Sortie report,
Fleet Admirals Jones and Polstari, I trust nobody will protest if I make a habit of this. Meeting the enemy head-on in a battle of attrition with far more limited reinforcements than they could muster, we still came out of the engagement victorious, though the enemy is far from broken just yet. I've seen enough to have faith however, to know that at this rate what we want is all but an eventual reality, one that'll happen even in my stead.
P.F.C's Eik and Oh, I'm elevating you both to the ranks of Lieutenant, you've done good not just in my eyes but in the eyes of the people on the ground back at Guadalajara. In fact when it comes down to a skirmish between us and the naval forces, freelancers resort to betting on us rather than the boys in blue.
Corporate oligarchy is very last century, the fire of the people is the new trend-setter.
There is however one point that I wish to raise, for I feel I haven't been honest with my own people and I will never like or want to conceal facts from the very people responsible for me being elected. Don't mistake my forthcoming nature about this fact as a call for pity, I don't want it, I just want you aware rather than seeing my solidarity called into question much later.
Approximately three months ago, the one person who kept me running behind the scenes was mercilessly gunned down far outside the Libertonian border and without so much as a chance for goodbyes. I won't mince my words, I do feel grief, a lot of it. But her demise has taught me one thing, not to do the fact that I'm still breathing a disservice. This is the reason I've made this particular broad-cast entirely public to the population back home.
No, I'm not the most perfect official that's ever been elected into power by the Commonwealth. But I'm never turning my back on anyone beside me, and neither should anyone abandon the people alongside them. I'll be damned the day I'm not doing the people justice.
