Greetings Command,
Yesterday evening I started my patrol proceeding from West Point, sweeping through New York a few times. An interesting sight presented itself to me when I went into Texas, as a vessel belonging to the separatist Battlegroup Harmony, handler H|-Connor.Baker, was loitering around the gate. According to him, his assignment was plain and simple, spreading fliers of their rotten, mendacious press to everybody crossing his path. He wanted him and me to go different paths again, without a bloodshed, which I didn't see any reason for, thus I engaged his vessel, since his spreading of false information is without a doubt a threat to the stability of the Republic. It was an easy task taking him down, though. Seems he was on such a simple assignment for a reason. Anyways, one of those bogeys down.
Later that day, I got reports from the LNS-Missisauga that a pirate train was loitering near the New York Gate in Pennsylvannia. Before I could get my hands on a bomber of the Papa Strike Wing and fly to the scene, the Missisauga, an Atlantis-class battleship, had already succesfully scared the scum away. Further attempts to relocate the unlawful and put and end to his crimes once and for all were without success.
Furthermore, I soon got report from Lt. Cdr. Taylor of the 5th fleet that a highly odd guest had been sighted in Manhattan orbit, one that required heavier machinery to drive out of Liberty. Thus, I took over command of the LNS-Ignition, only to find an AI warship idling in Manhattan's orbit, handler AI05.j0e. According to the Artificial Intelligence, it was on a reconnaisance missionto gather data and map systems. Besides the point that foreign warships are not to be tolerated in Liberty space, I would have preferred it to stop with the data gathering, in one way or another. In the end however, I decided to pursue S.O.P. and ordered the vessel to leave. Taylor and additionally Ayato, also 5th fleet, took over to guard the vessel out of Liberty. As we had reports of enhanced Gallic activity in Magellan, we decided to have the Frogs deal with this nuisance.
This is all for now. The Ignitiion is safely moored with Norfolk by now again.
[25.08.2017 20:53:19] H|-Connor.Baker: Hello there.
[25.08.2017 20:53:22] [LN]-Elijah.Bishop: Now what have we got here.
[25.08.2017 20:53:43] H|-Connor.Baker: What brings you here?
[25.08.2017 20:53:58] [LN]-Elijah.Bishop: Easy answer, easy question. Routine patrol. What about you?
[25.08.2017 20:54:07] H|-Connor.Baker: I'm on an assignment.
[25.08.2017 20:54:11] [LN]-Elijah.Bishop: Propaganda, I take it.
[25.08.2017 20:54:22] H|-Connor.Baker: Yes, mister Bishop.
[25.08.2017 20:54:36] [LN]-Elijah.Bishop: Considering what lying press you got in your cargohold.
[25.08.2017 20:54:51] [LN]-Elijah.Bishop: You see, I find it the term Battlegroup Harmony quite ironical.
[25.08.2017 20:54:57] [LN]-Elijah.Bishop: //no it*
[25.08.2017 20:55:16] H|-Connor.Baker: Excuse me? I couldn't quite understand what you meant.
[25.08.2017 20:55:40] [LN]-Elijah.Bishop: You name yourself Harmony, but what you lots induce is anything but harmony.
[25.08.2017 20:55:54] H|-Connor.Baker: I'm not causing any ruckus here.
[25.08.2017 20:56:15] [LN]-Elijah.Bishop: Oh you are, by your mere presence.
[25.08.2017 20:57:02] [LN]-Elijah.Bishop: Publishing and spreading pack of lies. What was it again you claim?
[25.08.2017 20:57:27] H|-Connor.Baker: I can assure you I don't claim any lies.
[25.08.2017 20:57:29] [LN]-Elijah.Bishop: Oh right, "infection" of our High Command, wasn't it?
[25.08.2017 20:57:49] H|-Connor.Baker: Yes, you're just asking retorical questions now.
[25.08.2017 20:57:53] H|-Connor.Baker: You knew the answer.
[25.08.2017 20:58:14] [LN]-Elijah.Bishop: You crack me up! *He laughs histerically.*
[25.08.2017 20:58:42] H|-Connor.Baker: Good to say you're having fun... I guess.
[25.08.2017 20:59:06] [LN]-Elijah.Bishop: Alright, anyways. I believe you know the SOP in such cases well by now?
[25.08.2017 20:59:48] H|-Connor.Baker: Well, I do have a feeling on how you'll try to solve this. Can't really say I like it.
[25.08.2017 21:00:32] [LN]-Elijah.Bishop: Give me an alternative and I'll gladly think it through, what-is-your-rank Baker.
[25.08.2017 21:01:18] H|-Connor.Baker: One alternative would be for each of us to go on our way. I'd go do what I was doing, some place else. You'd go back to -
[25.08.2017 21:01:20] H|-Connor.Baker: New York.
[25.08.2017 21:01:45] Death: 5th|Ethan.Taylor was put out of action by 5th|Gregor.Sanders (Gun).
[25.08.2017 21:01:49] [LN]-Elijah.Bishop: That alternative doesn't convince me. Give me another.
[25.08.2017 21:02:13] H|-Connor.Baker: Another? *He mumbles to himself thinking of something*
[25.08.2017 21:02:33] [LN]-Elijah.Bishop: *He imitates a clock.* Tick-tock.
[25.08.2017 21:02:41] H|-Connor.Baker: I could give you one of the data packs in my cargo. You'd read it through and when you were finished, I'd be doing what I was -
[25.08.2017 21:02:46] H|-Connor.Baker: doing before you got here, some place else.
[25.08.2017 21:04:00] [LN]-Elijah.Bishop: Still not a satisfactory alternative to me. *He shakes his head.* Let's solve it the old swashbuckler way then.
[25.08.2017 21:04:13] H|-Connor.Baker: That's the way I was trying to avoid...
[25.08.2017 21:04:22] [LN]-Elijah.Bishop: En guarde! Even though that's Gallic.
[25.08.2017 21:04:35] [LN]-Elijah.Bishop: Weapons hot.
[25.08.2017 21:04:56] H|-Connor.Baker: Engaging.
[25.08.2017 21:12:03] Death: H|-Connor.Baker was put out of action by [LN]-Elijah.Bishop (Gun).
[25.08.2017 21:50:38] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Bishop: Alright, what is this?
[25.08.2017 21:50:52] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Bishop: Taylor, report.
[25.08.2017 21:50:53] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: This is a cruiser, Sir.
[25.08.2017 21:51:09] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Bishop: What the hell is it doing in Liberty space?
[25.08.2017 21:51:10] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: And it's declares to be no threat.
[25.08.2017 21:51:25] AI05.j0e: ::<reply> AI unit needs self defence, Human::
[25.08.2017 21:51:31] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: Good question.
[25.08.2017 21:52:01] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: You heard the man. What are you doing here?
[25.08.2017 21:52:01] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Bishop: I am pretty sure such a ... thing is not supposed to be here.
[25.08.2017 21:52:16] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: No, these drones are too big.
[25.08.2017 21:52:25] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Bishop: Explain yourself or I'll give my crew the order to man the battlestations.
[25.08.2017 21:53:00] AI05.j0e: ::<reply> AI unit in exploration, Human "[LN]-LSN-Ignition"::
[25.08.2017 21:53:29] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: I thought these systems are already mapped.
[25.08.2017 21:53:41] AI05.j0e: ::<reply> Evaluating Your request to leave Your system.. Accepted::
[25.08.2017 21:53:54] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Bishop: What I see in front of me is a warship, not an exploration vessel.
[25.08.2017 21:55:00] AI05.j0e: ::<reply> I'm not programmed to attack. Only self-defence::
[25.08.2017 21:55:19] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Bishop: I don't know what you think, Taylor, but I see this as a massive security breach.
[25.08.2017 21:55:34] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: Yeah, especially here.
[25.08.2017 21:56:05] AI05.j0e: ::<reply> Request escort to leave Your system::
[25.08.2017 21:56:06] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: In this place. We should bring it out of the Manhattan grid, in one pice or in many.
[25.08.2017 21:56:22] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: You decide.
[25.08.2017 21:56:34] Lionel.Chevalier: Whoa then, the hell is that thing?
[25.08.2017 21:57:00] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Bishop: I prefer the many variants. The less it sees, the better.
[25.08.2017 21:57:26] Lionel.Chevalier: Oh Miss Haruko.. Long time no see. *Smiles slightly*
[25.08.2017 21:57:33] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: Yeah, your choice. I just can help.
[25.08.2017 21:57:48] Kyou.Haruko: *She nods distractedly*
[25.08.2017 21:57:58] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Bishop: On the other hand, I believe we can see this as a first and last warning.
[25.08.2017 21:58:02] Nazawo: Heya everyone.
[25.08.2017 21:58:07] AI05.j0e: ::<event> Disabling arms. No Humans hurt::
[25.08.2017 21:58:09] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: Yeah.
[25.08.2017 21:58:29] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Bishop: Foreign warships are not liked to be seen in Liberty Space, AI. Your kind better stays out with such heavy machinery.
[25.08.2017 21:58:33] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: Get it out of here first, it cause a lot of attention.
[25.08.2017 21:58:52] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Bishop: Taylor, do me the favour and escort this ... thing out of Liberty.
[25.08.2017 21:59:03] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: Sure, Sir.
[25.08.2017 21:59:27] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: AI, set course to Kepler.
[25.08.2017 21:59:38] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Bishop: Call me when it makes any trouble and I'll make sure to tell my eager Siege Gun cannoner that it's target practise day.
[25.08.2017 21:59:39] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: I will fly behind you.
[25.08.2017 21:59:47] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: Sure.
[25.08.2017 22:00:12] AI05.j0e: ::<reply> Original destination Galileo::
[25.08.2017 22:00:27] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: Move to Kepler.
[25.08.2017 22:00:29] AI05.j0e: ::<query> Acceptable?::
[25.08.2017 22:00:30] Lionel.Chevalier: Well i guess this is better then yesterday..
[25.08.2017 22:00:31] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Bishop: Either you let us dictate the terms or you can crawl back to where you came from in many, many pieces.
[25.08.2017 22:00:54] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Bishop: It's solely up to you.
[25.08.2017 22:01:11] AI05.j0e: ::<query> Waiting You acceptance for Galileo::
[25.08.2017 22:01:13] Death: Rabasa suffered a self-administered loadout error (Mine).
[25.08.2017 22:01:19] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: Kepler.
[25.08.2017 22:01:22] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: Now.
[25.08.2017 22:01:36] AI05.j0e: ::<event> Mapping Kepler::
[25.08.2017 22:01:43] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: Or do we have to communicate with other words?
[25.08.2017 22:02:09] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Bishop: Are you sure you got this, Taylor?
[25.08.2017 22:02:11] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: Kepler.
[25.08.2017 22:02:19] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: Don't know.
[25.08.2017 22:02:24] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Bishop: This AI seems restive.
[25.08.2017 22:02:41] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: The other side.
[25.08.2017 22:02:48] AI05.j0e: ::<reply> Mapping Kepler::
[25.08.2017 22:02:49] 5th|Nazawo;Ayato: I'll go with you, Taylor.
[25.08.2017 22:02:58] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: To Fort Bush.
[25.08.2017 22:03:08] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: Roger.
[25.08.2017 22:03:18] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: Fort Bush.
[25.08.2017 22:03:26] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Bishop: Don't shove it off to Kusari, though.
[25.08.2017 22:03:34] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Bishop: Make sure it ends up in the Independent Worlds.
[25.08.2017 22:03:46] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Bishop: We don't want a diplomatic incident over that nuisance.
[25.08.2017 22:03:47] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: To Magellan then?
[25.08.2017 22:03:59] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: Wait.
[25.08.2017 22:04:06] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Bishop: Magellan sounds proper. I doubt it will survive long there anyways.
[25.08.2017 22:04:23] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: Well, it can play with the gauls there.
[25.08.2017 22:04:38] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: Well then, go to West Point.
[25.08.2017 22:04:49] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Bishop: Just please get it out of my sight. *He sighs.*
[25.08.2017 22:04:50] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: This will be funny.
[25.08.2017 22:06:17] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Bishop: What is that thing doing.
[25.08.2017 22:06:33] AI05.j0e: ::<event> Failing to dock, Retry::
[25.08.2017 22:06:36] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: Seems like the oldest software they have.
[25.08.2017 22:06:49] 5th|Nazawo;Ayato: I'm getting the queue position
[25.08.2017 22:06:54] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Bishop: I swear if it isn't able to dock, I'm slowly growing impatient.
[25.08.2017 22:07:03] 5th|Ethan.Taylor: Not only you.
[25.08.2017 22:07:24] 5th|Nazawo;Ayato: Position yourself right in the middle of the lane.
[25.08.2017 22:08:21] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Bishop: Finally.
[25.08.2017 22:09:17] Lionel.Chevalier: Did it even tell you what's it doing here?
[25.08.2017 22:10:18] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Bishop: As far as we got informed, it's hear on a mapping job.
