After a the debriefring onboard the Nagasaki our strike team moved to the agreed destination after receiving clearance from the High Command.
As usual we encountered resistance right beyond Planet Waterford en route to LD14 and engaged a patrol of Bretonia Armed Forces fighters in a fierce fight.
The results were quite uncertain until the last moments when it was evident that our team was gaining the upper hand.
The Bretonians attempted a retreat which failed, one of the remaining two fighters was reached by a fatal hit which resulted
in the explosion of his ship and one of our warriors managed to cruise disrupt the last enemy fighter.
When we regrouped, we found Lt. Ashley Taylor fighting in solo against his "stopper" Nori Tsuyoshi.
We decided to let an honourable duel take place, the Kusari way, to the death.
However, at some point the Bretonian decided to surrender and we asked an unconditional surrender looking forward
to some possible exchange of prisoners; the Bretonian accepted.
He was tractored on board our fighters and his vessel towed to the Nagasaki where he was submitted to a preliminary interrogation and then
immediately tranferred to Fuchu Prison in Shikoku, under our escort.
I have to report the loss of one of our Chimaeras, Daii Kiith was forced to eject during the battle.
He perfomed very well but the Bretonians were focusing fire on him and his structural integrity was compromised at some point.
