Fleet Admiral Hale, Sir. This is First Lieutenant Alex Melnikov, Libertonian Marine Corps, attached to Captain Baker's 237th Strike Flotilla. I have dire news to report, there was a major political incident tonight, and something I'd say is damn near a declaration of war.

Captain Baker was aboard a Kusari Luxury Yacht, in orbit of Manhattan tonight, attempting to bring a Samuran director by the name of Kaido Marahu, into protective custody. Mister Marahu believed that, due to a conversation he'd had with Captain Baker, his life would be in danger if he returned to Kusari. At least that is my understanding of all this...but I digress.

The point is that while Captain Baker was aboard the Yacht, a Kusari destroyer showed up in Manhattan space and began accosting the Yacht, which was, apparently disabled already. The Kusari destroyer was a Kempeitai warship, whose captain accused mister Marahu of betraying Kusari, shortly before a second Kempeitai warship disengaged it's cloaking device and opened fire on the Yacht, destroying it within seconds. A firefight broke out shortly thereafter, between forces of the Liberty Navy Secondary and Primary Fleets, and the Kempeitai warships. One was destroyed and one managed to escape.

Shortly afterward, I, aboard the Liberty Logistics Ship Crystal Lake, began Search and Rescue operations, looking for escape pods. I found the pod containing both Director Kaido, and Captain Baker. It was severely damaged, and when the crew managed to free them from it, it was discovered that the two of them were in critical condition.

Kaido and the Captain were both transferred to the Medical facilities aboard the Secondary Fleet Dreadnought LNS Arbitrator, where surgery was commenced to treat their wounds and stabilize them...

This is all way over my head, I'm just a Marine!...but they're both (Captain Baker and Director Marahu) in critical, yet stable condition.

I...Sir, I want to know what to do! I want to know what WE, the Navy, are going to do! We can't let this go unpunished! Foreign warships nearly killing a Naval Officer, in her own space!?

I...just, it's too much, Sir...I've said all I can...I'll let Commander Sanders fill you in on the rest of the details..

Good day.

I can confirm that Captain Rachel Baker and Samura Director Kaido Marahu are presently both on board the LNS Arbitrator. We brought them aboard on a shuttle shortly after the incident with the Kusari assailant; unfortunately, our vessel was not there for the actual attack. As stated previously, we have provided medical attention to both parties. Doctor Tobias Hendrix is in attendance to both of them, and as of the time of this message they are both stable and on life support in the infirmary.

We will await orders from the primary fleet in regard to further action that we shall take. Doctor Hendrix advises that neither patient is in any state to be moved, and that they will both require extensive time to recover. However, once they have both recovered sufficiently, we will report their status. We will continue to monitor them and update you on their recovery.

Averill out.

Mister Kazuya, my name is Captain Andrea Ericksson, I'm in charge of the security operations underway in the Kepler system, I'm fully briefed on the details of the situation up to this point. You are cleared to bring your equipment into the hospital, however two conditions apply.

The first condition is this, The ship which brought the medical supplies to Manhattan is to be inspected by a Security Team from Manhattan Central Starport before the cargo is unloaded.

The Second condition is this, The medical equipment will be transported to Jacobi Critical Care Center under escort by a small detachment of Marines, and of course, your medical team will remain under escort as well.

I hope you'll continue to understand our need for such high security.
