Salve, qui Roberto Barbero, pilota del QC|"Aosta", Mender Repair Ship. Today, while I was about to leaving the base, I've received a weird system call from Malta's orbit: "Liutenant Jack Barnes, of Bretonian Armed Forces".
The Radio Control was both worried and surprised, "Che fa un Bretoniano qui?". So I reached the orbit as soon as I could.
At first I saw about 3 ships. This "Jack Barnes", on his VHF, transponder name LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.), next to BAF|HMS-Resolution, I think a Bretonian Interdictor, and Tall.Napoleon a Gallic VHF. This one was trying to escape.
The bretonians weren't aware of where they were, and they asked the system name. The hull of the HMS-Resolution was damaged, they seemed to come from a war zone. After informing them that they were in Maltese territory, I asked why did they ended up in Alpha. Meanwhile QC|"Esmeralda", QC|Michael.Rodrigues, and MNS-UMBRAGE reached us.
The bretonian commanders stated that due to the Gallics' desperate move, they've been involved in something like a blind jump that brought them to Malta, while they were fighting in Leeds: a Gallic BS ignited the Jump drive, carrying itself, a VHF and the bretonians, but there were also other forces. Once arrived the HMS-Resolution managed to destroy the Gallic BS anyway.
Cmdr of "Esmeralda" and Michael Rodrigues dealt with the bretonians about the situation.
Meanwhile, IRMM~Shadowwalker successfully knocked down the gallic vhf.
Once repaired the damaged hull of the bretonian capital ship, we were trying to find the best route to let them get back to Bretonia, but suddenly MNS-SHADOW appeared, (deactivating his Cloaking device).
The commander offered to use his ship equipped of a Jump Drive, to let them get back in Bretonia.
Once jumped, I returned to the base.
[31.08.2019 22:09:40] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): This is the Lieutenant Commander Jack Barnes of the Bretonian Armed Forces calling on any frequency, does anyone read?
[31.08.2019 22:09:57] Tall.Napoleon: I read you.
[31.08.2019 22:10:05] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): Fuck off gaul.
[31.08.2019 22:10:05] QC|"Aosta": B: This is Roberto Barbero, I read you
[31.08.2019 22:10:15] BAF|HMS-Resolution: Eva: Commander Flameheart here, I read you.
[31.08.2019 22:10:25] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): *he gasps* Thank god. Where the hell are we!?

[31.08.2019 22:11:17] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): Well, could be worse.

[31.08.2019 22:12:33] BAF|HMS-Resolution: Eva: To all Bretonian and Liberty ships, this is Commander Flameheart. RVP is Planet Malta, RVP is Planet Malta, over.
[31.08.2019 22:12:35] MNS-UMBRAGE: ~Following, are we?
[31.08.2019 22:12:46] QC|"Esmeralda": Rojas: What in the hell?
[31.08.2019 22:12:49] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): A crazy ass Gallic move of despiration.
[31.08.2019 22:13:04] BAF|HMS-Resolution: Eva: *Sigh* He is right.
[31.08.2019 22:13:08] MNS-UMBRAGE: ~He is mine~
[31.08.2019 22:13:08] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): One minute we were fighting in Leeds, this Gallic Battleship barrels down into our formation...
[31.08.2019 22:13:19] MNS-UMBRAGE: ~I will murder tha pleb~
[31.08.2019 22:13:19] BAF|HMS-Resolution: Eva: And now we're here.
[31.08.2019 22:13:20] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): And then, a flash! We're here.
[31.08.2019 22:13:30] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): Don't worry about the Battleship, it was taken care of.
[31.08.2019 22:13:35] QC|"Esmeralda": Rojas: Who is getting murdered?
[31.08.2019 22:13:42] QC|"Aosta": B: Interesting
[31.08.2019 22:13:44] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): A Gallic fighter.
[31.08.2019 22:14:09] QC|"Esmeralda": Rojas: Well thats some sport for you I suppose
Shadowwalker starts chasing the gallic vhf
[31.08.2019 22:14:12] IRMM~Shadowwalker: Get here you piece of sh*t
[31.08.2019 22:14:22] IRMM~Shadowwalker: Charging weapons
[31.08.2019 22:14:27] IRMM~Shadowwalker: Target locked
[31.08.2019 22:14:42] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): I'd support, however this fat bitch of a bomber won't fare too well.
[31.08.2019 22:14:48] Tall.Napoleon: I doubt target is locked from that distance.
[31.08.2019 22:14:49] IRMM~Shadowwalker: GET HERE
[31.08.2019 22:14:55] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): Besides, my munitions are spent.
[31.08.2019 22:15:01] QC|"Esmeralda": Rojas: Was it just Bretonian Forces jumped?
[31.08.2019 22:15:17] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): There were other vessels, but we have lost track of them.
[31.08.2019 22:15:25] BAF|HMS-Resolution: Eva: *Sigh*
[31.08.2019 22:15:27] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): They may have already made their way out of the system.
[31.08.2019 22:15:58] QC|"Esmeralda": Rojas: Other forces? Where from?
[31.08.2019 22:16:15] BAF|HMS-Resolution: Eva: From Leeds.
[31.08.2019 22:16:21] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): Our forces.

[31.08.2019 22:16:35] QC|Michael.Rodrigues: Oh, Royal Navy officer, whatcha doin' here?
[31.08.2019 22:16:44] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): The Gallics were dispatched as aforementioned. Except that single fighter that one of yours is chasing...
[31.08.2019 22:16:51] QC|"Esmeralda": Torres: I meant the forces nationality
[31.08.2019 22:17:01] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): Ah. *he coughs* Bretonian.
[31.08.2019 22:17:22] QC|"Esmeralda": Rojas: That is uh...reeassuring..
[31.08.2019 22:17:22] QC|Michael.Rodrigues: If you ever need me, Shadowwalker, just let me know.
[31.08.2019 22:18:30] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): Resolution, what does the textbook say about situations like this? Do we have anything that covers it?
[31.08.2019 22:18:31] QC|Michael.Rodrigues: I'm off to Malta, good luck with your fight.
[31.08.2019 22:18:53] BAF|HMS-Resolution: Eva: No, actually.

[31.08.2019 22:19:33] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): *he lets out a long drawn sigh*
[31.08.2019 22:19:37] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): Could've been worse eh?
[31.08.2019 22:19:38] QC|Michael.Rodrigues: How did you end up in the middle of Omicron alpha?
[31.08.2019 22:20:02] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): Baguette wielding snail riding cheese munchers.
[31.08.2019 22:20:09] Death: Tall.Napoleon was put out of action by IRMM~Shadowwalker (Gun).
[31.08.2019 22:20:12] QC|"Aosta": B: *laughs*
[31.08.2019 22:20:18] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): *he smirks*
[31.08.2019 22:20:21] IRMM~Shadowwalker: USELESS WANKERS!
[31.08.2019 22:20:23] QC|Michael.Rodrigues: haha. So you, uh, evacuated?
[31.08.2019 22:20:40] BAF|HMS-Resolution: Eva: No.
[31.08.2019 22:20:46] QC|Michael.Rodrigues: Mhm
[31.08.2019 22:20:49] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): Na, a Gallic Captain in a last ditch effort pulled us into a jump with his vessel, bringing us here.
[31.08.2019 22:21:09] QC|Michael.Rodrigues: Whoa, damn, that's, quite interesting
[31.08.2019 22:21:15] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): Ain't it?
[31.08.2019 22:21:24] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): Damn, I can't wait to have kids and tell them war stories...
[31.08.2019 22:21:29] QC|"Esmeralda": Rojas: What I want to know is who the hell did Gallic Forces have jump coordinates to Malta of all places?
[31.08.2019 22:21:41] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): No fuckin' clue mate.
[31.08.2019 22:21:44] QC|Michael.Rodrigues: Yep, that's quite the one of the most interesting war stories I've heard since a long time
[31.08.2019 22:21:48] BAF|HMS-Resolution: Eva: I think it was a blind jump.
[31.08.2019 22:21:55] QC|Michael.Rodrigues: Maybe.
[31.08.2019 22:22:02] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): If it was, we were lucky...
[31.08.2019 22:22:13] QC|"Esmeralda": Rojas: Well in that case your man there is right
[31.08.2019 22:22:27] QC|Michael.Rodrigues: Well, see you all in a bit, Bretonian fellows, hope you win your war.
[31.08.2019 22:22:33] QC|"Esmeralda": Rojas: There are much worse places to end up.
[31.08.2019 22:22:45] MNS-UMBRAGE: ~So what's the deal with the jumping and Bretonians here?~
[31.08.2019 22:22:59] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): So.. eh. What's the quickest way back to Bretonia?
[31.08.2019 22:23:16] QC|"Esmeralda": Rojas: Outside of a jumpdrive?
[31.08.2019 22:23:30] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): Well, yeah.
[31.08.2019 22:23:57] MNS-UMBRAGE: ~Well~
[31.08.2019 22:24:01] QC|"Aosta": B: You could cross the Taus
[31.08.2019 22:24:05] QC|"Esmeralda": Rojas: Wait a second....Senor Shadowwalker isnt it?
[31.08.2019 22:24:17] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): Awh, fuck. Cross that shit show?
[31.08.2019 22:24:20] MNS-UMBRAGE: ~Correct. In our new Battlecruiser Warship~
[31.08.2019 22:24:22] QC|"Aosta": B: But i guess it could be pretty dangerous
[31.08.2019 22:24:43] QC|"Esmeralda": Rojas: Impressive that they got the Missercodis into mass production but anyhow
[31.08.2019 22:24:46] MNS-UMBRAGE: ~We have the technology to jump them back to Bretonia. But i'd advise on clearing their databanks~
[31.08.2019 22:25:00] QC|"Esmeralda": Rojas: Senor Torres mentioned said Jump Technology before
[31.08.2019 22:25:14] LtCdr.Jack.Barnes(Ret.): Hey, go right ahead. I don't care.
