This is getting ridiculous....*shiver* 2 whole weeks and my squad bay is still with out heat!!! According to Master chief Watts, it is not our equipment but the shody workmanship, and age, of Cold Bay, and I thought Navy red-tape was a pain in the kister. I have now found a contender in the corprate world...Thank you Planetform Inc. for the lessons.
Overall, despite shortages of men and material, my command is holding together *pats duct-tape and bailing wire.* LNS-Bruin and crew are shaping up well, and the emergency alert showed Lt. (jg) Bruin his ship's strengths and weak spots. I have ordered the LNS-Bruin to Ft. Severn for further evaluations, and shall be escorted by [SA]-RedBear.
For 3 straight days my squadron has intercepted and helped repel incursions of Texas by capital class warships from the sourkraut playground. Today, an ad hoc flotilla was cobbled together to repel another incursion into Texas by these sourkraut eating fleas. Fortunately, this vessel must have been infected for their combat accume was below the norm. Needless to say, this vessel is now floating in neat sections within the tender embrace of the Void. Combat video is attached to this message.
May the Void swallow up all corporate mind-sheeple!!!! Not only are the frakking heating units on the fritz, but now my frakking squad bay door is jammed!!!!!!! How in the frak am I going to scramble my squadron? Maybe the latrine hatch is big enough seeing as how much of an *&&%%*(( the Cold Bay Depot manager is!
Fortunately, most of my squadron is already on patrol or other duties, but it seems the commander of Tejas Squadron is stuck on this frigid pedestal of ineptitude!!!!!
Ok, enough is enough! Grade school mentality and tit-for-tat is just so unbecoming of Liberty's Quartermaster Corp.... I requisition 5 heating units and they send me frakking cooling units!!!! I request vacuum resistant grease for my frakking bay doors I get *what the!?* cooking lard!!! This is just to much goldbricking for my taste....
Fortunately, as a Squadron commander, I do have access to additional funds and I have put them to good use. I found, lets say, a "pillar of Sirius society," who has been around the Blackhole a few times. His vessel is sufficient for my logisitical needs and his paperwork, at least the ones he showed me, are sound. I believe my fath...I mean, OsoRojo.Trading.Co. shall provide all our logisitcal needs at cutthro...I mean bargain prices.
After completing its escort mission of the LNS-Bruin to Ft. Severn, strikefighter [SA]-RedBear encountered a vessel under duress by 3 Lane Hacker vessels. Upon request for help from civilian trading vessel Empecinado, hostile vessels were scanned, identified, and engaged. Sadly, Empecinado suffered hull breach and ejected from his train unharmed.
In addition, his vessel's loss did not go quietly. His crew managed to eviscerate one of the bogies, while [SA]-RedBear was able to release another into the tender embrace of the Void. The hostile's third vessel dropped from [SA]-RedBear's scanners early in the fracas.
At this point in time, [SA]-RedBear has docked at San jacinto for minor repairs and shall continue his patrol towards Cold Bay.
After much deliberation, and rumination, Lt. (jg) Bruin and I have come to a joyous decision. While downing a few modest refreshments, within our frigid Officers Mess, he and I allowed our discourse to fixate upon our present military situation versus past historical exploits. Being students of History, he a major in History mine a minor, we listed those who have contributed the most as souls that hunger for Liberty....
After severl more modest refreshments, only one man could truly be said to have shook the very pillars of Heaven and the roots of Hell. A man who could stand before the "Blue-bloods" and bend them to his will with only his wits and charms. A man, whose very exploits are the cornerstone of our present technology...This man not only tamed the lighting bolt, but released the yearning for Liberty within all of the Void's myriads of beings.
This man could only be Benjamin Franklin! To honor this man, no...Demi-god, the Tejas Squadron hereby re-christens the LNS-Bruin as the [SA]-LNS-Benjamin.Franklin. May this vessel spread the light of freedom to all those who yearn for Liberty and to those who fear it. The genie is out of the bottle and none may stay this relentless tide.
Due to the inter-unit cooperation, Tejas Squadron's training and morale is growing by "leaps and bounds," and with continual training we shall, PDQ, become the tip of Liberty's spear. My thanks goes out to all participates in the latest battle simulations held at Connecticut recently. We at Tejas Squadron learned alot and enjoyed ourselves, truly. I shall send several cases of my coldest brews to all units concerned.
Proper documentation, and excellence within training and refurbishment of the LNS-Benjamin.Franklin, has earned its crew 2 days of shore leave. Orders have been cut and crew informed that they shall have 2 days of shore leave on the pleasure planet of Curacao, Cortez System. I have sent the men a bottle each of my coldest brews. I hope they remember their "old-man" who is freezing his kister off here at Cold Bay. They earned it Liberty command.
