refused to halt and fired upon me.
We started a cat and mouse game with him engaging and disengaging spanning a distance of the entire New York area.
At this point a hostile lane hacker arrived and begin threatening hostile actions against both me and RO hanes.
I ordered RO hanes to disengage the frigate and engage the lane hacker.
he began an engagement while i continued firing on the frigate.
a few mins later RO hanes was badly wounded and forced to RTB so i disengaged the frigate and engaged the hacker leaving LN to destroy the already heavily damaged frigate.
The firefight with the hacker lasted around 5mins.
It was very close but luck favored him this day i was forced to return for repairs and medical treatment.
The hacker escaped with a severely damaged vessel.

First patrol- Report one
We had a rather successful official partnership on the first patrol, Sergeant Lyon Steele and I. Today we were engaged by two rogues. One was a rogue Super Heavy fighter and the other being a rogue light. It was a two on two scuffle, Steele appeared to have took some heavy damage but survived to the end of the fight, using only a few nanobots. We were both able to secure a confirmed kill each. Besides that it was a junker with seemingly a little private bar on his ship. He had nearly a bottle of each alcohol. He said he wasn't drinking. Can't hold him to that, but if he says so, then we've no business stopping him.
Report two: Second patrol
this evening with Sergeant and I, We didn't have much to do. Had a little training session at West point. First one who dropped shields was declared the loser. Unfortunately, I bested the Sergeant. We came across a freelancer IFF'd ship. A Kanade.Tachibana. She hails from Kusari and apparently born into a life of Poverty. She was under questioning from a naval captain in a BattleCruiser when I arrived. Shortly after some time, Steele showed up and I gave him the brief, letting him take control of the situation. We've seen her around. She's stalking us with shady Identification papers. However, she does nothing wrong. Just wades off in the distance watching us. For no reason. We can't fine or detain her for any reason as she's not broken a law yet. Key term. Yet. We advised that she gets a proper identification as a just in case. We offered to help. But she denied and said she would take care of it. Keeping a close eye on her. Had we not intervened when we did, That battle cruiser would have ended her right there.
On top of that, We intercepted a Junker Frigate with a whole load of artifacts onboard. Images taken of his call sign, Cargo, and Identification were taken. He fled from Norfolk over to Manhattan, but Steele put him in a lockdown. We informed the LNS-Shamrock bay, present during the time at West Point that he was evading arrest and was clear to engage. Chased the Junker into the field near Rochester station, where a Lane Hacker had also engaged us. The hacker was formidable, taking our ships out of play. I returned to base. Steele showing up not long after with severe damages. Which is why we're here to do our report. I don't know of the Junker. But we're almost sure that he didn't make it to his destination.
Report Details:
I performed a short patrol around liberty space stopping and scanning vessels entering and exiting the area.
No hostile vessels or illegal cargo was found so i proceeded with continuing my dog-fighting training.
Towards the end of my patrol a civilian vessel reported being waylayed so i then proceeded to investigate.
The hostile vessel fled out of liberty space forcing me to break off pursuit.
Locations Patrolled:
- Colorado
- New York
- Pennsylvania
- Texas
- California
Lyon Steele, you are one of those recruits that can really grab my attention and impress me, I know you are only three patrols away from being eligible to make your own request for a promotion but I thought I'd just speed it up a bit. You are here by promoted to the rank of lieutenant, keep up the great work. You can get yet another complimentary donut back at the Plaza, as well as get your new transmitter.
Report Details:
I left Planet manhattan this morning on a standard patrol scanning vessels and greeting civilians.
My patrol took me from NY around most of liberty space. I encountered a few vessels none of which were carrying illegal goods.
Just as my patrol was quieting down with a loss of traffic my scanners picked up Liberty Navy pilot Mills being engaged and destroyed.
i immediately changed my course and headed for last known location.
Upon reaching the area i located one freelancer vessel that quickly made its intentions hostile in the form of a threat of death.
The vessel was warned that i was LPI but engaged anyway.
I decided instead of fleeing as this vessel was a gunboat that i would keep him busy until reinforcements could arrive.
Shortly into the fight a Civilian vessel approached offering aid.
I quickly accepted as reinforcements had not arrived and i was sustaining heavy damage.
The vessel engaged my target shortly thereafter. the freelancers name was Kanade.Tachibana.
Not long after that Recruit Officer Hanes arrived and was ordered to engage the hostile Gunboat.
While doing this i sent out a general request for all vessels to aid us.
A transmission channel was opened with LSF vessels (two of them) requesting urgent assistance but they refused to come to our aid.
Moments later my vessel was heavily damaged and i was forced to RTB.
Shortly after a LPI Swat unit answered the mayday calls engaging the hostile target. swat unit: LPI-SWAT-Fort.Worth
The target was then destroyed moments later.
After my vessel was repaired and i had received medical attention i started a training session which other LPI units focusing on dog-fighting.
I would say my skills are improving rapidly.
Locations Patrolled:

I don't even want to put these. But I'm going to make it short and brief on these next few patrols debriefs.
I have not Guncams or Chatlogs worth reporting.
Third Patrol
Undocked from West point to do a patrol. Went through California because my gut told me to, and there sat a Rogue destroyer. He didn't talk much and neither did I before he went through the gate into New York, when just off scanner's was a Hellfire Legion member. Jan Levenko. We both were on the same page. Out to get something. The fight lasted all of maybe 2 or 3 minutes. 5 at tops, before a mine incapacitated my ship.
Fourth Patrol
Returned from the fight. Got repairs done rather quick at Norfolk yard. Went to Manhattan to find GC, Xeno, And some other misc persons. It was a Lane Hacker. We both agreed on one thing. Using the other as a paycheck. Took minor damages before some Fugitive IFF'd ship took over. Prior to the fight, Deputy Chief Patricia Lyons had heard me talking to him before the first shot fired and came over to investigate. To tell the truth, they all ended up leaving. In the same patrol, A Navy officer radio'd for help at the California Gate. Patricia and I arrived to find 2 Hackers. One was female, Compliant, the other was Male and stubborn. There was also a Xeno, Diamondback callsign, had managed to find us and a fight broke out. Went from California gate, grabbing more and more people, all the way into the badlands. Ended up taking a hit that put a kink in the controls. Cruised away from the battle where there included: Hellfire, Xeno, Hacker, Freelancers, Police, Navy, LSF... It was a slew of pilots and captains. Above the lands, I was working on the ship, taking apart the paneling on the spot so I could return to the fray, when a Xeno came and forced me to eject. Not happy about it.
Fifth Patrol
Finally got picked up by a Patrol from West point where I grabbed a Shuttle to Manhattan. Took me back to the ship shop where I acquired another liberator. Got it formatted and was underway to the next patrol. First lane I took was Down to West point, I see Sergeant Steel below the station engaged by a Montante class Gunboat under the name Escordia. I was ordered to Engage him, and did so as instructed. During the fight, Steele took massive damage and RTB'd. I disengaged and went to Manhattan for a quick weapons change from the Vengence to Debs. Returned to Fort Bush, were my ship was also incapacitated for a third time today.

Sixth patrol
Went out one more time. Rather un-eventful. Came across the partner in crime, LIEUTENANT Steele. Him and I just waded in orbit around Baltimore yard for seemingly nothing. Just as we were about to dock for reports, A reaver shows up trying to claim a bounty on us. We ended up in this engagement for seemingly 10 minutes. Steele took the brunt of the attack and eventually delivering the final shot rendering his ship incapacitated. We had a crowd watching. We all noticed his personal Ion Storm that was affecting his ship. So I don't think he was performing to spec. After that we both RTB'd for debrief.
Seventh patrol
Today, I was flying Solo until I met up with a another indie pilot working out of the Liberty Police Department. He was flying a bomber. Also, Kanade, a Pilot from Kusari, managed to avoid death multiple times. She had been a slave in Kusari, and eventually broke free, stealing a Sabre from her captives. She flew it to Liberty to run. We talked a little bit, and I told her to try the Liberty Police. Brought her to West Point for enrollment and I will take full responsibility for her. She got outfitted an Avenger class fighter in trade for her Sabre and we went out on patrol with the LPD pilot and Kanade.
We escorted an OSI ship from Manhattan to California. Ensuring the safety of the Civilians is a top priority.
Ended up coming across a Liberty Rogue Destroyer under the callsign Capt. Cannibal. He fled into the badlands, but we pursued and destroyed it. Why? Because.
Also came across a Junker named Hatt. He was killing everything in his Border World Transport. The LPD insisted he stopped. He didn't. I told him to. He didn't. So I read him his rights, and gave chase. Caught. And Destroyed.
That concludes patrol.
