Greetings Command,
Today during patrol, Colorado, Texas, and Pennsylvania were quiet per usual. However, two Gaian vessels belonging to the Gaian Guard were located in California. These pilots claimed to be sightseeing, although they did have several Police and Navy pilots in their custody. Myself, alongside St. Lo., with two bystanders observing, retrieved the pilots without incident, and the Gaians were ejected from Liberty without incident. Later on, a plethora of smugglers were out. However, before the smugglers, one pilot was threatening to butcher one or more of the civilians orbitting Manhattan. After several warnings, this man was engaged and skillfully taken out by Navy pilot Nazawo. Following this, craft THP|Fortune's.Fancy Was inbound to Manhattan on a strange directory. Found out to be for a reason, he managed to dock before his transport could be intercepted. Notable amongst the cargo, was a Nomad artifact mixed with with quite a few guns. Now, while this should have been the end, the pilot of that transport showed he had steel nerves. He had come out in a fighter craft, even boasting about how that transport was his. While he seemed to be quite the entertainer, perhaps for his own ego even, I was only amused by the fact that he dare show himself in a Raven's Talon. After a rather uneventful, slightly amusing exchange, a fine of 10 million was issued and paid. Planetside authorities should handle the contraband from there.
Following this, two freighters, one Sunburst, one Drone, were found in possession of black market arms. The sunburst remained silent, ignoring hails to stop, and even engaging his cruise engines to escape authorities. It was clear he knew he was in the wrong, but refuses to stop. The vessel was engaged and destroyed, contraband destroyed in space. The second vessel, even after being warned of facing the same punish of his ship being forfiet, continued to evade Navy forces and attempted to flee. Almost managing to escape, the ship was caught and attempted to flee again. The vessel was destroyed near the debris fields, presumably on course for Rochester station. Contraband was once again destroyed in space.

Greetings High Command,
well let's directly get into it.
The day started with a Junker trading tons of several illegal goods. But not enough he tried to trick us with an illegal goods permit, which was a quite good fake to be honest. Well, he didn't want to cooperate so we were to either arrest or destroy him. He ended up as a dust cloud. After that we returned to the normal duty. Recruit Ayato and Ensign Walker helped me with the whole thing.
Later this day there was a transport heading to Rheinland which requested my help. He wanted me to escort him out of Liberty (directing to Hamburg via Hudson), because there were several enemy targets spotted in Texas. He reached our neighbour colony without a scratch. The targets returned to their homes as well, as it seemed.
In the evening I received calls from civilians that there was a Lane Hacker doing his business somewhere in Pennsylvania. I made my way to Allentown and Niverton but didn't find anything. A bit later, while searching for it, my Trade Lane was disrupted by said person. Another pirate joined him to attack me together. They didn't even manage to shoot down my shield for one time. After the first of both made peace to the space, a Carrier arrived which scared off the other one while I was still fighting. With Timothy Clark from the second fleet and Ensign Ace Walker I tried to catch him. We followed him until we reached Manchester and then turned around to get back home again, because, unfortunately we were not able to destroy him. He escaped deeper into Bretonia, which is not our ZOI anymore.
Back in New York, Walker was heavily insulted and threatened by a Freelancer which was most obviously drunk or on drugs. As I arrived close to Planet Manhattan I asked to identify himself which he didn't. He wasn't ready to cooperate at all. We repeated it several times but it brought nothing. Because Mr. Walker was in a bomber, he had worse chances to win against him. Anyway as the fight started and during the rest, he was completely ignored by him, so the Freelancer VHF could focus on me. We opened fire and I managed to destroy him in the end.

Greetings High Command,
It's weird, I'm always having an introducing sentence. So that's up.
Beginning with yesterday. Ensign Walker, Lt. Cmdr. Taylor and me were starting our patrol at Norfolk, as always. Checked New York's hotspots. Nothing special so far, just some ships with outdated papers and such. But soon we received reports of an Outcast ship near West Point. We decided to give him a fair fight so Lt. Cmdr. Taylor started to shoot him first. As I wanted to jump in to assist him, his ship got destroyed but the escape pod was tractored by me and brought to WP after I managed to eliminate the target.
Nothing more for yesterday.
Today we were chasing an cruiser class ship of the Liberty Rogues. He wanted to flee into the Badlands where we unfortunately lost his signal.
In the afternoon we, so Recruit Ayato, Mr. Anderson from the Secondary Fleet and me, were ordered to the Manhattan-Bush lane by the Firsts' LNS-Jacobi because of an Outcast Dreadnought. He was chasing some of our ships. The enemy was destroyed by the Jacobi with the help of some others in the end.
Some time later we intercepted a transport at the Colorado Jump Gate, carrying Sorted Artifacts. First of all I told him to stop, just to check his papers which were wrong. But I realized that he had some interesting cargo, the artifacts. After several repeats of warnings and the consequences if he doesn't cooperate, which he didn't, me and and Mr. Anderson opened the fire on him.
On his way, trying to escape to Rochester, he was killed by us. The cargo was partly tractored and brought to Norfolk. The rest has been destroyed.

Greetings High Command,
today with a shorter one but not less interesting.
Well, started at Norfolk today. It was really boring to be honest, just some people trading stuff through Liberty, outdated papers - means, the usual.
It became exciting in the evening when Ensign Walker called for help because of a gunboat pirating transports between Fort Bush and the Colorado gate.
Recruit Ayato was the first one to be there. He described that the pirate started shooting on Walker as he closed in to his location. Undocked from West Point, Ayato told me that his colleague's ship has been destroyed and he collected the escape pod. From that point I needed to hurry, because he was now alone in his fighter.
I requested another bomber while on my way, Lieutenant Watson came to help us out this time. As he arrived I sent Ayato to Fort Bush to restock and to let off Walker.
After causing the pirate some percent of his hull capacity, Watson's ship was destroyed as well, picked up the pod. Fortunately the Recruit arrived back at Rochester at the same time, where the fight moved to, to support me. With the right techniques and some time we finally managed to destroy the gunboat in our Guardians.
The Officers in his cargo hold where tractored by me and brought to Norfolk where our day ended.

Greetings, fellow brothers and sisters in arms!
Due to my recent promotion, rising to the rank of Commodore, I've entered the High Command, as the 3rd IC.
Which means, that all your requests towards the High Command, will be answered by me, shouldn't they be direct at Commodore Kalh or Admiral Sader, as well as not overwhelming my authority.
Therefore I will also take control over administrative duties, as well as directing assignments to you, should there be any, and take charge of leading the final exams for the Recruits.
In addition to this, I still recommend asking Admiral Sader for permission, should you wish to reply to any messages directed at the 5th Fleet within the communication channel.
Should Admiral Sader not be able to read your request in time, either Commodore Kalh or me will give you said permission. Any messages directed to the High Command of the 5th Fleet. will still be only answered by the High Command.

Greetings High Command,
it was a long night for me yesterday so let's do this fast.
Commodore Armada and me started our patrol at West Point and continued at Bush via Planet Manhattan. Nothing special except a pilot asking for the way.
Jumped into Colorado to check if there was anything...obviously there wasn't.
Returned to New York we realized an Oucast, approaching from Rochester how it seemed. He wasn't really about to talk, so he attacked Armada very soon.
Armada's ship was destroyed and he began to attack me. After some time I managed to kill him. I brought the Commodore's escape pod to West Point.
Comm ID: Ensign Ace Walker Recipient: 5th Fleet High Command Subject: Patrol Report
Greetings High Command
Ensign Ace Walker Reporting in.
16th August, 824 A.S.
Today my patrol started from Westpoint Military Academy, New York. I was alone on my patrol and headed to Planet Manhattan. Everything was quiet until a trader came along. Upon scanning his ship I came upon a surprise. M/V_Rusich-7, A Universal Shipping pilot, using a Civilian Heavy Tanker or as we know it the "Titanic" was full of sorted Artifacts. 3214 Sorted Artifacts was found in his cargo hold.
He claimed that the Company Universal Shipping ordered him to transport it to Planet Manhattan. I was very surprised to hear that and informed it that it is Contraband and that it is illegal in Liberty. He was not very Co Operative and in the end I had to take his ship down. The escape life pod was captured by me and I gave him over to the authorities on Planet Manhattan with the Evidence of his crime.
I suspect this was not his first trip to smuggle contraband, at least now he does not have a ship to continue with the smuggling expeditions and the authorities will keep him busy for some while. I do ask from the High Command that we can put in a full investigation in the Pilot's of Universal Shipping and in the Company itself just to be sure that they did not decide to operate with contraband or if there is maybe a crime syndicate with in Universal Shipping, and of course there is also the possibility that the Universal Shipping ID was stolen from the company with out their knowledge and the criminal used it as a disguise. I will wait for the interrogation report from the authorities on Planet Manhattan and will send you a copy to help with the investigation. Let us rather use precautions now and make sure as to leave it until later.
After the indecent with the smuggler I received a transmission from 5th|Nicole.Bradley about strange blue ship's spotted near Planet Manhattan. Luckily I was still in the area and about 20 Kilometers away from Planet Manhattan on the Trade Lane to West Point Military Academy the ship's was identified. 5th|Nicole.Bradley and joined by her Domino.Harvy, A well known bounty Hunter assisting the 5th Fleet regularly was the first on the scene. I have joined them momentarily afterwards.
We came upon 3 Nomad Ships in the middle of Liberty Space. They have tried to communicate with us but the understanding of their language was not to clear. All I could have made out is Their home is Light and they want to go back to their home. They are lost and afraid. 2 of the 3 Nomad ships disappeared in to thin air right after their communication attempt. The last Nomad ship Communicated with me telepathically all of a sudden in my head and showed me their home. For some reason my Ship Recording System Picked up the Image and I am able to show to you their so called home. I think this can benefit our Research Team to better understand the many things we do not know about these species and help us to better train and defend against them. The last Nomad then also disappeared in to thin air and we could not find a trace of any one of them. I immediately stopped my patrol and headed back to Planet Manhattan and went to the Medical Center for a checkup. I am happy to report that I am fine and still 100% capable of fulfilling my duties in the 5th Fleet. As I can tell my fellow pilots with me at the scene was also sane and fine.
We should start to look into the Nomad's as they are getting closer and closer each time to our system and more frequently. I would like to use this opportunity to ask the High Command to allow us to open a Division specially to Defend and Research against the Nomad's and their Technology as it will benefit us all and the safety of Liberty as I suspect they are much closer to us as we think.

Greetings, Commodore Kalh and Admiral Sader.
Greetings fellow brothers and sisters in arms.
I am glad to announce, that Recruit Nazawo Ayato has passed three of three tests which included combat, Liberty Law knowledge and situation handling. Therefore, shouldn't Commodore Kalh and Admiral Sader have any issues with that, I would like to recommend him for a promotion to the rank of Ensign, welcoming him as an official complete pilot of the Liberty Navy's 5th fleet.
Asfor Lieutenant Adam Watson and Recruit Andrew Muthon, their current status is currently uncertain.

Greetings,
Commodore Kalh and Admiral Sader.
Due to Lieutenant Commander Sander's commendable behavior on duty, as well as the punctual, reputable reports and work as combat instructor for Recruit Ayato, I would like to recommend him for a promotion to the rank of Commander.
Having seen him in action, in both, real combat and combat simulation, I would like to recommend him for the permanent position as combat instructor, for both, new recruits and offical pilots of the 5th Fleet, as well.
I'm relaying the message report as a quick note that a manhunt is more-or-less brewing. Captain Allen Bradley was injured yesterday by what we can only assume was a rogue individual who managed to breach the Omaha's defenses. She came aboard, subdued the Captain, and, by the heroic efforts of Lt. Commander Nicole Bradley, was thwarted and escaped.
While this by itself is enough for a smaller report, what follows is mildly gruesome. Allen's lost his arm. The intruder severed the limb via a knife acquired forcefully from Lt. Cmdr. Bradley, and as far as we can tell it's not looking good. He's fine, I think, but his arm.. Chief Hawthorne said that it's virtually impossible to reattach it.
I'm hoping R&D can do something about it. Until then, we'll scan the screens for this attacker, hoping she'll show her damn head again.
