Lt. Jennifer Jaymes Commander of 35th Liberty Navy air patrol reporting:
"Me and my wingmen were covering the Tradelane leading to the Hudson Jumpgate. We didn't
encountered nothing special - just 2 Liberty Rougues on the wat to the jumpgate. We blowed
one of them, the other just turned his back and flew away. The thing to report was a strange
encouter we had on the way back to Battleship Mississippi. We were half way back and on the comm-
link we were talking some daily stuff, Bob was telling a joke, when suddenly our scanners picked
up something big 1500m away from us is South-west position. we dissengaged cruse engines and
moved closely to the signal. About 800m away it revealed - a battleship of a Liberty design,
but I have never seen like that one before... and then the unthinkable happened - it's turrets
opened fire... And untill we could withdraw my winmen were all blow up to pieces... Bob, Carlos,
Adrian,Rodrigues ... While all the systems of my defender were screaming warnings all I heard
were their screams on the radio... and then silence...The battleship has dissapeared as he had
appeared. I could scan nothing , neither track any escape pods. This was ... I can't ... they
all died..."

Personal log of Adrian Valentinov

"2 years ago I heard it from a distant relative...I have a twin brother.Could't bleive. Still
can't.I conducted a search for information about my past. I don't remember much from my childhood.
I remember a lady saying to me that my parents are dead in an incident at the station...even don't
remember which was the station...Freport 7 I think. After that I can remember the pansion...the
other orphans...10 years later I was enjoying the luxuries of the Prison Liner "Dakota" for attacking
a trade convoy... I was desperate... After 1 year I was granted amnesty for the terms of being a bounty
hunter for the goverment - with no pay and a lousy 100credits weekly allowance - just enough for living...
That went for 5 years. After that the sentence was completed. I could not do anything else but to become
a Bounty Hunter. I managed to keep myself indipendant and didn't joined some of the BH groups. I have a good
pay for a hard work. And one day I met this man-he sayed that is a distant relative to my family, to be exact
my father. He started a conversation about my past, he knew more than I did. And telling me about my twin
brother was the tops of it. My father has been a well known trader. My family has always been on the move.
My mother has been a very beautiful woman...and I have a twin.From that day I used all my contacts to gather as
much Info about him as I can. I know that his name is Vladimir Bankovsky-my real family name.And nothing more...
Only that in Liberty I'll learn the answers..."

"...What was that?... Just before i entered high orbit of the planet I had a vision...A command brige of some
battleship I guess...I saw some people at the control panels of the decks. And a voice...strange one... I heard
in my head... He was giving commands... and then that was all.

Well I talked with the people in the bar, had to spend some creds.I learned that my Brother has taken a career
in the Navy. A successfull one. He has become one of the three High Admirals Of The Liberty Naval Forces-most
highes rank In the Navy. Unbelivable, but it explains the strange dreams and my knowlege of all liberty military
crafts... and I though I was born genious :)... and then one day while he was on a non-official cruse he dissappeared.
And nothing more.. the military covers all the info about this case... shortly after that a prototype Battleship SS
"Redeemer" has dissapeared too... even more strange..."

...As the beauty of the systems' Sun filled the eye , so did the surrounding space. The beautiful colourfull gasses,
parts of formings of new stars , billions of lightyears away. Upon carefull ispection a little part of the space piture
was blurrirng as there were some kind of gasses. The blurring was moving towards the asteroid field...suddenly it slowed,
got even more blurred, electrical charges appeared of nowere in the gass mass. The thing got even more distorted and slowly
began to gain form...it was a battleship. A battleship appeared. The ship slowly took cource to Montezuma base and and moved
to a dry dock with specially designed part of the station.
*****
{The Damned} - Captains, its time to re-model The Redeemer. We will re-construct it to a more usefull ship of midlle class.
The cloacking devise will be adopted for it too. We will be usind this Rogues base as a major shipyard. They will help us too.
We got the plans for the new Redeemer from them. It's time to make this a more efficient and deadly ship. It's going to take a lot of work
but I don't want to hear complains. Get half of the crew working on the job.I have other plans for the other half.Execute the orders!
Summon to me the chief of the spies!Go now!
{Major Captains} - Aye , my lord!
*****
{Chief of the Spies} - As I have told you my lord there is some Bounty Hunter named Adrian Valentinov asking for you around.
What should we do?
{The Damned} - Well if he is asking for me, than I think it's appropriate if we ask for him.I think that with his interst in me
I ought to understand why is he so obsessed with my personallity.I need you too 'cause I need information about a sertain
cruser from the old LS days.As I remember I asked you to investigate the matter.
{Chief of the Spies} - Yes sir, I did. I can tell you that The liberty cruser SS " New Hope" is currently on dry dock for an up-to-date
procedure on planet California Minor, California system, Sir.
{The Damned} - Hmm...That will be all - dissmiss!
The Spy took on his way. The Damned turned and saw from the inside of the base the docked ship. In the base was reigning a strange
excitement - unnatural for a pirate base of this size. Everyone were gathering equipment and were starting work on the ship.

{Chief of Spies} - Sir I bring you information about that guy. He is an orphan, has been in prison , afterwards released upon good behavior.
He has a brother twin wich he has never seen. His mother and father had died in the Freeport 7 accident.I know even his birht date. It's

{The Damned} - Thats Immpossible! This is my birthdate. Hmm my parents have also died in that accident. I'm beggining to see something here...
If it's true it will be all better for me...I have a plan. Listen now. You are to lead this guy to me. I must see him. I think that he is looking

At Montezuma's docking hangar.
It was the dark figure there. Standing. The Hammerhead cut off his engines.The pilot of the ship went down the movable ladder. For a moment they
watched at eachother. Than they stepped closely at the same time. A hug followed. The dark figure lead the man to the insides of the base.
*****************
The two brothers had a long conversation...and slowly Adrian became more and more like his broter. A connection stronger than life itself was made
then.And from it a plan was crafted... The liberty cruser was to be hijacked. Adrian now called The Avenger is to take half of the "Redeemer" crew
and command the cruser to Vladimir's will. A train working with The terrorist will get the crew and Adrian to California Minor. One of Adrians childhood
friends - George is to be drawn to the darkness.He is an assault bomber pilot from the elite 8492nd squadron.He used to be...Now he will be evil's
right hand.This job will be done by Vladimir himself. The capitans of The "Redeemer" were ordered to get weapons for the cruser and the re-constructed
"Redeemer".

From the Montezuma base two ships un-docked and took different cources. One was a cargo train and headed to California.The other was a Werewolf fighter

Planet Crete High orbit
...The Corsairs were at tension. They were expecting someone. The high council has chosen
Pablo Ibanez and his wing of fighters to greet the guests. All he knew was that they were some
kind of terrorists. But by this they were a valuable allies to the corsairs. Possibly the
council have forseen that they might be very helpful for the spreading of the corsair artefact
trade...Either this way or not, his job was to greet 'em.
Ten minutes after Pablo placed his wing in high orbit when something happend. Before his eyes
from nowhere ships started to materialize. His breath was stuck in his troat. He could see a
Liberty Cruser , Hugenout , few trains , and several various fighters... Looks like they came.
He greeted them on although his voice was still tremulous. Deep and strange voice replied.
Then the ships started doking one after another... Hopefully the council knows what are they
doing...
*****
{The Damned} - Officers order the fleet to be moved to Tripoli Shipyard. This will be our new
operational base.
{1st officer} - Aye , sir!
.....
{The_Avenger} - So what you think about the corsairs?
{TD} - So far I like their style... Unfortunately they will have to be enslaved like the rest.
But I think that this will actually keep their original spirit and preserve it better...
{TA} - So when we will start the corruption?
{TD} - As soon as we establish here.It won't take much...sevearal days and the Corsair counsil
will be a powerful weapon in our hands.
{TA} - You know whats best... Where do you want me to establish the cruser?
{TD} - On the border of the asteroind field around Tripoli will be perfect.Go do it now. I'll
have a talk with the cheif spy...I'm planing an operation against the heart of The Kusari empire.
{TA} - I'll see you in half an hour.
.....
{Chief Spy} - Well sir , the news from LIberty are more than good. The Navy and its high comanders
are "searching for you and the Redeemer , but actually that is all only for the public. As much ,
as I know they are concerned about another vile group - The Phantom empire as they call themselves.
{TD} - Hmm, I need you to understand more about them. They might proove a powerful ally...
{CS} - As you command sir...
{TD} - What about the elite pilot from the 8492nd, Adrian's friend?
{CS} - The message has been sent to him...
{TD} - Then he will come...and under my and Adrian's influence he will become one of us.You're
free now , go and investigate The Phantom Empire!
{CS} - Yes Sir.
.....
{TA} - So what's happening , anything new?
{TD} - No , everything is as planned. George is comming here.
{TA} - I told you he will...He is going to be great addition to your cause.
{TD} - So tell me about that 8492ng squadron.
{TA} - There isn't much to tell. They are non-govement , non-public guardians of peace. Something
like a secret Order.
{TD} - Hmm...
{TA} - What are you thinking?
{TD} - I guess that its about time we form a fighter squad of our own.Maybe your friend
will like to Command it?
{TA} - Definetely he will. What is the squad going to be?
{TD} - Full scale reply to the 8492nd , only the ideals behind it will be ours...
{TA} - I see...
{TD} - The plan about The New Tokyo bombardment needs several recon observations.I'll do
them myself. Are you comming with me?
{TA} - And you still ask...you should have known better that I'm you...wherever you go I go.
{TD} - Then meet me in space in 10 minutes with your fighter.
{TA} - I'll see you up there.

{The_Damned} - O.k. we are approaching the Planet. I'll start the scaning process...
{The_Avenger} - Isn't a little odd that we havent met patrols from the Kusari navy? I mean
we are near the Empire's heart and we haven't been detected or intercepted.
{TD} - Well so far I am not concerned. We gotta do this fast though , I'm not in the mood for
a fight now.
{TA} - I can't shake the feeling that this is a trap.
{TD} - Why it would be? I havent done much damage to Kusari...well except the destruction of
sevaral Destroyers in Kuyshu...
{TA} - Still I'm very nerveous... it's very quiet...
O damn , Im picking up signal in front of us!
{TD} - Hmm , this is a Kusari BS patrol. Well I am done with the scan , I have the positions of the
major factories on New Tokyo. Let's get outta here!
{TA} - I'm picking up signals from behind...and from both sides!
{TD} - Things get better... Looks like you were right. Don't you hate it when you are right?
{TA} - Now I do hate when I'm right for once...I'll count them.
...
{Kusari Fleet Admiral} - Surrender terrorist, you are surrounded!
...
{TD} - I wonder from where they knew we will be here...I won't respond. Whats the count?
{TA} - Well things aren't pretty - i have counted 4 battleships , a dozen Destroyers ,
twice as much gunboats...and a quite impressive number of fighters.
{TD} - Hmm... This is gonna be a hard one. I can say only one thing to you ... see you on the
other side!
{TA} - You too bro! Lets get 'em!
*****
... The two fighters opened fire on the Battleroup. This caused a confusion for just a moment.
The naval forces opened fire. Only seconds were separating the two fighters from the nothingness...
And then suddenly another Battleship warped just behind the Kusari Battlegroup line. He opened fire ,
and for 30 seconds a dozen of fighters launched from him. THe Battle took an unexpected turn...
The Kusari fleet was extremely confused... this allowed the newcommers to destroy most of them...
The brothers were also surprised , but managed to mobilize and continue the fight. Torpedoes were flying
all around , guns blazing... it all continued 5 minutes... The flagship managed to escape with several fighters
and one destroyer... a crushing defeat...
*****
{TD} - Why did you helped us?
{DarkStar} - The Masters always look after their own.
...Suddenly The_Damned understood all...the information moved through his brane with a painfully rapid speed. They
have sent him the answer... The C'Tan...the mistic energy... devouring millions of souls...
chaos, destruction, massacre, smoke, ashes... An ancient weapon of the C'Tan... that is his essence... Now he knows
who are The Phantom Empire, now he knows that they are looking for him... The long lost weapon of the C'Tan...
He looked towards the cockpit of his brother's ship...he knew too...they are one... they are C'Tan creations...

Even more we are a valuable tool for the execution of that plan. You will improve our performance.

Umm you are missing something. If it is 800 AS it means that it would be year 3000, since alliance left in 23rd century 2200-2300. +800 years that is 3000-3100.
Not 3600.

I know the math...I've just added several centuries after the storyline of FL. And if you follw the date of the chapters you'll see that 3605 and 3606 years and dates aren't chosen in random. The dates and years are around the dates I come up with the stories A.K.A year 2005-2006 the mounths of December January And February. I write the chapters first on notepad before I put em here. So the dates are "real" and are most closely to what is happening on the server in real-time.
The story is real and performed by me on the server. All the events there are being already done... more to come soon...
P.S. And the 23rd century is 2201-2300
