I'll get straight to the point. A massive combined force of Xenos and Phantoms, along with a Corsair, totaling about eight fighters and two bombers broke through our borders and struck at our headquarters station, Westpoint Military Academy. The undermanned garrison of New York made haste to the area, and arrived in drips and drabs, to the advantage of the enemy. Indeed, I myself joined the battle as the enemy had massed, missing the chance to strike them as they were assembling.
I would like to think that if things had been done differently, the outcome of the battle would have been different. But that would be a trick of the mind.
Westpoint is undergoing intensive repairs and the debris field created by the battle is being cleared. Our heart has been pierced by the most fearsome of enemies, and there was nothing I, nor the garrison, could do about it.
I escaped with my life, barely. Launders held them off long enough for me to escape along with what was left of our defensive force, but he was caught by the marauding invaders. Bloody hero boy, he is. He refuses orders when they suit him! But, he did save my life. Catch me by the bar on Manhattan sometime Launders, I owe you one. Oh, and that wreck you call your old Claw is going to be replaced by one fresh off the production line as soon as the first shipment comes in. Try to get used to it, I know its not like the old one, but it should wear in pretty well.
