COMM ID: Recruit Tiffany Markley SUBJECT: Patrol Report ENCRYPTION:High PRIORITY:High
Admirals,
upon having received reports about a Council battleship in the Alaska system, I took the initiative to check it out. I joined up with Lieutenant James Lambert and together we entered the Alaska system. Gosh, I was so glad that the Lieutenant was there with me. It was my first time in the Alaska system after all.
Anyways! Once we reached the Alaska system we began with our patrol. We split up to be able to find the vessel easier. Ultimately it was Lieutenant Lambert who managed to find the intruder. Surprisingly the reports were right! It was in fact a Council battleship!
I immediately changed my course to head to Lambert's coordination. As soon as I was there the Lieutenant had already began to interrogate with the Captain of the battleship. Without any success, though! The Captain seemed to be somewhat confused and always repeated the same sentence, that he was coming in peace to hunt down aliens.
It was even clear for me what had to be done. However, we lacked the needed forces in order to fulfill that. So we tried to nail the Captain with questions until reinforcements would come, but... what then happened, did really no one of us expect! A Nomad fleet came and attacked us, eventually taking down the Council battleship in a mere seconds. Due to our lack of forces we had to retreat. The only loss was the Council battleship, no losses on our side.
