Me and Cly were on our way to Newgate pison to drop off some "Corsair pilots" we had picked up, on our way we found an Armoured Transport by the name of "CoLiBrY" outside of Kesington ship yard, we scanned him not escpecting much when we picked up both Artifacts and Cardimine, we asked him to stop and he immediatly docked with the station.
Me and Cly baited him out, we went a little down the lane to manchester so we were out of sensor range, then we headed back down the lane and sure enough he thought that we had gone and undocked. we then demanded that he drop the Artifacts and the Cardimine, he suddenly opened fire on us, we decided to return fire, slowly waring him down, Cly got hit a few times even, which made me mad.
For some reason Ion storms had messed up the tracking abilitys of 90% of our Cruise Disruptors, and they were firing only straight forward at the most key points, because of this he made us chase him for a total of 40 minutes, not including fighting time.
after a very long time of dodging weaving and strafing and shooting we managed to get his ship hull to crack
on Patrol in new london I came upon a Royal Bretonian Gunboat, but this gunboat had no HMS signature, nor any kind of discerning features, I asked him where he managed to get hold of a Bretonian Gunboat, and he said that a friendly miner bought it for him.
this ships crew didnt even manage to point out the name of a commanding officer, or even any crew member at all, how do people get ahold of these ships, and is it even legal? this gunboat remained facing me, Cly informing me that all of his weapons were tracking us, we held our position, and then a Hegemon mining ship undocked from waterloo, he made his way round and began asking me why i was interrigating the unknown gunboat drifting infront of New London.
then suddenly all the surrounding ships began to fire at the miner, and he himself fired all of his weapons at Cly and me! lowering her shields in an instant we maneuvered quickly out of the way, demanding to know what he thought he was doing, the miner redocked with the station, the gunboat still looking right at us.
and then a second unknown gunboat undocked from planet New London, Hone_Nathan. this person actually threatened me, and made remarks about BPA training, I moved to Waterloo station and stayed out of the way, feeling a little scared...
the second trader was destroyed with his Clydesdale by a KNF chimeara wing..
At least 2 traders were warned about their proposed trade destinations in kusari, the first carrying Gold, the second Millitary vehicles..
I began to feel little ill so we landed on the Derby, when we returned to patrol we were given notice of The Joker in dublin as well as a large group of pirates with funny names, I had never seen The Joker before, only heard about him, we were anxious because I heard he's strong, we arrived in dublin and a Venator Private Security vessel was already shadowing the events, the Joker suddenly began to open fire on the pirate swarm, evntually Thug Thunkie showed up to help in a heavy fighter, then the unliscenced Bretonian Gunboat Hone_Nathan appeared, 2 of the funny name pirates -Cherokee- and -Commanche- I believe were killed by The Joker.
We then recieved calls on the radio from sombody called Tomoe-chan as they reported a Liberty Dreadnaught had entered Dublin via the Omega-49 jump hole and was attempting to cruise below the system plain to avoid being caught, he was apparently heading for the Leeds Jump hole so we headed there and flew down below the plane and sure enough caught it.. the LNS-Oblivion Liberty navy Dreadnaught.
This is the second Liberty Super Capital ship we have seen and the 3rd Liberty navy combat ship in a month, I was affraid but we had to ask what he was doing, he said he was doing manouvers in Omega-49 and seemed deeply appologetic for his tresspass, i immediatley called for back up and Leuitenant Commander Martain Bridge arrived and began to throroghly question the dreadnaught captain. I requested that the ship be moved to Leeds under the watchful eyes of the Derby. It complied and the interrogation was held above planet leeds, I then escorted the Dreadnaught out of Bretonia via the Magellan Jump hole and took him to Freeport 4 where the Perihelion battlecruiser was just as surprised as I was.
after a little rest there was trouble again, we had recieved word that a smugger by the name of Draggor was heading into manchester, his cargo was unknown at this time but since both myself and Baker-san were on patrol I thought we could try and catch him, still being in leeds I asked him to proceed to the Manchester Jump hole while me and Cly took the trade lane, we didnt get far as we were stopped half way down by 2 pirate vessels Saari' and ProjectX, we requested Baker-san to proceed to me canceling the smuggler order, at this moment Captain Blake Owen was around also and he proceeded down the lane to the 2 pirates. ProjectX began making profound comments about my Kusarian background which hurt a little. a mercenary by the name of Gullveig who had been talking with Constable Baker-san also joined, we managed to get 12 BPA pilots off ProjectX but Saari' refused and fled into the west leeds smog cloud, all of us chased him, since baker-san was closest he was chasing Saari' everyone jumped into new london's Debres field near Trafalgar, Saari' continued to run and baker-san was hot on his heels, ProjectX was attempting to follow his friend but me and Cly disrupted him, we didnt want Baker-san to be out numbered with no weapons, projectX threatened us "if you do that again.. i'll kill you" he again tried to cruise to his friend and we disrupted him again, at this point a fight began.
ProjectX tried to lure us into jousting with him, but I knew we wouldnt have any chance in this situation, his Code weaponed Eagle Talon heavy fighter got us a few times, we lured him into trying to out turn us and then began to remove his shields on the turn, with his shields down he started dropping nuclear mines, we fired a Cruise Disruptor at him and just at that moment he released a mine halving his health, me and Cly then went back on the defensive as he turned at us and came in for revenge.
After luring him into a slow turn we removed his shield again and managed to get him with his own mine using disruptors removing another 45% of his hull, at this point Captain Blake decided to jump in on the action engaging ProjectX.
Saari' now docked on Trafalgar had paid the Mercenary Gullveig to fight us all with ProjectX, however projectX quickly ran away to Trafalgar himself, leaving the Mercenary to fight to the death... alone.. after along while and with Commander Blake Gullveig's target i finally managed to bring him down, the Commanders ship was heaily damaged and Cly was going crazy because of all the radioactive substances in the area.
me and Leo-tousama decided to patrol Edinbrugh tonight.. its my the least patroled system so Cly suggested it would be agood to give it a once over, we found a jump hole to a place tousama knew called "lewis" i asked him about it and he said to NEVER go in there... because there are Gaians and monsters inside... i didnt like the sound of the monsters so we left Edinbrugh and on the way back to the Derby there were 5 Pirates on the Lane, it was the funny named pirates from the other day, they were back again, after stopping and exchanging words, Cly connected me to the emmergency frequency and I radio'd for back up,
At this point me and Cly withdrew and father not long after that.. we staged at the derby gathering our strength, joined by Alice.Ross whom im assuming was a Mercenary...oh wait.... Cly says she is.. MI5.. whatever that is, anyway her and BAF Leiutenant Commander Jare Kalo joined myself and father (Leonardo Ramirez), making it 4 against 5, no further reinforcements appeard to be on the way, the "indians" as Kalo-shousa called them, made there way out of the smog cloud and into plain sight at around 6k from the planet leeds on the north side of the edinbrough lane.S
they started to attack BAF rookie operatives (nps's) and the Lt Commander placed them under arrest by order of the queen, the "indians" laughed and decided to attack us, including the Corsair Gunboat.
Me and Cly jumped straight into one of the Havoc bombers that had been irritating us since we last met, eventaully me and Cly put him away and moved onto the next Havoc bomber, which also soon fell leaving 2 sabres and a gunboat.
one of the Sabres was destroyed and left only 1 more indian pirate vessel. The Gunboat "Xavier" was engaged out of sensor range and so we could not locate it and continued to fight the remaining pirate. At this point "Cardinal Reaver" had showed up and was spectating the fighting.
Kalo-shousa's ship was destroyed by the Gunboat and Leo was left fighting it alone since me and Ross-san were both busy with the remaining Indian ship. Soon the Indian vessel began to flail mines around in his last efforts to inflict damage on one of us before his hull cracked,
1 more indian ship arrived "the Apache" and after the gunboat had dissengaged heavily damaged and clinging onto its life Leo-tousama started to attack the Apache, I joined in and then was ordered to leave the fight to him, soon after this point Cardinal Reaver had decided that I was a worthy bounty and moved in to try and take us out, me and Ross-san showed him the door, he was caught in a sandwich between his own mines and instantly killed after losing his shields.
the fight was so long it is split into two halfs, definately worth a watch though... I was soooo excited, hyaha!

Ello sirs and ma'ams, I have a report to submit, so here it goes.
I heard of a Corsair disturbance in Cambridge so I launched from New London with tea in hand. Nothing happened on my way there and I met up with a BAF battleship that was there to provide assistance if necessary. I began patrolling the lanes and found them on the lane between the Norfolk and Cardiff. There were four corsairs and a Kusarian. After a short chat I and the other BAF ships were able to convince the hostiles to drop their pilots and head off to Omega-5. Unfortunately, the Kusarian had fifteen nuclear devices on board and she proceeded to drop them around the trade lane. I had to pull out to a safe range before we began to open fire to prevent her from dropping any more. She eventually ran off to the Omega-5 jump hole and he Corsair friends soon followed.
The Kusarian flying the ship with the devices was called Amelia.Zoa if I remember correctly. I suggest she be put on the terrorist watch list.
On other business...I would like to request a leave of absence to Planet Cambridge. Some problems with the farm have sprung up and my father needs all the hands he can get. If more details are required or I am desperately needed I will still be in contact.
me and cly took off from Derby-san in leeds, we made our way to Dublin to start out patrol, there we found Amelia:Zoa and Argonavtebi, they both proceeded to engage us! we managed to dodge them both since htey were much slower than Cly is, the BAF Jones-taisa (BAF|Capt.Robert.Jones) came to the rescue in his challenger bomber, Zoa-obasan (old lady Zoa) started shooting him and me and Cly kept her off is back, then he turned and did a cool manuoever firing all his guns he killed her, then we focused on the Capital 8 armored Gunboat,
of course me and Cly could do little at this point, but we kept his shields low so Jones-taisa could work faster, we even managed to get some hull damage in, although we didnt really do any actual damage it felt good!
the gunboat ran into the Dublin Jumphole and we followed it and continued to attack, eventually we managed to destroy it in the Hood asteroid field.
a while later there was trouble at G5 on the map, me and Adama-shousa (BAF|LtCdr.Lee.Adama) made our way to this grid point, just as we got there one of our gunboats went down, there were 2 bombers!
Pink.Paradise and Kobuleti*]
after a long bout of weaving ducking and dodging one of the bombers escaped into the Omega 49 jump hole, me and Owen-junshou (BAF|Cdre.Blake.Owen) jumped in after him and we both managed to bring him down, the kill going to Cly and me.
after this had conluded and the other bomber had been chased to arranmore, things were quiet fora while, until i found another Corsair, going by the name of "Calypso's Call" a Heavy Fighter vessel, as we approached he began to fire on some of the miners present and we engaged him.
After a very long tiring fight me and Cly managed to destroy him.
real time footage of the fight with "Calypso's Call" can be seen here

Well, I got myself all nice and kitted out, I guess. Hussar, picked up my badge, got the Debilitator, etc. Here's proof:
So after running around to get that all set up, I sat over Leeds and stopped a trader with military vehicles for inspection. I questioned his destination and luckily he was heading for Leeds, so I told him to proceed.
Then there was a Dragon. I wasn't sure how to react, so I simply told him to hand over the Gaian pilots in his hold and left it to the BAF officer on scene. He didn't seem to be a threat and was talking about attacking KNF, so...

I have been entrenched in a battle with the Neural Net Commission for a few weeks now. There were no "tricks in the book" that were applicable here so I had to "write my own book" as it were.
Eventually, with a pending charge of obstructing justice against their name and a very persuasive letter in their inbox (containing cunningly veiled threats and hinting at our knowledge about some of the Directors' habits), the pathetic officials stopped throttleing our data.
A victory well deserved but a serious waste of time.
Sykes has once again proved invaluable, he procured valuable information from his 'contacts' and a strike team was able to arrest the leaders of a growing drug ring that has been supplying the main megatropolis with Dust and Cardamine for a few months now.
Another will fill its place soon however, there must be some back door to Bretonia that smugglers are using.

Well, I started out on Leeds and swung over to Manchester on patrol. Nothing notable, though I did stop by Newgate to look at it. Surrounded by a minefield, I was rather impressed.
Then I swept back down to New London and found this one crazy guy outside the planet... he was shooting at a Junker, and blew him up. I tried to stop him for questioning but he zoomed off and took the lane to Cambridge. He must've stopped it halfway or something, because constables on the other end didn't pick him up.
Then I talked with a superior officer, Stanley Calvert of the SRD. He seemed like a nice enough guy.
Then, when it seemed like the most boring patrol ever, a Council Admiral launched from the planet and said he was part of an envoy to Bretonia or something. He was on his way home, so he left... and then I landed and wrote this report.
