Well done, Lt. Seldon. I am authorizing you to mount a Adv. Debilitator Turret you can purchase from Detroit Munitions. In addition, we are expecting some Nova AMs to come in.
In the mean time, you have orders to retain liberty weapons status with the exception of a civilian pulse turret.
In addition, does anyone see the selling of War Bonds(see avatar) as a viable source of income? We could have buyers post here, and we could keep track of them as well ourselves. I say a bond for 10k to be reinbursed as 15k in two weeks.
Yay for yes, and Nay for no. Post below. Thanks.
Gurney, signing off.
PS
-We need to post up a list of time charts...As in when we will each be on.
Added 2:49AM
In addition, I engaged a X_Killer_X today outside Willard. I believe that he had hoped to trade peacefully, but I made the mistake of firing on him.
If you are this person by any chance, please note that the GSA in California is Red, meaning that you may be fired on without warning if you appear red on an SA official's HUD. This warning will be lifted ONCE the HF cease their war against us. I apologize, sir, for any grief I may have caused.
Tannik, will you check you PM box for my msg and PM me back?
Thanks.

Greetings gentlemen! If these "War Bonds" are aproved, I would be willing to invest up to 5mil in the SA, so long as traveling through liberty space becomes less treacherous. I have made a profit traveling through the relative safety of Liberty, and have apreciated the hospitality. However, the influx of terrorists, pirates, and other resent hostilities to couriers in the liberty area have made me question my employment with Agiera, and think about couriering VIPs from Cambridge again... Please contact me if this intersests you.
A war bond is essentially a short term loan from various individuals, rather than a loan from another faction.
Pros:
War bonds can be reinbursed over time slowly, rather than having to pay a huge debt at once.
Bonds will not get us in trouble with other factions.
Bonds usually have a low interest rate.
Cons:
War Bond management can get VERY messy and be a pain to deal with.
We need to be there to reinburse ALL bonds. (I suggest Planet Denver to be our Bond office. Nussebull and I will select a bondsman.)
We can ONLY use them when we still have a steady influx of credits. (I think we need to assign a escort to expander)

Time of Report 4:45PM EST
Gurney reporting here. Engaged the HFD-Prometheus after hiring sso| lead Micah Shoultz. sso|ace.micah.shoultz for sum of 2 Million on successfull kill of HFD-Prometheus.
I was unable to engage alone, as the Prometheus outclassed me completely. Shoultz had Nova AMs mounted and was able to take the Prometheus out.
Crew of the Prometheus taken safely to neutral Planetform base and given political refuge.
The Prometheus fought very valiantly. The HF are an enemy to respect, no matter how they should mock us.
Nussebull, sso|ace.micah.shoultz still needs to be paid 1 million credits. In addition, procure funds for 4 Nova AMCs. In addition, I am recommending a new layout. 2 Adv. Debils, 1 Adv. Debil Turret, and 3 Venges.
Fighter patrols are to change home base now to Planet California Minor.
Gurney out.

To: SA High Command
From: Lt. Tannik Seldon (callsign: Sushi)
Commander,
I think that war bonds are an excellent idea. However, maybe we should limit the number of buyers by setting a fairly high minimum purchase price. It will be a simpler task to manage a few large bonds than a whole host of smaller ones.
Gentlemen, A shipment with new equipment
is on its way, all ships will get armour upgrades and
new weapons at Willard Research station.
in the meanwhile get Pulse guns at Detroit Munitions.
I strongly recommend you to get Large Trains, (I'll lend you money for one)
we need funds to construct capital ships.
Prices:
(Fully armed)
Note: Prices not accurate. (Spoiler warning)
Liberty Assault Frigate ~ 150mil, armour: 300k (recommended)
Liberty Gunboat ~ 40mil - (?)
Liberty Cruiser ~ 75mil - (?)
Liberty Dreadnought ~ 230mil, armour: 420k
Liberty Carrier ~ 230mil, armour: 480k
New law:
The area around Willard Research station is now restricted space,
any non-personnel will be given one warning to leave
if you do not comply, you will be shot.
It has come to my attention that one of my pilots, callsign: Valkyrie, was involved in an engagment in the California System several days ago. Unfortunatly intel on the incident indicates that the enemy not only ID'd his ship but has put a mark out for him. As a pilot of the 226th Special Operations Wing this situation is unacceptable. The covert nature of this unit requires that we maintain the strictest level of secrecy. For security reasons I can't say more. As for Valkyrie, I have no choice but to put him on inactive flight status. However, in light of recent events and the pressing nature of the threat to Liberty security, I have decided to temporarily assign him to the California System under your expert leadership. He's a hothead but a damn fine pilot. If you will have him, I'm sure he will be a valuable asset. He is scheduled to report within the day if accepted. Standard reporting procedures apply. Thank you Admiral for your time.

REPLY to Cmd. Adamson, LNV Valhalla
FROM Gurney, Harrison
Thank you commander. Our time is worthy of you.
As for Valkyrie, I am going to station you Riverside station as of now. You will serve as backup to either the California Lance or Angels Lance. Your services are invaluable to the SF as of now.
In addition, commander, I am willing to offer Valkyrie hostel in the Virginia Bastion should he need it.

Your current request for an alliance at this time is unacceptable.
Since the Nomad Invasion, Liberty has done nothing but slap reparations on us in order to pay for supposed damages we caused. Take that in account with our own economic problems, and you have placed an unfair burden on us we cannot hope to free ourselves from.
Now that a specialized military force has assembled and you are already under attack, you expect us to help you with open arms? I say "No!"
You can take this treaty back to whatever demented mind it came from with my dagger in it. You will not send another insult like this again, and if you do there will be dire consequences for your folly.
