After First Triumvacy Wulfe O'Donnel's encounter with Crome, we met outside the Connecticut Jump Hole.

We formed up on each other and headed for Pennsylvania for repairs.

Somehow, Crome managed to get a jump on us by using his, advanced escape pod and acquiring a new Navy Gunboat. We had no choice but to engage.

Sadly, Crome had no honor, he called upon other Navy Forces in the New York System to join in.

Macky and Coryn hailed us, and asked for our location to provide support.

It was a good thing that Commander O'Donnel noticed that Crome had the improper ID and clearance to fly a Navy Vessel. He was able to contact one of our informants to relay the information to the higher ups.

After a few minutes, Crome's ship was apprehended by the higher up officials known as the A.D.M.I.N.S. and was towed to the Bastille.

Unfortunately, He was able to escape once again using his modified ejection pod. He traveled back to Connecticut and assumed his identity known as ROUGE.

Commander O'Donnel, Coryn and I returned to Pennsylvania for much needed repairs. This is where we encountered Macky who wanted to pursue his old friend.

He disobeyed a direct order from me and headed out to the Connecticut System where he would engage ROUGE.

I would like to recommend his immediate suspension from the smuggling wing for a period of one or two weeks. This will teach him a lesson and help him recover from the wounds he sustained while trying to escape from the [LR]Fortress.

I would also like to commend recruit Coryn Seth for his courage under fire. The SoP forces in New York clearly were at a disadvantage. Numerous lawful fighters and gunboats surrounded us. Yet, Coryn was unafraid and attempted to provide enforce and escort Commander O'Donnel's gunboat. Though he could use a little more practice. I recommend him to be promoted to the rank of Enforcer in the Pirating Wing once he completes his Recruit Missions.

I have returned from my encounter with the lost son Rouge in the Connecticut System.

He was piloting an impressive, fully armed and armored ROC bomber. I don't know how he was able to acquire one so quickly. I've been thinking about this, the only explanation is that he already has a fleet of craft that he would be using against us. It may be possible that he is already starting his own faction that will go against us.

During our battle he kept asking me to join him. I denied him his request which only seemed to anger him more. However, he did mention that he would go to his allies, the Lane Hackers.

On the way back to Niverton, I contacted several of our informants to find and relay any information about this rumor. It might be best if we keep our eyes and ears peeled. If this is indeed true, there may be a link between the Black Moon, Lane Hackers and Crome. As they all call us traitors.

Though he was skilled, I was able to dispatch him easily. It seemed that he was more skilled in operating his old Barghest than he was with the Roc.

I was unable to catch his escape pod as it jumped out of the system.

I know that I disobeyed direct orders from Taskmaster Joaquin and Commander O'Donnel. Should the Triumvirate deem it worthy to punish me, I shall accept it. However, I do ask the Triumvirate to understand that he was my friend. Without him, I would never have become a pirate or would I have joined the Sons of Plunder.

I understand Macky. It seems like with your reputation amonst us we can take the punishment a bit off. % days suspension gathering Navy pilots and selling them should be good. Transfer half profits to our off shore account S.S.Underwood. And yes, once Coryn finishes his mission, i will personally sponsor him for enforcer.

It has been days, still no word from Macky. I'm worried. If anyone knows anything, let me know.

I checked all of his previous transmissions and there seems to be something about Connecticut. I decided to investigate.

I docked the Blind Eye at Rochester and purchased a Collector so that I could get into the System unnoticed.

I named her dusk and jumped into Connecticut. As soon as I got in, I was greeted my a navy pilot named Mercenary. He was flying a fully armed Guardian.

It seemed like he was protecting something in the system. I wasn't allowed to proceed any further. He started a conversation and told me that Crome paid him 34000000 credits to kill anyone with the [sop] badge.

He engaged me and it didn't turn out so well.

The Dusk was badly damaged in the fight and had sprung a coolant leak. Though I wanted to check the system for any information about Macky's whereabouts, I couldn't continue. I had to return to Rochester for repairs.

I'm going to head back in there on the Blind Eye once I get some sleep. I don't care who the hell is standing guard. I think the answers to my questions are in that system. I'm going to send anyone that gets in my way straight to hell!

If Crome is able to pay Liberty Navy pilots, i think things will be a little bit more difficult for us.

If anyone else decides to check the system before I do, I'll appreciate the help. Please report anything that you find here.

Thanks,

Crome ruined a trap i had set for someone, and he engaged me. We fought for awhile, but our two ships are pretty equal, so i broke off, it was taking way too long. Next time he wont get away so easily...
