First Officer Kilgor reporting
Greetings, Sirs,
I trust your meeting is going well. I am filing this report after assisting the TAZ chase down a violator of their temple who had destroyed one of their vessels, shot up numerous patrols and refused to surrender two Zoner pilots he was holding captive.
The human scum's name was "Big.Blob.Billy.Bob" and he had a Lane Hacker IFF. An insulting fellow he was but not so stupid as to fight the Vor'cha. Well, he surrendered the pilots which I returned to Freeport 6 for proper treatment. My last report was that they were OK.
Assisting me to assist the TAZ was ZDF-Invictus.Adagio who served well. Excellent work, Sir. Please be sure that Ambassador Holliday gets this report. I am certain he will like to add him to the "cabbage list."

Subject: New Recruit
Neq'neh, Admiral,
Yesterday, a man approached me at Freeport 6 asking to join the ZDF. Mr. Peter Kristall met me there in his Virage fighter. I wanted to test him in action so I borrowed a TAZ fighter that stays there and we met. After a long, perilous but honorable battle, he bested me. He also gave me some respect for the Virage. I guess in good hands, it's a fine fighter.
So, Admiral, I ask that you add: ZDF-Peter.Kristall to the roster for the 5th Foo Fighters in the Taus under my command since we need all we can get here. His info is as follows:
"Ah, good day, this is... What?""No, turn it off. They don't need to know, not yet.""But he's been missing for...""Three days we give him, alright? C'mon, he's a veteran, he knows how to take care of himself.""He's 97! We should never have let him...""Look, he'll be fine, Ravenor needn't know, he'll turn up, he always does.""Yes, but, the radiation...""That's... Wait, I told you to turn..."
Effective immediately. All ships are to report to their nearest friendly zoner installation for routine maintenance and general check-ups. While there, All personnel are to report here.
Also, all personnel who have not contacted me over the S.K.Y.P.E. protocol to join in on our new comms network must do so as soon as possible.
At ease gentlemen, get it done.
Ravenor out!

RE: GRN Cruiser
Encryption: Very Heavy
Neq'neh, Admiral,
It was quite the eventful day. I was in my office at Freeport 6 when I heard chatter of several Zoners chasing a GRN cruiser. The ZTC reported it in Omicron 74 and it was reported at one point in Omega 49. I even heard of a report that it had previously engaged one of our Corvo cruisers and destroyed it.
So, we launched and made an effort to find it, tracking it on sensors as it entered New London. We sat in the Taus and waited, hoping the coward would show his face.
We continued monitoring as he then crossed into Tau 31 from Edinburgh with the TAZ ship still following. It eventually returned to Edinburgh and the TAZ ship broke off the chase for fear of being shot. She was able to report, however, that it "cloaked" itself at the Edinburgh/Tau31 Jumphole on the Edinburgh side.
Admiral, I think this is a wake-up call. I long ago predicted these.....*coughs and spits on the floor* Royals would advance into Sirius with ill intentions and I see this as a pre-cursor. I think it is time we start getting serious about preparing for our own defense, the defense of the Zoners and our way of life.
I took on some extra provisions and have decided to hide, hoping to follow it more. We are cloaked as I send this and for security purposes, I will keep quiet as to where. No, I did not go into Gallia. Until I return to Freeport 6, we will be under com silence. I do not think we will be out for too long.

Greetings, Admiral,
We went out on a routine patrol last night and for the most part, it was uneventful. We found a man flying about in a Starflier, looking for Java Station. As he had not batteries or bots, we gave him some and gave him an escort to Java. He was most greatful.
While there, we spoke with the Commander of the Maverick V who was there. A good man he seemed to be. After which, we returned to base only to find an IMG Spatial by the base. Stutlus I think was his name and he was, well, rather eccentric. His weapons load out was interesting to say the least. After a brief chat, he ventured off.

Commander Izii Helfari, at Gran Canaria
"Commander Helfari reporting in. I know my absence was quite unannounced, though beyond my control. I have spent some time working on recovering an Aquilon for an independent Zoners Guard Admiral, Ajmar Di'Vijune. In the meanwhile I leave my second in command, Lieutenant Atyum, at the helm of a Corvo exploration cruiser marked Viaticum-1. While not a ZDF-designated vessel, it's purpose was tasked with mapping systems for data I will feed into an Aquilon carrier, which I intend to put towards the use of patrolling the Omicron sectors and enforcing Freeport neutrality.
"While I also have received news of the Bounty Hunter's Guild causing a menace at Freeport 11, I haven't stood idle. The Aquilon I assisted in recovering has relocated itself to Delta, and is on standby. As for my personal vessel, the Broken-Hammer, it too has been moved to Freeport 11, where I am now in orbit. When my Lieutenant has finished his mapping, his orders are to work towards the construction of an Aquilon, and then I will take command of the carrier for the ZDF. In the meanwhile, the Broken-Hammer will be put under his command as a secondary vessel permanently stationed at Freeport 11.
"Commander Helfari, over and out."

Greetings...
Yesterday my brother Raphael from TAZ delivered form They research division TLR (telepathic long range) device and our mechanics mounted it in my Kaichou...
This phenomenal piece of equipment make a possible mental communication with Nomads and provide mental shield from Wilde telepathy influence..
Because TLR is still in experimental phase (know issues include spontaneous misfire of countermeasures and cruise disruption) i decide to take my bomber for test drive...
So far no accidental launch of CD or CM happens so hopefully this one gonna work just fine...
I don't encounter any Nomad or Infected on my way so cant say if it really work and manual is a little bit cloudy...
In My travel i was passing by Sigma-17 so I decided stop by ruins of Freeport 7.
For love of Eris...
You can still feel fear and pain of people who died here....
After Couple minutes of silence i made round honoring everybody who died here and everybody who lost they relatives.
I finished my patrol in AMES not encountering anything suspicious...
I'm gonna test TLR in the following weeks and if it's gonna work like it should I'll put recommendation to Admiral to purchase and mount this device on every ZDF Ship.
