Just a few hours ago I met up with Catalina Anna Fernández as requested by First Communications Officer Ikeda Yume to take care of her trial. Catalina seemed a little nervous at first, but that quickly changed as she got comfortable around me. In terms of Catalina's experience I'd say she impressed me - her aiming on the gunboat can get better and there's a fair lot of room for improvement on both that and her dodging abilities, but she gets the spirit of fighting in a gunboat. She knows when to get close and when to keep her distance and I have to say I'll be very happy to train her on the ship even more as she definitely has the capabilities - just lacks time and practice. Catalina passes the trial, good work Catalina - I have attached a recording of the trial in a secure channel.
Later on, a few minutes after our session with Catalina we got word that Crayter is overextending in Tau-23 again. We decided to blockade the Jumpgate to 31 and wait. In due time, two Crayter cruisers, CFV-Europa and Beegan, along with a Crayter battlecruiser, Flexitarian and an LSF bomber, Lance.McKinnon showed up and to nobody's surprise engaged us in almost no time. "Us" consisting of me on the Hoshihokori, MNS-Accordion, GC-Tanaka.Aishi and our newest Sister, Catalina aboard the DeathKnight. We all put up a good fight, but unfortunately the difference in classes was too big for us to take them down and the fact that each of the enemy warships had two missiles mounted didn't help. We may have gotten taken down, but we gave Crayter a clear view of what to expect if they walk into our zone of operations again.
