Commodore Golanski was at High Command headquarters onboard Lisbon station. Checking through reports he received top priority call from one of Order operatives based on Gran Canaria.

...Fleet admiral D'Souza is missing, propably dead.

He was angry. Just yesterday they had a drink at one of bars at Toledo. Another one known to him lost, and he could not do anything about it. This was end of D'Souza, propably they will never find body or at least remnants to release to his brother on Crete for proper burial. After momenth of concetration he ordered to sent message to other members of high command. He decided to notify vice admiral himself.

Acting fleet admiral Robert D'Souza is reported missing in a Das Wilde ambush in Omega-49 system. Only few bodies were recovered by Zoners and we lost three Order wings in area. Unfortunately chances of his survival are slim and our recovery teams so far had found no sight of him. You as next in chain of command have responsibility to take lead of Order now. Good luck admiral Benford. Commodore Golanski out.

Fleet admiral lost, that had to make an serious impact on morale of the fleet. He was done here and went towards docking bays for his fighter.
