Captain Marcus Bennett, starting the ship's log. We have received new orders, to divert from Texas to Magellan and inspect the region there.
Increased hostilities between the Liberty Rogues and the Hellfire Legion have been reported all over the independent systems bordering Liberty.
Caution is advised, me and my men are prepared. We're having an issue with the transfer of power from the Shield Generator to the Cloak Generator, we are using low-grade Hydrogen Fuel. We have requested advisement from the High Command.
Captain Marcus Bennett, speaking. We have "acquired" some scum in our cargo hold. We are disposing of them at the hands of their IMG friends, whom they tried to "convince" to yield some cargo.
In the meantime, we are attempting to engage the cloak with a different, higher grade hydrogen fuel.
Increased hostile activity detected on sensors. We're all in high alert, as possible outbreaks of pirate activity is unavoidable. Shield's operating at 100%. Weapons are on-line at all time.
The cloak test ended successfully. Cloaking generator maintenance crew reports the device is at 100% operability.
Manoeuvring through the asteroid clouds, sensor teams on high alert, always scanning for inconsistencies.
Captain Bennett, out.

[20.08.2012 21:12:41] [HF]-Ignignokt: Uhm.. Hi there.
[20.08.2012 21:12:53] Battleship.Melinda: Well.
[20.08.2012 21:13:11] Battleship.Melinda: While you're here, I might spare you, if you answer to a few really honest questions.
[20.08.2012 21:13:17] Battleship.Melinda: Don't worry, I'll be decent.
[20.08.2012 21:13:23] [HF]-Ignignokt: Continue.
[20.08.2012 21:13:37] Battleship.Melinda: So. What's wrong with you and the Liberty Rogues?
[20.08.2012 21:14:08] Death: Judge-Cutter was put out of action by Cadet-Alpha (Gun)
[20.08.2012 21:14:20] [HF]-Ignignokt: Well, they're whinin' over us being better than them, And they're mad about it
[20.08.2012 21:14:23] Battleship.Melinda: I saw you two... having a few territorial battles.
[20.08.2012 21:14:37] Battleship.Melinda: Don't worry HF, as long as you're cooperative.
[20.08.2012 21:14:41] Battleship.Melinda: I'm harmless.
[20.08.2012 21:14:54] Battleship.Melinda: We don't use to blow up cooperative people...
[20.08.2012 21:15:07] [HF]-Ignignokt: Tell that to the Primary fleet.
[20.08.2012 21:15:15] Traffic control alert: soaring~consciense has requested to dock
[20.08.2012 21:15:27] Death: Gaban` was put out of action by Bebe.|Sails (Gun)
[20.08.2012 21:15:28] Battleship.Melinda: Me and my crew are serving Liberty.
[20.08.2012 21:15:34] Battleship.Melinda: Not the primary fleet.
[20.08.2012 21:15:41] Battleship.Melinda: We answer to different leaders.
[20.08.2012 21:16:02] Battleship.Melinda: For example, the president is the leader of all the armed forces in Liberty.
[20.08.2012 21:16:08] Battleship.Melinda: Other admirals for other fleets.
[20.08.2012 21:16:27] Battleship.Melinda: Now, let's leave Adm. Hale to cater for his own fleet, and let's proceed.
[20.08.2012 21:16:34] [HF]-Ignignokt: Yet, Mister Hale seems to hold himself in Higher regard than the president, does he not?
[20.08.2012 21:16:37] Death: Rini died.
[20.08.2012 21:16:52] Battleship.Melinda: I have seen a few troop "cocentrations" on both your side and the Rogues's.
[20.08.2012 21:17:12] Battleship.Melinda: Don't mind the quotation marks, you're still insignificant compared to the navy, but still.
[20.08.2012 21:17:18] Battleship.Melinda: Enough to get us... interested.
[20.08.2012 21:17:30] Battleship.Melinda: The hard pressing question is: What's going on?
[20.08.2012 21:17:37] Battleship.Melinda: You were killing each other before.
[20.08.2012 21:17:37] [HF]-Ignignokt: Oh? Don't think we're a fightin' force, eh?
[20.08.2012 21:17:43] Battleship.Melinda: Why the blind zealotry now?
[20.08.2012 21:18:08] Battleship.Melinda: Well, HF. As much as you think you are, well... I'm sorry to burst your bubble. You're pretty much small time.
[20.08.2012 21:18:25] [HF]-Ignignokt: The Rogues decided to bring in the Outcasts after they got tired of us beatin' them back, so they called for war.
[20.08.2012 21:18:29] Battleship.Melinda: Anyway. What's going on?
[20.08.2012 21:18:46] Battleship.Melinda: So, they declared war on you.
[20.08.2012 21:18:51] [HF]-Ignignokt: Indeed.
[20.08.2012 21:18:54] peter.alerton: ?
[20.08.2012 21:18:55] Death: Oneeye died.
[20.08.2012 21:18:55] Battleship.Melinda: Interesting.
[20.08.2012 21:18:59] [HF]-Ignignokt: But, I have a question for you.
[20.08.2012 21:19:05] Battleship.Melinda: Shoor.
[20.08.2012 21:19:08] Battleship.Melinda: Shoot*
[20.08.2012 21:19:10] Death: Plurimus.Cretinus died.
[20.08.2012 21:19:11] [HF]-Ignignokt: What is the Navy doing during all this back yard conflict?
[20.08.2012 21:19:27] Battleship.Melinda: Gathering intelligence, thus far.
[20.08.2012 21:19:45] Battleship.Melinda: They have sent spies amongst your circles.
[20.08.2012 21:19:48] Battleship.Melinda: Probably.
[20.08.2012 21:19:52] Battleship.Melinda: I don't know.
[20.08.2012 21:19:55] [HF]-Ignignokt: So, what you said before about us not being a fightin' force?
[20.08.2012 21:19:57] Battleship.Melinda: I'm here to scan the area.
[20.08.2012 21:19:59] [HF]-Ignignokt: Surprise!
[20.08.2012 21:20:00] Death: Judge-Cutter was put out of action by Cadet-Alpha (Collision)
[20.08.2012 21:20:05] [HF]-HFB-Ven'Gyr: Hello.
[20.08.2012 21:20:13] Battleship.Melinda: Hello.
[20.08.2012 21:20:22] [HF]-HFB-Ven'Gyr: Batteries, open fire. This dread is going. [20.08.2012 21:21:45] Traffic control alert: Battleship.Melinda has requested to dock
[20.08.2012 21:21:56] Death: Markus007 died.
[20.08.2012 21:22:15] [HF]-HFB-Ven'Gyr: The Navy isn't the only one with cloaking devices.
We exchanged fire. Both sides suffered casualties, without any ship losses. Advising caution, they are bloodthirsty savages.
Redirecting the ship for a closer inspection. All gunners on high alert.
We will give them no quarters. Upon HF - LR interactions, HF is the higher priority target. We'll be opening fire on them with as little to no warning, as they did to us.
