---

Captain Sterling: It is the hour of 6:55 as I write this log. The HMS-Thames has official been restored to working order. Though we have been unable to perform necessary testing, do to an incident touched upon later, preliminary reports and stress checks during the morning's activities prove quite favorable.

Though we were scheduled for a full Re-Commission this day, it would appear such was stolen from us, and not even by the Gauls, but rather are our allies. After the actions of the last few days, Fleet Headquarters issued out a new Edict: Libertonian Navy ships were only to enter Bretonia under Guard and Invitation. One cruiser had skirted the lines, possibly in pursuit of Auxesian vessels in New London, though luckily the Thames' radar spotted the vessel, on the way to the Leeds Jump Hole, where we were able to finally hail it.

The Libertonian was explained the exact gravity of the situation, in regards to recent events, and compliantly made it's way back to Magellan under guard of the Thames. Also in formation, though caught behind in discussion with two Auxesian vessels was HMS Black Claymore, by our reckoning a more modern Dunkirk- Class Battleship.

With that unexpected incident dealt with, We're returning to Southampton Shipyards to finish our retrofit Stress testing. Let's hopetoday's chase didn't damage anything too critical.

---

The Hour, is 2:23. The HMS-Thames is suffering engine trouble. This has been a personal worry of mine since we spent much of the previous day in a particle cloud in Magellan. The Primary MOX-Interchange Reactor for the Engines is rather delicate when it comes to fine particulate and debris, and this breakdown has struck us at the worst possible time.

We're unable to clear the filtering system with our present equipment, and will need to make it to dry dock. However, I dare not stress the engine reactor further, by powering to Cruise, meaning we'll be relying on standard Impulse speed to traverse the system and make our way back home.

The Gallic Royal Navy is our primary worry, as do to the Adamant- Class' limited communications range, we will be caught out alone. With the scanners on full, it's even likely still the Gauls would see us before we spotted them. I can only hope our armaments hold up if it comes down to it.

It is...19:52 On the time of this recording. The Thames has suffered, lo and behold, a secondary engine failure today. Additionally, the ship's scanner has begone to malfunction. We were only released from drydock this morning and we are already experiencing technical issues.

It might be time to Contact BMM on behalf of the Admiralty, to discuss this problem.

Other than that, our combat inneficacy leaves us with nothing to Report.
