Now that I have finally rejoined you all and am safely back within The Order's territory, I can indeed reveal myself, and cease hiding under the care of Chase Deaucorian. I am indeed the freelancer Ensign Eversman Young mentioned, Ash Falthion. I was captured after my cover being blown during what was to be a sting operation of sorts, to lure out Nomad sympathizers. My ship was damaged, I ejected, and was captured.
To make a long story short, I was held for two to four weeks (I was unconscious from the ejection), and then eventually hid inside my captor's cargo bay after waking up mid-transport at some point. I knocked him out at Freeport 1 and escaped in his ship. Knowing I was hosed with regard to my identity being compromised, and the Mercenary Bulletin Board probably had a bounty already out for me, I sold the ship, picked up a CSV after hitching a ride from FP1, and disappeared for the better part of a year.
Viktor Navorski, an old Freelancer/Mercenary friend kept me in hiding until I could find and contact Chase. Mr. Deaucorian then kept me hidden and essentially bankrolled my quest to relocate you all and reunite with The Order. I wish to put him under our protection now, as he did so much, at extreme personal risk to his own life, in order to bring me back to the fold.
Now, on to business...
Attention To Orders: Address to High Command
To the members of The Order High Command,
Sirs/Madams, it is my intention to restart the 42nd Order Rangers Reconnaissance Squadron, effective immediately, with your express permission. I already spoke to Admiral Osborne on this, and he gave me the go-ahead to put this forward to you all.
I desire to re-form the squadron, and re-instate its mission of patrolling all of Sirius for Nomad presence, infestation, invasion possibility, and sympathizers/supporters. We will still maintain the fleet's stances towards the Bounty Hunter's Guild, but for purposes of maintaining a transparent presence, we will not actively seek out the LPI/LSF/LN, and engage them. We will fire if fired upon, however.
The 42nd will primarily make use of Fighter class craft. We wish to request a few bombers be set aside, in the unlikely event that a serious Nomad presence is found far away from the Omicrons, and requires being dealt with. The 42nd also intends to make use of civilian fighter craft with neutral affiliations, with the reasoning of attempting to 'blend in' to our surroundings, so as to keep ourselves less obvious to those who would try to subvert our goals. Eventually, I may make a request for a Resheph class Reconnaissance Cruiser, as that is this squadron's purpose, and said ship would serve as our mobile 'home base' or means of support when we are out in territory unfriendly to us, and lacking a suitable place to bunker down, if necessary.
With regard to callsigns, we would be using the Squadron's old habit of keeping in line with our Egyptian affiliation, thus using names of the Old Gods. I myself would request to use my old designation of 42|Khonsu once more.
The command structure, as per Commander Savoy, was eventually changed to the following:
Rank: Commander
42|Hapy - Simon Young - Taiidan Bomber
42|Amun'ra - Mitchell Peterson - Nephthys Fighter
42|Horus - Michael Hurt - Nephthys Fighter
42|Geb - Ben Leitch - Nephthys Fighter
42|Menthu - Ean Westman - Nephthys Fighter
42|Apis - Robert Hawkins - Nephthys Fighter
42|Hathor - Sasha Morgan - Nephthys Fighter
I was not included on this list because at the time of the organization wide recall, I had been captured and was M.I.A. If possible, I would prefer to keep this rank and structure system intact, as it was when Commander Savoy set it up.
Bombers (Civilian) (Limited in usage)
Roc
Havoc Mk II
Waran
Capital Ship Class Vessels (Only one will exist)
Resheph
I already have two individuals seeking entrance into this Squadron, Zaure Jones, and Mr. Deaucorian himself - on the circumstance that we allow him to be inducted into The Order, which I requested above.
If there are any problems, please let me know via secure communication here, or reach me on my personal line within my ship.
Thank you.
Ash Falthion
