I prepared report from events which occured yesterday.
First, a big battle against multiple BHG forces occured in Minor. I was hitted by torpedo, my engines were destroyed and I was forced to abandon ship. My Havoc Mk2 was taken back to Isis and repaired, it's now fully operational. We were loosing battle but then Blood Dragon reinforcements arrived and thanks to them BHG forces taked heavy cassualties. From black box engineers managed get few guncams which I will upload now:
Later, we encountered BHG bomber and gunship in Delta. Fight occured, bomber was taken down and their gunship survived, cruiser Ghost Eye sustained critical damage and propably is in repair dock. Uploading guncams:
Today we detected the LNS Arizona in Iota. After I had informed Admiral D'Souza, he returned to Minor from Kusari, and a fleet was built up...it hjsut happened. We had three or four Osirises, my crusier, a GB, and fighters adn bombers.
After we had finally cornered it in Minor. it was destroyed by Isis before it could retunr to Liberty space. But that isnt what really this is about.
Later, after the Admiral had left us doing sims on 100 to practice. Thats when I detected another LNS in Delta, The Providence.
Thats when it happened.
I called Tiberius and Strauss of the Repentance and Itzamna, who moved to Delta to Assit. My Cruiser still ahss oem bugs from her beating the other day.
I was at the Freeport, talking to the captain, when his second told us that thier science team was dead. They had a small number of Superior Nomad brains onboard. I ordered them to dispose of them. They finally did, after the captain had said "Order was right." His entire crew was dead, excluding a man named Ken. They were holed up in the Bridge when I arrived. I slapped on Mooring cables and connected my airlock. My Doctor, Carson Beckett, his medical team, and three highly trained Marine Squads entered the Providence. They took out regular Nomads, which where destroyed. Beckett checked the men out, and, finding them uninfected, we escorted the Providence home. The Marines stayed aboard to help her back. I contacted the LNS Ithaca to assit the Providence when we arrived in Alaska. I managed to get the Seige Cruiser to Junaeu Shipyards where the Ithaca took over.
And as I was returning back to Minor, the Unholy Melody was mad at the LN for attacking the Atum. I continually ordered her to hold ehr fire. I didnt want my act of kindess screwed over by a vendetta. The LNS-HolySeaStone or whatever and me started talking, and we agree that communication was vital. It seems not everyone in the Navy thinks we are mindless terrorists. I asked them to keep thier ships away, because I didnt want to have to do any more acts of kindness...not because I ddint want to, no, but becasue I ddint want to HAVE to do that. People died today, and I hated having to stand by. Dont get me wrong, I wanted to help, and I will help everytim, but I dont want to have to be in a situation like this, where people die. I hope you udnerstadn what I'm trying to say.
The Providence is now back in Liberty hands, and the Unholy Melody returned to Minor space under my direct orders.

Subject: Preliminary Tohoku recon and encounter with infected vessels
Today while conducting preliminary recon in the Tohoku system in preperation for the beginning of Order operations in the area in cooperation with the Blood Dragons I encountered significant resistance from infected pilots. The full account of events is as follows.
At first I set out from Chugoku with my guide Teraku Oshiro with the intention of scouting the system and assessing the defences of the Arch. Oshiro revealed that Kusari Naval vessels had been spotted around the arch in recent weeks which means that the vessels were probably infected. Once we reached the Omicron 92 jump hole we encounted another ship, Koji Arakaki who claimed to be a Blood Dragon. The Nomad technology mounted on the vessel and the ping on our database of infected ships said otherwise however. Despite this, my guide was convinced the pilot was a fellow Blood Dragon and did not take kindly to my accusations. It seems the Dragons scanners are not configured to detect Nomad signatures in the way that Order scanners are and my guide was unable to see the evidence staring him straight in the face.
In the interests of maintaining good relations with the Dragons, I was forced to leave the infected vessel to its business and continue with my recon while my guide headed for Ryuku base to refuel. Heading towards the arch, I began my assessment of its defences.
As I approached, I came under fire from auto defences and the infected pilot Mishi Miyazawa launched from the arch. The vessel I had encountered earlier activated the Nomad mindshare and the vessels became instantly agressive. Thankfully, my guide was not yet out of sensor range and my earlier accusations were proved correct to him. As I retreated towards Ryuku base a further infected pilot Ameline Ryoku joined the chase. My Blood Dragon guide sacrificed his vessel to destroy one of the attackers and allow me to reach Ryuku base but unfortunately my vessel was disabled as I attempted to dock, leaving only the Dragon Moonlight Sentinel in the fight.
After my pod had been recovered by Ryuku personel, I sent word to the Order for reinforcements. Unfortunately two of the fighters sent as reinforcements were destroyed as well before Moonlight Sentinel was able to destroy the last infected vessel.
In light of this incident I would like to request that Order scanner technology be made available to the Blood Dragons so that they can detect when their pilots are mounting suspicious equipment and bloodbaths like this one can be avoided in future.
I am also awaiting permission to appear before the Taishogun to make this report to the Blood Dragons. If my request for scanner technology is approved I can at least give the Dragons some good news along with the bad.

Today we had a terrible incident with unpredictable consequences in New York.
I was back from an interception mission in Omicron Delta (i haven't took the main part,
so it will be better to wait for a report made by another participant) and got a message about
an Order ship, that was closing to the Alaska jump hole fast and was several
times contacted without any respond on orders to not enter the Liberty space.
I moved to the jump hole as fast as possible and had a chance to scan his cargo bay.
I have to say, oh gosh, he was carrying an antimatter bomb. I don't really know
how powerful it was as it could be carried by a fighter, but seems it was enought to make a precious blow.
I had no idea, how to act, so I've contacted the other Order pilots in the Minor and jumped after him.
It was a long chase through Alaska and then through New York. He was ridiculously fast,
yes, too fast and good to be a human, i think. Later i have checked his remains and insured
that there was a Slomon K'Hara matter in the ship. Maybe it was one of the pilots lost in
the Omicrons for the last month - noone knows. His identification was corrupt, so i had no chance to prove that.
So, the pilot proceed to New York. I had no time to contact anyone in LSF or House Police,
my only idea was to stop him. As we ran into the Jersey Debris Field,
we spotted a LSF wing approximately 15-17K from Manhattan. The ship ran
into them and was destroyed. I think that wing came to intercept us, but they have done our work and gave us
some time to escape. The only thing we had to do was falling back to Alaska and then to Minor. Mission was acomplished.
Thanks to the Sergeant and Ensign Wahreit. We had no chance to do that without their help.
It's nearly impossible to imagine, how many people could be killed by just one man with a bomb.

Subject: Attempted antimatter bomb attack on Manhatten
Corporal Frederick, I gave you a direct order to NOT try and cover this up. Its headline news in Liberty for fracks sake...
Needless to say from that, the Corporal's report is not at all representative of the events last night. The attempted attack was perpetrated by Major Jeremy Hunter after he went more than a little bit insane.
After encountering LSF vessels along with a Liberty Navy battleship in Omicron Delta he seems to have snapped. Corporal Frederick and I arrived back from Chugoku originally to assist him in dealing with the LSF but as we mustered forces to intercept the Liberty fleet, Hunter contacted me in a very unstable condition threatening to carry out a significant terrorist atrocity in New York. Despite my orders to stand down and return to Minor he seemed intent on going through with his threat.
In light of this I got in contact with the LSF forces in Delta to warn them and offer our cooperation in avoiding such a tragedy. They accepted my offer and were allowed to pass back through Omicron Minor to Alaska where we persued Hunter all the way to Manhatten itself. Thankfully I was successful in disabling his engines before he could carry out the attack and eventually he came back to his senses.
We were not however successful in keeping the incident out of the pulic eye as Hunter broadcast his intentions on a system wide channel, causing a mass panic and forcing us to reveal our presence to many witnesses.
After Hunter had been subdued we were escorted back to Minor by LSF agents where I have had Hunter incarcerated in the Isis brig pending trial.
I have contacts working on retrieving evidence of the icident. (// I was F10ing frantically thoughout the whole thing but it seems I forgot to turn on Fraps...)
The story has been widely reported on Liberty media channels with the details of the Order involvement in stopping the attack conveniently left out.

More than a little bit? Dangit Chris, do you not lsiten?
I have a full medical report on the Major; This should answer some questions. As a good chunk of you know Jeremy, he would never do this in his right mind.
Medical Report:
Due to a imense amount of stress from the constant intrusions and the tragedy onbaord the LNS Providence, Hunter becam even more frantic no Liberty Military should attempt Nomad-Hunting. After the LNS-Tyrannical's heavy mortar struck the OCV-Ghost Eye, the risidual Radiation from the heavy mortar caused a chemical reaction that heightened the adrenaline, bringing out the primal insticnt to survive. This was the straw tha broke the camel's back, so to say. After barley escaping Omicron Delta, his mind finally cracked and he spent a few minutes tweaking his nuclear mines. After that, he launched hsi fighter and headed for New York.
Now, before this goes on, I checked over Jeremy and found his covert action skill, the part of his brain where he will stay quiet, was not shattered like the rest of his mind. An outside stimuli caused Jeremy to start broadcasting on systems. Now, if I may direct your attention to what happned.
I have a prelimenry report from Jeremy's AI, Namine. She says that Jeremy, after being reminded of his little sister, had no clue what so ever of where he was. upon seeing Manhattan, he became scared about what he might have done. He went immedetly cooperative, which I've deducted that his fear of his gape in memory truly scared him. He had said he would never do that, as two friend of his live on Manhattan.
To bring around to why I say "shattered mind." A few weeks ago, Jeremy was in a battle on the rooftops of Manhattan with a branwashed human named "Nathanial Valentine." In this battle, Valentine shattered Jeremy's mind using whateve the Nomads had given him. Falling ten stories, bouncing of a Rhino, with a huige gapping wound (//Cloud Strife's sword impaling Sora from Kingdom Hearts//) did not help. His mind was put back together, the "chains of memories" re-twined by his little ssister, his "world". Without Rika, I fear Jeremy's mind would never have recovered, and it would enver have recovered before he ahd commited such an atrocious act. Jeremy continually asked if he had hurt anyone, if anyone had been killed. Now, why would someone say that after atempting to blow up Manhattan?
That is my medical report. I had hoped Chris would do something else, like Frederick, but it seems his career in the Order is more important that his friends. Those without friends, only have enemies.
Thats my medical report. And Chris. Jeremy would have done the same for you. He actually wouldnt have sent in a report. He would have taken the court marshal for not saying anything.
If there is a bright side, at least now YOU are not being blamed for an attempted nuclear attack on Manhattan Chris. Or have you forgotten what =LSF=Excalibur accused you off?
Even after the darkest of nights, morning still comes.
Sender: Sergeant Chris Leigh, Primary Fleet Subject: Friendship and antimatter bombs
Let me get one thing clear here Dr. Carson, my career in the Order is not what I am concerned about here. I am far more concerned about the threat to MILLIONS of civilians that Hunter posed last night. Aside from the almost inconcievable damage he could have done on Manhatten, there is the damage he has done to the Order's reputation throughout Sirius to consider.
Whether or not Hunter is my friend is irrelivant in this matter as far as I am concerned.

I recieved word of a LNS Siege Cruiser ripping through Omicron Minor and heading straight towards Omicron 100. A massive alert was called and i raced to the scene where the Taneten intercepted the Cruiser. Me in my fighter opened fire hoping for the best. In the end the Cruiser came to its final voyage and was left as a relic in the void of space.

Lieutenant Golanski and his big report from yesterday are coming...
So let's proceed to what I prepared.
First, our intel messaged us about transport heading to Omicron Iota. Wing commanded by Erikson intercepted that before it was able to reach jump hole. Due to BHG in the area we splitted into two groups which second was assigned with me in command to babysit transport. Captain was really annoying at the beggining but he finally listen to our orders. Additional transport was protected by pilot who told us he is humanoidal blue tiger from Gaia, but no one from us believed that.
Then I get call from Eriksson to assist him. On the place was BHG gunship and destroyer under Avengers tag. During negotiations, BHG wanted Order to grant them free passage through Omicron Minor and Alaska we discovered that those mentioned Avengers are genocidal maniacs who want eliminate every single Corsair and Outcast. Their request was insane so with rest of the wing we escaped from meeting place and headed to Omicron Minor.
Later in Minor, Liberty siege cruiser named LNS-Providence entered Minor. After informing high command I ordered vessel to leave Omicron Minor or it will be destroyed. After my demand, cruiser jumped to Omicron-100, with available forces we followed it. Agent Azure was the closest and stopped cruiser between Omicron Minor jumphole and Evora Shipyard and waiting for backup, which came quick. With all available firepower cruiser sustained critical damage and due to chain reaction it was completely destroyed. No signs of survivors were found but in explosion some pods could managed to escape.

To the members of Primary Fleet, The Cincinnatius Group, The Order Protectors, and High Command,
I will first preface this message by stating that it is no intention on my part to be attempting to micromanage and direct our day to day activities. The purpose of my transmission however, is to ensure that we keep the security of our homes and the systems we have sworn to protect, secure.
As of late, we have been having a large influx of recruits and trainees joining our organization. While this is all well and good, I have seen some disparities amongst those who would seek to join us. Some seem to have wandered into our space, claiming to be friends, but not having posted anything on our neural net links about themselves, their previous employers, and their intentions. Some are not fixing their transponders in due time, leading to their flying of our vessels and usage of our equipment under the name of another following - photos are included below. Others seem to have either unofficially put in for the commission of various capital vessels, or hijacked ships from Evora for their own uses. While they may be aiding us on the surface, they have not been cleared security and competence wise to be using these vessels, and I feel we should be more careful about who we allow to lay claim to our shipwrights' hard work. Furthermore, I have proof of at least one pilot, VENONS, who was unresponsive, and had seen it his right to lay claim to FIVE Nomad Energy Cannons, a clear violation of the rules of our organization.
With so many individuals moving into our organization, I would also like to make the suggestion - as long as I am not overstepping my bounds - that we come up with a call sign/naming convention for our Secondary Fleet. While I realize they prefer to operate independently, it can be difficult to ensure that we know friend from foe, and if they are truly working for us, this should not be an issue, as their allegiance is already decided - making it known through public channels should make no difference to those they oppose. Infection has risen lately, and we can never be too sure who is on our side, and who is working for our enemies. If anyone has ideas, please put them out in the open so that we can debate over them - if High Command feels this is appropriate of course.
I would simply make the humble request that we do a 'house cleaning' exercise and ensure that we have an up to date list of those in the recruitment phase, those in our Primary Fleet, The Cincinnatius Group, The Order Protectors, and lastly our Secondary 'Independent' Fleet.
I made my run through the Omegas, Taus, and back through Tohoku and Omicron 92 as well, searching for Nomad influence or infection. I'm pleased to report that the scanners aboard my Spatial did not pick up anything abnormal, and I made sure to make a fairly thorough sweep of the unpopulated areas of the sectors.
Also to add, in the interest of furthering our research and development program, I dropped off 118 Nomad specimens and 1 Minor Nomad Brain to Cambridge Research Station. Atka is currently overworked, and Cambridge has the facilities to contain, monitor, and run experimentation on these specimens. I will stay in contact with them and am hoping for a full report in two to three weeks from them.
I will work to keep myself available via private communications in the coming days, as well as on our neural net links. Camera images posted below.
