Ensign Ethan Tamner reporting in.
Woooow, today was a LONG day.
Started out when I launched and was met by Lt Samuel Stubbs, who told me to get to Z-21 immediately. I cruised there as fast as possible, and arrived just in time to see a renegade Order, Zygoeths, enter.
Samuel told him that the penalty for tresspassing in Z-21 was death, and that since he was a renegade the Order-Liberty treaty no longer applied to him. He then tried to make a run for it, but one of his engines was hit by one of our shots, and his gunboat veered off and crashed into the minefield:
After this incident, scanners picked up a Liberty Rogue vessel, Felix.Kelley, trying to enter Z-21 as well. Samuel and I flew out to engage, and caught him outside the minefield.
We were heavily outgunned by the gunboat, but Sam managed to get a merc, [M]Frost, to help us, just as another Rogue, Matthias.Kelly, came to aid his comrade.
After a short while, Sam managed to destroy Matt's ship and Felix fled from us into the badlands, where I was forced to break off the pursuit. I was then immediately recalled because of yet ANOTHER breach of Z-21, this time from a Junker, Little_Johnny, who was engaged by Lt. Samuel, Squadron Leader MacTavish and I.
He fled from us into the Alaska system, but we pursued and destroyed him:
We flew back out, and all was quiet for about 15 minutes, until two transports entered the Z-21 minefield and began to head brazenly towards the jumpgate. They refused to turn back or even stop at all, and so were also eliminated:
After this, a hellfire legion ship, [HF]-Ayane.Kosuke, thought to test our defenses of Zone-21 as well:
A few minutes into this engagement, an overcharged Debilitator pulse from one of our weapons hit the HF vessel, knocking out all its electronics. Before we could destroy it, however, a nomad-infested gunboat, Wintermute, flew past us, forcing us to chase after him:
About halfway through the fight, it became clear that MacTavish and Sam had it under control, so I headed back into Z-21 to discover that the HF ship had apparently rebooted all its systems and was coming after me, so a fierce battle ensued.
I fought to the best of my ability, severely damaging the bomber, but eventually a supernova shot hammered into my ship, disintegrating it instantly. My pod flew out of the fireball and bumped against the jumpgate, where I was treated to a pleasing view of the HF ship's right engine failing and crashing into the mines. Samuel picked up my pod as soon as he finished with the corsair gunboat, and brought me back to Manhattan, where I went off duty. What a day that was! Will be back in space after some well-deserved sleep and a strong beer.
Tamner out.

I have the code. The code that grants access to the place you protect so much. So do the rogues. It won't matter how many times you change it, we will always have it.
You "police" are so gullible. I make a story about living on Manhattan, and getting kicked out of my home and you believed me. Seemed like no thought at all, just "Authorized".
You didn't realize that there is a bigger picture involved here. Something bigger than you think. It all started with th-
Indeed, Zane has sold me the codes for a sum of 50 million credits. Quite a cheap price to pay for them don't you think? However much you wish to affiliate him with us you are wrong. He is not of the Rogues, he just follows the money.
You best be guarding that gate, what we are going to do is bigger then you can even imagine. The pain it will cause is greater then anything ever has. Once and for all the people of liberty will get what they diser...

Hey, Kelly? Nice try, kid.
Seems like your attempt to penetrate our security failed miserably, now, doesn't it? I was fortunately alert enough to catch you hanging around the Zone earlier today - Ensign Tamner and I jetted over as fast as we possibly could to spoil your party. Even calling in your brother Matthias couldn't swing the fight in your favor - I dispatched Matthias' Barghest with a well-placed Razor while you fled to the Badlands with your tail between your legs. Abandoning your own brother? Shame on you.
Moral of the story? Yes - the Navy can and does enforce its charter, and some two-bit Rogues are no match for the long arm of the law. Violate it, and you will be summarily dealt with. Stubbs out.
As usual the Liberty dogs change the story. You had to call in a gunboat for help, when I destroyed him you had to call in another one. And once the fight was beginning to look in my and Matthias' favor, you had to call in a Battlecruiser to finish the job.
That was my second encounter, my first encounter was just as hideously unbalanced and look at the damage me and Zane inflicted.
You do not understand who you are dealing with here, I am the greatest pilot you will face. I have fought valiantly with over 3:1 odds and have managed to elude your "Ropes of Justice" every time.
I suggest yet again you all watch your backs, you are in way over your heads now that I have these cod...
What are you talking about, Rogue? Been sucking too much Cardamine lately?
During the fight we had, only Ensign Tamner and I, both in Guardians, were around to put some pressure on you. As I recall, we stripped you of all your shield batteries, but weren't making enough of a dent in your hull, so we called in a Mandalorian hanging around in New York to finish the job more quickly. Just before the Mandalorian actually arrived, your brother showed up - I disengaged you and dispatched his Barghest alone while you wet yourself and ran as the Mandalorian showed up and opened fire. No idea from what fight your neural net log excerpt up there is from.
You, the "greatest pilot I'll ever face"? Don't make me laugh. I'm always ready to make you run home crying, Rogue. As I hope you realized today - mess with Sam Stubbs and he messes back. In fact - mess with the Navy, and it messes back. Problem is that we mess back better, faster and harder. Stubbs out.
Think what you want Navy scum I dont touch Cardimine. The second gunboat that came was part of LSF, and then Gamfwm came shortly after. You must have been to busy trying to kill my brother to have noticed.
As to you Gamfwm, no matter how many times you change the code it is sent to a remote terminal. You have no way of defending it.
