Matt looks terrible as black soot covers his face and burn marks and tears are across his uniform. He looks at his Guardian, chunks of the hull missing and a hole in the starboard wing where a missile shot through it.
Sirs,
[color=##33CCFF]That.. that is what's left of my fighter over there.. It's gonna take a full couple of days to get it back up and operational again.. But I make this report knowing that we've stopped another incursion.
Capt Zander's had got some intel - We're not sure from where, that the SCRA were planning on hitting Liberty from the California side. John and I were on standby and we rushed to the Magellan gate. On orders from Zanders - we headed to Magellan where we intercepted the SCRA forces at the Leeds jumphole. My scanner went nuts, It's a lovely wee thing when it works this battleship scanner - we were able to track down and intercept the two SCRA contacts before they could get near any civilian targets.
We were up against Walter Steiner and Joshua Jimenez. Walter was in an Insurgent class Heavy fighter, Joshua in an Odin Hessians fighter. We've long suspected that the Hessians are working for the Coalition. This almost gives irrefutable proof.
I was the focal point of the enemies attack, with Walter seeming keen to duel me and let off his missiles. It was tough to stay away from him and his cannonballs especially when Joshua kept pushing in as well. John kept me supplied and eventually we got lucky and Walter was downed. Joshua had kept Walter fed with bots/bats as well and we knew that we could push home our advantage 2v1. Even though I battled with half hull for the bulk of the fight - We managed to take Joshua down with my magma's connecting and the target being destroyed. I saw some very weird after effects though sirs - something like a cloaking escape pod?! I'm not sure - It didn't stay around for long and my scanners couldn't pick up the faint unknown radiation source. I have a strange feeling we will seeing them again.
The operation was a success - however a taxing one. At least we didn't lose anyone this time around.
Wherever Zander's is getting this intel - Keep it coming.

Smith out.
Matt dusts himself down, takes a sip of whisky and then gets to work on fixing his fighter.
