With the recent treaty signed between the Liberty Admiralty and our own Admiralty, the Invictus and it's crew have begun humanitarian missions for the refugee camps on Leeds, by bringing selected personnel on board and taking them to Planet Pittsburgh in the New York System.

However, the other night we had an incident within the refugee quarters of the ship. A Marine, Sergeant Ashley Vickers, was overpowered and wounded by a refugee and her weapon taken by the same person. This happened in orbit of Manhattan while the Invictus was being held up by Liberty Navy forces, apparently they hadn't all gotten the memo.

I ordered a deployment of a small Marine Fireteam to deal with the situation in the refugee quarters, while I stayed in the CIC to deal with the Liberty vessels.

The fire-team was commanded by Lieutenant Commander Tyrone Watson, the Invictus' Second in Command. With my authorization, the Marines moved in and apprehended the gunman, who managed to get off a couple of shots before being overwhelmed, and essentially incapacitated.

However, it wasn't without a couple of casualties, as I stated earlier Sergeant Ashley Vickers was wounded but has made a speedy recovery and is back on duty, however... Warrant Officer First Class David Riley took two rounds to the chest and is in the infirmary as we speak, thankfully he was wearing his combat vest.

On the return trip home, I was informed that the prisoner we had taken into custody woke up. It turns out he was a Gallic sleeper agent whose assignment was to find out where our Refugee's were heading. I also took the liberty of turning him over to the Bretonian Intelligence Service, they can deal with him...

Name: Austin Rodney Goodman
Rank: Commander
Serial ID: 394-231-402
Current Deployment: 8th Fleet, The York
Desired Relocation: 1st Fleet (Planet New London); 3rd Fleet (Planet Cambridge); or 5th Fleet (The Battleship Suffolk)

Reason:

I'm requesting temporary re-assignment from the front-lines for personal reasons that I will not currently disclose. However, I will continue to provide logistical command over Armed Forces ships deployed to the front lines from the Combat Information Centre on board the Invictus.

So... apparently the damn Yanks have a Gallic Valor, designated the LNS-Normandie. Now, I can understand the advantages of having a capital ship like that in your arsenal, but what I can't... fathom... is why the hell would the Liberty Navy send a Gallic Valor into Bretonian space without giving us a heads up first?

I was on patrol, along with Admiral Davis, and neither one of us were informed about it's entrance into Liberty, until the Invictus and Lieutenant Commander Tyrone - prior to me taking full command - spotted the vessel.

While no shots were fired, I do not regret my actions. If Liberty wants to pull that sort of stunt, I don't give a damn about their support in this war. We've held strong this long without Yank support, we can hold longer and eventually win.

Goodman here,

Prior to my untimely demotion for something I still frankly see stupid and pathetic, as it was a lack of clear communication somewhere down the line, either between Liberty and Bretonia, or our High Command and our Mid-Command.

Recently, I was personally contacted by a Royal Navy pilot who was planning on defecting from her post in the Gallic Royal Navy and seek political asylum from Gallia with Bretonia - as well as citizenship through Military Service.

She contacted me over private communications giving me a meeting location and then again over the same communications to give me the go ahead when she was ready on leaving.

The mission was staged earlier today with Captain Blair, Lieutenant Commander Arland, Ensign Davenport and myself. I'm happy to say it went off without a hitch and with orders from Admiral Davis, I've already started helping her into Bretonian society. Will be getting her a civilian ship so she can provide some combat help during her wait and get use to working with us before she puts the uniform on.

The decision not to inform high command about this operation until after she was safely in our hands was mine and mine alone. I've put myself and my friends at risk getting her here, so I'm going to take full responsibility for her.

Admiralty has a Rheinland national in it who sought political asylum, and we had a Kusari Naval Officer who defected during the war with Kusari. With that, I'm going to request the following... and I'm not taking no for an answer.

I request:


She has earned my trust, which is hard to do if you know who I am, and I generally don't go out of my way to help someone I barely trust. I've already informed her multiple times that if she betrays my trust, or Bretonia, she wouldn't have to worry about the Gallic's getting her.
