Ahoy!
I have recently obtained the LPI Guard IFF and have commissioned a Gunboat, it is named LPI-Rockland. I have tested the Rockland in a combat situation with one of our finest officers and it coped very well (the weapon loadout will need changing as it is still kitted out for a Anti-Capital ship mission).
The mobile Sunbucks branch, LPI-Sunbucks[Shop] is now supplying weapons along with the standard products such as, Coffee, Doughnuts, Muffins and Cookies. The shop will be stationed at Fort Bush and occasionly Manhattan. The shop may be contacted personaly for weapons.

I would also like to say that the LPI-Rockland needs repairs and will be in dry dock for the next 4 weeks...this is because it was hit by a SNAC shot whilst in the combat simulation...thank you for that...you know who you are...and because of this there is a gaping whole in the side of my new ship! Thank goodness the coffee machine blocked the breach otherwise Earl the Teaboy would of been sucked out!
Deputy Chief Williams sat in her office, gently tapping her fingers, almost rhythmically against her desk, staring intently at her door, waiting for her secretary to enter the room.
Shaw stumbled through the door, visibly shaking, getting called into Riza's office was never a good thing, Riza just smirked slightly at him, standing up and walking over to him and quickly grabbing him by the wrist, making him hold out his hand, she reached into her back pocket and pulled out two Sergeant stripe pins, placing them in his hand and then pushing his hand slightly, to make it close around the pins, she then let go of him, smiling to him and nodding her head.
"You're promoted Shaw, you've earned it, that's all, Dismissed!"
Riza laughed softly as Shaw exited her office, she then leaned back in her seat and decided to take a nap, seeing as her shift was over but she didn't feel like going home.

>>To: LPI HQ >>Subject: Promotion, "Jelly and Ice Cream" Creature Smuggler, Harvester in New York.
Greetings,
First of all I would like to thank Ms Williams for my promotion recently, I have been working very hard towards it and finally reached it!
Second, today I encountered a Outcast "Tridente" Gunship sitting by Fort Bush, in his hold were several "Jelly and Ice Cream" Creatures (Nomads) and several more Minor Nomads in there also. I asked him to drop them and he did not comply, instead he fled and dropped the lane halfway down, I followed him 74k out but was the ordered by the Liberty Navy to fall back.
Here is the cargo hold scans I got: Legacy Slayor Cargo Scans
Thirdly, there was a smuggler that was known to the LSF exiting Manhattan space, he was told to stop, he failed to comply, I therefore got the order to engage from the LSF, he was swiftly dispatched by a few shots from my gunners.
Here is the Turret Cam shot: Smuggler Turret Kill shot
Also whilst on patrols in New York I was informed by a LSF agent and a Liberty Naval Officer that there was a Harvester near Westpoint, I went to the location and found that LSF agent Julia Wolf was already engaged, I did not engage at first but was then ordered to by the Liberty Navy gunboat that was flying with me. The Harvester was a Corsair class gunboat that it had probably taken over. After a few minutes the Harvester was alight and a last shot from my gunners took him out.
Here is the Turret Cam shots: Harvester_74 Kill
That is all for today, thank you again for my promotion!
Shaw signing off.

Riza sighed softly as she looked into the video monitor, brushing her bangs off her forehead she let out another soft sigh, judging by what could be seen on the monitor, Riza was out of uniform and obviously not in her office.
"As you boys can see by now, I'm not in my office, I've gone home, I've decided to step down from my seat as a Deputy Chief, I've left the resignation papers on my desk in my old office, I do however want to continue contributing to this fine Police Force, but I need to get back out into the field! "
Riza paused for a moment and looked around the room briefly, before turning back to the video recorder and speaking again.
"A desk job just doesn't work for me...it makes me feel like I'm not doing enough to ensure that the job gets done at the end of the day, So...bump me down a few ranks or something so I can get back out in the field and actually get things done! Give my old office to somebody who deserves it more than me, I'm sure there's a few within our ranks who do. As I said though, I still want to contribute, So I hope you will put me into a lower rank and keep me, Of course, if you won't keep me, and wish to discharge me due to my decision to step down, I understand that as well, I'll be waiting here on Houston for your decision, Riza signing off!"
Riza gives a salute to the video screen and then cuts the feed.
Ahem, Greetings. This is Alexandra Markey, current Recruit of the LPI. Today has been quite eventful in the New York system. I ran several patrols, as well as assisted in a few calls, and I'm uploading my neural net log from the day now.
ENTRY 1
Upon launching from Manhattan, I was immediately greeted with the sight of an "Aquilon" Class Zoner Carrier. At first I was taken aback by it's size and current position, but quickly remembered my job. I contacted the carrier's captain, who goes by the callsign of Yoda-[T], to verify his Capital Ship registration and permit, and everything checked out.
I set out on a patrol course to Fort Bush, and intercepted a trader headed to a neighbouring system, and did the normal check for contraband and other ammenities checked out, and the trader was free to go.
While heading back to Manhattan after having finished my Patrol, the tradelane sequence was disrupted by an Outcast vessel. I called in for backup, but the vessel managed to flee.
Aftering having reached Manhattan, I encountered yet another large vessel trader, and took the oppurtunity to make sure it wasn't carrying any illegal goods, and it wasn't. Everything on scanners checked out fine.
I'd begun to start another patrol when I got a mayday call from the LNS-San.Francisco. Apparently it was being attacked and boarded by a large AI vessel int he vicinity of Rochester. I managed to gain radio contact with an LPI wing that had already been deployed, and recieved constant updates of the situation. The San Francisco was disabled, boarded, and set to blow, while the captain of the vessel, Seth Karlo, was taken hostage upon the AI's vessel. I immediately cleared the blast zone, and braced for the San Francisco's detonation, which happened as it drifted past Rochester base. The base took heavy damages, but no civilians were killed.
Immediately the LPI scrambled in search for the San Francisco's captain. I received a faint message that seemed like the beacon that pods send out once they've been ejected, and went to investigate. Upon reaching the co ordinance I believed the signal was coming from, I was ambushed and grappled by two Lane Hacker vessels. I was able to call in for help, and the Hackers were sent scrambling once my fellow officers showed up.

Subject: Reporting for duty
Greetings. To start my first entry in the message dump, I would like to say thank you to deputy chief Jim Markey for approving my application. Also, my first few days in the LPI have been uneventful, save for an Order vessel outside Manhattan on Thursday. but all of this, and a lot more of just the same, will bring me no closer to the truth about why the Battleship Unity was destroyed.
Officer Idaho out.
Name: Marcus Lindberg
Rank: Offizier...whoops, I mean Officer...
Not much happened today. Patrolled around for a bit, a rogue sat right next to West Point for no reason. He had some Police officers, I asked for them and asked him to leave. He refused. Took him down. Simple as that.
Lot's of Ionstorms today! Really, many! And Ionstormsat did not see any of them coming! We should send our lawyers after them, or better, make a law that will cost them 500 millions per Ionstorm they did not see coming! It is annoying to hell!
Right, now i said that, on to the more important stuff.
That dude called Polaris was around in New York, provoking everyone and everything. But he did not show his nose. Instead, i saw another Rogue VHF, which name i forgot. It ran away as soon as it saw my ship, little coward he was.
Proceeded to fly around without anything to do for the next 30 minutes, nothing showed up. The only time another Rogue was seen, the LSF and [LN] decided it's their job to destroy them.
Got contacted by a Freight Captain somewhen, he asked if he could get docking clearances on Norfolk with a load of Plutonium. Told him he should ask the Navy for that, as Norfolk is their territory. Guess what, there was no Navy to reach! Great.
Escorted him from the Galileo Jumpgate in Colorado to Philadelphia station in Pennsylvania. Got 750.000 Credits for that.
Good.
Back in New York, i flew to Fort Bush to see a LSF Officer fighting with an Outcast. He did destroy that ship.
Somewhen, an Order Sekhmet showed up at Bush. Of course we attacked it and destroyed it.
Before that Order dude appeared, a Hellfire Bayonet HF (or something in that direction) appeared. As the Order was killed, another HF appeared, a Sabre this time.
Somehow, the LSF managed to vanish leaving me alone with both of them.
As my fuel was running low, i decided to refuel at Bush before i did anything else.
But those stupid idiots of what you call CENSORED DID NOT HAVE THE FUEL I NEED FOR MY LIBERATOR!
CENSORED
I'm tired. But before i go to bed i guess i have to tell you why.
Very well, got fuel for my Liberator delivered to Bush. It was enough to fill up the depots of my Liberator. Went to Manhatten and.... saw about 4 or 5 Falcatas and one or 2 Sabres! Fighting against Captain Karlo and one or 2 other Navy officers! I immediatly attacked them too! Several LSF agents and Officer Masket showed up at some point, as well as various Bounty Hunter, and Mercs, including one that Captain Karlo hired before hee had to gave up his ship.
Of course, there were also various pirats appearing in the time the fight lasted.
I'm not able to give you all details of the fight, just let me say that two pirats suicided into Manhattens atmosphere, luckily without any harm onto the surface.
I myself got last shots on three of them. I also got the last Hacker standing as he had builded up a Mine Cluster around himself, which detonated due to my CD Missile.
As all hostiles were deleted, a random Hacker gunship appeared, but we managed to destroy it with our fighters. Sadly i have to add, as we planned to let him go away barely alive.
Torro Trait walked into the office and started looking for the chief. A lady in LPI uniform confronted him, "Got a report? Hand it to me ill give it to the chief." Trait handed the report to her and thanked the lady.
The report is as follows:
Today i started my routine around our beautiful New York. When i arrived at fort bush there was a trader and an officer of the LPI. He was in the middle of collecting a fine of 500k. I asked him if he cared to do a patrol with me and he agreed. After a minute of patrol we found a Rogue near pittsburg. But to our surprise, doing nothing... Beats me. That's pretty much all for today Chief.
