[color=#FFFFFF]Identification Processing... Lieutenant Samuel Zander
Salutations Commanders, Zander reporting in.
Today I performed a random sweep inside the Texas system and surely enough I intercepted a Smuggler carrying Blood Diamonds. The vessel in question was told to drop the cargo and complied after a few minutes of conversation.
At this point Recruit Christopher Hood arrived at the scene and received a distress call coming from the California system. We proceeded to investigate the area and found several hostiles, all were neutralized. One was on the grounds of piracy, the three others - failure to comply to orders.
We were also assisted by two LSF members who were a vital support during a battle with a Hacker Gunboat. One of them skillfully shot down a Sabre as well in a matter of minutes.
Recruit Hood performed excellent both during the interception and the combat part of the mentioned events. Along with his long-standing flight-time in duty, I personally recommend this soldier for an immediate promotion to Ensign rank.
