Unopposed, the modular base fell before the might of the Amenhotep. I could have let IRG and the good Doctor take it down themselves but I decided to reassure them of our relationship and keep my position as a great ally. Everything is a give and take and the IRG are responsible for the maintenance of the Amenhotep so I feel obligated to ensure the issues that require force are taken care of by me.

Battlegroup Harmony and the Amenhotep launched an assault on Washington Shipyard and dispatched two Naval Overlords that we have never seen before and are speculated to be newly constructed. The Amenhotep led the charge through the narrow mine field entrance and took the brunt of the damage while Harmony Battlecruiser New Jersey came about and followed up with superior gunfire. Both Naval Overlords have fallen and the Amenhotep took minor damage and will be repaired at Marshall Station.
To much time has passed. My ties with the IRG has been cut off with no word or reason why. I do hope the good Doctor is alright. Even without him my mission must continue. How foolish I was to think it was the Nomads who threatened the way of human life. I see it when we traverse space, when we make stops at Freeports. Humans and their incessant need for Money, Power and what ever else they can grab at the expense of others. Nomads will always be a threat to Humanity but Humanity unchecked will be its own downfall. I tire of waiting in the shadows for the right time to present myself and act. It is my thought process that I have to go out and act and make that opportunity a reality. With the War over Liberty will no doubt be licking its wounds and Bretonia a decimated house would or should not seek conflict. Both are good targets of opportunity in dispatching the Corrupted. Our time starts now.
After moving about the Omega-5 system we came across a gravitational Rift that was able to support passage for our Osiris. After taking the trip through it we immediately had to engage emergency thrusters as the entire area is covered in Cruiser size Asteroids. We took it slow and starting scanning the area. There was so much interference we had to do this a tad old school and searched slowly. We eventually came upon something unexpected. A Derelict Liberty Dreadnought. Surprising and sort of heart breaking as I was once in the 5th Fleet. The ship was to damaged to make out the name etched across its hull and no response came from the vessel at all. We tried however.

[23.12.2019 05:57:40] Amenhotep: Lilly: We could try bording it.
[23.12.2019 05:58:20] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: Cant, the asteroids surrounding the ship make it impossible. to dangerous. We are struggling as is staying so close.
[23.12.2019 05:58:26] Amenhotep: Lilly: True.
[23.12.2019 05:58:51] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: Start the data logging.
[23.12.2019 06:01:02] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: You there, Miner. When did this gravitational rift open?
[23.12.2019 06:01:39] Abuelo.Pum: Carlos Grandpa: hello asmodeus...
[23.12.2019 06:02:54] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: Do you know or not?
[23.12.2019 06:03:00] Abuelo.Pum: Carlos Grandpa: i dony known
[23.12.2019 06:03:25] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: Alright, I would like a sample of the asteroid here, may we purchase one unit of the ore your mining?
[23.12.2019 06:04:30] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: Hello folks.
[23.12.2019 06:04:33] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: Perhaps the Independent Miners Guild can help me then.
[23.12.2019 06:04:46] Abuelo.Pum: Carlos Grandpa: take your samples
[23.12.2019 06:04:47] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: Help you? With what?
[23.12.2019 06:04:50] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: When was this rift open? Do you have any clue?
[23.12.2019 06:05:18] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: I think about a week ago, but we sadly weren't the first ones to discover it.
[23.12.2019 06:05:38] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: Thats... unfortunate.
[23.12.2019 06:05:57] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: And the Liberty Dreadnought has not tried hailing you? Our hails went unanswered.
[23.12.2019 06:06:44] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: We have actually checked on that, it seems there is no bio-activity on board.
[23.12.2019 06:06:55] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: My scans were correct then.
[23.12.2019 06:07:08] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: You should be careful with that thing though.
[23.12.2019 06:07:11] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: Lastly, I need a sample of the asteroid here. May we purchase one unit?
[23.12.2019 06:07:23] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: Sure thing.
[23.12.2019 06:07:40] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: Uh, that solve got you a hundred, I hope that works too.
[23.12.2019 06:07:52] Amenhotep: A: You can take the rest, we only need one.
[23.12.2019 06:07:57] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: Allright.
[23.12.2019 06:08:03] Abuelo.Pum: Carlos Grandpa: i see green humanoid in the abandoned Dradnought....
[23.12.2019 06:08:04] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: How much?
[23.12.2019 06:08:17] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: Samples are free of charge.
[23.12.2019 06:09:01] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: Thank you, we will continue our search of the system should anything.. unsavory approach be sure to give us a hail.
[23.12.2019 06:09:11] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: Sure. one more thing though...
[23.12.2019 06:09:12] Abuelo.Pum: Abuelo Crew Esteban: dont believe Carlos, he is creazy...
[23.12.2019 06:09:49] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: Be careful with this wreck here. There were some rather unfriendly Gallics who showed interested in that.
[23.12.2019 06:10:04] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: They brought an entire fleet here, not even your ship would match that.
[23.12.2019 06:10:20] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: It's better to not turn this system into a warzone.
[23.12.2019 06:10:39] Abuelo.Pum: Carlos Grandpa: crew set course to te kappa system...
[23.12.2019 06:10:39] Rules Tip: This is a roleplay server, so keep your ship's name in line with the setting. Do not use references to pop-culture such as memes or distasteful subjects.
[23.12.2019 06:10:43] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: In this asteroid field I think we stand a good enough chance. However I am not here to fight. yet.
[23.12.2019 06:10:54] Amenhotep: A: Take care.
The only sign of life we did find was the Independent Miners Guild (IMG|) doing their thing and a Hessian Expeditionary Cruiser that seemed to not to care to much about our presence. After all we did try to defend Aland Shipyard while the IMG still controlled it. Unfortunate how that all turned out.
We found nothing else in the system but honestly its just to big to explore alone and I wont risk what Fighter wings we have left. I will try and dig up some old contacts in Liberty and see who is missing a ship.

Captain's Log: Battle Against The Liberty Navy Concord Fleet
This will be the defining moment in the Amenhotep's history. Never before has the Amenhotep been up against such great odds. The Concord is a battle hardened Fleet and I would be a fool to down play their strength. Harmony has been moving what they can out of Bering but the first wave has already begun. We are gearing up for a push through the Texas Gate and into Legion Territory where I pray reinforcements will be able to reach us. The Harmony, Discovery, and The Amenhotep must break through. We have to.

Captain's Log: An attack on Concords Reinforcements
We came across a Police Liberty Assault Battle Cruiser near the Concords position. I gave them a chance to do the right thing and join Harmony but he was to far brainwashed to listen to reason. He chose death and I gladly handed it to him.

Captain's Log: Separatist Supply Line to Galveston Threatened by a Nomad Vagrant
During the escort of [HF]-HFL-Thadeus a Nomad Vagrant was in Bering threatening the supply line the separatists were utilizing to Galveston. We spotted a class three Vagrant as it was engaging a rogue and a Freelancer. We moved in and destroyed the target relatively easily. We shot all debris as to ensure infestation was not possible.
[02.06.2020 08:08:35] Amenhotep: A: Is that?
[02.06.2020 08:08:44] [HF]-HFL-Thadeus: huh
[02.06.2020 08:08:44] Amenhotep: Lilly: it is sir, class 3 nomad directly ahead.
[02.06.2020 08:08:51] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: Move in.
[02.06.2020 08:08:57] Blue.Duck: Requesting cover.
[02.06.2020 08:09:03] [HF]-HFL-Thadeus: Grant: We're gonna stay out of the way! That thing outclasses us completely.
[02.06.2020 08:09:10] [HF]-HFL-Thadeus: Grant: Good luck, Captain!
[02.06.2020 08:09:13] Trade: what is that thing
[02.06.2020 08:09:13] Amenhotep: A: Fire all weapons on the nomad class three vessel.
[02.06.2020 08:09:21] Ronnie.Gibson: Damn shoot it.
[02.06.2020 08:09:23] Trade: what is it doing here
[02.06.2020 08:09:32] Trade: maybe it's friendly?
[02.06.2020 08:09:35] Ronnie.Gibson: Dont ask questions. Just nuke the damn thing. [02.06.2020 08:09:47] Death: Vagrant.Iris was put out of action by Amenhotep (Gun).
[02.06.2020 08:09:48] Trade: maybe it's just curious and wants to play!
[02.06.2020 08:09:55] [HF]-HFL-Thadeus: oh boy
[02.06.2020 08:09:56] Ronnie.Gibson: Whew.
[02.06.2020 08:09:59] A bounty pool worth $100.000 credits for 1 kill has been deposited in your account.
[02.06.2020 08:09:59] [HF]-HFL-Thadeus: feedback inbound
[02.06.2020 08:10:11] Blue.Duck: Wow, much appreciated. I'm burning up here. Impeccable timing.
[02.06.2020 08:10:20] Amenhotep: payback is a bitch. Cant jump from that.
[02.06.2020 08:10:23] Blue.Duck: Whoever you are, I owe you one.
[02.06.2020 08:10:30] Amenhotep: A: dont mention it.

We have lost Marshall and Freeport 2. I feel disappointed in myself and I feel I have let my allies down. We lost to many people and I dont think loss has ever hit me this hard before. we lost Hunter of Harmony and she was one of the few who has stepped foot aboard the Amenhotep and she will be missed. Lord Commander West credited us for saving her life as well as the Incursus and I am happy we succeeded in something meaningful. The Concord struck hard and we were broadsided brutally by this Dreadnought. The structural integrity of our ship is in question and we have having technical difficulties but we have no time to stop now. We are refitting what we can at Galveston and pushing to Willard to regroup with Harmony and Task Force Gladius. We will give the Liberty Navy something to think about and hopefully give us enough time to retreat back to Vespucci. The Commonwealth failed us and has been dissolved, Lord Commander West has bestowed us a trusted ally and assured us perks even the Auxesians would be overwhelmed with. Its good to see our sacrifices rewarded.
Rest In Peace Admiral Allison J. Hunter, I hope I can meet my end in the glory of combat as you did. You will be missed.

The Crayterian Government has reached out to mend old ties we had in the past. Nothing formerly happened between us but as time passes and objectives change people can drift apart. I am glad the Crayterian Government reached out because as it turns out there was a reason behind it. The Purging of Drake has begun. The Order Overwatch and the Crayter Military have joined forces to stop the Nomad Hyper Gate from finishing its charge. Temporal Rifts are already starting to show up and we are running out of time. We fought alongside Overwatch vessels for the firs time in four long years and to my surprise they didnt mind it. In fact we were rather effective and the Nomads didnt stand a chance. I will continue to put my dislike for the Overwatch aside until this Task Force has completed or failed its mission.
The Crayterian Government also extended a permit for our vessel to fly through their space, another notion they wish to remain close allies with us and I am compelled to keep this status.
We have joined with the Insurgency. It only seemed right with all that has been going on lately. I cant do any of this on my own and Fleet Admiral Knight has brought it up multiple times about officially joining. West also hinted at it and I made the decision to do so.
Starting now we will begin cycling out the crew to accommodate trainees and R&R for the more veteran members. Veracruz will be a good spot for our vets to have some time to themselves and be independent for awhile.
Our first strike against the Navy as Insurgency did not go as planned but we did leave a mark. The Liberty Navy are as fierce as ever fearing what it can and is becoming.
