Directors of the ESRD,
I met one of your agents out on patrol, 'Hydra' I think her name was, she dragged my ass into Leeds for a scouting mission and then proceeded to tell me that I might have what you lot are looking for. I don't know what she's playing at but if you lot want my services, or need an extra man to play decoy every once in a while, I guess I can do that for you. Nothin' too special about me, just some poor bugger who thought joining the military was a good idea nine months ago.
Anyway, give me a buzz if you reckon you can use me.
Cheers.
I would like to formally register my interest to apply for the External Security & Research Department as I would like to have a greater role in the field of reconaissance & military intelligence. My record of achievements may be viewed in the Liberty Forces message dump.
Please inform me if you require any additional documentation or references.
Sincerely,
Lt. Commander Daniel Redding, 1st Fleet, [LN]

---
> Report Summary:
Moored out of Willard Research Station, conducted routine House patrol through California, New York, Colorado, Texas, then Pennsylvania.
At West Point, long-range scanners found hostile-IFF vessel, Seireikairou|Aoi.
At Pennsylvania, found LNS-Bybor's_Truth observing nomad lesser purifier vessel, K'Hara|Cybele, with Seireikairou|Aoi nearby. Moved closer to cargo scan.
Captain Harriet intercepted telepathic linking with Nomad, was able to equip prototype KEYWEST 1.0 before link fully establishes.
LNS-Bybor's_Truth departed early, Seireikairou|Aoi 'guarded' both us and lesser purifier during KEYWEST 1.0 use, left some time afterwards.
[LN]-ESRD|Guard arrived, gave order to kill nomad, but not before summoning the old call of [LN] predecessors, initiating hostilities. Battlecruiser Key.West engaged, eliminated nomad afterwards.

[31.08.825 09:48:03] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: male: ... What is Harriet trying to do in there?!
[31.08.825 09:53:06] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: male2: Wait, what???
[31.08.825 09:53:12] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: male: Report!
[31.08.825 09:53:49] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: male2: Harriet's figuring that the nomad's... asking if she'd like to be part of their mind-sharing or stuffz?
[31.08.825 09:55:57] Seireikairou|Aoi: A pirate? Guess i have to do some Navy job...
[31.08.825 09:59:30] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: man: Please keep away from the vessel, civilian.
[31.08.825 09:59:45] Seireikairou|Aoi: Scanning, Assessing situation.
[31.08.825 10:00:06] Seireikairou|Aoi: Threat level minimal. Resuming routine activities. Code yellow.
[31.08.825 10:00:07] Incrediborg: thanks for the hard work
[31.08.825 10:04:03] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: male: Please keep away from the vessel, civilian.
[31.08.825 10:06:39] Death: Seireikairou|Aoi has died
[31.08.825 10:11:49] K'Hara|Cybele: *** {Another wave of cold radiates outward from the purifier.} ***
[31.08.825 10:12:31] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: male2: Readings indicate the purifier's reacting again! Just radiating more negative temps, sir.
[31.08.825 10:13:04] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: male: Proceed with the connection... Harriet, You better wrap this up, I don't think the Navy's gonna appreciate us-
[31.08.825 10:13:19] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: male: -'fraternizing' with the nomads for too long...
[31.08.825 10:24:00] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: male: This is XO Samson of Key West. We've currently, ehm... 'communicating' with a nomad cruiser at Penn gate
[31.08.825 10:25:40] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: Hailing Key West.
[31.08.825 10:26:13] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: man: XO Samson here. We read you, Guard. The nomad vessel's standing by, inactive for the most part, over.
[31.08.825 10:26:51] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: Read you loud and clear, Samson.
[31.08.825 10:27:04] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: man: Captain Fieldson's talking to the Nomad with our new project KEY.WEST devices
[31.08.825 10:27:04] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: anything intresting?
[31.08.825 10:27:47] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: man: Well, from what the captain's been gathering, the nomad's inviting her to be part of some sort of 'unbound' state
[31.08.825 10:28:31] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: man: We're able to directly communicate to both of them through our equipment. Need to say something to the captain?
[31.08.825 10:28:52] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: Can you figure out their purpose?
[31.08.825 10:29:02] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: Why here and why is it inert?
[31.08.825 10:29:40] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: man: It's been talking in riddles, but so far it's been focused mainly on helping Harriet be 'unbound' or something
[31.08.825 10:30:00] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: man: We haven't gotten its name, or why it's inert, apart from it maybe 'drifting' in 'silence'
[31.08.825 10:31:01] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: I hear you.
[31.08.825 10:31:11] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: Extract all information you can and dispatch it.
[31.08.825 10:31:28] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: That thing's a threat and it's not staying here.
[31.08.825 10:31:55] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: man: Understood, but... We don't know the effects of dispatching the nomad whilst being connected to the device.
[31.08.825 10:32:31] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: You have your instructions executive.
[31.08.825 10:32:45] K'Hara|Cybele: *** in 'Flames' ... 'You' bring 'Your' 'will' ***
[31.08.825 10:33:25] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: male: What the-- Jerry, what's going on???
[31.08.825 10:33:39] K'Hara|Cybele: *** 'Predetermined' ... in 'circles' interwoven ***
[31.08.825 10:33:56] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: male2: N-Nothing, sir! The captain's just revealing her life-story and childhood to the nomad through memories!
[31.08.825 10:34:26] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: Executive. It's endangering the CO.
[31.08.825 10:34:28] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: male2: We figure the nomad's negatively-reacting to the Guard's orders, executive.
[31.08.825 10:34:42] K'Hara|Cybele: *** in 'Unity' ... a 'play' of (solemn) 'fancy' ***
[31.08.825 10:35:12] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: No wonder it is, it's a freaking nomad.
[31.08.825 10:35:13] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: male: What do you mean, Guard? Lifesigns show nominal, she isn't under any duress.
[31.08.825 10:35:36] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: Executive, that thing is messing with the CO's mind.
[31.08.825 10:35:44] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: You have to dispatch it before things get worse.
[31.08.825 10:36:45] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: male: Ngh... Guard's right. We can't linger too long, or else the rest of Liberty will catch wind.
[31.08.825 10:37:02] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: male2: Sending signal to the captain...
[31.08.825 10:37:12] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: It's not about catchign wind, it's uh.. proper conduct.
[31.08.825 10:37:22] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: I expect a report about it.
[31.08.825 10:40:37] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: [the captain slowly comes out of her trance, then discards the device helmet]
[31.08.825 10:40:37] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: Okay. Let's try something else.
[31.08.825 10:40:49] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: Where's that thing.
[31.08.825 10:41:00] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: fem: Phew...! ... huh, there's ESRD Guard here... Sitrep, Samson?
[31.08.825 10:41:19] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: male: Long story, captain, but we've got orders to smoke the nomad.
[31.08.825 10:41:25] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: Hold on.
[31.08.825 10:41:38] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: I have to try an old uh.. yell or call.. you name it.
[31.08.825 10:41:45] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: Passed down by my predecessors.
[31.08.825 10:41:49] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: *cough*
[31.08.825 10:41:52] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: Okay here we go.
[31.08.825 10:41:54] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: Mooooo!
[31.08.825 10:41:58] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: MOOOOOO!
[31.08.825 10:42:01] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: Moooo!
[31.08.825 10:42:12] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: [the entire crew laughs histerically]
[31.08.825 10:42:26] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: *laugh*
[31.08.825 10:42:49] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: Fire it up Key West. Let's get out of here.
[31.08.825 10:42:51] Tip: You were a new player once. If you see someone making obvious mistakes, talk to them and help them.
[31.08.825 10:42:52] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: fem: Alright alright, boys... Let's not do that ourselves or risk gettin' shot up too.
[31.08.825 10:43:04] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: fem: All hands to battlestations!
[31.08.825 10:45:36] Death: K'Hara|Cybele was put out of action by [LN]-LNS-Key.West (Gun).
[31.08.825 10:45:46] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: fem: Target eliminated...
[31.08.825 10:45:52] [LN]-ESRD|Guard: make an MD about it when you're done
[31.08.825 10:57:01] LNS-Bybor's_Truth: LNS Bybors Truth to Key west : congratulation 4 destruction of Nomad vessel !
[31.08.825 10:57:32] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: male: Thanks, Bybors! Captain Fieldson isn't on right now, she's currently undergoing debriefing
[31.08.825 10:58:51] LNS-Bybor's_Truth: Roger. We r ging to cleand this field from Legion infiltrators. Enjoy time in harbour.
[31.08.825 10:59:12] [LN]-LNS-Key.West: male: Roger, Bybor's... Good hunting!
Lieutenant Robison here, good day sir or.. well, madame.
I would like to report my interest in joining to External Security & Research Division after some strange encounters, and not good things happening currently on front, such as Leeds being destroyed by Gallic Cruisers at the time of writing this message. Also I think you would need some more hands on-board for some stuff too. I have made a lot of activities in First fleet message dump channel, ranging from commanding a Gunboat sized vessel to the point where I destroyed or disabled enemy ships and warships, to normal patrols within Liberty systems, or in Bretonia systems. If anything more will be needed, please inform me.
Marcus, Robinson
Lieutenant

This is Lieutenant Jeremiah Sawyer of the Liberty Navy First Fleet
Good day, I'd like to report my interest in the External Security & Research Division, because during my time in both the Secondary, and First Fleet, I've noticed an increase of foreign threats in Liberty, rather than the common scum, such as the Rogues and alike. Perhaps more freedom in the field of reconaissance and military intelligence could allow me to serve the Republic from a better position than I am currently in.
Also I've only encountered codename "Atlas" so far from the ESRD, I assume there are other more classified reasons why I don't see ESRD operatives very often, however it seems to me so far that the ESRD might need additional manpower, just another reason for me to apply.
I have submitted a lot of reports to the Liberty Forces Message Dump, these range from commanding my Secondary Fleet Defiant, to utilizing my Guardian, and my Waran Bomber, from catching your ordinary smuggler, to finding foreign intelligence agency vessels in Liberty space, I believe the amount of reports should be more than enough.
If perhaps more is required, or just any additional information is required, please contact me.
I am looking foward to your answer.
Respectfully,
Sawyer

While we in the ESRD appreciate the enthusiasm shown in your application, I have to tell you that in the ESRD it's not just about catching Liberty space violators. The operations you will be undertaking have a far more different nature than just that. In any case, any person willing to put their personal lives aside for greater service is welcome in my team.

Counter-intelligence has been busy feeding false information to the foreign intelligence. Now it's our time to act. I'll notify you about you next tasks once you're through. Best of Luck Lieutenant. You're gonna need it.
That's all for now.
