Name: Matt Smith Rank: Lieutenant Location: Battleship Missouri Subject: Promotion, additional duties and request.
Matt looks elated with a new pip on his uniform, if a bit scruffy after a hard few days. He practices his best Libertionan accent before starting the recording.
Sirs,
I take on this new rank with pride, honour and most importantly of all - humility. I know I can do more for the navy, and I want to show your faith in me is are not misplaced.
I'm sure John can speak for himself, but I am sure he will be as pleased as I am.
As you know, I've been based out of the Missouri for a while and I'm trying to get the rookies and pilots there a bit more organised. As such - I am going to oversee the CAP there and launch any defensive or offensive strikes from the Missouri. It is my suggestion that Ensigns are assigned to specific Battleships so that if a full alert condition is raised - Every corner of Liberty would have some form of cover. I hope the HC give some consideration to this request.
I am also determined to give these SCRA punks a firm kick up the backside. They will encroach on Liberty no longer. I hope this initiative of Zanders's works - His command of our patrol in Magellan last night was fantastic and I hope we go on the proactive hunt again sometime soon.
Smith Out.
Matt coughs gently, struggling to get his breath back before settling down and lies back on his bunk.
