Your performance has been exemplary over the past mission, and the unified strength of this force has been amply demonstrated to our friends and foes alike.
One more thing:
Stay icy out there. Don't showboat. Don't muck around.
Use discretion before force, and observe at all times the instructions given to you by representatives of the council.
Capital ship captains in particular shall show restraint: Don't waste our precious resources swatting at flys! Let our fighters do their job.
