These last few weeks have seen our dominance in Liberty grow to new heights, Liberty quakes with the examples we leave behind. The war with LR- goes as expected, our clash in Texas was a sweatless victory, they have not been seen since. The law enforcement falls in mass and the civilians cry in terror, and fall all the same.
Gamble and I have made it a habit of launching raids out into Pennsylvania to hunt capital ships, we brought down an LSC, its fighter escort scrambled into the Delaware's hanger and we scrambled before reinforcements could arrive. However, yesterday I went alone, answering a call for assistance from the Insurgency dreadnought IN|H-INS-Enterprise, the target was certainly of interest, we cracked open the carrier's hull and rescued upwards of roughly 100 rogues, which the Enterprise aided in returning to Alcatraz so we can put them back in ships. The Insurgency is proving to be more trustworthy than I had initially anticipated, perhaps I'm beginning to understand why Asmodeus joined their ranks rather than continuing to fly alone.

What happened? Oh so two weeks ago I mixed some leftover Nox, Cardie and Liberty Ale, and then...well then I can't remember much. But it seems like I went on a journey in my cloak Ahadouri. Flashes of memories of edge world wilderness, images of visiting Kusari Geishas I used to know but couldn't even muster the energy to do anything with, erratic sleep schedules, visits of obscure small stations, planets, local bars, junk food that annihilated my gut and wildlife and meeting tourists in liners...It's all one big blur. There's no way of telling if I actually did those things, or if I just laid face down in crap on an Alcatraz bathroom floor and hallucinated it all.
I understand when I somehow made my way back from my "trip" you guys strapped me into my Scylla and sent me on the other bunch, the LR- gang in Texas in some sort of a brawl. I have no recollection of this, I have no idea how I could have possibly dispatched the other guy in my state - but some of you claim I did just that.
It's been a week now, I am slowly recovering and regaining my bodily functions. Previously I wouldn't tell you my name because I wasn't sure you were to be trusted. Now I am part of the family, I'm about 93% sure Rose and Christopher are actually madly in love with me, but I still can't tell you my name, because it's been burnt out of my memory by that fateful week. Perhaps one day it will come back to me.

This some kind of joke? What.... Everyone decided to go sit under a pink umbrella sipping Margaritas by the pool did they? How on earth am I meant to make a living off some police officers who can't stop crying for their Mommy, and half a dozen donuts? The donuts aren't even fresh boys.
A quick patrol around New York turned out to be all but a monumental waste of time. There was not a single soul out other than a few rookies pretending they weren't about to soil their pants at the sight of the big bad pirate. Not only was it dead out...... but to add insult to injury, the one person I came across was some Freelancer who claimed to be on both sides of the law.
Both sides of the law. More like an "equal opportunity victim". Have you ever come across anything as vague as that in a mans morals before? Can hardly kill someone who might be a friend though, can I. Should have made him go grab us some cheap supplies from Manhattan. Hindsight is 20/20. This Freelancer, Mr Roberts or something, told me what we are worth as a bounty in the governments eyes. A few million credits. They are paying hunters a few million credits to come hunt us down. How insulting. A few million credits? I can make more than that off a back ally poker game if I really put my mind to it.
Things need to change around here. I need to get my flight legs back. I've been stuck in my head on Buffalo for entirely too long now. Why no one brought a bottle of rum, some tobacco, and slapped me out of it before now..... I will never know. But enough is enough. I have grown bored, and my funds are getting slim. It's time to extort and pilfer, finch and sack, Mauraud and embezzle and even highjack.
Here's the million dollar question. Should I play it safe, just target the transports trying to do their jobs. That is usually a good way to get funds..... But it has grown tiresome. They always try to run, no one ever pays up like a good kid should. Or should I put on my big girl panty's and play with the big guns again - After all, I have a reputation to keep. My last big adventure involved knocking down a few doors..... Maybe I should go knock on a few more and see what comes crawling out this time?
I am sure the military in all their might would be thrilled to think that maybe they could do something important, since, well..... They are all cooped up playing glorified police. Of course their excitement will only last as long as it takes them to realize they dancing with mops is about all they are good at doing. Anyone want to place bets on how long that'll take them?

[11.04.2021 05:59:30] Unmistakable: didnt mean to request a trade
[11.04.2021 05:59:45] [R]-Mourning.Star: I did wonder if you had changed your mind about this lot.
[11.04.2021 05:59:50] Unmistakable: are you a new rogue in Liberty or quite old?.. cause don't recall seeing you in the badlands at times..
[11.04.2021 06:00:07] [R]-Mourning.Star: I'm a Rogue from the days of Moka.
[11.04.2021 06:00:20] [R]-Mourning.Star: I just enjoy the quite more often now days.
[11.04.2021 06:00:29] Unmistakable: *smirks* should uput them in holding pen and make them squel for help *starts laughing*
[11.04.2021 06:00:53] Unmistakable: say.. do you like donuts? cause they really cheap to flip to the pirates
[11.04.2021 06:01:17] [R]-Mourning.Star: Do you like them? I am sure I have a few spare.
[11.04.2021 06:01:25] Unmistakable: Get a friend to go inside the law and make them come and give you millions of nearly free donuts *laughs*
[11.04.2021 06:01:45] [R]-Mourning.Star: Maybe I should trade these pilots off for a life time supply........
[11.04.2021 06:01:48] [R]-Mourning.Star: Oh that would be terrible.
[11.04.2021 06:01:51] [R]-Mourning.Star: My hips......

[11.04.2021 06:02:38] [R]-Mourning.Star: Nothing right now, but if I get a life time of free donuts I sure wont be sitting in this ship for much longer.
[11.04.2021 06:02:46] [R]-Mourning.Star: I'll need a freighter to haul my arse around.
[11.04.2021 06:03:07] Unmistakable: yea... but which one would you use, is the question currently..
[11.04.2021 06:03:46] [R]-Mourning.Star: Hmm....... And a good question that is. See, I fly this because I cant stand them. At least this has a fair chance
[11.04.2021 06:03:54] [R]-Mourning.Star: of survival if it comes to it.
[11.04.2021 06:04:25] Unmistakable: true.. but keep in mind, Feighters are really heavy to move but when they move, they fly like no very heavy can
[11.04.2021 06:05:00] Unmistakable: sides.. I heard there a bounty on your head.. i can't claim cause they care less about my mental condusion with the government
[11.04.2021 06:05:20] [R]-Mourning.Star: Whats the bounty worth, hmm?

You really need to hire an engineer who can copy names down without messing it up on the Nonsense Factory. In fact you really need to hire an engineer on the Nonsense Factory. I was so insulted by the fact that it took a cop to tell me that my transponder was showing a typo that I actually turned around, went all the way back to the Nonsense Factory, and this pillock met an unfortunate fate involving a very fast projectile through the head. Moron was so slow he never saw it coming. I'm so distraught about the whole ordeal that I actually refuse to show the logs of the encounter I had with that cop about this. I had to take this hunk of junk to the Junkers and pay them to do the job.... Which meant I had to actually go do some real work for a change since I wasn't about to rely on the traffic choosing to pay me over death today.
And that real work was painful. Aren't those slaves just a pathetic excuse for.... I don't even know what I'd call them. The amount of moaning that goes on back there. help me, its too cold.... Help me, I cant breathe... Help me there's not enough oxygen. Honestly, if I knew they had this much to say I would have never taken the job. On the bright side I still got a pretty good amount of credits - although I don't think they paid me for the two that were sleeping in the back corner which is a shame. The dock master might need a reminder on how to properly treat the traders coming in and out of there. After all, they would really be in a bad situation if we weren't around.
I suppose I cant complain too much. I managed to get a good haul of drugs to take back to Liberty, picked it up for cheap. - cheap enough that I wouldn't trust it. Not that I have to. I'll just palm it off for a reasonable price to the guys on Rochester next time I am down those ways and let them deal with it. For the time being it will be fine in my hold. Not like I am about to go out and extort our lovely friends up here. To be completely honest, I am probably going to take the long way home. Might spend a few days on the freeports seeing if I can find some man to take care of me for a while.... Or a woman..... Doesn't worry me either way.
Like a breath of fresh air. Haven't been out here for quite a while. While it wasn't a proper introduction, a bit of harassment and house cleaning was in order. Liberty is lazy, after all. A performance was in order. I present you two different flights, with the same exact results.
I took the lanes to Westpoint, saw a few people idling by. Gunships, and some naval snubcraft. Took one of them about 3 minutes to try a forced removal. Fortunately, I was the quicker out of the two of us. Witches should expect a bump in the night.
Second time, same circumstances. Except I had an US| vessel herald my arrival, and I went a little further. Manhattan, 46th ship. Took one out of the two, then left quickly as I came. Leaving the usual banter in tow to rub salt into the wound. Another bump in the night, a little more explosive with this one.
On the way back, I met another US| transport. Suffice to say, I didn't remember which one snitched. I just went with the good old collective punishment. Never gets old, plus it got me two million credits. Should have gone easier on the poor guy.
Tune in next time, when I blow up a moon.

Cause of the fact, I'm currently dealing with a headache that's somehow topped my worst hangovers, I'm keeping this short and sweet. While I was rolling around the North Dallas field, I noticed something on my radar, and I had to stop and make sure I was seeing it right, and I was, a Unioner near the New York gate, being shot by some LSF spook.
The Unioner dumbass had some of our guns mounted on his ship, not that they did him any good, cause after he went down, it was my turn, and that explains that headache I just mentioned. Least the Junkers came in handy, surprisingly enough. I attached what they managed to pull from the 'box below.

[24.12.2022 22:25:49] A/)-Sybaris: You hailed from the Omegas, you have claimed territory there?
[24.12.2022 22:26:13] MNS-Amalfi: CO: What kind of help against the Corsairs do you need?
[24.12.2022 22:26:34] [R]-Blackjack: Why should I give a fuck about you and the Corsairs?
[24.12.2022 22:27:21] HRZ~Terpentin: Don't Corsairs have a gig in Liberty with their artifact smuggling?
[24.12.2022 22:27:42] A/)-Sybaris: Usually through independents, such as the Junkers.
[24.12.2022 22:27:50] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Fortunately, they have not venture in Liberty.
[24.12.2022 22:28:01] MNS-Amalfi: //* ventured
[24.12.2022 22:28:04] HRZ~Kettu: He's a point though Kurt. Good askin'. Ain't said you should be caring though. Jus' tellin' you who we are.
[24.12.2022 22:28:09] [R]-Poltergeist: D: Good evening.
[24.12.2022 22:28:30] [R]-Blackjack: What I'm hearing isn't exactly something that leans in your favour.
[24.12.2022 22:28:35] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Buonasera, Capitano - or as you would say - Good evening, Captain.
[24.12.2022 22:28:52] HRZ~Terpentin: Ah, I see you're keen on taking advantage of Rheinland black market yourself.
[24.12.2022 22:29:08] HRZ~Kettu: Ain't it? So yous sayin' there's no business up this way? Ain't no pirate in ye? The fabled Rogues of Liberty?
[24.12.2022 22:29:14] [R]-Poltergeist: D: I'm glad that you have eyes.
[24.12.2022 22:29:17] [R]-Poltergeist: D: For the time being.
[24.12.2022 22:29:19] HRZ~Kettu: Thought you'd be interested in some Omega piracy.
[24.12.2022 22:29:31] [R]-Blackjack: We don't piss where we don't belong.
[24.12.2022 22:29:45] [R]-Poltergeist: D: What exactly is the situation Blackjack?
[24.12.2022 22:29:46] [R]-Blackjack: A lesson you boys clearly haven't been taught.
[24.12.2022 22:29:51] HRZ~Kettu: Exactly, so hows you let us trawl through that shit trough eh?
[24.12.2022 22:29:57] [R]-Blackjack: Upstarts from Rheinland.
[24.12.2022 22:30:01] [R]-Poltergeist: D: As obvious as I think it is?
[24.12.2022 22:30:07] [R]-Blackjack: Getting close to finding out.
[24.12.2022 22:30:10] [R]-Poltergeist: D: Wouldn't mind a little nuance.
[24.12.2022 22:30:18] A/)-Sybaris: Xeno contact closing in.
[24.12.2022 22:30:32] [R]-Blackjack: He closes into a click, blast 'em, Dop.
[24.12.2022 22:30:48] XA-Scarlet: Hmpf.
[24.12.2022 22:30:49] [R]-Poltergeist: D: They wandered where they really shouldn't have.
[24.12.2022 22:30:50] MNS-Amalfi: CO: An interesting meeting indeed.
[24.12.2022 22:30:56] [R]-Blackjack: Enough bullshit on hand for the moment.
[24.12.2022 22:31:11] HRZ~Kettu: Not what I had in mind, Kurt.
[24.12.2022 22:31:17] XA-Scarlet: Bunch of rats scurrying together.
[24.12.2022 22:31:25] HRZ~Terpentin: I know, but this is their choice and not our fault.
[24.12.2022 22:31:36] HRZ~Kettu: Ain't it ever?
[24.12.2022 22:31:38] [R]-Blackjack: Yeah, 'cause your hands are so damn clean.
[24.12.2022 22:31:44] [R]-Poltergeist: D: That's the best you can come up with.
[24.12.2022 22:31:45] [R]-Blackjack: Now, upstarts.
[24.12.2022 22:31:49] HRZ~Terpentin: 'Sup.
[24.12.2022 22:31:58] [R]-Blackjack: You've no damn idea how lucky you are it's me here.
[24.12.2022 22:32:05] HRZ~Terpentin: Sure.
[24.12.2022 22:32:25] [R]-Blackjack: Now, as far as I'm aware they haven't hit anything on our turf, correct, technofreak?
[24.12.2022 22:32:34] [R]-Poltergeist: D: You are. I know how the others start out with the welcome.
[24.12.2022 22:32:47] A/)-Sybaris: We have had no visual contact with HRZ group in Liberty.
[24.12.2022 22:32:56] Death: CaucasianProdigy suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[24.12.2022 22:32:56] A/)-Sybaris: They claimed to have met one of ours within the Omegas. It is not on record.
[24.12.2022 22:32:57] Rules Tip: Pirates can issue only one cargo or monetary demand per encounter. Telling the trader to stop is not a demand, however, if they ignore the request, they can be shot down without issuing further demands.
[24.12.2022 22:33:00] [R]-Blackjack: You said you followed them, correct?
[24.12.2022 22:33:05] A/)-Sybaris: Correct. From Hudson.
[24.12.2022 22:33:18] [R]-Blackjack: And they didn't hit anything?
[24.12.2022 22:33:27] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Xeno, could you eliminate the Technocrat, per favore?
[24.12.2022 22:33:28] A/)-Sybaris: Negative, their bearing was straight to California.
[24.12.2022 22:33:34] [R]-Blackjack: Excellent.
[24.12.2022 22:33:44] [R]-Blackjack: That's good.
[24.12.2022 22:33:53] [R]-Poltergeist: D: Don't make this more complicated than it needs to be, Outcast.
[24.12.2022 22:33:55] A/)-Sybaris: Curious. The Xenos obey the Amalfi?
[24.12.2022 22:33:56] [R]-Blackjack: Right, here's how this plays upstarts.
[24.12.2022 22:33:57] HRZ~Terpentin: Good to know the Techno boys are excellent songbirds, too.
[24.12.2022 22:34:16] A/)-Sybaris: Regional security is a necessity to understand. There is no point in lying.
[24.12.2022 22:34:21] HRZ~Kettu: Wonder if it plays music too?
[24.12.2022 22:34:23] MNS-Amalfi: CO: The Technocrats are interfering with our trade.
[24.12.2022 22:34:32] A/)-Sybaris: Intriguing.
[24.12.2022 22:34:44] 2022-12-24 22:34:42 SMT Traffic control alert: Birdie. has requested to dock
[24.12.2022 22:34:46] [R]-Poltergeist: D: We are doing the questioning here at the moment.
[24.12.2022 22:34:52] [R]-Blackjack: You boys are gonna' go back home cross the border, and if you want to do biz, you use the neural net,
[24.12.2022 22:34:53] XA-Scarlet: Wouldn't be much of a challenge, but the dogs are showing teeth.
[24.12.2022 22:34:57] [R]-Poltergeist: D: I can't exactly talk to the dead.
[24.12.2022 22:35:03] [R]-Blackjack: and you talk to a pack leader, you following?
[24.12.2022 22:35:29] HRZ~Terpentin: Reasonable.
[24.12.2022 22:35:34] [R]-Blackjack: What you don't do, is stroll on in all unannounced, and then expect to be given the red carpet.
[24.12.2022 22:35:49] XA-Scarlet: Don't worry, I'll see you soon.
[24.12.2022 22:35:50] [R]-Blackjack: Now.
[24.12.2022 22:35:52] XA-Scarlet: Dogs.
[24.12.2022 22:35:53] [R]-Blackjack: Go.
[24.12.2022 22:35:59] HRZ~Terpentin: See you around.
[24.12.2022 22:36:04] [R]-Blackjack: Hiss away, Xeno.
[24.12.2022 22:36:09] HRZ~Kettu: Good huntin'.
[24.12.2022 22:36:10] HRZ~Terpentin: Was nice to meet you, Fiorella.
It seems there's been a whistleblower in the Liberty Navy. "Nicole Hayes", detailing a planned assault on Erie, the contents of which are attached below. As it stands the Zoners of Erie are likely untrusting of us, even though we are the ones who burned the old pack responsible for the events in Bering to ashes, and currently hold territorial imperative over the Unioners, and cleanse the Separatists the same. As it stands currently we have but a handful of days before the attack, it is unlikely we can do much in that time frame, some of you will not see the profit in this, regardless of your opinions, my word is law. Any rogue, of our pack, or otherwise, found taking advantage of this situation will be shot down, without question. /The Zoners are off Limits/ while Erie is besieged.
My loyals will be preparing themselves for re-positioning in the following days, in addition to this, I will continue to route weaponry to the Zoners planetside to the best of my ability, the significance of this, we will see in time.
In relation to profit. It is likely many of you were not around for the time when Freeport 2 in Bering favored our people. Much like Ames favors the Xenos. The old pack, headed by the "Warlord" Dwayne Lewis, worked with the old cell of the Unioners, and their leader, a man named "Frei", and the Separatists, lead by the Harmony itself, to overtake the Zoners of Freeport 2, securing it as our own unlawful junction. This not only killed trade through the system, as well as the pool of resources Freeport 2 afforded us, but secured great spite in the eyes of many Zoner groups as a result. Their more militant types especially.
In that time, we have safeguarded the Zoners of Freeport 14 during their evacuation, and subsequent fortification of their station within Alberta, those who now reside within the system of Inverness, while other rogues sought to take advantage of that, and be a hindrance to the Zoners of Alberta, we did not. During the fuel crisis in Pennsylvania, many pirates, of many walks of life, sought to hinder the aid going to the Zoners of Erie, we did not. To the Zoners of Bethlehem, we've maintained our long standing relationship of trade, thanks to the efforts the Rogues of Niverton, a populace station, who, lacking in the advanced facilities of many of our other bases, found a different approach to situating their position.
The profit in this, is that while what happened to Freeport 2 may not be forgiven, our aid rendered unto Erie in their darkest hour, will never be forgotten, and could serve as the final stepping stone in the line of actions that secures us the gratitude we've been so sorely lacking. Not just gratitude however, a place in which we can walk freely, a place where the sky serves not to terrify, and constrict. A place, where we need not hide in the shadows, lying in wait for our next strike. Erie, is a resource hub, if Liberty should prevail, it will be back to business as normal, should Liberty fail, the benefits far outweigh the potential losses.
This is a win/win, regardless of outcome.
And if that's not enough for some of you, the bounty board will see a double-down increase in payments issued, for the deaths of Liberty elements within Pennsylvania, from now, until the end of this crisis.
