Clark Here,
Flew out on patrol with Captain Hurst. Over all it was pretty damn quiet. over all we encountered only a handful of ships, mostly freighters in the outskirt systems of Liberty. One Camara type freighter we discovered carrying Counterfeit Software. it was asked more than enough time to halt, but it decided to run and maintain radio silence. We promptly took it out after the eighth or so warning and the 30th odd Cruise Disruptor we took it out and destroyed the cargo. That happened in Ontario. a while later when we did a brief stint in Yukon and we encountered a AI fighter. it had a few Xeno saps in its hold. it transferred the pods to us. on the way back and when we returned to Ontario we encountered 2 freighters, both clear on contraband. we went through the core systems. all clear. That's about it. Also there seems to be some debris in the minefield in Virginia in the nebula, so to avoid the debris setting off more mines i recommend that it be cleaned up and transferred to the Arleigh Burke. I am now transferring gun cam footage to a isolated file drop box.

We love visitors, we really do. Especially our beloved Outcasts in their oversized Battleships. It makes us even happier when they camp the Manhattan area.
Such visitors just scream for the explosive welcome present. A present we gladly delivered, I hope they had their fun, and if not, well, I don't care, I had my fun.

Topic: David Lennox.
Today during the interrogation in the Liberty Visa Office, the man claiming to be the brother of an Order Agent known under the name Johan Lennox had escaped arrest, causing minor injures to three security officers. We assume him to be the associate of the Order operating in Liberty space under Zoner identification.
His last known location - Glendale, Planet Los Angeles.
His visual:
He should be either arrested or shot. I guess it's all about no exceptions. Former is preferable.

Topic: Intruders in Ellesmere.
Today at 191013 a "Geb" Light Assault Carrier was spotted jumping to Ellesmere space. Aleesha Cooper and some nameless Liberty Security Force pilots (how original) had pinned it up for enough time to let LNS Cape Knox arrive and deal the critical damage to the said Assault Carrier. Giga Mega Sooper Dooper Guardian suffered no damage.

Today I and Lieutenant Cooper had the pleasure to meet some Lane Hackers in the California system. At first it was a lone Bayonet, the pilot wasn't friendly at all, if I may add. He was talking some crap about being a cat with having seven lives, well, he was annoying, he really was. We began to shoot him and of course there was a second Hacker joining him after one or two minutes. That one was flying a Sabre, not that it really matters anway...
Normally it wouldn't have been a big issue, but Lieutenant Cooper wasn't paying attention for a moment and was hit by a nuke, which destroyed her Guardian, but I was able to rescue her escape pod. I had to deal with the two Hackers on my own, it wasn't an easy task for me, but I managed to destroy both of them.
[color=#CCCCCC]Fairly light action last night. Linked up with Capt Baker and Rct Stormlight in West Point space and headed out for a shakedown patrol. Received notification of an unknown vessel entering Zone-21, and we moved to intercept. The trespasser was ID’d as Jim.Boo.Jenkees, a Gallic ship of some sort. Couldn't say for certain, I haven't seen one before. Whatever it was, he knew how to fly it.
Capt Baker hit a localized ion storm and must've drifted into something. Full credit to the Recruit. Stormlight dodged the shrapnel and kept firing while I pulled the Captain in. Didn't hold up indefinitely though, and his Executioner bought it not look after. I stayed in the fight until Sub-Lieutenant Sanders arrived and ordered me out of it.
A 41st Gunboat turned up quick-smart and scared the bogey off. I broke off in pursuit, but lost contact in the Badlands. Captain Baker was deposited back on the Missouri and Rct. Stormlight and I hauled back to Virginia for training. I'll submit a full report on training progress once it's complete.
Moving back out, we intercepted an A.I Cruiser, PirateHunter hanging around in Manhattan Orbit. He claimed to be in Liberty to shift to one of our Siege Cruisers. Not quite sure how he's planning to do that, but it was compliant and we escorted the bogey to Norfolk shipyard for analysis.
Continued the patrol to Colorado and picked up multiple Xeno ships on scanners near Pueblo. They announced intentions to raid the station over wide-spectrum communications, so I radioed for assistance and Stormlight and I took up defensive positions. Flt.Adm Hale and Lt. Clark responded to the call, and ran patrols with us. Hostiles failed to appear, likely the whole situation was just a ruse.
We followed reports of the Xenos to Alberta and intercepted a Hacker gunboat leaving Yukon. The Hacker didn't press the situation, made the smart move and turned for home.

[color=#CCCCCC]Hope that the transfer to Basic didn't tire you too much, there's still a hell of a lot to do. Files say you've been assigned an Executioner, so if that hasn't happened yet let us know.
Once you've got the basic spaceframe in action, pass on word and I'll get you properly kitted, if it hasn't happened already. Just because you're flying our training fighter isn't an excuse to fly it without your basic systems or armor installed. Might as well assign you a cardboard box for all that good that'd do for combat experience.
I know you're already kitted Stormlight, so that's not an issue. There's training to continue at your earliest convenience. Report to Richmond Station ASAP and we'll move on to more advanced maneuvers. In the meantime, watch out for mines.

I'll be brief.
[color=#CCCCCC]Headed out on patrol in New York and was hailed by an unknown ship, Jan_Marten. He claimed he had a captured Gallic Royal Navy pilot in his hold. We RV'd over Manhattan and I took possession of the pod. Scans confirmed life signs in the unit. Shortly after the exchange, there was a strange transmission from the ship, heavy Rheinish accent. Sensors detected an electrical surge from the escape pod and I jettisoned it. A few seconds later, it exploded. Minimal damage to my Guardian. No signs of life from the pod. The most likely outcome I can guess is that he kept the pilot in there to add to the deception.
Bastard killed an unarmed POW and tried to kill me too.
TACOM linked me in to pursuit in Colorado and an Ageria pilot confirmed the ship had just docked at Planet Denver. I sent an alert to the local forces, but he'd already refueled. Lieutenant Clark saw fit to join me at this point, and he intercepted the Marten half-way along the lane to the Galileo gate.
The Lieutenant found my evidence to be inadequate and allowed the ship to pass to Kusari space. After it killed a civilian and nearly killed me.
You know he's not coming back, don't you, Sir?
Hope your evidence helps now. That ship'll be flying under a different transponder by morning.
Clark Here,
Hartman. this is about the outbursts made in your previous patrol and report. I understand the stress of the job and ive been shot at, almost blown up, tazed, prodded, poked, stabbed (almost), tazed again, gased etc. you lost your cool, in front of a now proven hostile. but at the time your rants we're only slightly full of rage. They are suspicious until proven guilty not guilty until proven shot. the outbursts then going AWOL. I am chocking this one up to stress. but be careful. control your emotions. at least in public. for the sake of the public we must at least appear cool, calm and collected. In the meantime take a few days off from flight duty.
In light of my absences from flight duty in space, a recent ION storm managed to penetrate and hit Norfolk's Docking bay 6 where both my fighter and Gunboat were located. No one was in the area when the incident hit but both ships suffered serious electrical damage to their systems. I am unable to fly until both ships are repaired, which is why I request either a temporary absence of leave or a transfer to a desk/office job until the fix could be completed.
