Report regarding yesterday's engagement in the Southampton-Leeds Jump Gate area.

I launched that evening for a regular patrol sortie, linking up with Lt. Commander Goodman and Ensign Savoie. We were asked by police inspector Page to assist with escorting the Interspace Commerce barge, Washington, to Southampton Shipyard from Newcastle.

Pictured here is the initial escort wing.

We noticed the barge was being followed and rammed by cloaked ships, one of which named "Morbius." However, it wasn't until we reached New London that combat began in earnest.

We were first assailed by the CGS|, as shown -here.-

However, more soon arrived, and they were joined by several other hostile independents. There were far too many bombers than our fighters could successfully shield the larger craft from, and as such, the barge, as well as the HMS Wesker and the Toolbox, a repair craft, were taken out of action.

However, we logged several kills as well, evidence of which are filed below.

As well as a couple of CGS|es who docked, as evidenced -here- and -here.-

After the battle was over, there were still a couple of pirates lingering in the system, but given the ample lawful presence other than us in New London, it appears as though Admiral Davis saw fit to recall all primary fleet personnel involved to Leeds, which is where I signed off.

Apparently his decisions rankled the remainder of lawfuls there, as they were left to deal with the pirates without our assistance, but that is not a matter I can personally provide much input on as I was not giving orders.

Arland out.

End of message.
