Officer Name: Paul Morgan Standard Date: 824-05-15
Greetings,
Recruit officer Paul Morgan reporting patrol in New York. Today's one was tough. Right after exiting Manhattan docking ring I got three red contacts: 2 Outcast dreadnoughts with smartly paired callsigns Smith and Wesson, and Waran bomber piloted by a member of known terrorist organization The Commune, callsign Assassin-3. Enemy was under heavy fire from Liberty forces, but hold their positions.
It seems that in the course of the fight Outcasts managed to capture a number of Liberty law enforcement personnel. They started to threaten to execute them unless a ransom is paid. Details are in the attached communication logs and guncam shots.
Me and Navy pilot Wingman Shadix, also flying light Liberty fighter, were at the scene but unable to turn the tide of the battle. I reported the situation on the LPI emergency frequencies for New York system and set off to intercept and redirect civilian traffic away from Manhattan. Navy pilot stayed to maintain scanner contact with the enemy and track their location.
I took route from Manhattan to West Point, then Norfolk Shipyard and Fort Bush. Upon arrival to Fort Bush, Wingman Shadik informed me that Outcasts changed their position and headed towards Jersey Debris Field. I suggested that they plan to seek shelter with Junkers at Rochester, and proceeded to the station.
It turned out that my assumption was correct. However, at that point Assassin-3 broken formation with the capital ships and assaulted me. In short combat my Liberator was outgunned and severely damaged. Navy pilot picked up my escape pod.
Although most of the guncam footage was damaged along with my craft, I recovered one shot that serves as evidence that suggests that Outcasts are using Rochester as a base for their operations in New York.

[19.05.2017 06:59:21] Smith: The numbers increase as we speak.

[19.05.2017 06:59:47] LPI-Paul.Morgan[RO]: I have no doubts about that.
[19.05.2017 07:00:12] LPI-Paul.Morgan[RO]: There was just one LN cap, he decided not to take the risk.
[19.05.2017 07:00:23] Wingman_Shadix: Most of our big guns are off duty these hours. So our hands are tied.
[19.05.2017 07:00:47] LPI-Paul.Morgan[RO]: All we can do is try to divert civilian traffic.
[19.05.2017 07:01:15] LPI-Paul.Morgan[RO]: Somone needs to keep an eye on those guys though.
[19.05.2017 07:01:16] Wingman_Shadix: I suppose, but I think they're mainly preying on our men.
[19.05.2017 07:01:25] Wingman_Shadix: I'll keep watch.
[19.05.2017 07:02:46] LPI-Paul.Morgan[RO]: Attention New York system. Hostile ships spotted in vicinity of Planet Manhattan. Reroute to avoid that spot.

[19.05.2017 07:05:52] LPI-Paul.Morgan[RO]: Do you still have contact with the departed one?
[19.05.2017 07:06:04] Wingman_Shadix: I've lost contact. Should I tail them?
[19.05.2017 07:06:09] LPI-Paul.Morgan[RO]: Or is it off your scanner?
[19.05.2017 07:06:21] Wingman_Shadix: Been off scanners for about a minute now
