[font=Garamond]Good day admirality,
Reporting about today's patrol in Dublin. I undocked from Essex after I had quaffed off my coffee too darn quickly. I flew towards the BMM Gold Field, where I joined up with Lieutenant Commander Sinclair and Ensign Alex Clarke. I saw an utterly ugly ship there, I was not able to collect decent sensor data about it. Its form of communication was strange as well. I was actually quite confused as it just left. Anyways, this was not an issue at all... As I continued my patrol, I soon spotted an Outcast fighting a Coalition fighter. As I rarely live to attend to such situations, I just enjoyed the show until several Mollys showed up in the area. As Ensign Clark and Captain Clay arrived, Clark and me were ordered to clean up with the Mollys. Quite a success. We could destroy one Wolfhound during his failed attempt to run back to his lair. The other Mollys could be either pushed back or blasted during the combat. The Outcast did his job as well, the Commie eventually got his fancy ship shot off his butt, too. Once more, a swift and speedy cleanup in Dublin.
In service to the Queen and the Homeland,
[font=Edwardian Script ITC]L. Cooper

Just after skirmish at Dublin mentioned in report 2408201201 by Ensign Layla Cooper, our CO, Captain John Clay received a distress call directily from Battleship Derby, reporting unknown number of Kusari forces, as time was of the essence, we've taken a shortcut through a Leeds Jump Hole, and catched two Hogosha fighters offguard, as none of our front line fighters had cruise disruptors, they believed they could escape our vengeance, to their suprise, we disrupted trade lane as they began docking procedure, giving rest of our squadron including cruise disruptor equipped Templar to pin them down. Captain Clay believed that this is wonderful chance to let Ensigns, me and Layla Cooper, prove our worth, and gave us permission to open fire while holding rest of the squadron (Lieutenant Ree and Jones.Cloo) back. Once i scored a direct torpedo hit, resulting in decomissioning of enemy fighter, Lieutenant Ree withdrawed me from battle, giving Cooper chance to score a kill as well.
Unexpectedly, another Hogosha fighter showed up, and proceeded to assist, Captain Clay Sent Jones Cloo to assist Cooper, when second Hogosha fighter had to eject after Cooper's burst, Captain tried to withdraw him, to allow another 1v1 fight, the Hogoshan kept attacking Cooper, and it gave her no choice but to continue battle, Hogosha fighter fought fiercerly and after a few minutes Captain Clay grown impatient and ordered both fighters to withdraw, as he intended to finish him off himself, as there were 3 other pilots to assist Captain Clay, I volunteered to watch over the Leeds blockade, and just as I reached the Leeds end of trade lane, an IMG transport hauling 3000 units of Light Arms attepmted to breach the blockade, I barely managed to disrupt the trade lane in time, and ordered him to hold, after a quick talk I called for Lieutenant Ree help with the case, as transport pilot appeared to be unaware of his crime, Lieutenant Ree ordered him to drop his cargo, destroyed it, and proceeded to fine the trader for 2.000.000 credits, whose he transferred to me to bring them to our Armory, then he proceeded back into skirmish with last Hogosha fighter, which still survived the Captain's onslaught, started to really annoy the Captain, and ordered one of our fighters to assist him, but somehow (my sensors could not register the situation as I remained at Leeds blockade), he managed to escape past Stokes.
Ens. Cooper and Jones Cloo have taken some damage during patrol of both Dublin and Leeds, and had to retreat to Derby to retreat, rest of squadron (Captain Clay, Lieutenant Ree and me) we re-entered Dublin, and splitted into two groups, Lieutenant Ree patrolled north half of system, while I and Captain Clay sweeped over south, we haven't found any hostiles, and rejoined at racing circle, we've decided to kill some time so Captain Clay and me had a one lap race, (which I won), and seconds after we passed finish line, SCRA fighters appeared on monitor, and we proceeded to engage, it was a 3v3 combat, unfortunately my IFF malfunctioned, and caused Hood to randomly firing at me, and since battle took place just below Hood deck, I had to eject, followed by rest of my squad in face of outnumbering enemy forces.

Fleet Admiral Sir Jack Fraser,
With your permission, I volunteer for this job. Yes, I know it won't be like a stroll around my garden there on Cambridge, but I am willing to take the risk.
For the Queen, For Bretonia.
Clay out.

Admiral Sir Fraser,
Today I took part of Leeds Defence Fleet in to small but strong patrol right in to the asteroid ring of LD-14. Our formation consisted of three battleships, Sheffield, Victorious and Dauntless, and two bomber escorts.
Our operation was separated in to three sub missions, which we finsihed right before minutes.
- We scouted the LD-14 asteroid field and we sent the escort ships to check the defenses of the station. I can assaure you they were not updating their security for over a week, which lead me to the thought they may lure us in to a trap. If we try to recapture this station we must be prepared for the worst and to have a plan B.
- We checked the battleship York defenses and supplied it with food and war materials. It happened that the captain of York had it's prison cells full, so our three battleships took an impressive ammout of prisoners, cruiser commanders, gunboat captains and few fleet admirals, which were transported later to Newgate Prison station.
- The commander of the Newgate recruited few thousand crewmembers for leeds defense fleet, so it was a good coincidence that we were right there to take them on board and transport them to planet Leeds where our operation ended.
That is all I can report for now.

Hail, Ladies and Gentlemen, Sirs ans Ma'ams.
At first, my special thanks to Sir Piett, for emptying the imprisonment cells on the York. Also, a few Merchant Navy ships made it through the barrier, delivering ship hulls and replacement weapons to the York. We were though able to repair almost all of the damages taken recently.
All scanners are online, no hostile movements to see yet.
I am glad to be able to report the York's status as:
Fully operative.
I am also preparing to gather a team, consisting of 6 platoons of Royal Marines, for the outstanding operation. Planning phase will be completed, we will be awaiting your command, Admiral Sir Fraser.
With all hail, in everlasting faith of her glorious majesty
Commodore Sir Finlay O'Dukes, Lord Hamilton
