Subject: Destroyed trade ship
To whom of right,
About an hour ago, Deputy Director Christian Deus at command of escort and I, Director David Copperfield, at command of the Halifax, were heading to Bretonia with a shipment of Boron acquired on Pittsburgh. Our intent was to bring back some high grade Ship hull panels for Grise Fjord Shipyards in Ellesmere.
First stage of the mission was completed without a problem. Then we took off from Planet Leeds with Ship Hull Panels. Flight went well until we've jumped to Magellan. There we were intercepted by 4 to 5 Hacker vessels. During evasive manoeuvres our trade ship was shot down by a Supernova hit. Hopefully I've been able to eject myself to a nearby allied station while Escort Deus was fighting off the remainder of the hacker pirate party. Eventually Deus made it to safe harbor and is currently repairing his vessel.
I believe it is a major concern that we should reinforce security in this system. Such a high presence of Hacker ships is unusual and dangerous for any trader passing by.

My patrol today started with long range scanners picking up a Rheinland operative in Texas by the name of [RM-V]GLtFelicia.Drum. As none of high command was available I made the choice to try and intercept whatever data they managed to obtain before they could get it back to Rheinland. The mission was unsuccessful as I was unable to locate the enemy spy or even determine what Intel had been recovered and that was when the mission took a turn for the worse.
Due to troop movements the only way of retreat was through Braunchweig to Bremen. Having an enemy spy move through their backyard obviously drew a large amount of attention and before I knew it there were 4 military pilots on my tail. Then using the New Hampshire jump hole I received support from =LSF=Beta and Battleship Concord. Their distraction allowed me to repair my ship and set about scanning their ships equipment. The stored results are incoming:
Afterwards the attending Battleships produced enough covering fire to see us safely into liberty. This data should help us equip our ships more efficiently when we know for certain that any of these pilots will be present. However Drum's ship managed to escape with unknown amounts of intelligence and transmit her data to Rheinland high command and frankly its an unknown variable we could do without.

The objective was to deliver a load of artifacts to Willard Station for further research. The artifact smuggler had been intercepted two days before, and transport vessel Halifax was assigned to transfer the material. Secretary Johny Leroy and agent Ashley Sunderland were assigned to escort the Halifax to the destination, while opertives Beta-1 and Sampi were dispatched to border station San Diego to make sure the security within the system.
Threat level was evaluated as "Moderate". The pathway to Willard had been abandonned for some time, and pirates didn't frequent the region, so the risks were low.
The convoy entered the field and proceeded to the first waypoint, the abandonned supply depot where it was intercepted by a wing of Order fighters. The report of agent Sunderland is enclosed.
Quote:[font=Franklin Gothic Medium][color=#FF0000]Opening file; Record begins...
Leroy and I were escorted the transport to the waypoint as planned, but then the attack hit. Four fighters emerged, the transport's engines got disrupted. I called for backup, relaying the message to San Diego. The backup consisting of two fighters and gunboat came right on time. Although the gunboat couldn't open fire because of the possibility of friendly fire, its presence was a bit relieving.
I don't know what exactly happened on Halifax, I was to busy trying to repell the attack, but from some transmissions I realised that something was wrong there too. At that moment I didn't pay much attention to it, I was doing what I had been assigned to do.
Although the fight was severe, we managed to make the attackers fall back. We expected another attack, so the had to speed up and move to the destination without the chance to investigate anything. Delivering the cargo was top priority.
We managed to get to Willard. The station's security was increased as battleship Zagam had been dispatched to Tahoe Ice Cloud. After that I landed on the station for the debriefing.

Once the transport reached Willard, the inspection began. We found out that one of the most crucial objects, the Nomad Power Cell, had been lost during the encounter. This is a separate case that falls under DIA's jurisdiction. Suffice to say, the recovery teams were sent to investigate the site of the encounter. Report enclosed.
Quote:Opening file; Record begins...
We were dispatched to the Barrera Passage in order to investigate the battlefield. No signs of Order escape pods were detected, they had probably managed to tractor them before withdrawing. Judging by the leftovers of the Order vessels, we came to conclusion that they were Nephthys-class.
We did not find the Power Cell, however some alien materials were recovered. Those might be the pieces of the broken cell, although the conclusion will be made by R&D.
...end of record; Closing file.
With that in mind, we believe that the Power Cell had been destroyed. However, it is up to DIA to investigate whether the transport captain was guilty. Also, it's up to R&D to will check whether the material brought by the recovery team truly is all what's left of the Power Cell.

Good day,
Sir I have some news for you. If you remember we were tracking down vessel named "Z", we still don`t know what his name really is but I think that we don`t need that part now. We know that he is smuggling Cardamine into Liberty space, we need to find his contacts at Liberty and arrest them for doing illegal job. The news are: we managed to track him and to destroy his ship, he didn`t want to stop and he tried to escape again... Cargo pods of his are destroyed as well. In today operation Amelia.Berry (AiT) showed us skills of disrupting engines of the suspect and she is value member of the team. Another (AiT) Ethan.Ryan showed ability to work in special conditions and with his help operation was covered well.
Mission information:
Smuggler tried to enter Liberty space via Kusari, agent Anna.Brown got the info about that and she manages to setup small team. LSF team puts a blockade in Colorado system and waits for the smuggler to show, Anna and Amelia were at Galileo jump gate and Ryan was at Kepler. Suspect is entering the Colorado system via Kepler jump gate were the agents are waited him... Suspect is making run, using the same gate to get back, Amelia manages to disrupt his engines and no other choice was left. Amelia and Anna blows his ship and they destroyed his cargo.

Mister Richard Keller,
In regards to the recent commission of your vessel, and congratulations to this, the Liberty Security Force command directorate hereby task you to deploy into the Omicron sector. More precisely, we require your ship to operate within sectors containing nomad activity or facilities. Our organization, in collaboration with our government and the Navy, seeks to know more on the current activity of Slomon K'Hara Civilization.
Mind you that for political reasons, potential objectives located outside Liberty, Rheinland, Omicrons and Independent space are currently not subject to your attention. Plus, we strongly advise against venturing in Outcast or Corsair controlled space. Too much money was poured into the construction of your vessel to make it worth the risk of capture.
We also insist to inform us on the risks and dangers associated with your encounters and discoveries. We do not want to gamble on the success and life of a strike force. In fact, we will not send strike forces against heavily defended, fortified or armoured targets unless they pose a direct and immediate risk to humanity. Your ship, alone, should not create the same spacial disturbance as a large group of ships would. Thus, we believe risks are more manageable for you and your crew to obtain sensible information and avoid detection.
On this, we wish you Godspeed, your ship is equipped with a direct link to this event report depository.
Mister David Copperfield

Firstly I'd like to say Salutations from the Oscar! As I'm sure you can see with the automated report everything is working perfectly first time which means we will be departing on time. Our first objective will be to arrive in the Tokelau Ice Cloud, Omicron Delta without being detected. From there we will plan the next step, which is to begin the grid sweep of Omicron Iota. AVIOS will send a status update every 24 hours, unless I add something to this log in which case the report will be sent immediately. So with that I will end the first log of the Oscar and begin the operation.

The ship has been in operation for almost 18 hours now and everything is still functioning normally. We did have one slip however, Evens accidentally fired the Countermeasure Dropper, so we're down a single flare. Other than that the ship has performed flawlessly. On our way to the Tokelau Ice Cloud we ran into some lesser Nomad Labraids and Sascyas but AVIOS quickly destroyed them and collected what was left.
AVIOS has also hacked the four weapon platforms surrounding the Omicron Minor Jump Hole and deleted our encounter with them. We also hacked the Zoner Satellite giving us the ability to detect ships in the system. Unfortunately it is not accurate enough to give us the vessel type or location.
We are now planning our jump into Omicron Iota and the grid pattern we will use. I believe a sweeping pattern across the system while slowly moving down will be best. This will slowly take us closer to the Omicron Delta Jump Hole, so if we need to get out of the system quickly, we can.
For now we will continue to configure AVIOS for the system sweep. As well as re-test all systems. This will take approximately 24 hours, so the next report will only contain the automated AVIOS report.

Subject: Situation Report
To whom of right,
Today, upon news of intruders within the Alaska System, I took command of the Mount.Iliamna to locate and destroy the intruders. With the help of Agent Anna Brown, we've located many intruders. Yet, due to many engine failures (//NPC Grrr Grrr), we were unable to catch these individuals. Among the intruders featured a Nomad infected capital ship named Oasis.Of.The.Sirius who destroyed the LNS Michigan during an inboard system shutdown (//afk), 1 OSS ship, 1 OCV, 2 Order|, 2 unaffiliated Order ships including the well known trespasser named SIX.
I am extremely worried about the Order's recent behaviour. First, they try to attack one of our convoys in the California system in the Barrera passage and now they decide, primary fleet included, to take their morning walks in our territory. We have exhausted all our patience with them, and I have thus tasked my members Seek and Destroy tasks against any Order vessel estimated to be a treat to the security and secrecy of our government. More clearly, tactical strikes within the Omicron Minor systems are now permitted in response to Order's total disregard of our borders.

Subject: Infiltration attempt
To whom of right,
Today, in reaction to the intruders we had in the Alaska system, me, along with O'Connor and Leroy jumped into our Greek named ships and set way-point for Omicron Minor. Upon arrival a the jump hole, we stumbled upon Navy warships discussing with an Order Osiris. The Navy ships were strongly opposed to us taking aggressive action against the Order. Thus, we decided to take an alternate route to reach the Omicron Minor system.
Due to my belief that we have a mole in the organization, I will not disclose all the information regarding the path we've taken. Nevertheless we ended passing through the Tohoku system. There, we were surprised to encounter nomad ships (see footage #1). After destroying them, we quickly left the system to Omicron-92 before being spotted by enemies. Alas, it seems that the nomad ships stalled us for too long. In the end, we were being chased by Nomad-infected pilots across the system featuring the nomad lair. By a uncontrolled chain of events and reaction, we were forced to jump to Omicron-100 instead of Omicron Minor.
Shortly after our intrusion, Order ships started to swarm the system in search for us. Probably alerted by the infected ships who were still on our six. In the span of a few minutes. We had four infected light fighters and very heavy fighters attacking our three bombers. Leroy and I were able to initiate our cruise engines to flee the scene. O'Connor however had his ship destroyed. Hopefully, his pod was tractored in by Leroy. We spent a long moment flying around the outskirts of the system waiting for the searching parties and the infected pilots to give us enough room to make an exit. During our manoeuvre, we found an Osiris wreck. However, we were unable to stop and perform a deep scan of the ship.
After approximately what seemed for hours, we made a successful attempt at jumping back to Omicron-92. With the help of =LSF=Stigma and Amelia Berry creating diversions around the minor Jump Hole. We quickly tiptoed our way to the Delta jumphole. The Order ships guarding the Delta hole seemed too surprised to see us and were quickly out of sight when we warmed up our cruise engine in the Delta system. From there we've set course for Kappa, docking on Planet Gammu. The radiation present on the planet surely must help to cover our tracks. We may plan to set strikes against Order targets in the near days.

The Oscar has received the transmissions concerning the recent events regarding the Order. May I suggest that the Oscar postpone its sweep of Omicron Iota and instead focus of gathering data to assist in strikes against the Order. This may also be safer for the Oscar due to the likelihood of working with other vessels. However, if command deems this inappropriate, the Oscar will continue with its current objective.
