Subject: Attempted antimatter bomb attack on Manhatten
Corporal Frederick, I gave you a direct order to NOT try and cover this up. Its headline news in Liberty for fracks sake...
Needless to say from that, the Corporal's report is not at all representative of the events last night. The attempted attack was perpetrated by Major Jeremy Hunter after he went more than a little bit insane.
After encountering LSF vessels along with a Liberty Navy battleship in Omicron Delta he seems to have snapped. Corporal Frederick and I arrived back from Chugoku originally to assist him in dealing with the LSF but as we mustered forces to intercept the Liberty fleet, Hunter contacted me in a very unstable condition threatening to carry out a significant terrorist atrocity in New York. Despite my orders to stand down and return to Minor he seemed intent on going through with his threat.
In light of this I got in contact with the LSF forces in Delta to warn them and offer our cooperation in avoiding such a tragedy. They accepted my offer and were allowed to pass back through Omicron Minor to Alaska where we persued Hunter all the way to Manhatten itself. Thankfully I was successful in disabling his engines before he could carry out the attack and eventually he came back to his senses.
We were not however successful in keeping the incident out of the pulic eye as Hunter broadcast his intentions on a system wide channel, causing a mass panic and forcing us to reveal our presence to many witnesses.
After Hunter had been subdued we were escorted back to Minor by LSF agents where I have had Hunter incarcerated in the Isis brig pending trial.
I have contacts working on retrieving evidence of the icident. (// I was F10ing frantically thoughout the whole thing but it seems I forgot to turn on Fraps...)
The story has been widely reported on Liberty media channels with the details of the Order involvement in stopping the attack conveniently left out.
Sergeant Leigh out.
