Good day Admirals, this afternoon I was ordered to patrol New London system because several GRN vessels were picked up on our satellites scanners in the Leeds system. The crew performed excellently even though no danger was encountered. After 2 hours, the satellites confirmed the GRN vessels had moved into the Taus. We were delighted since none of the other officers ships were in fighting condition. Seems there was an issue with a rogue engineer.. Alas, we are re-fuelling at the moment and we intend to stand guard again once the 'Sentinel' is ready to go.
Miller out.

Good day Admirals *She sighs*.. It was a busy day today. It started off in a training exercise of which everyone seemed to have enhanced their fighting skills. Which is always good. I was then ordered out on a patrol to Dublin with Ensign Anthony Robson and a 'Sir' William Antioch joined us. It was all fine until we ran into a Molly force of 2 Fighters a Bomber and a Destroyer. Our small patrol was outnumbered so I went back to the Essex to call for reinforcements, luckily the 'Sentinel' was assigned to the Essex for a week. He set off and I stayed on the Essex as my ship's engine was playing up. When I flew back to the battle after the emergency engineers attended to my faulty engine I learnt that the 'Sentinel' had been destroyed and that the Molly Destroyer had fleed to patch up the holes in his vessel several times. Fortunately Bridge Officer Miller and his crew are all safe after a rescue team came to pick them up. After a long battle the Ensign had to pull out with William Antioch due to the holes in their ships. They went back to New London. I was on my own and the Mollies seemed to run away to Arranmore station. I was joined briefly with Lieutenant Commander Zoe Avant but she was called to assist the BPA with a pirate. For some odd reason the Essex command saw fit for a Dunkirk Battleship to be sent to dispatch the Mollies. Ensign Robson returned and we hunted them down. We picked up traces 20 clicks away from Arranmore Station and armed our weapons. We were once again faced witht he same force. We led them out of the field so that the 'Temeraire' could operate properly without asteroids smashing into her paintwork. After hours of fighting A second Dunkirk arrived on the scene, the infamous HMS-Kite. I retreated to re-fuel and have no intel on what happened apart from the fact that all of our vessels had been slaughtered.. In total 239 casualties aboard the HMS-Temeraire and 183 aboard the HMS-Kite. My thoughts lie with them all.
Once I was sent out again to send them to hell, the BPA had arrived with Lieutenant Commander Angus Graham to lend a hand. We managed to de-pressurise one of them. Unfortunately the BPA officer was shot down; we quickly tractored in his pod and fled to Battleship Essex. One of the Mollies followed but the others fled. We shot at the stalker (Molly that followed) and he eventually ran away, we believe his name was Blodwyn.O'Driscoll..
It wasn't over yet and we didn't get out the tea because the Royal Navy showed up to ruin the view. They followed the Lieutenant Commander into the New London system. I went through the New London Jump hole as one of their vessels was guarding the Jump Gate. Outwitted *She winks*. We met up at Southampton Shipyard a freelancer decided to join us along with another BPA officer. The two Royal Navy pilots attacked us and we targeted one of them and managed to run him low on his nanobots and shield batteries. Suddenly out of the blue, Lieutenant Commander Angus Graham blew up! We were outnumbered as another Gaul had shown up. Shortly after the Freelancer exploded.. The BPA officer seemed to drift away from me so the Gauls targeted me three against one.. I gave them hell and had one in flames before my ship was de-pressurised. Myself and Lieutenant Commander Angus Graham were collected by a rescue team sent from Battleship Suffolk.
That was my day summarised to the maximum *She smiles* I hope you are still awake. The guncams that weren't destroyed are uploading now. *She salutes and the screen turns black*

Good day Admirals, first of all I would like to thank you all for my recent promotion and I will continue to do what I have done before which was to do my best in all situations.
Now for my patrol brief. The Officers involved were Lieutenant Anthony Robson, BPA Vessels: Horizon.One, Jade Callahan and Waldorf Salad. There was also a few more Salad vessels: Ham.Salad and Salad.Suprise (Crecy).
First of all the BPA vessels came across a Synth Foods vessel carrying the wrong papers and trading illegally with them. Myself and Robson went to see what the issue was but simply let the BPA handle it as they specialise in that area.
After the illegal trader was dealt with we were contacted by the Armed Forces Satellite in orbit with Planet Leeds that a Valor class battleship was heading towards the New London Jump Hole. We quickly assembled a force of bombers and headed for the Leeds Jump Hole, while other pilots docked on stations to get into bomber classed vessels. The first three there was myself, Robson and 'Horizon.One'. We managed to intercept the Valor before it left for the Jumphole and quickly engaged it, after 10 minutes we had it down to no repairs and the other bombers had arrived to help finish it off. It took us another 5 minutes to puncture enough holes in it for it to de-pressurise. I have to say all of the pilots performed excellently out there and It was a pleasure flying with them.

Good day Admirals, It was a quick patrol and not a lot happened. Myself and my second in command of the 'Sentinel', Mr.Smith, arranged our tea cups in a different arrangement. I have to say they look rather marvellous. The crew performed well, which is unusual. Even the new engineer didn't break anything. I shall have to buy him a cup of tea.. Yes.. Maybe green.. Te-a.. Oh sorry. So yes a very productive day for the crew and of course the tea cups.

Subject:A Commanders' Disappearance
Salutations!
This is a report on the disappearance of Commander Arthur Thatcher.
We first grew suspicious of his absence after he stopped turning up to well, anything. It was common-knowledge among interviewees that Mr Thatcher was a drunkard, however, upon inspection of his favourite bars no evidence as to where he has gone has been found. We also found that he hadn't attended any of these bars for at least a month, which is suspicious because of his reputation as an alcoholic. As a side note, the beer served at these bars was of a high quality, I'd highly recommend them.
Later, we moved on to inspecting his housing and belongings for any evidence. His apartment was deserted and there were no signs of any recent activity there. Upon questioning the land owner, we found no further information, apart from that Mr Thatcher had not been seen for several weeks. The search of his belongings was also fruitless. I found however, that Mr Thatcher had acquired a substantial sum of credits. I, naturally, sent them immediately to my...I mean the BAFs' treasury, however they were mysteriously lost in transit. Also, Mr Thatchers' wine proved quite delicious; I took extra care when examining that.
A̶f̶t̶e̶r̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶w̶e̶ ̶g̶o̶t̶ ̶b̶o̶r̶e̶d̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶w̶e̶n̶t̶ ̶h̶o̶m̶e̶.̶ After that, we concluded that we could find no further information or clues as to where Mr Thatcher has gone, (or when, or why, or how) and so I advise that you just update the database and say he's dead. Nevermind, he was an idiot anyway.
Well, that's all we have on this case,
Thanks for your time.

Good day Admirals, I set out on my patrol today at 16:00 Hours (Sirius Mean Time). I had a brief chat with a Junker about scrap metal which was incredibly boring.. I say brief.. I kept it as brief as possible, but you know what these Junkers are like. I then travelled to Planet New London and enjoyed the view of the marvellous planet. Nothing happened only a few traders which were scanned and checked for contraband. It was coming up to 17:00 Hours so I decided to do a round trip of the system, again everything was quiet and calm. Which is good I suppose. I then headed back to Battleship York.
