COMM ID: Vice Admiral Remus Sius, Reserve First Fleet
TARGET ID: Liberty Naval Primary Fleet Reporting Centre
SUBJECT: A few reports
ENCRYPTION: HIGH
PRIORITY: HIGH
Greetings all,
Two days ago, I met up with Lieutenant James Arland to conduct a standard patrol. Our first destination was the system of Colorado. No particular incidents occured. We then made our way to California via Ontario, were in the infamous "Pirate's Lane" where we encountered a few Outcasts.
Lieutenant Arland managed to down one of them as shown here: [X]
I was able to take down a Outcast Gunship with the help of Commander Mark Webb onboard the Dauntless: [X]
After which, a Rogue named Dan.Harper showed up to engage Lieutenant Arland. During which, 3 Hellfire ships jumped in from the New York system. The Rogue managed to destroy the Lieutenant's ship but I was able to get his pod. A Legionnaire ordered his subordinate to engage the Rogue. After the Rogue was dispensed with, the Hellfire ships proceeded to attack me and Commander Webb. The MacArthur took several hits but we were able to fend off their attack, we shortly withdrew afterwards. There seems to be a noticeable increase in the engagements with the Hellfire Legionnaires these past few days.
The next day, I was assigned to an advisory role to a delivery to our Bundschuh allies. Commander Keller onboard the Seawolf took operational command of the convoy. The delivery went without delay save for an attempted interception by a lone Rheinland pilot. This was thwarted by our allies.
While we were on our way out, Commander Ellington in the Normandie suddenly appeared with a fleet: [X]
Apparently, she got wind of the operation decided to escort us out of Bremen. Lieutenant James Arland was also with Commander Ellington. A friendly Navy patrol passed by as well decided to attach themselves to the Commander's fleet. Her fleet then blasted through a Rheinland blockade near the Bremen Jump Hole in New Hampshire. With the window open, we decided to make haste and proceeded to pass through the hole they created. Commander Ellington ordered Lieutenant Arland to return with us. Approximately 1 hour later, we made back home safely.
Full ship logs of the encounter is as follows:

[14.06.2015 22:18:11] [LN]-ESRD|-Seawolf: We may have some additional ships on their way.
[14.06.2015 22:18:24] VWA|Nika.Haupt: Additional? Of what kind?
[14.06.2015 22:18:25] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: Understood. Hopefully it doesn't draw... ~too much attention.
[14.06.2015 22:18:37] [LN]-ESRD|-Seawolf: Keller: Well if anyone sees it it will.
[14.06.2015 22:18:52] VWA|Nika.Haupt: Welcome to Cloppenburg.
[14.06.2015 22:19:09] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: Cloppenburg was the original inhabitant of Bremen, actually.
[14.06.2015 22:19:27] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: Mooring to deliver the parcel.
[14.06.2015 22:20:04] [LN]-ESRD|-Seawolf: Keller: Herr Klugmann, I have a request.
[14.06.2015 22:20:08] [LN]-Remus.Sius: Vice Admiral Remus Sius, Reserve Fleet. *salutes*
[14.06.2015 22:27:15] [LN]-Remus.Sius: I'm here for Advisory purposes on the delivery... Commander Keller has overall command.
[14.06.2015 22:20:09] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: Go ahead.
[14.06.2015 22:20:15] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: Detaching.
[14.06.2015 22:20:41] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: I apologize for the non-Widerstandsarmee... I can't quite call them off.
[14.06.2015 22:20:47] [LN]-ESRD|-Seawolf: Keller: The ESRD would like to base this ship off of your bases, if that is acceptable.
[14.06.2015 22:20:55] VWA|Nika.Haupt: Damn scrubs.
[14.06.2015 22:20:55] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: Delivery sucessful.
[14.06.2015 22:20:58] [LN]-Remus.Sius: It's alright... they don't recognize the Reserve Fleet IFF.
[14.06.2015 22:21:13] VWA|Nika.Haupt: Base off from here?
[14.06.2015 22:21:16] VWA|Nika.Haupt: To what avail?
[14.06.2015 22:21:22] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: Basing... That gunboat? I'm presuming you were planning to operate within Bremen from here?
[14.06.2015 22:21:38] [LN]-ESRD|-Seawolf: Keller: Bremen, possibly Hamburg or New Berlin.
[14.06.2015 22:21:47] VWA|Nika.Haupt: Huh.
[14.06.2015 22:21:50] VWA|Nika.Haupt: Problem is...
[14.06.2015 22:21:55] [LN]-ESRD|-Seawolf: Keller: We've been assigned to perform deep recon missions.
[14.06.2015 22:22:17] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: Moving to form on our wing.
[14.06.2015 22:22:26] VWA|Nika.Haupt: You could draw the attention of the military, if you're not careful. And military attention here... Well, I guess it depends on
[14.06.2015 22:22:29] VWA|Nika.Haupt: the Oberst.
[14.06.2015 22:22:34] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: Well, I'd... Tentatively accept it, with a few concessions.
[14.06.2015 22:22:45] [LN]-ESRD|-Seawolf: Keller: By all means.
[14.06.2015 22:22:54] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: The first being that under no circumstances do the Navymen enter the Luneburg hole adjacent.
[14.06.2015 22:22:57] VWA|Nika.Haupt: Contactt.
[14.06.2015 22:23:04] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: It's the wing.
[14.06.2015 22:23:05] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: We - You weren't kidding about more of you.
[14.06.2015 22:23:07] VWA|Nika.Haupt: Looks like another libertonian. Moving to intercept.
[14.06.2015 22:23:19] [LN]-James.Arland: Hold your fire, hold your fire.
[14.06.2015 22:23:25] [LN]-ESRD|-Seawolf: Keller: We wouldn't intrude on your space.
[14.06.2015 22:23:32] VWA|Nika.Haupt: Not firing, no worries.
[14.06.2015 22:23:41] [LN]-Remus.Sius: Lieutenant...
[14.06.2015 22:23:50] [LN]-Remus.Sius: *nods*
[14.06.2015 22:23:54] [LN]-James.Arland: Admiral.
[14.06.2015 22:24:13] [LN]-ESRD|-Seawolf: Keller: Of course, as I said, we'd mostly be operating here, or in Hamburg.
[14.06.2015 22:24:17] VWA|Nika.Haupt: Whoa. That's a large tub.
[14.06.2015 22:24:26] VWA|Nika.Haupt: Oberst, we got a capital.
[14.06.2015 22:24:53] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: Then I suppose I can permit it so long as you aren't seen entering or leaving by the Military.
[14.06.2015 22:24:56] [LN]-James.Arland: Evening, Bundschuh. I'd introduce myself, but I believe there are people more qualified to speak for us here.
[14.06.2015 22:25:04] [LN]-ESRD|-Seawolf: Keller: Of course.
[14.06.2015 22:25:09] [LN]-Remus.Sius: *coughs* I wasn't expecting...
[14.06.2015 22:25:21] VWA|Nika.Haupt: *nods* it's fine. Mind explaining the presence of your... Capital?
[14.06.2015 22:25:24] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: That's... Alright, Herr Arland, but there's quite a few of you.
[14.06.2015 22:25:32] [LN]-LNS-Normandie: Greetings, VWA.
[14.06.2015 22:25:34] [LN]-James.Arland: So there it is, not my call.
[14.06.2015 22:25:51] LNS-Nimitz: *Remains silent*
[14.06.2015 22:25:53] [LN]-Remus.Sius: Who's onboard the Normandie?
[14.06.2015 22:25:54] VWA|Nika.Haupt: Um... Both... Oberst... That's... A Battleship.
[14.06.2015 22:26:02] [LN]-James.Arland: I believe the Normandie at least can speak for itself.
[14.06.2015 22:26:38] [LN]-LNS-Normandie: Commander Ellington here, forgive us for this intrusion, we heard some of our men were operating in the area and we were close-by.
[14.06.2015 22:26:49] VWA|Nika.Haupt: Uh-huh.
[14.06.2015 22:26:50] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: Who's leading your detachment, then? And - What kind of ship is -
[14.06.2015 22:26:58] [LN]-LNS-Normandie: Princess Alice DeFrance sends her regards.
[14.06.2015 22:26:59] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: *coughs*
[14.06.2015 22:27:11] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: - That.
[14.06.2015 22:27:21] [LN]-James.Arland: Yeah, kind of a major diplomatic package on board, just so you know.
[14.06.2015 22:27:34] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: ~The DeFrance? I thought you were at war with -
[14.06.2015 22:27:41] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: We are.
[14.06.2015 22:27:45] VWA|Nika.Haupt: Battleship diplomacy... *mumbling*
[14.06.2015 22:27:52] [LN]-Remus.Sius: Commander, did you expect this?
[14.06.2015 22:28:12] [LN]-LNS-Normandie: She would explain in person, shall the area be not that dangerous.
[14.06.2015 22:28:34] [LN]-ESRD|-Seawolf: Keller: Not entirely, I was simply told there would be some other ships in the area.
[14.06.2015 22:28:58] VWA|Nika.Haupt: Uh-hu.
[14.06.2015 22:29:05] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: I - I see. Inform her, then, that I invite a Neural Net channel for the explanation.
[14.06.2015 22:29:24] [LN]-LNS-Normandie: Very well, I will let the Princess know.
[14.06.2015 22:29:36] [LN]-LNS-Normandie: Send the message to my office.
[14.06.2015 22:29:39] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: Please forgive me for reacting in surprise, of course; the only Gallians we see around here are uncommon corporate transports.
[14.06.2015 22:29:56] [LN]-LNS-Normandie: I will redirect the channel to Princess Alice.
[14.06.2015 22:30:07] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: Inform her that I look foreward to it, thank you.
[14.06.2015 22:31:03] [LN]-James.Arland: And here I thought Umbra would be strange. Guess I was wrong.
[14.06.2015 22:31:32] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: Well! Thank you for your deliveries. I'd like to, ehm. ~Update you on a few matters.
[14.06.2015 22:31:41] [LN]-LNS-Normandie: Lakewood, I assume you don't need an additional escort on the way back.
[14.06.2015 22:31:41] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: Hmm?
[14.06.2015 22:32:00] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: No sir, I won't need your vessel.
[14.06.2015 22:32:01] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: Do you have a contingency plan in mind for that Hudson Jump Gate?
[14.06.2015 22:32:17] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: Oh the Hudson gate? I guess you heard the news.
[14.06.2015 22:32:19] [LN]-LNS-Normandie: The situation is being discussed.
[14.06.2015 22:32:41] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: I have. I actually attempted to send a message out to anyone who would listen in the entire sector regarding it.
[14.06.2015 22:32:44] [LN]-LNS-Normandie: It is unfortunately out of the reach of the Navy.
[14.06.2015 22:32:57] [LN]-Remus.Sius: For the moment, we're focused on blunting the Gallics advance at Leeds.
[14.06.2015 22:33:11] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: I can't really talk for the Logistics Corp.
[14.06.2015 22:33:26] [LN]-LNS-Normandie: Arland, you're assigned to Lakewood.
[14.06.2015 22:33:32] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: Of course; I understand the waning front here on your end. All the more reason your supplies are doubly appreciated.
[14.06.2015 22:33:34] [LN]-James.Arland: Acknowledged.
[14.06.2015 22:33:39] [LN]-LNS-Normandie: Nimitz and Normandie will return to Hampshire.
[14.06.2015 22:33:48] [LN]-Remus.Sius: With the destruction of the Oubli, there's a high probability that we're going to mount a planetary assault.
[14.06.2015 22:33:50] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: We'd like to offer a warning regarding the Unioners; a particular cell has been hounding us relentlessly.
[14.06.2015 22:34:08] VWA|Nika.Haupt: They're pests, and dangerous ones at that.
[14.06.2015 22:34:18] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: We know that the seat of their power is focused in the formerly-rich trade route between here and Rheinland.
[14.06.2015 22:34:27] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: Unioners...?
[14.06.2015 22:34:50] [LN]-Remus.Sius: Contact...
[14.06.2015 22:34:51] LNS-Nimitz: Unioners? What exactly are they?
[14.06.2015 22:34:53] [LN]-Remus.Sius: Friendly.
[14.06.2015 22:34:53] [LN]-ESRD|-Seawolf: Keller: They're like Rogues, but in Rheinland.
[14.06.2015 22:34:56] LNS-Sol: Hey, What's Going on here?
[14.06.2015 22:35:05] VWA|Nika.Haupt: Good summary, Keller.
[14.06.2015 22:35:05] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: Ah, I just *coughs* pull them up. Looks like they are outlaws.
[14.06.2015 22:35:35] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: They're essentially your "Rogues"; only focused on perpetuating their profit by any means necessary.
[14.06.2015 22:35:39] [LN]-ESRD|-Seawolf: Keller: Just a meeting with our allies.
[14.06.2015 22:35:48] LNS-Sol: Oh Ok
[14.06.2015 22:35:57] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: In fact, we believe they have some sort of trade agreement with your Rogues regarding Artifacts.
[14.06.2015 22:36:23] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: Oh?
[14.06.2015 22:36:27] LNS-Nimitz: I'm almost sure I saw one of them in Texas two days ago.
[14.06.2015 22:36:36] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: I hadn't heard about that.
[14.06.2015 22:36:38] [LN]-Remus.Sius: Surprised they haven't got into the business of Cardamine...
[14.06.2015 22:36:40] [LN]-James.Arland: Interesting. Not that it's my place to surmise, but their revenues could be hurt pretty bad if that was stamped on.
[14.06.2015 22:36:44] [LN]-LNS-Normandie: This is something we should look into.
[14.06.2015 22:36:56] [LN]-LNS-Normandie: It's beyond what the Police can deal with.
[14.06.2015 22:37:02] LNS-Nimitz: Is it?
[14.06.2015 22:37:03] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: We /welcome/ your stamping on them. They've been assaulting us repetitively as of late.
[14.06.2015 22:37:05] VWA|Nika.Haupt: Not trying to be offending, sirs...
[14.06.2015 22:37:09] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: We already have enough to worry about from the Federals.
[14.06.2015 22:37:20] VWA|Nika.Haupt: But shouldn't those capitals be located... You know... At the front?
[14.06.2015 22:37:58] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: And yes, this... Sounds wise. No offense.
[14.06.2015 22:37:59] [LN]-James.Arland: I do believe the Normandie is... something of a special case. Can't speak for these secondaries.
[14.06.2015 22:38:00] [LN]-LNS-Normandie: Bremen is still considered as an active warzone, just like New Hampshire.
[14.06.2015 22:38:09] LNS-Sol: Hmm, I would love to help out anyone who Opposes The Rheinland
[14.06.2015 22:38:19] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: Command is very odd with patrol assignments.
[14.06.2015 22:38:28] [LN]-Remus.Sius: They must've been sent out to investigate.
[14.06.2015 22:38:33] [LN]-LNS-Normandie: However such an amount of capitals is bound to cause trouble, we're going to pull back.
[14.06.2015 22:38:34] [LN]-ESRD|-Seawolf: Keller: We still have some units this far out, which is what we use our lighter cruisers for.
[14.06.2015 22:38:36] VWA|Nika.Haupt: Well... You know, they're making us a bit uneasy. Even if they're not threatening.
[14.06.2015 22:38:46] LNS-Nimitz: Pulling back on your command
[14.06.2015 22:38:48] VWA|Nika.Haupt: Energy signatures... Engine trails...
[14.06.2015 22:38:49] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: Thank you, highly appreciated.
[14.06.2015 22:39:03] [LN]-ESRD|-Seawolf: Keller: Sol, accompany the Nimitz out, please.
[14.06.2015 22:39:12] LNS-Sol: Ok
[14.06.2015 22:39:20] [LN]-Remus.Sius: Well Captain of the Sol... you see that everything's fine here... tell your commander that there's nothing to worry about.
[14.06.2015 22:39:31] [LN]-LNS-Normandie: All capitals to New Hampshire.
[14.06.2015 22:39:32] LNS-Sol: Ok Sir
[14.06.2015 22:39:38] [LN]-James.Arland: Well, Lakewood, I've been assigned to your command. I'll follow your lead.
[14.06.2015 22:39:39] LNS-Nimitz: Understoond
[14.06.2015 22:39:43] LNS-Nimitz: Engaging cruise
[14.06.2015 22:39:50] [LN]-LNS-Normandie: Arland, you're on your own now.
[14.06.2015 22:39:52] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: We can see you out of Bremen and Hamburg, if desired.
[14.06.2015 22:39:57] LNS-Sol: Following Nimitz
[14.06.2015 22:40:08] [LN]-James.Arland: Very well.
[14.06.2015 22:40:16] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: Actually I have a request of information, seeing as you mentioned that gate.
[14.06.2015 22:40:38] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: I'll return in one moment.
[14.06.2015 22:41:39] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: These papers should grant you clearance.
[14.06.2015 22:41:45] [LN]-ESRD|-Seawolf: Keller: Appreciated.
[14.06.2015 22:41:02] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: Is Rheinland doing anything about it? Have they figured anything out about it?
[14.06.2015 22:42:18] VWA|Nika.Haupt: *is awkwardly silent*
[14.06.2015 22:42:21] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: I... I guess that means no. Excuse me *coughs*.
[14.06.2015 22:42:28] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: Now where was I; The Gate?
[14.06.2015 22:42:42] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: Oh, I uh. Yes.
[14.06.2015 22:42:50] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: We aren't certain regarding what Rheinland intends. No official statements from the Bundestag have been made.
[14.06.2015 22:42:56] [LN]-Remus.Sius: Lieutenant we'll accompany the Lakewood back home.
[14.06.2015 22:43:04] [LN]-ESRD|-Seawolf: Keller: Stay with the Lakewood, Arland.
[14.06.2015 22:43:07] [LN]-James.Arland: Yeah, acknowledged.
[14.06.2015 22:43:16] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: That's quite sad.
[14.06.2015 22:43:29] [LN]-Remus.Sius: As expected.
[14.06.2015 22:43:38] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: I personally doubt it cares. Munich's already shrouded in Dark Matter and nothing has become of that.
[14.06.2015 22:43:42] [LN]-Remus.Sius: They're obviously busy with internal affairs.
[14.06.2015 22:43:51] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: If you get contact with them doing anything with it, can you send us a report of it?
[14.06.2015 22:43:58] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: I can.
[14.06.2015 22:43:59] [LN]-LNS-Normandie: Wraith headed your way
[14.06.2015 22:44:05] VWA|Erich.Klugmann: We'll attempt to run occasional patrols to the region.
[14.06.2015 22:44:22] [LN]-James.Arland: The war's put a lot of pressure on Rheinland, I think. First Hamburg, now the current situation.
[14.06.2015 22:44:23] [LN]-Remus.Sius: I have reports of the Military wing headed our way...
[14.06.2015 22:44:26] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: Good show, thank you.
[14.06.2015 22:44:29] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: Oh?
[14.06.2015 22:44:30] [LN]-Remus.Sius: *a Military
[14.06.2015 22:44:36] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: We should leave then.
[14.06.2015 22:44:38] [LN]-Remus.Sius: I think we have to move.
[14.06.2015 22:44:47] [LN]-James.Arland: Let's roll then.
[14.06.2015 22:44:51] [LN]-LLS-Lakewood: We will be leaving.
[14.06.2015 22:44:54] [LN]-Remus.Sius: Farewell... dear allies.
