I cannot believe this. You can't be serious! You are telling me that someone can attack a convoy on the trade lane, disable the escorts, get away with the transport and none of the patrols were quick enough to react?
Sir, the patrols were sent as soon as possible. They were gone before we cou-
Quiet! I should have you questioned for treason! Are you aware how big of a loss this is? Hundreds of people confirmed missing, who knows where they are right now. I want every available patrol to search for them, it'll be your head that goes down first if they fail.
Sir, I'm sorry but we had no chance. Our patrols got shot down before we could do anything, I was the only one that managed to escape. The trade lane between Hiroshima and Narita has restricted access, it's used much less than the others. Patrols don't cover it unless ordered.
I'm aware, you idiot! There were patrols I assigned personally to guard the route, yet somehow they were too late. Tell me you have an answer to this.
I-I don't know. The job was clearly done by professionals - exactly 10 minutes in and out, just before we could reach them. They must've had intel from inside about movement of the convoy. They assaulted it as the patrols were next to Narita and created a diversion to stall the reinforcements there. I'm still not sure who we're dealing with.
I know what I'm dealing with. Incompetence. If we have a leak, I'll personally remove every bone from his body before feeding him to the dogs! That crew was vital for reinforcements in Sigma-21. It's why they were being redirected from Kure to Yukawa in the first place. as Yukawa is the closest shipyard to the war zone. What's the aftermath?
4 Chimaeras destroyed, 1 Passenger Liner along with at least 300 crew missing. The attackers' numbers are unknown but an estimate is around 10 fighter escorts with 1 transport. The transport approached our Liner and breached it through planting bombs before assaulting the ship. The crew was overwhelmed quickly and had no choice but to surrender at which point hijackers gained control of the ship. They flew somewhere towards the southeast part of the asteroid field.
The Narita diversion had only 3 fighters, all of which got destroyed by our forces. They knew they were going to die and still never looked like stopping.
That's it? You're telling me you didn't even try to stop the escaping transport? How did they get so close without anyone seeing them?
Sir, the asteroid field provided cover for their snubs. We couldn't see them until it was too late, they disrupted the lane as the transport was passing through it meaning scouts were ahead of the encounter. Only after we dealt with the diverting snubs did we run back as fast as possible just to see them already escaping. They were out of our cruise disruptor range. And you know about the protocol of not leaving the lanes inside that asteroid field due to pirate activ-
Yes, I know! Are you trying to lecture me? I'm the one that put you there because I had faith in you, not this. This is madness. I want that transport found, they couldn't have gotten too far.
Yes Sir.
And I'll personally investigate the whole matter before I lose my head. If I find you guilty for this, you will be tried. We're done here.
