SUBJECT: Meeting a Zoner Trader
Salutations Admiral,
On a regular patrol, and basic diagnostic test for Bounty, seeing as she has been in dry dock for some days, I stumbled across a Zoner Trader in Colorado. This trader was PJ-888 and I asked him if we could chat, and he agreed to do so.
Our chat is all in my logs below, and it was interesting to get his opinions on the situation we have with the Zoner warmongers in pennsylvania.
This fellow seemed very anxious about chatting at first, but I gained his confidence and assured him he would not be hurt in any way.

[07.09.2023 17:11:25] 1st|LNS-Bounty: I can understand that .... I do know of some installations in Galileo owned by Zoners
[07.09.2023 17:11:47] 1st|LNS-Bounty: And as far as I know they are peacful ones
[07.09.2023 17:11:53] PJ-888: I normally use my Whale, which is unarmed but carries a lot more. My bases are in Galileo.

- I confirm that the ship in question "The Angel" will be ready for you/your personel when they arrive.
- 100 Marines are stationed and will depart on your orders only.
- I will proceed with the shipping of the Angel ins crew to Fort Bush and Manhattan immediately as intended.
- The Data key card to fire up the Angels drivecore engine is with Marine 1, the officer in charge of securing this station, call him on the holocomm.
He is also asigned orders to only give that keycard to a by you apointed personel.
- You can fly that ship to a scrapyard, barely, but it will fly, however poorly due to ongoing engineering atm.
I consider myself relived of duty then from "The Angel" operation.
May she become a memory of our "Victory over the ins" and instill sound reasoning in the "ins-leftovers" still sculcing about.

Salutations Admiral Leer,
It's been a while since I've been to space, and enough is enough.
Time for me to be back on duty.
Starting today, my ships have their engines fired up and ready for duty.
Here's a little patrol report I've done around Planet Manhattan.

Heroes,
Alongside Lt. Mahdi Makeri in command of the Overlord and Viper Commander, we discovered a Kansas station. There was a contractor who was just supplying it. Obviously, there is an embargo on Kansas, and this base has to be monitored for any hostile activity.

SUBJECT: This is it!
Heroes,
Ohio was attacked by Ohio, strange vessels appeared, and a final armada of Liberty ended the Insurgents - what a final few hours of the nightmare that is now finally over!
Well done to all the heroes of the Ohio Battlegroup. I have been the leading figure of the Insurgency campaign alongside Dylan Brandt. For many controversial, but in the end, we have been vindicated - all the sacrifice was worth it, Liberty is whole again, the Insurgency is no more!

SUBJECT: Copernicus Mission
Fellow explorers,
Today we I have led an expedition to Copernicus with many of our officers. On the way there we disabled an uncooperative Cardamine smuggler and destroyed the contraband.
The system itself is strange, laced with many hazards - we have even ended up in Sigma-13! A lot of trial and error with the local anomalies is required to make sure you stay safe.
In the end, we got out of the Sigmas by repairing at a local freeport and returned to base. The system, surely still holds many mysteries we can explore.
