Right having been informed that a Gaul Cruiser was in Leeds which got the Police all up and Running I jumped into my Figher and got out to see what was actually going on.

When I managed to contact the BPA they where already in New London seemingly showing that Gaul the sights and whatnot, trying to keep the damage at a minimum I made my way there as fast as possible.

But it seemed like Inspector Page had it under control and always kept a loaded Nova aimed at that Gaul.

Just as I wanted to ask a few questions Storm Captain of the HMS-Vindicator called in that Leeds was under attack from a few Capital Ships of the GRN.

I couldn't leave the Frog in New London and head to leeds so I transfered command to Storm and the BPA that was at the scene.
I heard over the comms that they killed all Gauls and didn't have any casualties on our side.

Either way, long Story very short the Gaul with the name "Tim" surrendered his ship and is now sitting in a interrogation Cell aboard the Suffolk awaiting further questioning.

The Boarding Crew sent in from the Suffolk didn't find any tracking devices on the Ship itselfe and disconnected the Core from the ship.
It's now being hauled to Southamton for a more detailed search and analysis of the Ship itselfe.

Also I told the BPA that all further Prisoners of war, deserters and anything similar to that that come from Gallia are to be brought to the York first.

Since we don't wanto make it even easier for them to get into New London with their Ships.

Havering signing off.

Good Morning Sir!

Here is my mission report for 19 December 820 A.S.



First off may I say how disheartened I am to hear that Commander Goodman, Commander Arland and the men under their commands have deserted.

There are times when an officer may disagree with their superiors, but you do not voice it in the mission debrief and you certainly do not tell Her Majesty that she can “screw it!”

You can be assured that the men and women of the Derwent understand our oath and duty to the Crown; these deserters have brought dishonour on the Service, they should have resigned their commissions!

Anyway my report, sir. The Derwent was still undergoing a shake down in Salisbury when we received an all stations call for assistance in the Leeds system, a GRN Fleet had been spotted coming from under the sun, (so much for Commander Goodmans Black Op’ tactics!).

Strangely, very few ships responded to the call for assistance, this misconduct of the deserters has damaged moral, nobody from the 5th Fleet acknowledge the transmission.

We immediately departed for Leeds and rendezvoused with the Pestilence and the Lolax from the 242nd Group.

BPA Inspectors Hone and Page assisted with spotting for us and we engaged the Fleet in the Trade Lanes near Durham Border station; Communications were being jammed by the GRN so we could not contact the York to call for fighter backup.

Sadly the crew of the Derwent are very young and inexperienced, they fought valiantly, but were outnumbered 3 to 1 and the gunners could not shoot down all the torpedoes, the Derwent engines took a direct hit, we lost power and life support was failing; I had to order all hands to abandon ship.

The last I saw of the Derwent , she was drifting near Durham station, hopefully she can be recovered and towed to Southampton for repairs.

We lost 3 hands in the Engine room and 42 are seriously injured with radiation burns; the command crew only suffered some cuts and bruises, our pride has been hurt more.

This concludes my report.

Good day to you Sir!

Id: Ian Driscoll Commodore.
To: Armed forces pencil pushers.
Subject: Mandatory report.

Goodmorning another time consuming effort to send the paper pushers a report. At first i want to thank the admirals for the trust they put into me and promoted me to commodore and put me in charge of the Suffolk fleet. I'll promise we will do our best to keep our surroundings save. Next week we will start mandatory drills again to get on our peek efficiency.

Did a short patrol last night to see iff my templar still would fly together with the captains Havering and Barnes we encountered a single freelancer named Lyla.Linn, man did she show us what true fighter pilot skills are. It made me clear i should stick to my bomber and not hope for a career as fighter ace....
[Some people are good]

On a side note, do not expect me to jump on the bridge of a capital ship soon, as bomber pilot i don't see the value in them, give me a good squadron of bombers and most big vessels will flee.
