Matt is in a small ready room, he begins the transmission with a wry smile.
Sirs,
Good report again for tonight. The Omaha has been in dry-dock for long enough so I ordered the crews back from the Missouri and we launched for a good shakedown. More test flights are needed before the Omaha can get into full active service, however based on tonights experience - Not many.
After launching, we set a course for Alaska where an Order agent was spotted. The pilot was rather full of himself and it got to the stage where I was out of patience with his smugness. His commanding officer arrived on the scene and engaged me. The XO - John Smith, followed us in his secondary Guardian - however he did not engage, but watched the battle with intrigue at how the Smith's new gunboat fared.
Although neither Order pilot was shot down, the gunners proved that our Chainfiring setup scares the daylights out of enemy fighters. Both fighters lost shield batteries and nanobots, with one of the fighters losing half his supply. The Omaha's shields never dropped. They ran after they managed to drain the secondary shield systems, but they never even so much as scratched the paintwork.
