Incoming Transmission Liberty Navy, 1st Fleet Ensign Randy Williams
7-OCT-833
After filling in the paperwork to request two Firestalkers added onto my fighter being processed, I began my patrol from West Point with the intention of familiarizing myself with the latest modifications of our snubcrafts. The first surprise was meeting a Starflier (the peaceful organization, not the CTE vessel) light fighter with a cargo haul of Cardamine. As it was a Light Fighter, I was not able to intercept it on board of my Defender, but the guncam footage below reveals the haul. Considering the death toll caused by Cardamine withdrawal and the massive reduction in seized Cardamine hauls, it is rather suspicious.
My patrol then continued, coordinating with our assets by Planet Manhattan to find problem spots, such as a temporary Xeno drop-off point guarded by a fighter screen, or smuggling depots overwatched by the Junkers. This allowed me to test the efficiency of our weaponries against our foes, and I am glad to say that at least on my end, the results were rather positive. Some of my wingmen during these patrols were shot down, but I successfully managed to recover their pods. All criminals were handed over to LPI assets on Manhattan for processing, while our boys are currently recovering on our Manhattan facilities.
