Subject: Report - 830/06/13 | Xenos Incursion in Pennsylvania

---

Sir,

Ensign Bishop Zehel and I were going through the fundamentals of fighter combat when we were contacted by members of the 1st of the sighting of Xenos over in the system of Pennsylvania. Ensign Zehel and I rushed out of the simulators, did our ready checks on our fighters and headed out in search of the aforementioned rebels.

Whilst the 1st cordoned off the areas around Planet Erie and over towards Philadelphia Station, Zehel and I headed towards the direction of the helium mining field within the Meadville Ice Asteroid Field. As we passed right over Planet Tremont, we caught some Xenos on our scanners and while we did hail them to exchange some "pleasantries" so to say... We continued cruising away as I relayed their positions to the 1st for backup.

The Xenos were legends of sorts or so I have dug into: Cobra, Taipan, and two members of the Xenos' infamous Phantom Squadron.

Ensign Zehel either had a comms malfunction or was eager to get into the fight when he broke off from me and engaged Cobra. It took me a while to realize until I glanced at my scanners to find out that his ship and Cobra's was the same distance away from me.

I quickly turned around, beckoned for Cobra to cease fire and to have a duel with me instead. To my chagrin, he declined and continued riddling the Ensign's ship with rhythmic particle fire whilst zipping around him.

I made the decision to butt in before the 1st arrived to try to get some pressure off the Ensign which cascaded into the rest of the Xenos engaging on us. We had no chance out of that but I was not about to leave my comrade alone.

Ensign Zehel's Avenger was soon disabled, his escape pod activating, sending him further away, safe from the furball of a fight.

The 1st later arrived where I worked closely with Lya Robbins as she became the primary target of the Xenos, I was able to damage Taipan a little but not enough for him to break off. A few turns and mines on the field later, Robbins was taken down and a chill down my spine told me that I'd be the next target. 2 Xenos down on me right then and there, Phantom.111 and Cobra whilst the rest of the 1st clumsily bumble around shooting their own targets instead of focusing a single target down.

I was soon dispatched, and drifted away in my pod, still hearing the incessant, panicked communications from the 1st pilots. I shut off my radio and activated the transponder for a recovery ship.

Ensign Zehel and I were transported back to Norfolk. We patiently await our new ships as we headed back to the combat simulator.

That will be all, Sir.
