Greetings Command,
These past two days were met with heavy combat within Liberty. Almost a turkey shoot sometimes, another as hell has descended to take our number. After being solarized by a couple of Rogue gunboats near Manhattan, I managed to get the L-117 for a spin and I linked up with a :404 Operative, Susan Ward. Not long, a Rogue Gunboat, handler /_\-Tattered.Flag, appeared and tried to score a kill on a secondary fleet fighter. So we didn't took long to take the fight to it. As the lone bomber in the engagement, I managed to score some heavy hits, but it was Operative Ward with a razor to the control room that managed to take it down. Later on, intel arrived that two Rogues were making a fuss near the Texas Gate lane. With operative Ward, we moved to the site, and found as intel stated, two rogues sitting nearby the lane, obviously looking for an easy mark. Handlers, Tumbleweed and Zed.Alfanzo. They tried to run for the safety of the badlands, but with some luck, I took Alfanzo down, with operative Ward killing the other. And that concluded yesterday patrol.
Today, however was a way more different happening, yet the same. Several outcast and rogue heavy signatures approached Manhattan, in an obvious bait maneuver. After support arrived, we advanced to the very much known unlawful locale in New York, Rochester. And sure as rain in New Tokyo, there they were. My scanner picked up a Ranseur mooring at distance so, it could be that they were waiting for us to attack with our capital assets for the outcast capital to un-moor and basically shoot them in the back. We played the waiting game and when they saw that the fight would be an actual figth, I played my cards on their weak minded captains. And again, rain falls and pours in New Tokyo. The whole situation de-escalated fast and soon no signatures were in the vicinity as they ran to protection under the junker umbrella.
Later on, intel advised to several Unioner signatures in system. Linking up with the Iowa, I played the bait. Iowa played the hammer. And once again, rain does fall in tons in New Tokyo. They were all huddling up in Beaumont, a Hel cruiser and two Arbeiter fighters. Handlers, UN|Abomination, UN|Dorsten and UN|Rheiner.Sthal. After 'asking' me to evict the vicinity of Beaumont, their cruiser captain was quick in issuing the order to get rid of me. So I dodged for a while, deflecting their guns and screams of "For Rheinland" and other nonsense, as the Iowa positioned itself to deal with the most troubling contender, the Unioner cruiser. Some cloak malfunction or my demeanor alerted the cruiser commander, who felt danger approaching. Top marks for instincts. Zero for manners. As the Iowa uncloaked right at his side, like a father catching her daughter with a boy on prom night, the cruiser received a spanking. So since they thought Texas was part of Rheinland, we gave the cruiser a proper Libertonian hello. With anti-matter and mortar fire. After the Iowa delt with the cruiser, it stood down as their weaponry is mainly anti-capital, leaving me to deal with the two fighters.
And as the last time I visited Rheinland, it ended much the same way, with a bunch of dead rheinlanders. And since my dad taught me manners and raised no buffoon, I gave them the notice.
Welcome to Liberty.
Without anything further to add,
Ensign Kate Albey
Liberty Navy, First Fleet
