I just want to put in a quick report on the new group called //NORP.
These guys seem pretty hostile, but easy enough to bring down. Recently, they were attacking one of ours with 2 Tridents and a bomber. I decided to take out the Groom Lake to deal with them quickly and swiftly. They did not last long after I arrived.
One another note, I would like to congratulate Vice Admiral Wilder on his promotion. I have not flown with you yet, but from seeing the Fleet Admiral's good words, I can only expect the best when I do.
And to my good friend Jack, congratulations as well for your promotion to Admiral. We need to go get a drink sometime, on me, and maybe bring Chrisy to the clubs!
Right, first off. Today I had my crew members patroling in thier fighters and bombers rather than the LABC to hopfully find the pirates hiding. They did find a few so it was successful, however, they also stumbled across something rather distrubing.
We got a report of a gathering of Zoners at Manhatten and a possible capital ship. Due to the capital threat Liet. D Roberts was dispatched with his bomber to check the situation with Cmdr. S Eversman in his fighter on backup. Liet. D Roberts came across no cruiser, but a Merc gunboat and Zoner fighters. The Zoners were argueing how he is vialating their tech agreements and must buy a cruiser ... which is odd. As a result I then contected A TAZ member " [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Center " who confimed that they were not official Zoners and also agreed to come talk to them. Just before they arrived they calimed they were ORI! First they attempted to pirate the TAZ, they then proceeded to intimidate others until they eventually left.
Later, Cmdr. S Eversman was on his way back to Norfolk after successfully dealing with some pirates at Manhatten. Prepairing to go off duty for the night he undocked out of the trade lane outside norfolk to come across something rather distubing. His chat coms caught the end of a conversation between these two again and a trader, along the lines of "you think you can try to *censored* with me?" before shots were fired on the trader. Acting quickly Cmdr. S Eversman shouted "Hold it!" before moving to attempt to defend the trader. Unfortunatly he was unsucessful. And the traders ship was destroyed. He did however manage to put off these guys from a further attack, one fled and the other was killed by some Navy trainees (// NPCs). Unfortunatly Cmdr. S Eversman was only able to get chat logs due to being busy trying to defend the traders.
These guys should be considered dangerous. They have engaged and intimidated liberty citizens. This combined with thier ORI connections, which already have a history of hostilities towards Liberty, I would strongly recomend others to be on your guard when near them. They may be flying Zoner colours, but theres no way these guys arn't hostile.
Also the TAZ mentioned requested me to point out they are NOT connected to them in any way. And also to mention they did attempt to defend Liberty citizens from them dispite being outgunned.
Good Morning fellow officers. I will like to report Indian activity near the Independent worlds connecting Kusari and Liberty. The Initial signal about the Indian was received by a Ageira patrol I went to investigate and when I reached the 10 k from the Kepler Gate my lane was disrupted
I saw the ageira pilot facing 5 Indians all alone i went in and started interrogating the Indians but they remained silent to my questions not to mention they stink like dead people and crap. They threaten me but in that time my reinforcements came. And I Ordered to engage I let Matt take command cause he wanted so I give em the chance.
The Indians were overwhelmed and we managed to take out 2 or 3 of em after we lost the Ageira Bomber the pilot managed to eject and we got his pod. I will like to commend the individual for his courage facing overwhelming odds and aiding us.
The Indians got reinforced by two freelanceres who decided it was fun to shoot us. Well I think they saw that its not that fun but more likely that it hurts. A Outcast gunboat decided to come aid us it was quite wearied but when you think before the outcast boat came to help us the Indians brought in a entire repair ship.
To refuel em . God some people never learn, even with a repair ship on the field our forces adapted and nearly destroyed that ship. when it ran once it ran the Indians decided to get out as well. We chased one of the freelancers that aided the Indians to the Kepler system and escaped by docking to Armes. Gun cams of the Freelancer docking to Armes to escape libretonian forces.

Greetings Ma'am's and Sir's,
After a long repair and major retrofitting of the LNS-Douglas, I went out around New York to test the new equipment. At Planet Manhattan, I was informed by a civilian that there were two Lane Hackers approximately near the NY JG in the California system. Prior to investigating the tip, I encountered an Outcast at the lane from Manhattan-Fort Bush. He was only a fighter so I "talked" him into leaving the area which he amazingly did so.
A Siege Cruiser captain decided to come along. At Cali JG in NY, we spotted right after they jumped from Cali. A certain Ash.Voidrunner and a Pink.Panther. The former noticed our ships so he immediately fled but the latter shouted, "ZA KOSOVO!", and opened fire on our ships. He was dispatched quickly by the Siege Cruiser captain using a rather-lucky shot from his light mortar.

Greetings Ma'am's and Sir's,
As all-perhaps some of you noticed, I was gone for quite sometime. Two months actually. I wasn't missing either. For two months, I was called on to supervise the reconstruction of the LNS-Douglas. It was heavily damaged during a dastardly raid against the Rheinlanders. Miraculously all hands onboard and my dear friend James survived the assault.
I apologize for the AWOL and have now returned to active status.
My comeback patrol:
Quote:[font=Arial Narrow]Patrol 1: New York-California
My first patrol went extremely well. I patrolled NY seeing no pirates nor smugglers. At California on the lane from Planet Cali Minor to Mag JG. I encountered a rookie Outcast pilot. He was scared and fled immediately as soon as he saw my glowing lights.
A Rheinland-type transport came up on my scanners. It quickly headed for WP Academy. I assumed it was a ploy of Rheinlanders but when I scanned his ship, he was merely a simple trader. I told him to change his ship which he complied.
On the way to Planet Manhattan, I spotted a LH Gunboat. It immediately fled away uttering no words of its intention. I then received a notification that [LN]-Mason.Ralusch just came into space from Manhattan. I immediately sent him a comm channel invitation. He was apparently called on for a hunt on the LH Gunboat I just encountered. Mister Mason was experiencing technical difficulties so I was left to deal with the Gunboat. On the system comms, he stated that he had 6 hostages mainly LPI pilots. I looked at my hold to find out I had taken 6 LR piltos as my own bargaining chips. We agreed to meet near Conn JH. Without any more complications, we exchanged the hostages.

Yesterday, a Zoner Jugg entered orbit of Manhattan. I insisted that the captain of that vessel break orbit and leave New York. Barely complying, he moved his ship away from the planet far enough to allow commercial traffic safely through. After some time, the Zoner fired on and destroyed at least 2 Liberty Dreadnoughts and a handful of Liberty cruisers. As soon as his actions turned completely hostile, I engaged the Zoner with my mini razor. What could I do? The LNS had 3 capital ships in orbit of Manhattan not doing a thing to help neutralize the hostile vessel. I continued my assault until the LNS decided to escort the Zoner from Liberty space. My protest of the safe escort of this criminal went unanswered until the Zoner fired on my Guardian. My ship was crippled and had to be towed to the nearest LPI installation. From my understanding, the LNS continued to escort this criminal even after the attempted murder of myself, a LIBERTY POLICE OFFICER. Do what you will with this report. As for me, I will continue to serve Liberty with or without Liberty Naval support.

Greetings Ma'am's and Sir's,
Continuing my previous report, [font=Lucida Sans Unicode][LN]-Mason.Ralusch had somehow fixed his problem and then a [LN]-Tia.Whitehall broke my short nap.... Hehe.
Quote:Patrol 2: California
Anyways, Tia and I first patrolled California. I received reports of pirate activity in the area. I ordered Tia to scout LA-Cortez JG, while I took Planet Mojave-Magellan JG. On the way back to LA from Mag JG, I was ambushed by 5 Rogue fighters. Their leader, LR-Sincere.Lair, didn't like the fact that I was shooting his Rogue friends. I called for backup which came in the form of 4 LPI pilots and Tia. Mason came in a little to late as he was coming in from NY. I focused on shooting down the Rogue rookies before dealing with their leader.
The leader apparently had more reinforcements than expected. He managed to call several outcasts but we managed to shoot all down. The Rogue Leader made a mistake to shoot Mason... I left Tia and Mason to shoot him down and Tia managed to blew the leader into space by a skillfully laid mine, which almost caught Mason's ship in the blast radius.
Patrol 3: Toaster in New York
"Toasters" as Jacob and Mason dubbed it, are so-called AI Cruisers flying around New York. This time it wasn't your average AI. The AI was programmed by the Outcasts. What are they up to now.... [LN]-Jacob.Beumont spotted the Toaster flying around Norfolk. He requested bomber support to which I acquiesced. He kept relaying the coordinates of the Toaster. At the scene, I found an Order Gunboat, Cerberus|LT-Michael fighting the AI Cruiser, Core.Deep_Blue. Lieutenant Jacob didn't see it fit to combat the Order Gunboat. The AI Cruiser managed to escape by diving into the sun and possibly circumnavigating it.
_______________________________________________________________________________ Warning! This part of the transmission has been directed to Liberty High Command.
After the short skirmish, I was halted by the Order Gunboat. He wished to talk with me about a ceasefire agreement. <.><.>
________________________________________________________________________________
Our forces didn't manage to locate the AI Cruiser. Until Pueblo Station relayed coordinates of an large unknown vessel presumably the AI Cruiser The LSFC|Ohio, Siege Cruiser, was called upon to hunt and disable the enemy cruiser. The Ohio jumped to Colorado, again the vessel was nowhere to be found. Mason and Tia were confronting an XTF pilot near lane FB-Colo JG.
The AI Cruiser finally showed itself, possibly responding to a hail from the XTF pilot. The Ohio managed to get its attention and a furious shootout commenced. Lieutenant Jacob was forced to bring out his Gunboat, the LNS-Forward.Unto.Dawn. Under the combined firepower, we managed to kill the beast. The Ohio took considerable fire during the battle and its engines were badly hit. They had several casualties on board and weren't able to move. I had the LNS-Douglas called upon to possibly tow/repair Ohio's engines and provide medical support for the injured.
We swiftly completed the rescue mission without any complications. A Rogue Gunboat tried to intercept our
ships but it was completely decimated by the Douglas' trained crew. News about the confrontation between the XTF pilot and our own fighters hasn't been heard yet.
Yours truly
For Freedom and Justice,

A small report here. I got word that a smuggler was in Alaska. I sped towards Zone 21 and found him there just exiting the mine field.
It was slave liner hauling a full load of artifacts.
I disrupted his cruise engines and told him he was trespassing. rather than trying to lie his way out, he blatantly admitted he was in Alaska and that he had come into contact with nomads. I ordered him to drop his load. He tried to bribe me. which I obviously refused, as honest and dedicated I am to my beloved work and liberty.
He then did the old drop-a-small-fragment-then-run trick.
Unfortunatly, I had a bunch of outcast rookies on me so he managed to get to 5k from me. Luckily, a LSF gunboat by the name of BuB (don't ask) had just launched from Norfolk and spotted the liner and managed to catch it.
We then proceeded to blow it up as it even fired on the gunboat and at me.
Keep an eye out for this ship. As soon as he gets a new liner, I bet he'll keep at it.
Maybe even KoS it. as it:
- Trespassed into Alska/ zone 21
- was smuggling artifacts
- tried to bribe a navy pilot (who was too awesome to accept)
- tried to run from the law
- shot at lawful vessels
- was smelly
