(Ensign Woods)..........Sir?..........
(Gov. OsoRojo) Yes Ensign.
(EW) We made contact with LNS-RedBear and they have taken station within orbit of Richmond. They are asking for more details.
(Gov.) Crap.....I wish I had more to go on before issuing any directives. Overall, tell Admiral RedBear I only have a feeling, but nothing more. Send my compliments to Admiral RedBear and suggest he maintain a patrol route between Cali-Tex jump holes until comms can be restored.
(EW) Aye, aye, sir!
(Gov.) Thank the Void RedBear is here. Comms on the fritz for unknown reason and garbled comms from DOD and TACCOM lead me into a feeling of unease. What the Frakk is going on out there!

"Scram reactor shutdown"
What the hell? Damnit, guess I gotta go to emergency comms.
This is Lt. Mark Kaine, of the Southern Alliance. Requesting help immediately. Reactor scrammed on me, and I'm stuck on emergency power. I have ..... 5 hours before I run out. Mayday, Mayday.

Where is everybody? There's never been a time when the Emergency Channel's not been monitored. Aw, well, *switches transponder to 5500, international emergency code* that should wake them up.

From Porter to SACC
Got it, will donate 100mil.

In the State Room aboard the LNS Sacramento...
"Look Caleb, I'm sorry but I'm going to need at least 150 mil more this month. Possibly more." said the admiral into the comm unit.
"Damn it Derek, my crews are overworked as it is. And you keep putting in orders for more funds! This @#&* don't grow on trees. It's getting harder to get through the passage and the Corsairs are demanding more and more in taxes, we just can't keep up. What the hell do you need it for?" came the angry reply from the harried man on the screen. It was obvious he hadn't been getting much sleep.
"You know I can't..." Derek began but was immediatly cut off again.
"Don't the Navy pay for all this crap? I mean what the *#%$@! are they doing that you need to harrass me for more credits. A pause. "This is insane!"
"Alright Caleb, calm down!" the admirals tone left no question about it. "I need more credits. Period." then his toned sofened. "I know you have been working doubletime and I appriciate it, I really do. Would it help if I sent an escort down to help out?"
The man on the screen sighed "Maybe, I don't know. Can you even do that?"
"I think that I can arrange that. I am after all the Govenor." Derek smiled. "I'll dispatch, unofficially of course, a fighter to provide escort. And you'll be getting the standard deal. 15% yield on investment." he finished.
"I'd like to actually see some of those "yields." grumbled Caleb. "You'll have your money in two days. Oh and send down that Scotch you owe me this time. Make it a double."
"Will do, Caleb. And hey take care of yourself will ya." said Derek
"You too "Admiral". You too." and with that the screen went dark.

Re: Harrison Gurney
Sir, we believe that we have found Captain Gurney's body. Since you were the last to see him, we would like you to identify him.
If you were aware of any specific body markings? Those could help, as the facial features are no longer distinguishable.
We believe that Captain Gurney was killed by the implosion of his cockpit after he picked up a distinctive signal emanating from the Colorado System.

Dear Governors,
My name is Henry Epps, and I am due to arrive at Richmond in around one week. I have been instructed by Liberty, the President's office, and the Department of Defense to take temporary control over the tumultous situation that seems to have enveloped the South Alliance.
I hope that with cooperation, we will succeed. At the moment, I have replace the South Alliance Tactical Command Department. The 300 specialists who make up the department have been reassigned to Juneau.
With Best regards,
Sincerely,
Henry Epps

Admiral. Due to the current threats that seem to have been fired at your direction, we are assigning body guards to you.
You will be notified of them once they arrive.
We would also appreciate it if you could give Mr. Seldon a promotion. He has served Liberty well.
ooc: Could someone make me a pretty small SA sig thingy? Like... about as big as my HF one. Also, do i keep my rank of Lt.? Or do i switch to ensign?
Comm ID: Lt. Mark Kaine
This is Kaine. I was able to restart my reactor, but I neglected to install that flash memory for my main computer. All my systems are wiped. Only the comms work, and I had to manually type in the frequency. I need rescue operations in the near future. My engines are shot, and shield is barely functioning. It goes down from the occassional asteroid that is gravitating around my Avenger. I can only wait for you S&R ops. Good hunting. Kaine out.
ooc: 1st if we discuss what just happen at Houston, it shall only be by PM understood. No flaming!

We are starting from scratch, but, thankfully, the technicians have finished. Overall, our readiness is good, but there is always room for improvement. We look forward to working with you.
