We had yet another interesting incident at Rochester today. This time it was a Raba transport flying the colors of the Farmers Alliance. He bragged that he was there to harvest Junkers as agricultural subjects. Van Pelt and I pursued this vessel all the way to Yukon when we discovered they were carrying 19 Junkers in their hold. We eventually caught up to them at the Freeport in Yukon and they released the Junkers to us. They also made an interesting claim about why they came so far to kidnap Junkers. See their story here. I'm not sure if this is true or not. I'm sending Van Pelt up to Kusari with a few lads of his choice to see what he can find out about this. If they can't learn the truth by poking around, they'll bring home a few prisoners. I'm sure we'll get the truth out of them eventually.

Aye Arbiter.
We seen that rotter 'round Rochy afore, we did.
Stuck a ball of Supernova white lightning in his side, watched all th' atmo boil out.
Th' daft bugger come back?
He'll rue tha' decision.
RUE, I tell you!
Wake out

I've just came from rescuing Titus Pullo from an attack that happened at Rochester,
one vessel attacked a LH while docking with supplies, Pullo lent a hand, at which point
another ship assisted the pirate in attacking Pullo, the two pirates are Avazaki & Jaina.Zajmovick,
Pullo lured the pirates away from Rochester giving time for the LH to dock with Rochester,
If it hadnt been for Junker Hillbilly with his skill i dont think old Pullo would have made it.
I think these two pirate vessels were Kusarian, also one was carrying corsair tech on board!

We're having some trouble with a boy named Pharo showing up at Rochester to kidnap Junker pilots. He runs when confronted by our patrols but then attacks rookie fighter pilots. Not much in the way of skills. See this bounty for more information. The Junker Congress will cover the full expense of this bounty so you know the money is good.

Greetings fellow congressman. Firstly, I'd like to say that yes, the bounty on Pharo is still open, and will remain as such until he either jumps through hoops and makes up for his ways, or finally dies. If anyone is against making an example out of this vigilante, by all means speak your peace.
Onto other liberty related news. Three events I'd like to mention, starting with the most amusing. While flying through New York on my Roc, I encountered a rather rude pirate on the lanes. Nothing violent, but he irked me, and seeing an LNS bomber pilot after I had left the pirate's sight, I decided to try and make a quick buck. Now, the navy fella wasn't too bright, but I managed to swindle 100,000 credits from in, in return for giving up the pirate's position. And they say we don't help the navy boys....His being unable to comprehend my saying "Hey, there's a pirate on that lane, right there" is irrelevant to the matter, aye? +++
The second was a rather brief encounter with [LN]-Jack.Turner and his recruit "Skynet". Having jumped from Alberta, this "Skynet" opened fire on my vessel without a word. He ceased once I myself returned with a fair bit of plasma into his shields. All this in the presence of said LN officer. When I questioned Mr. Turner about the private's actions, his response was, and I quote, "That's what happends when you talk to much on radio channels". I found this odd for several reasons, the first being I had literally no time to chat before coming under fire. The second that an officer of the Liberty Navy suggesting that Liberty was in fact, military controlled Rheinland, where talking can get you killed by law. I'm a bit too preoccupied to take this up with their higher ups, but attach the evidence should one of you be sufficiently outraged. ++
The third and final event was a rather prolonged discussion with the LPI officer Kelly.Shore, and =LSF=Kalan.Yamato. It appears that our line of transports, the XK243 Trains are flagged as illegal vessels in Liberty. Despite having scoured their Laws, I see no indication of this. Perhaps one of us could have words in a less hostile environment with them. I tried, but having several bomber and gunship weapons aimed at one's face isn't the best time to talk technology and law.
Anyhow, deliveries to make and all. Till next time.

Effective immediately our so called alliance with the harvesters is over. You are not to aid them when attacked and you are not to allow any of them to land on a Junker base.
