So my latest Journey took me from New York to Planet New London, where I happened to bump into Bowex)Scarborough, which was a mighty Barge vessel and also HMS-Wolverhampton from the famous Bretonian Armed Forces.
I conversed with the Wolverhampton and made a few comments regarding hired help, which could hopefully be included in my new venture.
For now I will rest up on New London and also take in some sights. This is going to be a long process to find out where the bad apples are and where it is more welcoming. Hopefully the welcoming places can be stage posts for myself and anyone who joins me for journeys.

- - - Naval Communication of upmost importance coming through - - -
Libby steps towards the terminal to open the message...
She starts to read the message and looks at the screen in horror as she reads, tears forming in her eyes and her hand covers her mouth.
Mike has been involved in a serious life threatening accident aboard the Tomahawk which was also a previous vessel belonging to her father James Horatio Creed. Libby had already set up divorce proceedings with Mike, but with this serious accident this would halt all proceedings indefinately. She immediately gathers her stuff and races to the hospital as fast as she can.
On arrival she declares her identity and is allowed to see Mike behind a mirrored screen.
She looks in horror as he is sedated on a large hospital bed with a head brace on and casts on both arms and both legs and also half of his torso is in a cast aswell. The doctor with her says that his injuries are extensive and it will be touch and go for his survival.
Libby is taken to a rest room and comforted by a Naval liason officer who is trained in this sort of trauma and helping the officers spouse to cope.
She explains that Mike will be in hospital for a very long time and recovery will be very very long, if he survives.
Libby decides to stay the night and see if she can see Mike. But after staying most of the night the doctors advised her to go get some sleep, so she leaves, her head in bits and hands shaking she calls a taxi to take her home.
She arrives home and sits down staring into space, now she reads the rest of the communication involving the state of the Tomahawk. The vessel was extensively damaged, and the admiralty have moved the vessel to Norfolk for immediate repair.
Libby has been thinking about her future, and now, she knows what her future has in store for her. She immediately contacts the admiralty to once again be a naval officer, and requests that she can be put in charge of the Tomahawks repairs and also to be assigned aboard the ship once it is fully functional.
Libby sits and reflects everything that has happened over the last few months, and is ready to take on the role of a naval officer once again, and will decide where her future lies and to which fleet she will put her trust in.
Libby will wait for the answer and hopefully it will come soon.

Libby got the reply she was looking for, and also if she was not on duty in here fighter ships she was given permission to be crew aboard the Tomahawk when it is re-commissioned after repair.
Libby grabbed her coat and bag and immediately hailed a taxi to take her for her car, and on arrival she made her way to Norfolk Shipyard to see the Tomahawk.
Entering the Shipyard she was recognised by one of the chief engineers....
"Hi .. Libby isn't it..."
LIBBY : "Yes it is"
The engineer spoke of his horror at the hospitalisation of Mike and how badly damaged the Tomahawk was.
Libby asked to be taken to the ship, to see the damage for herself, and she was horrified at the sight of the ship.
It had huge holes and tears in the outer hull almost everywhere, but most of the inner hull was intact apart from some cracks which appeared to be towards the engineering section and the engine room.
The engineer explained that the attack was so sudden, and so powerful that the ship did not stand a chance of survival until two Overlords came to the battlecruisers rescue.
The damage was so severe that the ship would not be ready for service for some extensive time. Libby discussed the repairs and asked the shipyard workers to try and get the Tomahawk repaired as soon as possible, and they said that they would do their best.
Libby left the shipyard shaking, with the shock of the ships condition. Hopefully the staff can repair her quickly and get her back into service.

Libby had received a message from Norfolk, which was good news about the Tomahawk. The hull has been secured and made safe and now the rest of the ship needs to be looked over, specially all the navigational systems and the electronics.
Libby has had a relaxing day and has now got to go and do her regular patrol.

Libby visited Mike in hospital and it is good news ...
He has woken from his comatic state, and is responsive to peoples voices and it seems that he was pleased she was there. Libby explained about the Tomahawk and responded with simple sign language from his hands to acknowledge his answers.
It seemed positive towards my ambition to command the Tomahawk and Mike seems to be able to ask the Admiralty once he is better if this is actually possible.
Obviously Mike will be in Hospital for a while, but from what Libby has seen today everything looks positive and hopefully, once he is well, we can iron out our marriage and resolve our differences. But for now he needs to gather his strenght and get well as soon as possible.
Libby has definately decided upon where her career is going and makes her way back to the apartment where she will apply for one of the Liberty Fleets and see where this takes her.

Now it seems Mike has started his recovery and is able to make some words, which has meant that the doctors have analysed his brain and have assured Libby that he seems ok and if he works hard he can recover from his injuries.
Libby has been accepted into the 1st Armada and is ready to serve Liberty once again, and also Tomahawk has been cleared to do some test trials after the ships electrical systems and other navigational systems have been cleared and given some minor repairs, and all weapons systems have been restored.
Libby had enquired about transferring the Tomahawk to the 1st armada, and has had that go ahead from the Admiralty. So now Tomahawk will be back in service and Libby will serve on the vessel when not on patrol, or covering for other officers.
Seems it is all coming together.

It has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride these last couple of weeks, Mike is recovering well and I have been promoted and also given my own command, which is personally exciting, as the ship is my fathers old carrier callsign 1st|LNS-Argonaute.
This command has been given to me by Admiral Van-Leer who has guided me so far through my time at the 1st Armada, and it makes me so proud to be part of it.
The ship has undergone some slight adjustments and also we intend to give her the job of supporting VANGUARD within the Raptor squad with Argonaute, and making it a quick response vessel able to jump Raptors into areas quicker than negotiating trade lanes.
I will inspect her tomorrow sometime.

Well I must say .... it has been a while for me now and I am succesfully settled into the 1st Armada, and I have now made the rank of Captain, which was a huge surprise and also a very huge surprise to Mike.
Since I made my way into the 1st Armada, Mike has changed his job within the Navy and has been training for weeks to be able to pass exams and take his new position.
He has taken the position of Naval Combat and Tactics Officer, which means that he will coordinate with the Primary and secondary Fleets of Liberty and advise and also train new people into combat roles and fleet tactics and assaults.
Myself, well I have my own office, and command of several vessels within the Armada. I still have my fathers vessel Argonaute and also the Tomahawk has been fully commissioned and repaired finally after a few weeks of waiting for essential parts to come. My marriage has become good again, and with time I have managed to cope with my mothers passing, and we did have a small service for her, which was nice.
With the coming days there will be more assaults on Insurgence positions and vessels that have failed to evacuate Veracruz or the vespucci system. There are still stragglers who constantly either evade us or attack spiradically. Also the Zoner situation that has escalated has become more and more intense, with also Zoner vessels seeming to coordinate with the Insurgence and combine attacks aswell.
A large attack in vespucci earlier was not a good thing for the 1st Armada, and our vessels had to pull back heavily damaged from the combat.
We have also heard rumors of an Insurgency vessel contacting one of our Ensigns of the Armada, but I have yet to read the report or communication between the officer and the vessel concerned. Using caution may be the best policy, and making sure this is not a ruse to create any ambushes on Naval forces.
My life aswell now has improved, and Mike has wondered on the possibility of having children, but that will be discussed later I suppose. I have also had to persevere alot in my life with eveything that has gone on, and making sure both myself and Mike are happy and that we can continue to improve our marriage.
Just as I wanted to relax..... here comes another emergency call, oh well I suppoose I will have to see if I am needed or not .....

46th|Hazel: I best call every single Atlantis on the First Armada to help out with this MAXIMUM LEVEL THREAT.
I decided to hand in the resignation from the Armada, and low and behold, Van-Leer says I will be eligible to re-enlist if the shit hits the fan so to speak. I have been hearing some stories within the bars I have frequented since my leaving, and alot is mentioned about Squidies, or Nomads as they are truly known.
Anyway my new employer, wants me to do some simulator training with his boys, but that's not for me. So I am going to be part of the officers aboard the Artemis Command for a bit, and might even take a drone for a spin. I am curious about these drones, as they seem very very up to date and special.
I guess if I do get bored here, I can always go and give Van-Leer another headache (might even hit him with a baseball bat if he is cheeky).
So for now my military prowess, can stay securely hidden, and also as I am a good girl, I wont be handing over any information, no Sir.
