I'm curious how a battleship can ever constitute a "recon" operation, given its absolute lack of any subtlety. But that's besides the point as far as I'm concerned.

Huntsman, I like the name, but if I'm being honest I don't even remember giving it to you. You were probably a forgettable individual up until this point. The name's drawn from an old pre-colonization spider, massive things, size of crabs rather than spiders. People found them terrifying for that specific reason, the fact that something so terrifying could be so large and in your face.

You might not have thought much about it when you were doing it, but the Outcasts are widely hailed as some of the finest pilots in the sector. At this rate though, I'm not so sure about that. Going toe to toe with one and not only coming out on top, but still being hungry to tear apart more orange stars is quite the achievement.

I'm impressed, so I've taken the liberty of painting a symbol across the side of your ship. Make it a thing of infamy through deeds.

Wear it well

....Today I returned to my home alongside Ridgenose and a couple spitfires he picked up along the way, Haylock was a pretty nasty devil, but that's not the point. We encountered some of them froggie f*cks from across the border talking with the new Navy shmucks in town. I mentioned how strange it was for the Navy to be conversing in a friendly manner with foreign terrorists, however, they made their intent clear when they said they hate Xenos far more, and proceeded to open fire on us alongside the frogs.

....Naturally, I'm a tad riled up from that, however, I was able to keep the two bombers at bay while the spitfires and Ridgenose saw to the two fighters from either side of the blue green trust fund, and under Ridgenose' command I promptly pulled off to aid in taking out the Navy's gunship. After the fairly cinematic capture of the gunboat's destruction, we mopped up the bombers I had been keeping busy, at which point one of said bombers went out like a b*tch and dove the planet to avoid the humiliation of being shot down by the banjo players, as they said roughly 17 times. Relevant information is enclosed, ain't got much else for ya.

This is a general notice.

Effective immediately the individual known as Olivia Sable, operating as a Freelancer with Libertarian origins, is to be left alone and not engaged unless in necessary self defense.

I will entertain no appeals against this order for two reasons, one is that she does not pose a threat to the Alliance nor the interests of Xenos as a whole. Two, she assisted in breaking up a foreign artifact ring within Liberty and thus clearing a spot for us to occupy and apply leverage with.

She has my mark as a sign of gratitude, so treat her with some respect.

.... Once upon a time in space, I had to borrow a Roc. Your usual, run of the mill Roc. Gunk on the seats, chewing gum remains on the throttle. Flew it out to Pennsylvania, spotted two Liberty Police gunships. Can you guess the end of this little fairy tale?

Nathan.

I had no doubt you'd end up bloodying yourself just fine. And no, you won't have to touch that ship ever again. Oh, and I found the person who left behind the piece of gum, he'll be spending a month cleaning urinals in the bar now.

Congratulations Contender, you can keep that name if you still want it.

Hello everybody, long time no see, all of you.
So, I was strollin' and drinkin' some boooze near Ouray, I found a piece of old wreck near by to sit my Falcon's ass. When I was about to open the 2nd bottle the radio started to make some weird noises. It was a frikin Navy patroll, they caught me by surprise, lucky for me Bull was in Ouray and came to aid. The 2 navy ships Bravo-1 and Bravo-05 were destroyed... But I spilled booze all around my ship, it's a mess... now I have booze inside my panels, in my seat all around the cockpit, in my pants, my underpants, shit... Think I need a shower, and another bottle.

PD: Thanks Bully, I owe you one. (I already sent some confiscated vodka bottles to your quarters).

I'm darn sure this is not the place for this, but I'll give it a shot either ways. If any of you has an idea what "error code BVAF-30/60 55567" means in a fightercraft's diagnostics computer, either send me a message or meet me at Leyte. That goes out to you too boss, I know you did some technology tinkering before.

No stupid questions, aight?

Contender.

I've done a lot of ship diagnostics over the years, and I do know for a fact that AF is an Armed Forces designation used by Bretonian-made consoles. The only thing I know about the other half of the designation is that supposedly BV is meant to signify boiling vessel? Not too sure about that, honestly.

The error code itself is.. quite interesting from the few cases I did see. What's essentially happened is that at some point during the ship's life, a bright individual designated the emergency backup powerplant as being the primary power source. The resulting blowout from an unexpectedly high power demand has now compromised the main reactor beyond acceptable parameters and the ship refuses to start because of it.

A good thing too, otherwise you'd be fairly crispy now as a result.

Well, with that out of the way could you give me some context on what all of this is about? Would spare me all this unnecessary anticipation on why we're talking about kettles.
