Greetings High Command,
I don't know where to begin with this rather unpleasant incident, which I wish it never happened and even then, I wish I would have seen through this deception, before I acted. Here is the report concerning said incident which occured yesterday.
After a long battle against the terrorist Tutashika and the following combats against his comrades, which pulled a high toll upon my ship's hull- integrity, I turned off-duty and took my civilian ship named "Valor", to move to planet Erie in system Pennsylvania. There I met upon two Freelancers, whose names I can't remember - as their involvement in this incident was minor, as well as kusarian ship with "Order-ID" papers named ORG|Princess, and two police officers, one of them named Carlos.Lopez.
The Freelancers were just talking to ORG|Princess, as the police officer closed in and began to enforce the law upon the Order individual. Said individual claimed to not be part of the Order but work with them, as sciencist and research team and to have the permission to stay in Liberty, given by Commodore Kalh. The Freelancers confirmed this, either convinced by the Order individual or witnessing several Navy Officers giving this individual the same permission. Knowing that official representatives of the First Fleet [LN] and even we, can grant such permission for a temporary time, if needed, I believed ORG|Princess' claim to have this permission, while Police Officer Lopez, didn't. I told this officer, that true or not, this issue was concerning the Liberty Navy, and he shouldn't be bothered, that I would take care of this situation, how ever, my words were ignored, while I kept telling the Police Officer that, if the permission was truly given by Commodore Kalh - and or other Naval Officers, he had no justification in engaging the Order individual, and I would carry and execute said permission.
Charging and acusing me of neglection of my duty, the police officer engaged the vessel, while I returned to Norfolk Shipyard, to change into my freshly repaired Guardian, to move on duty again. Once returned in Pennsylvania, the Police Officer was unleashing fire upon the Order individual, which had shown no sign of hostility till then, right above of planet Erie. ORG|Princess returned the fire, defending herself, the situation almost escalated as hostility was "in the air". I managed to to suppress any further involvement by other pilots, but demanded both, the Police Officer and the Order individual to cease fire. The Order individual agreed and stopped firing, while the Police Officer kept shooting. ORG|Princess then decided to start moving and make her way out of Liberty, and the Police Officer followed her.
I take it the Order individual escaped successfully as the Police Officer returned, even grumpier than before, informing me he'd report my behavior and this situation. However, I remained in my ship, calming down from this rather unpleasant incident, spoke to the people to gather more information, without success though, only to be surprised by the Chief of the LPI demanding me to hold my position. I could simply have said "I don't take orders from the LPI, they are not my superiors, such as the Police Officer Lopez said when I asked him to cease fire upon the ORG|Princess, but instead I accepted the order given by the Chief and answered the questions. We discussed the issue, my intentions, their intentions, the justification of orders, the authenticity of this "permission", and why the "Order-ID" papers are yet, still not listed as criminal organizations within the Laws of Liberty. Once done, Admiral Reaser of the First Fleet, along with with two ESDR vessels named "Seagull" and "Phoenix" arrived.
Admiral Reaser demanded a report about this whole situation, and was provided by the report of Officer Lopez, then by me.
After this, I was ordered to follow [LN]ESDR|Seagull further away from the other vessels, and had to stand another interrogating by said Officer, explaining the exact same situation again. Then we returned back to Admiral Reaser and I was dismissed.
Even when my intentions were honorable and loyal, trying to enforce an order given by a superior officer, my efforts were meaningless, for the this order was never given and my behavior therefore not appropriate. Unwittingly, unknowingly supporting a lie, and lying on my own unintentionally, as I missjudged and missinterpreted words and the situation, I feel ashamed of myself, my performance and my behavior. The thought of being able to be so easily manipulated angers me, and the thought of causing possible unpleasant consequences, not for me, but more for Commodore Kalh and the 5th Fleet make feel sick. I request that any consequences which concern this issue, shall be enforced on me, for it was my fault that caused the incident after all.
I hereby apologize to the Officers of the Liberty Police and especially to Commodre Kalh and the 5th Fleet. I will ensure something like this will never happen again.
Comm ID:Lt. Ethan Taylor Recipient: 5th Fleet High Command Subject: Caught a small fish and destroyed an Outcast
Greetings High Command,
I report that FL. Adm. Jones and I caught a small fish, just a Sunburst who had a Police pilot in his cargo.
To the more important part:
While waiting at West Point for something to happen, Fl. Adm. Jones and I saw an Outcast destroyer trying to sneak around us. Jones stopped him and we engaged it. Well, better say we annoyed it since I was in my bomber and Jones in his Guardian. After a short time Reaser arrived with the "Mount Hood" and engaged the Outcast. During the fight we got a call from Commodore Kalh, he found another Outcast destroyer. I moved to him and helped him with destroying it, and shooting the last shot which made the core explode.
Comm ID: Lt. Ethan Taylor Recipient:5th Fleet High Command Subject: Fight results
Well, greetings again,
During a patrol through Texas some of our guys detected some UN ships. After an endless talk about our capitalism and how fat we are we moved in to engage them. After a long fight we managed to destroy every hostile contacts.
After that we chased Tutashkhia to a spot between Fort Bush and the Jersey Debris field. A lot of fighters and me engaged it until LNS-Ohio got into the fight, ended it fast with it's Razors.
I changed shortly to my bomber when Commodore Kalh requested for assistance at Fort Bush, where I flew with a shuttle to get to my Gunboat. After a fight we fought back the Hellfire Legion and it's Xeno followers. They fleed and we won the day.

Comm ID: Lt. Ethan Taylor Recipient: 5th Fleet High Command Subject: Fight report of California
Greetings,
I report an attack on California from the Gallic Royal Navy yesterday, in which we lost a lot of ships, but managed to destroy all their Capital ships and 2 of 4 fighters.
It started with the arrival of our force in the Nebula, where we found 3 fighters. During our talk another fighter arrived and their two capital ships. As the fight began, the fighters and the capital ships splitted up and fought their fights alone. Our force during the fight were 3 battleships, 2 gunboats and 3 fighters. In the battleship fight we lost one ship. In the fighter fight we lost one gunboat and 2 fighter, but one of the enemies destroyed itself with a mine and the other got destroyed by my crew.
Earlier on that day I helped two times to kill a Ranseur, the first time I helped our Commodore and the other one I helped the LNS-"Warspite" to kill the Ranseur.
Oh, during I checked my pictures for that report I found one that shows how I destroyed a ship during a fight with the Hellfire Legion. I really don't remember when that fight took place and what was the outcome. I think I got destroyed in that fight, that would explain why I cannot remember it.

Greetings High Command,
I just wanted to inform you, that all my ships in service, have arrived Soutthampton Shipyard in system New London, Bretonia.
Well, I think Manhattan Defense grid did an amazing job today, While the Amenhotep is off getting retrofired This Corsair got a dose of Liberty Justice. Video Evidence below.
Comm ID: Lt. Mike Anderson Recipient: 5th Fleet High Command Subject: Kusari Naval Forces
Good day High Command,
Today I started off with launching our LNS-Mitscher and moving to Galileo to check out some reports on a new installation being built there, named Freeport 14. Whilst i can not report anything on the installation except the fact that it is still in very early stages, what i can report on is [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima, a Kusari destroyer that contacted us whilst out there in Galileo. By what the captain said, who is actually Vice Admiral Sakomoto Ryoma, they were attacked by two Outcast "Ranseur" -class battleships. These two ships were the two we know well, Commodus and Smith. After a talk with the captain I decided it is best to escort the ship to Norfolk, since we were close to the Colorado jump gate, where our engineers could at least patch the ship up for it to safely arrive to one of their own shipyards for full repairs.
Once there the KNF destroyer moored with Norfolk and maid repairs whilst their crew was treated by our medics. Their casualties were fourteen members of their crew, a most saddening loss.
Once all critical parts of their ship were repaired and safe, we proceeded to escort the ship out. A Forlorn ship joined us at Norfolk, namely miss Regina Silva. She accepted to scout the path in front of us, and for no payment as well. We arrived to Kepler safely and stopped at Ames, where we had a talk before the KNF leaving to Shikoku.
That is all so far. Below will be attacked the black box of this event.
[08.05.2017 16:35:07] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Konbanwa.

[08.05.2017 16:45:52] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Seems this pilot is having some problems...
[08.05.2017 16:45:55] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Would that civilian be blocking the gate?
[08.05.2017 16:46:08] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: I hope they are O.K on board.
[08.05.2017 16:46:21] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: All clear.

[08.05.2017 16:47:02] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: I'm ordering my crew to limit long range scanning until we leave Liberty space.
[08.05.2017 16:47:26] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: It is of no big need, but if you wish.
[08.05.2017 16:48:24] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: That said, please accept my apologies. I forgot to introduce myself. Vice Admiral Sakomoto Ryoma.
[08.05.2017 16:49:33] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Nice to meet you, Vice Admiral.
[08.05.2017 16:50:12] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: So this is the heart of Sirius sector.
[08.05.2017 16:50:14] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Norfolk isn't far, i hope your engines are not damaged?
[08.05.2017 16:50:22] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Engines are O.K. for now.
[08.05.2017 16:50:54] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Those Kishiro engines can take a beating, fortunately. But we lost a few men during the engagement.
[08.05.2017 16:52:18] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: And may i know what are the names of these two ships that attacked you? We do have quiet a lot of Outcasts capital ships-

[08.05.2017 16:53:30] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Until they ended with almost no hull left.
[08.05.2017 16:53:35] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: They managed to cloak though.
[08.05.2017 16:53:39] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: In fact, this ship saw destruction of both multiple times.
[08.05.2017 16:53:46] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Hail, X-Hunter.

[08.05.2017 16:57:02] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: I do not know if we could have returned to Shikoku system with those Outcasts roaming around.
[08.05.2017 16:57:34] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Mooring complete. We are proceeding with damage assessment in the critically damaged areas...
[08.05.2017 16:59:09] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Our engineer report some concerning breaches, but nothing that cannot be fixed.
[08.05.2017 16:59:36] 2017-05-08 16:59:35 SMT Traffic control alert: amkliberty has requested to dock
[08.05.2017 16:59:53] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: I'm sure our engineers can at least patch it up until you reach one of your own shipyards
[08.05.2017 17:00:21] Forlorn|-Regina.Silva: Any casualties?
[08.05.2017 17:00:25] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Injured personnel is being taken care of. Mitscher, what sum of money should the Admiralty wire the the Navy for the resources-
[08.05.2017 17:00:30] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: and expertise used?
[08.05.2017 17:00:45] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Casualties : Fourteen.
[08.05.2017 17:01:07] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: No payment will be taken, it is the least we can do for our friends.
[08.05.2017 17:01:35] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: I regret we weren't there to help you whilst under attack in the first place.
[08.05.2017 17:01:39] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Well. I do hope Shikoku fleet will be able to repay the gesture in kind.
[08.05.2017 17:02:01] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Sadly, our military is not really used to operate together.
[08.05.2017 17:02:22] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: I hope for that to change.
[08.05.2017 17:02:51] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: That would be best for the stability of our borders... I'm being told everything critical is almost fixed.
[08.05.2017 17:03:09] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: This will need an extensive check on Yokohama shipyard but should hold until we reach House Kusari.
[08.05.2017 17:03:54] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Code green... Beginning unmooring procedures...
[08.05.2017 17:04:17] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: We are ready to return under your watch, Mitscher.
[08.05.2017 17:04:17] Forlorn|-Regina.Silva: Want me to scan a safe route for you, and ahead of you?
[08.05.2017 17:04:39] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Your aid is appreciated, Silva-san.
[08.05.2017 17:04:49] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Good job Norfolk, we thank you for your service. Now let us move out if that is all?
[08.05.2017 17:04:51] Forlorn|-Regina.Silva: Alright. I won't even ask for payment.
[08.05.2017 17:04:54] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: You should however ask Liberty Navy.
[08.05.2017 17:05:28] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: We are out of our jurisdiction here and Liberty Navy is taking all the decisions.
[08.05.2017 17:05:30] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Help is appreciated Forlorn pilot
[08.05.2017 17:05:32] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: We are ready to proceed.
[08.05.2017 17:05:37] Forlorn|-Regina.Silva: Roger that. I'll scout for you.
[08.05.2017 17:05:50] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Arigato gozaimasu.
[08.05.2017 17:06:03] Alexis-Clau: arigato
[08.05.2017 17:08:15] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Maybe we should take Kepler?
[08.05.2017 17:08:19] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Hai.
[08.05.2017 17:08:23] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: That would be wiser.
[08.05.2017 17:09:16] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Forlorn pilot i hope you moved towards the Kepler? It is safer to return that way
[08.05.2017 17:09:26] Forlorn|-Regina.Silva: I do, sir.
[08.05.2017 17:09:53] Forlorn|-Regina.Silva: About to jump.
[08.05.2017 17:12:24] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Do you wish for us to escort you further?
[08.05.2017 17:12:29] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Do you have any data about this new facility?
[08.05.2017 17:12:48] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Thank you Mitscher. We should be fine from here.
[08.05.2017 17:12:55] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Hm? Oh, Port Tacoya... Hm, no, nothing that i can remember.
[08.05.2017 17:13:13] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: We noticed a new freeport in Galileo system as well.
[08.05.2017 17:13:26] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Yes, that is actually one of the reason we were there
[08.05.2017 17:13:37] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Is it harboring criminals?
[08.05.2017 17:13:41] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Liberty Navy also did and we wanted to check it out.
[08.05.2017 17:14:08] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Nothing we could notice, but it is a Freeport, so anything is possible.
[08.05.2017 17:14:44] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Hmm. I will make sure Shikoku fleet keep an eye on that facility.
[08.05.2017 17:14:53] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Regardless, thank you again for your assistance.
[08.05.2017 17:15:06] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: I hope we will be able to return the favor soon enough.
[08.05.2017 17:15:09] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Understood. We were glad to help.
[08.05.2017 17:15:15] Forlorn|-Regina.Silva: This is such a good sight, to be honest.
[08.05.2017 17:15:39] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: An Unioner contact on our scope?
[08.05.2017 17:15:45] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: What the?! Long range scanners show an Unioner
[08.05.2017 17:16:02] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: A smuggler perhaps. Slave liner.
[08.05.2017 17:16:14] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Pilgrim Liner, *sighs* Probably full of contraband
[08.05.2017 17:16:17] 2017-05-08 17:16:15 SMT Traffic control alert: UN|Rheinstahl has requested to dock
[08.05.2017 17:16:25] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Well. Welcome to the No Fire Zone.
[08.05.2017 17:16:36] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Regardless we should move this beast back to New Tokyo system.
[08.05.2017 17:16:51] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Sayonara, Mitscher. And thank you again. Miss Silva.
[08.05.2017 17:17:11] Forlorn|-Regina.Silva: My condolences for your lost crew.
[08.05.2017 17:17:14] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: I hope to see you again. In a battle perhaps, against that scum.
[08.05.2017 17:17:16] Forlorn|-Regina.Silva: Safe skies.
[08.05.2017 17:17:34] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Hopefully. Those borders need a better watch.
[08.05.2017 17:17:41] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Sayonara!
[08.05.2017 17:17:55] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Now, only thing left is your payment miss Silva. Will two milion credits do?
[08.05.2017 17:18:15] Forlorn|-Regina.Silva: The Kusari Navy captain already paid, sir.
[08.05.2017 17:18:30] Forlorn|-Regina.Silva: I didn't even ask for any. They had enough losses for today, so I wanted to help.
[08.05.2017 17:18:49] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Ah i see, well in that case we will return to Norfolk.

Greetings Command,
While on the final leg of my patrol, 5th|LNS-Odyssey reported a Rogue bomber engaging it, to which I diverted to engage. Upon arrival, the bomber began to flee. Using superior speed, the ship was stopped and engaged. Once the vessel burst into flames, the pilot begged for mercy. After a short exchange, The vessel was destroyed and pilot arrested.
