Urgent tight-beam communication >> Department of Tactical Operations // 04/23/830 A.S.
Upon nearing the last leg of my patrol and shakedown cruise of XFR-8801, the long-range electronic warfare unit newly assigned to me based upon the "Grizzly" chassis, returning to New York from Colorado, I came across a Xeno on long range scanners. Immediately, I left the trade lane and vectored towards the threat, proving to be XA-Cobra, otherwise known as Robert Eugene Hughes or 'Damien Moretti'. The details are largely unimportant, however the threat was engaged and quickly Hughes fell back to a fighting retreat. Noting that I would run out of cruise disruptors long before he ran out of countermeasures, even factoring in my vessel's greater speed at cruise, I opted to instead follow the Xeno to see where he would go, a choice that would prove fruitful as he fled to the Ontario system, the nest of the Xeno movement itself.
Upon entering the system, I engaged my vessel's cloak due to the Ontario system being largely uncharted since lawful forces pulled out years ago. With such sensitive and advanced communications and scanning arrays on my vessel, I was hesitant to take the risk of being jumped by superior numbers. Still trailing the Xeno, however, he lead me towards jump holes both towards the California and Kepler systems. The California entrance to Ontario has been mapped by myself and my crew in the middle-left of Sector D3, the Colorado entrance at the bottom right corner of Sector B5, and the Kepler entrance at the bottom of the BC4 line. It is noteworthy however that this is by far the most unstable of all three jump holes, and transit of vessels above Freighter-class is not recommended.
While my gratitude goes out to Mr. Hughes for his contributions to the cartography of the Liberty combined armed forces, I would propose that Tactical Operations in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security use these entry points to stage further scouting operations into the Ontario system and perhaps identify the state of the Xeno presence in the system. I have attached my own updated map with the new jump hole data, including points of egress. Given that Hughes only showed me the unstable Kepler jump hole when I was still in pursuit after all other attempts to shake me, I believe that the rumoured Xenos base of operations may be in sector BC23 as he may have been attempting to keep me away from this area of the system if he could, however this is a tenuous theory and it would likely be an extremely high risk operation to search the entire sector, as such a search of this nature is not recommended.

Agent 'Blue'
Field Report No. 4 - 5/27/830 AS
Agent 'Blue' reporting aboard Fort Custer. Standard patrol was uneventful until 2148 hours, when a Corsair transport, callsign CCS>San.Rafael was spotted in the California system, and was found to be hauling 4,300 units of Xeno Relics, which are contraband in Liberty.
Subject tried to reason with agent, including the claim that artifacts should benefit humanity and aid in the destruction of the Nomads. In addition, subject called the agent a "snake". No reasoning could be done, so the order to arrest was made. Target's ship was impounded at 2155 hours and the remaining contraband was collected by one of the Navy's logistics ships, the [LN]-LLS-Rushmore.
[27.05.2023 21:47:51] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Holy... what's this?
[27.05.2023 21:48:18] CCS>San.Rafael: Are you afraid of a train policeman?
[27.05.2023 21:48:38] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Uh, you're a bit mistaken. I'm not a policeman.
[27.05.2023 21:48:51] CCS>San.Rafael: Whatever you are...
[27.05.2023 21:48:59] CCS>San.Rafael: amigo
[27.05.2023 21:49:01] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: You know very well that Liberty prohibits the shipment of Xeno Relics within her borders.
[27.05.2023 21:49:22] CCS>San.Rafael: Maybe we can make an agreement...
[27.05.2023 21:49:29] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Second, the Corsairs are not welcome in Liberty space.
[27.05.2023 21:49:59] CCS>San.Rafael: Why not? We are good people, Beliebe me policeman
[27.05.2023 21:50:14] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: What's "good" about carrying some artifacts?
[27.05.2023 21:50:36] CCS>San.Rafael: They may have the key to defeat the Nomads
[27.05.2023 21:50:54] CCS>San.Rafael: And the snakes that some of you have inside
[27.05.2023 21:51:10] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Do I really care about your reasoning? You're just kicking the hornet's nest.
[27.05.2023 21:51:48] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: There's no deal to be made with Corsairs that smuggle their artifacts.
[27.05.2023 21:52:01] CCS>San.Rafael: We will prevail. The humankind will prevail...
[27.05.2023 21:52:32] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Whatever. I'll have to arrest you.
[27.05.2023 21:52:39] CCS>San.Rafael: Well, i am leaving California
[27.05.2023 21:52:48] CCS>San.Rafael: As you wish
[27.05.2023 21:52:50] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Guns at the ready. Target the Corsair.
[27.05.2023 21:55:01] Death: CCS>San.Rafael was put out of action by =LSF=Fort.Custer (Gun).
[27.05.2023 21:57:12] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Good evening, captain.
[27.05.2023 21:57:21] [LN]-LLS-Rushmore: Bisenti: Someone ordered a ride?
[27.05.2023 21:57:38] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: There was a Corsair transport hauling Xeno Relics, with which I dispatched.
[27.05.2023 21:57:53] [LN]-LLS-Rushmore: Alright, we're loaded up. Tractor beams did the magic.
[27.05.2023 21:57:57] [LN]-LLS-Rushmore: Form up and lets go!
[27.05.2023 21:58:14] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: I'm more than happy to escort you.

Agent 'Blue'
Field Report No. 5 - 6/16/830 AS
Agent 'Blue' reporting aboard Fort Custer. Near Norfolk Shipyard, agent was assigned to provide escort for the two 46th| transport vessels, alongside the Primary Fleet and other vessels. Intended destination was to the Omicron systems.
The convoy made the trip successfully, although some complications were present. A Lane Hacker affiliate was identified in Omicron Nu, callsignLH~Franz.Oberhauser:. Subject was disabled not long after by escort fighters and the transports managed to escape unscathed. Agent encountered an Order cruiser, callsign Unto.Nightfall|S8, which immediately fled.
After jumping to Omicron Zeta, multiple Order readings were confirmed. Their behavior to the convoy was, surprisingly, non-hostile. Agent maintained a careful observation on their behavior as the convoy jumped to Omicron Mu.
The convoy successfully obtained the palladium with few complications. Interestingly, an IMG battlecruiser was present, callsign Scoria. Subject immediately left the scene. During the trip, however, two Corsair gunboats, callsigns DTR-CNS>Soy.Peligroso and DTR-CNS>El.Gran-Capitan, and a Core vessel, Force!Challenger were spotted, but showed no hostile intent. On the return trip, Nomad signatures were confirmed, though the convoy managed to depart safely towards Omicron Minor.
While nearing the Omicron Nu jumphole, however, cloak signatures were detected. After activating the disruption field, another Corsair cruiser, callsign DTR-CNS>Cimitarra, appeared in the vicinity. Hostile confrontation was expected, but the cruiser decided to flee and cease pursuit, and the convoy transports safely made the returntrip back to Norfolk Shipyard with the palladium intact.

Agent 'Blue'
Field Report No. 6 - 7/23/830 AS
Agent 'Blue' reporting aboard Fort Custer. Near the Pennsylvania jump gate in New York, agent encountered a freelancer, callsign von_Stein, flying a pirate transport. There were no records in the Liberty ship database that suggested the subject had a license to fly such a ship.
Subject tried to bribe agent, but eventually complied with orders to pay a fine of two million credits after a number of unsuccessful attempts at coercion. After the fine was paid, subject was ordered to escort towards California where it proceeded to talk about "salvage laws". Instead, subject was told to get a new, legal ship or a license, and was then promptly escorted out of the system via the Cortez jump gate.

[23.07.2023 13:14:03] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Using pirate transports within Liberty space without approved authorization is illegal.
[23.07.2023 13:14:19] von_Stein: what about the salvage law

[23.07.2023 13:16:44] von_Stein: good day agent
Fort Custer continued standard, routine patrol within the California system. While investigating the Texas jump hole, a Corsair liner, callsign DTR-CCS>El.intrepido, appeared. However, scans showed no traces of cargo. A brief conversation took place, which was cut short as agent responded to a distress call in Texas, just outside the California jump hole.
Fort Custer proceeded to assist a fellow liner, callsign =LSF=Sentry.Osprey, from a Corsair frigate hauling Xeno Relics, callsign DTR-CCS>Torro.Halcon, which was attacking the liner. After sufficient damage was dealt to the frigate, subject promptly held fire and was ordered to drop the relics. The liner confiscated the Xeno Relics and agent followed the frigate towards Beaumont Base. Target vessel was identified as carrying illegal technology of Corsair and Unioner origin and was promptly ordered again to leave Liberty space without further complications.

[23.07.2023 13:39:42] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Did he destroy some of the cargo?
[23.07.2023 13:39:50] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: That's not how you handle things, Corsair.

Agent 'Blue' reporting aboard Fort Custer. Agent conducted a patrol mission into Pennsylvania was conducted at 1800 hours when a vessel, identified as a Zoner "Conference"-class Gunboat, callsign ZCV-Wayward.Warden, appeared near Bethelehem Station. Subject had a brief conversation with the agent, stating apparent ignorance to the current situation in Pennsylvania. After clearly pointing out the facts, subject made threatening statements and began the fight. It was soon apparent that the Zoner had a lot of experience in flying gunboats, but Fort Custer ultimately prevailed and disabled the vessel at 1821 hours.
During the fight, a Freelancer, callsign Rebekah.Wynn, and an Outcast gunboat, callsign Violetta.Salvador, was present, though they made no attempts to interfere.
[30.07.2023 18:07:54] ZCV-Wayward.Warden: Greetings.
[30.07.2023 18:08:01] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Zoner vessel. This is Liberty space.
[30.07.2023 18:08:13] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Terrorist activity shall not be tolerated.
[30.07.2023 18:08:17] ZCV-Wayward.Warden: What the hell's been happening around these parts?
[30.07.2023 18:08:26] ZCV-Wayward.Warden: I was told it's bad.
[30.07.2023 18:08:31] ZCV-Wayward.Warden: Didn't expect it to be -that- bad.
[30.07.2023 18:09:07] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: The Security Force here is to maintain order and prevent terrorist elements from seizing control of the system.
[30.07.2023 18:09:38] ZCV-Wayward.Warden: So we're terrorists now?
[30.07.2023 18:09:46] ZCV-Wayward.Warden: Who're we terrorizing?
[30.07.2023 18:10:01] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: You are clearly affiliated with the local Zoner terrorist group within this system.
[30.07.2023 18:10:16] ZCV-Wayward.Warden: Doesn't that have something to do with Erie?
[30.07.2023 18:10:20] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: By harboring known Insurgent elements and trying to cause an insurrection.
[30.07.2023 18:10:21] ZCV-Wayward.Warden: I haven't been to Erie once.
[30.07.2023 18:10:34] ZCV-Wayward.Warden: Neither am I involved in your deals with the Insurgency.
[30.07.2023 18:11:06] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Regardless, the government has issued an order to eliminate any armed Zoner vessels that may pose a threat to Liberty.
[30.07.2023 18:11:25] ZCV-Wayward.Warden: Do I look like I pose a threat to Liberty?
[30.07.2023 18:11:35] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: It's pretty obvious.
[30.07.2023 18:11:48] ZCV-Wayward.Warden: I wonder how you came to that conclusion.
[30.07.2023 18:12:04] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: You're clearly flying a gunboat. I'm not doubting it.
[30.07.2023 18:12:21] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: The security of Liberty depends in having your kind removed.
[30.07.2023 18:12:40] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: We cannot allow terrorist elements of the Zoners to continue posing a threat to our assets.
[30.07.2023 18:12:59] ZCV-Wayward.Warden: *She sighs* Do you really want to do this?
[30.07.2023 18:13:08] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: You are one of them.
[30.07.2023 18:13:18] ZCV-Wayward.Warden: Go back to wherever you came from, I'll return to Bethlehem.
[30.07.2023 18:13:25] ZCV-Wayward.Warden: In the meantime, I'll be arranging my trip away from here.
[30.07.2023 18:13:35] ZCV-Wayward.Warden: You never saw me, and I am blind.
[30.07.2023 18:14:16] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: For your organization's acts to committing terrorism, you shall be removed.
[30.07.2023 18:14:37] ZCV-Wayward.Warden: When your compatriots see your broken vessel and morale, tell them you shot first.
[30.07.2023 18:14:43] ZCV-Wayward.Warden: And that I fired in self defense.
[30.07.2023 18:14:51] Rebekah.Wynn: Aye, will do.
[30.07.2023 18:14:55] ZCV-Wayward.Warden: Don't forget that.
[30.07.2023 18:15:02] ZCV-Wayward.Warden: You're the one who wants this.
[30.07.2023 18:15:20] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Let's see.
[30.07.2023 18:15:27] ZCV-Wayward.Warden: After you, as is tradition.
[30.07.2023 18:15:51] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Then we shall begin.
[30.07.2023 18:16:02] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Engaging the Zoner vessel.
[30.07.2023 18:16:05] ZCV-Wayward.Warden: Remember, you asked for this.
[30.07.2023 18:17:24] 2023-07-30 18:17:23 SMT Traffic control alert: Rock.and.Roll has requested to dock
[30.07.2023 18:19:33] Rebekah.Wynn: Uh oh
[30.07.2023 18:19:42] Violetta.Salvador: Hola!
[30.07.2023 18:19:47] Rebekah.Wynn: Hello!
[30.07.2023 18:20:02] Violetta.Salvador: Wow! Liberty and the zoners are already at it?
[30.07.2023 18:20:10] Rebekah.Wynn: Yeah... seems so.
[30.07.2023 18:20:24] Rebekah.Wynn: Just err, taken me by suprise a little.
[30.07.2023 18:21:07] 2023-07-30 18:21:07 SMT Traffic control alert: Violetta.Salvador has requested to dock
[30.07.2023 18:21:25] Death: ZCV-Wayward.Warden was put out of action by =LSF=Fort.Custer (Gun).
Agent 'Blue', still aboard the Fort Custer, continued to talk with the Freelancer. Agent successfully convinced her of the situation and the two departed without incident. Fort Custer returned to patrol duty once the ship was repaired at Planet Erie.
[30.07.2023 18:22:59] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: My ship's beaten up, I'll have to patch it up at the Navy facility down there.
[30.07.2023 18:23:22] Rebekah.Wynn: Yeah, certainly. Hope you and your crew are all good there though
[30.07.2023 18:23:36] Rebekah.Wynn: It's a shame, such a waste of life
[30.07.2023 18:23:58] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Yet this is necessary. The Zoners have committed acts of terrorism to our assets.
[30.07.2023 18:24:12] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: We want to contain it before they pose a serious threat to our operations.
[30.07.2023 18:24:19] Rebekah.Wynn: Oh. That I did not know. I don't often fly in space you see.
[30.07.2023 18:24:38] Rebekah.Wynn: I hear snippits of information down on Manhatten but that's all
[30.07.2023 18:24:46] Rebekah.Wynn: It's a completely different place uphere!
[30.07.2023 18:24:54] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: The security of Liberty is paramount, hence why we conduct operations to root out any pro-Zoner sentiment.
[30.07.2023 18:25:01] Rebekah.Wynn: I understand
[30.07.2023 18:25:07] Rebekah.Wynn: It is what it is.
[30.07.2023 18:25:16] Rebekah.Wynn: I'm just glad you're all here to keep us safe.
[30.07.2023 18:25:19] Rebekah.Wynn: Thank you!
[30.07.2023 18:25:55] Rebekah.Wynn: I would like to help out where I can but I fear I'll cause more issues then anything good.
[30.07.2023 18:26:04] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: You are most welcome, as long as you uphold our law.
[30.07.2023 18:26:24] Rebekah.Wynn: Havn't broken it yet, nor do I intend to do so!
[30.07.2023 18:26:40] Rebekah.Wynn: Well, tell a lie. Got a small speeding fine on Manhatten but that's minor!
[30.07.2023 18:26:48] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: I'll be departing soon. See you later!
[30.07.2023 18:26:56] Rebekah.Wynn: Okay, see you around!
[30.07.2023 18:27:01] Rebekah.Wynn: Stay safe out there!
However, the patrol didn't end there. The Outcast gunboat mentioned earlier showed up again at 1830 hours. Subject proceeded to berate Agent about shooting Zoners, while a passing Interspace vessel, callsign -Tiny-, was mocking the Liberty Security Force's leader about alleged Cardamine usage. Fort Custer engaged the hostile gunboat and successfully neutralized it at 1836 hours.
A First Armada vessel, callsign 1st|Raptor-1-RC, appeared and escorted the Fort Custer to Erie for repairs once more. Further observation revealed no further threats, both unlawful and Zoner, and the patrol mission was concluded successfully.
[30.07.2023 18:30:51] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Outcast contact.
[30.07.2023 18:31:04] Violetta.Salvador: Hola there.
[30.07.2023 18:31:15] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Evening.
[30.07.2023 18:31:32] Violetta.Salvador: I saw you shooting that Zoner.
[30.07.2023 18:31:38] Violetta.Salvador: Not very nice.
[30.07.2023 18:31:46] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: You're not welcome here either.
[30.07.2023 18:32:11] Violetta.Salvador: You enjoy bullying everyone, hombre?
[30.07.2023 18:32:12] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Let's see it then.
[30.07.2023 18:32:31] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: I'll defend Liberty from your Cardamine.
[30.07.2023 18:32:36] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: So be it then.
[30.07.2023 18:32:41] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Weapons ready.
[30.07.2023 18:32:49] -Tiny-: I heard the leader of the LSF takes Cardimine
[30.07.2023 18:36:01] Death: Violetta.Salvador was put out of action by =LSF=Fort.Custer (Gun).
[30.07.2023 18:36:07] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Target down.
[30.07.2023 18:36:08] 1st|Raptor-1-RC: Greetings LSF
[30.07.2023 18:36:16] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Evening. Threats have been rooted out.
[30.07.2023 18:36:22] 1st|Raptor-1-RC: Nice job
[30.07.2023 18:36:38] 1st|Raptor-1-RC: will escort you to repiars

External Threat Assessment
Operation marked to begin at 0400. I radioed Westpoint for a ship on light duty. Navy Battlecruiser LNS-Upheaval arrived at 0353 over Los Angeles. After handling some Freelancers that had caused me some trouble earlier, operation began at 0359, and ended at 0520.
Marked goal was long distance threat assessment of Sudbury orbit. Operation completed successfully. Transcript is attached.
[09.09.2024 03:59:36] LNS-Upheaval: Advocate-1, We recieved a call. Mind filling us in?
[09.09.2024 03:59:44] =LSF=Advocate-1: Navy battlecruiser, this is Advocate 1-dash-1, Liberty Security Force. Agent Excelsus, External Threat specialist.
[09.09.2024 04:00:03] =LSF=Advocate-1: How much do you know about the Battlecruiser Lehigh?
[09.09.2024 04:00:39] LNS-Upheaval: Mainly that it's stationed out in Ontario. What it does out there is beyond me.
[09.09.2024 04:01:22] =LSF=Advocate-1: It's a Wyoming-class with a forward-position specialty.
[09.09.2024 04:01:30] =LSF=Advocate-1: To be blunt, its for punching holes into places.
[09.09.2024 04:02:10] LNS-Upheaval: We're out of the Reserve fleet out in Pennsylvania. Counter Piracy. Recieved the order to dispatch out to California
[09.09.2024 04:02:20] =LSF=Advocate-1: Chart a course for sector D-3, we can walk and talk.
[09.09.2024 04:02:53] LNS-Upheaval: Makes sense LSF asked.
[09.09.2024 04:03:08] LNS-Upheaval: Details were pretty sparse
[09.09.2024 04:03:40] =LSF=Advocate-1: As a wise woman once told me: "Half of it is bad, and the other half just sucks".
[09.09.2024 04:04:05] =LSF=Advocate-1: Trajectory adjust onto me.
[09.09.2024 04:04:32] =LSF=Advocate-1: The long and short of it is that the territory is hostile in about 6 different ways.
[09.09.2024 04:05:08] LNS-Upheaval: We're aware. Our ship and a few others took heavy losses.
[09.09.2024 04:05:51] LNS-Upheaval: We were chasing down a ship holding some LSF pilots for ransom and ended up deep in here.
[09.09.2024 04:06:07] LNS-Upheaval: We got jumped and all were lost.
[09.09.2024 04:07:12] =LSF=Advocate-1: Right. There's three major threats, and one minor threat in Ontario.
[09.09.2024 04:07:16] LNS-Upheaval: We didn't even make it out this asteroid field before we were dead in the water.
[09.09.2024 04:08:09] LNS-Upheaval: We got hit by a mix of Lane Hackers, Xenos, and Technocracy ships. [chuckles] to think all it took was a single zoner to keep-
[09.09.2024 04:08:15] LNS-Upheaval: us around long enough for them to arrive.
[09.09.2024 04:08:53] =LSF=Advocate-1: Sounds accurate to the reports, too.
[09.09.2024 04:09:36] LNS-Upheaval: I'm not sure if we'll be able to be at full capacity if we were to get caught in a firefight. Most of my gunners were lost in-
[09.09.2024 04:09:54] LNS-Upheaval: that engagement and powerplants are undermanned at 70% manning.
[09.09.2024 04:10:06] =LSF=Advocate-1: We're just going to make a quick in-and-out today. Local intel suggests the place is going to become a hotbed in a few months.
[09.09.2024 04:10:43] =LSF=Advocate-1: Threat analysis of the area around the pulse originating point.
[09.09.2024 04:11:15] =LSF=Advocate-1: We'll get close to the Lane Hacker hotspot, but as long as we stay outside the field we should be fine.
[09.09.2024 04:11:18] LNS-Upheaval: I'm not protesting against this. I just want to let you know where the Upheaval is at currently. We just came out of drydock
[09.09.2024 04:11:44] =LSF=Advocate-1: They can see us, but they can't get to us.
[09.09.2024 04:11:59] LNS-Upheaval: We lost against a Hacker Cruiser out in Pennsylvania..
[09.09.2024 04:12:27] =LSF=Advocate-1: Sounds accurate for an undermanned Battlecruiser.
[09.09.2024 04:12:54] =LSF=Advocate-1: Right, before we start, some quick dossiers on the factions.
[09.09.2024 04:13:12] LNS-Upheaval: Very well. You're CO of this op and The Upheaval is under your command.
[09.09.2024 04:13:33] =LSF=Advocate-1: Lane Hackers. They were a set of pissed off Ageira employees who believed the company scammed them.
[09.09.2024 04:13:43] =LSF=Advocate-1: Nowadays, they're a set of beligerent specialists.
[09.09.2024 04:14:01] LNS-Upheaval: Perhaps upon the formation.
[09.09.2024 04:14:17] =LSF=Advocate-1: They've got some of the best scanner tech in Sirius, because even Liberty criminals are the best in Sirius.
[09.09.2024 04:14:25] LNS-Upheaval: All of these factions seemed to have been born from noble causes. Generationally speaking is a different story..
[09.09.2024 04:14:56] LNS-Upheaval: [silently to himself: "haha, a bit Ironic"
[09.09.2024 04:15:27] =LSF=Advocate-1: They do seem like it, though if you look into them, they tend to be mostly centered around a group of people who were denied-
[09.09.2024 04:15:33] =LSF=Advocate-1: -their self-indulgence.
[09.09.2024 04:15:57] =LSF=Advocate-1: Add a little charisma, and you've got a fledgeling criminal organization.
[09.09.2024 04:16:04] LNS-Upheaval: Grass is always greener I suppose.
[09.09.2024 04:16:14] =LSF=Advocate-1: Lane Hackers tend to be really, really good at whatever it is they do.
[09.09.2024 04:16:29] =LSF=Advocate-1: Lane Hacker pilots tend to be on the same tier as Outcasts or above.
[09.09.2024 04:16:47] LNS-Upheaval: From what it looks like. It seems like some of them even have access to the tlagsnet.
[09.09.2024 04:16:47] =LSF=Advocate-1: Lane Hacker con artists could sell water to a fish and charge the sky to breathe.
[09.09.2024 04:17:21] =LSF=Advocate-1: Yep, Lane Hacker coders can do things that look like magic to coders and like acts of the divine to laymen.
[09.09.2024 04:17:40] =LSF=Advocate-1: The trick to getting at any individual one is hitting them where they're weak.
[09.09.2024 04:17:51] LNS-Upheaval: And to think my request for access had been denied for the past two years.
[09.09.2024 04:18:26] =LSF=Advocate-1: The Lane and Gate network is managed by Ageira. They have an internal set of rules who can be granted it.
[09.09.2024 04:19:04] =LSF=Advocate-1: Groups registered as Colony Police Force can be granted it for the areas they are Police Force for.
[09.09.2024 04:19:32] =LSF=Advocate-1: Xenos, the next group, has serious numbers.
[09.09.2024 04:19:50] =LSF=Advocate-1: They like snakes because of the mythical Hydra. Kill one, two take his place.
[09.09.2024 04:20:17] LNS-Upheaval: Kill one father, the child only resents.
[09.09.2024 04:20:35] LNS-Upheaval: And rises up to take revenge. Classic story. One I've seen many of.
[09.09.2024 04:21:08] =LSF=Advocate-1: The Technocrats... I've seen some things but those are still classified to the President and the Security Force only.
[09.09.2024 04:21:29] =LSF=Advocate-1: There's a decent chance they sold their souls to the devil, though.
[09.09.2024 04:21:53] LNS-Upheaval: All I could gather was from our previous engagement were their IFF. Any inquiries I made were met with a lot red tape.
[09.09.2024 04:22:01] =LSF=Advocate-1: Their technology is just difficult to deal with. Don't fight them unless absolutely necessary.
[09.09.2024 04:22:12] =LSF=Advocate-1: Leave them to a Security Force team whenever possible.
[09.09.2024 04:22:35] LNS-Upheaval: If only you guys would show up hahaha
[09.09.2024 04:22:41] LNS-Upheaval: excuse me that was out of line.
[09.09.2024 04:23:28] =LSF=Advocate-1: Complaint noted. Most of the External Threat team has been dealing with another incident.
[09.09.2024 04:24:08] =LSF=Advocate-1: I have noticed a lot of the conscripts in the Navy have issues with the nuances of our enemies.
[09.09.2024 04:24:17] =LSF=Advocate-1: Gotta know your enemy to defeat them.
[09.09.2024 04:24:24] LNS-Upheaval: I'll leave it at that. Thanks for listening to my rambling.
[09.09.2024 04:24:43] LNS-Upheaval: Issues as in sympathizers?
[09.09.2024 04:24:59] =LSF=Advocate-1: Issues as in being unable to fight against them.
[09.09.2024 04:25:12] =LSF=Advocate-1: Don't challenge a Lane Hacker pilot unless you know exactly what you're dealing with.
[09.09.2024 04:25:36] =LSF=Advocate-1: If you come up against a Lane Hacker Assassin, you'd better be the next Junko Zane.
[09.09.2024 04:25:59] LNS-Upheaval: Unfortunately, when they disrupt a trade lane 4km away from us it forces our hand
[09.09.2024 04:26:13] =LSF=Advocate-1: True enough.
[09.09.2024 04:26:38] =LSF=Advocate-1: Alright, I've got the course charted. We'll rendevous with Battlecruiser Lehigh first.
[09.09.2024 04:26:47] LNS-Upheaval: Understood. We'll go first.
[09.09.2024 04:27:13] LNS-Upheaval: All hands prep stations.

[09.09.2024 04:30:16] =LSF=Advocate-1: Battlecruiser Lehigh.
[09.09.2024 04:30:19] LNS-Upheaval: Agreed, Propulsion. Set Full speed.
[09.09.2024 04:31:14] =LSF=Advocate-1: Xenos fight for that field pretty hard. Rumor has it that one of those titanic asteroids is a base of theirs.
[09.09.2024 04:31:37] =LSF=Advocate-1: It's a little difficult to prove it, though. Hundreds of them can swarm at the slightest intrusion.
[09.09.2024 04:31:57] LNS-Upheaval: A swarm of bees mean a hive sounds like.

[09.09.2024 04:32:28] =LSF=Advocate-1: Positions confirmed with Lehigh. We're going to cut above the stellar plane for this one. Avoid as much trouble as possible.
[09.09.2024 04:32:48] =LSF=Advocate-1: Trajectory is the top edge of the sun's corona.
[09.09.2024 04:32:57] LNS-Upheaval: Lead the way, We'll your flight pattern.
[09.09.2024 04:33:49] LNS-Upheaval: Navigation set.
[09.09.2024 04:34:14] =LSF=Advocate-1: Everything seems so peaceful from up here, doesn't it?
[09.09.2024 04:34:43] LNS-Upheaval: For now it seems.
[09.09.2024 04:34:51] =LSF=Advocate-1: This used to be a bustling commerce system. Project Cold Lake was going on right next door in Alberta.
[09.09.2024 04:35:29] =LSF=Advocate-1: Position set. 21K above stellar center.
[09.09.2024 04:35:57] =LSF=Advocate-1: Next target: Planet Sudbury. Center of the energy pulse.
[09.09.2024 04:35:57] LNS-Upheaval: I wouldnt know. Ontario's always been like this for me
[09.09.2024 04:36:34] =LSF=Advocate-1: Yeah, believe it or not, Ontario used to be the central hub for Deep Space Engineering's trade.
[09.09.2024 04:36:44] LNS-Upheaval: How long ago was this?
[09.09.2024 04:36:59] =LSF=Advocate-1: Oh, five or six years ago.
[09.09.2024 04:37:12] =LSF=Advocate-1: New trajectory set. Lets go see this pulse origin.
-
[09.09.2024 04:39:23] =LSF=Advocate-1: Safe distance set. 11K from the planet.
[09.09.2024 04:40:12] =LSF=Advocate-1: I've got energy readings from the dark side of the planet.
[09.09.2024 04:40:23] =LSF=Advocate-1: God, I hate this place. Watch out for ambushes.
[09.09.2024 04:40:52] LNS-Upheaval: Redirect power from propulsion to sens-
[09.09.2024 04:41:08] LNS-Upheaval: What do you mean sensors cant take it?
[09.09.2024 04:41:32] LNS-Upheaval: Failure in the Periodics? and you tell me now?
[09.09.2024 04:42:02] LNS-Upheaval: Run it at the max it can and back down as necessary. We'll pull in to norfolk after.
[09.09.2024 04:42:24] =LSF=Advocate-1: You can manually bridge the sensor system if you disengage weapons, but keep them online.
[09.09.2024 04:42:41] =LSF=Advocate-1: It was an old trick we used to use to hunt down Order cruisers in Minor.
[09.09.2024 04:42:47] LNS-Upheaval: Oh. Was that over the line..?
[09.09.2024 04:42:54] LNS-Upheaval: *sigh*
[09.09.2024 04:43:12] =LSF=Advocate-1: Oh... well I'll be damned.
[09.09.2024 04:43:21] =LSF=Advocate-1: To hell with the sensors, visually confirming anomally.
[09.09.2024 04:43:49] LNS-Upheaval: That's what we've been doing. The issue is our sensors is that it's so old it cant take the power input at full and it overheat
[09.09.2024 04:43:55] LNS-Upheaval: Woah.
[09.09.2024 04:44:18] =LSF=Advocate-1: Shield...
[09.09.2024 04:44:25] =LSF=Advocate-1: The eggheads will love this.
[09.09.2024 04:44:39] LNS-Upheaval: Is that...
[09.09.2024 04:44:46] =LSF=Advocate-1: Safe distance set to 2.5K.
[09.09.2024 04:45:01] =LSF=Advocate-1: Hold here. Don't ever get too close to alien stuff.
[09.09.2024 04:45:16] LNS-Upheaval: Nomad tech.. This close to liberty?
[09.09.2024 04:45:21] LNS-Upheaval: Wait.
[09.09.2024 04:45:30] =LSF=Advocate-1: No, that's not nomad tech. Nomads swarm on Nomad tech.
[09.09.2024 04:45:32] LNS-Upheaval: We engaged a Battleship class Nomad not to long ago
[09.09.2024 04:45:55] =LSF=Advocate-1: Was it an artillery form?
[09.09.2024 04:46:16] LNS-Upheaval: unsure. All I know it was one huge fucker, and a slightly smaller one from that.
[09.09.2024 04:46:24] LNS-Upheaval: We chased it through here to inverness
[09.09.2024 04:46:34] LNS-Upheaval: from Cali of all thigns
[09.09.2024 04:46:44] =LSF=Advocate-1: You'll know an artillery form if you meet it. Awful sons of bitches, three big spikes.
[09.09.2024 04:46:53] LNS-Upheaval: I think it was
[09.09.2024 04:47:01] LNS-Upheaval: it didnt engage us until its friend showed up
[09.09.2024 04:47:17] LNS-Upheaval: Chased it from Cali-Ontario-Inverness
[09.09.2024 04:47:23] =LSF=Advocate-1: And thats the artillery. Damn near impossible to dodge on heavy ships.
[09.09.2024 04:47:40] LNS-Upheaval: And order cruiser showed up when we hit Ontario and we pursued into inverness
[09.09.2024 04:47:41] =LSF=Advocate-1: They're really weak on ther lower belly.
[09.09.2024 04:48:06] =LSF=Advocate-1: Order cruisers can be pretty awful too. They've got a pretty strong sensor system.
[09.09.2024 04:48:13] LNS-Upheaval: We lost contact there and had to scram quick. Technocracy didnt like us there to say the least.
[09.09.2024 04:48:38] =LSF=Advocate-1: Technocrats are enemies of Liberty. They're not going to like us anywhere.
-
[09.09.2024 04:51:37] =LSF=Advocate-1: I've got something on long range. I think our time here is up.
[09.09.2024 04:51:51] =LSF=Advocate-1: We can duck towards the Alberta gate debris field and use it as cover.
[09.09.2024 04:51:53] LNS-Upheaval: Got what you needed?
[09.09.2024 04:52:08] =LSF=Advocate-1: I got enough, that's for sure.
[09.09.2024 04:52:40] LNS-Upheaval: Well thats good enough.
[09.09.2024 04:52:54] LNS-Upheaval: We're going to send over our data and erase it.
[09.09.2024 04:53:03] =LSF=Advocate-1: Orilla is the current target. The debris field should be near there, and as long as we keep distance from the Lane Hackers-
[09.09.2024 04:53:06] =LSF=Advocate-1: -we should be in the clear.
[09.09.2024 04:53:28] LNS-Upheaval: Understood. We'll follow you in
[09.09.2024 04:53:45] =LSF=Advocate-1: Picking up a wreck. It's flashing technocrat colors.
[09.09.2024 04:54:09] =LSF=Advocate-1: Count three, we've got incoming.
[09.09.2024 04:54:11] LNS-Upheaval: Talking about the one at 11?
[09.09.2024 04:54:17] LNS-Upheaval: What the?
[09.09.2024 04:54:30] LNS-Upheaval: Oh shi- All hands General Quarters

[09.09.2024 04:57:06] =LSF=Advocate-1: Hah, should have expected.
[09.09.2024 04:57:16] =LSF=Advocate-1: Cruise engines. Towards the ice moon. No time to lose.
[09.09.2024 04:57:57] LNS-Upheaval: Looks like some sort of station off to the 11.
[09.09.2024 04:58:12] =LSF=Advocate-1: Should be the remains of the jumpgate.
[09.09.2024 04:58:22] =LSF=Advocate-1: We can investigate if you need the data.
-
[09.09.2024 04:59:01] LNS-Upheaval: Charted and updated.
[09.09.2024 04:59:02] =LSF=Advocate-1: Fort Severn, and the Alberta Gate.
[09.09.2024 04:59:18] =LSF=Advocate-1: The gate to Bretonia, the Cold Lake Project.
[09.09.2024 04:59:29] LNS-Upheaval: Ah, So thats what you were reffering.
[09.09.2024 04:59:31] =LSF=Advocate-1: We should be in the clear.
[09.09.2024 04:59:45] =LSF=Advocate-1: Don't get too far, the Lane Hacker base is nearby.
[09.09.2024 04:59:54] =LSF=Advocate-1: Don't want to run into an assassin.
[09.09.2024 05:00:13] LNS-Upheaval: Surprised we havent yet.
[09.09.2024 05:00:25] =LSF=Advocate-1: Ha ha, hey now, don't jinx us.
[09.09.2024 05:00:44] =LSF=Advocate-1: The Cold Lake project is what eventually became the Alaska Supergate.
[09.09.2024 05:01:02] =LSF=Advocate-1: Lot of classified stuff, but it's the pride and joy of Ageira, that's for sure.
[09.09.2024 05:01:36] LNS-Upheaval: Good for them I guess haha. Dont know how that keeps liberty safe.
[09.09.2024 05:01:59] =LSF=Advocate-1: Active projection. Bigger guns means less enemies.
[09.09.2024 05:02:20] =LSF=Advocate-1: Alright, from here, we can head towards Huron. Once there, its a straight shot back to the Lehigh.
[09.09.2024 05:02:31] LNS-Upheaval: Till they come back with something as big.
[09.09.2024 05:02:40] LNS-Upheaval: if not bigger.
[09.09.2024 05:03:06] =LSF=Advocate-1: Well, the last time someone tried that, Gallia met her match, and a Valor got parked in an LSF drydock for the rest of time.
[09.09.2024 05:03:34] =LSF=Advocate-1: Lets get moving before Lehigh sends a rescue team into that Technocrat ambush.
[09.09.2024 05:03:47] LNS-Upheaval: Roger
[09.09.2024 05:04:54] =LSF=Advocate-1: That right there is the wreck of Toronto, Ontario's former beating heart.
[09.09.2024 05:05:04] LNS-Upheaval: *pencil scribbling quietly talking to himself* Toronto...
[09.09.2024 05:05:25] =LSF=Advocate-1: Alright, from here, just hug the remains of the Lanes.
[09.09.2024 05:05:29] LNS-Upheaval: Charted, updated to Nav Map
[09.09.2024 05:06:39] =LSF=Advocate-1: Lehigh, man am I glad to see you.
[09.09.2024 05:07:42] =LSF=Advocate-1: The Jump Gate seems to be active for low power jumps. The Robert Peary command says you can test the tunnel strength.
[09.09.2024 05:07:59] =LSF=Advocate-1: If you want that is. Otherwise, we can head back to the jump hole and bug the Xenos again.
[09.09.2024 05:08:14] LNS-Upheaval: Haha. I guess there's a use for us after all.
[09.09.2024 05:08:52] =LSF=Advocate-1: The damage to the gate seems minimal. It's definitely running on low power, though.
[09.09.2024 05:09:18] LNS-Upheaval: If your guys say its good then I'll be willing to trust that.
[09.09.2024 05:09:30] =LSF=Advocate-1: Oh, never mind. Seems I'm dead wrong. Integrity scan shows that most of the white boxes were ripped out.
[09.09.2024 05:09:38] =LSF=Advocate-1: Probably Lane Hacker scavengers.
[09.09.2024 05:10:04] LNS-Upheaval: Good catch... *nervous laugh*
[09.09.2024 05:10:04] =LSF=Advocate-1: That's why the Robert Peary is here, huh... White box installations.
[09.09.2024 05:10:38] LNS-Upheaval: Wouldnt want Battlecruiser sized fragments getting hurled at California at lightspeed...
[09.09.2024 05:10:47] =LSF=Advocate-1: Jump hole is probably safest bet, ironically.
[09.09.2024 05:10:52] =LSF=Advocate-1: Give your gunnery a workout, eh?
[09.09.2024 05:11:13] LNS-Upheaval: Well, they're automated until I find new recruits.
[09.09.2024 05:11:40] LNS-Upheaval: They say it's "Self Learning" but I dont know about that.
[09.09.2024 05:12:08] LNS-Upheaval: Enough for the Rogue rabble in Pennsylvania. not so much for seasoned unlawfuls.
[09.09.2024 05:12:27] =LSF=Advocate-1: Well, it still relies on your reflexes, so I guess it gives you a workout.
[09.09.2024 05:12:43] =LSF=Advocate-1: Alright, one last waypoint, and we're home free.
-
[09.09.2024 05:14:23] =LSF=Advocate-1: Xenos marked. Lets get through before they call more.

-Jump Corridor-
[09.09.2024 05:18:56] LNS-Upheaval: Data is sent over neural net.
[09.09.2024 05:19:06] =LSF=Advocate-1: Roger. Lets get back to Los Angeles.
[09.09.2024 05:19:06] LNS-Upheaval: We're scrubbing out drives now
[09.09.2024 05:19:22] LNS-Upheaval: Course set
[09.09.2024 05:20:39] =LSF=Advocate-1: Right, Concord has confirmed our arrival.
[09.09.2024 05:21:23] =LSF=Advocate-1: A few snags, but overall a job well done.
[09.09.2024 05:21:55] =LSF=Advocate-1: I'm forwarding a stipend for your troubles.
[09.09.2024 05:22:13] =LSF=Advocate-1: Try and put it towards your energy system. I have a feeling we'll need dedicated pilots pretty soon.
[09.09.2024 05:22:23] [2024-09-09] 05:22:24 You have sent 200.000 credits to LNS-Upheaval.
[09.09.2024 05:22:58] LNS-Upheaval: Appreciate it. Maybe this'll change the minds of the supply guys and we can finally get a better Sensor suite.
[09.09.2024 05:23:33] =LSF=Advocate-1: I'll get this report filed. Don't have a good feeling about the entire situation.
[09.09.2024 05:23:42] LNS-Upheaval: Me either.
