Day 4 of the Gallic campaign, we have managed to patrol and scout through several of these systems, strange as they are. there are little to no resources left in this place based on quick scans of the pockets we run through, its no wonder these swines are trying to break out of here.

Marcus bribed one of the ensigns to do his dirty work I am sure, I will have to personally oversee his next punishment since there is almost guaranteed to be one. always quick to run his mouth latley, though he seemed fine after training. Need to do more sessions to help him blow off steam, I wouldnt mind if he was a hotshot pilot and still ran his mouth, at least then he could back it up.

Speaking of training, Vico and Esteban desperately need more of it, its almost irresponsible of me to send them out into the field. At their current level of flight proficiency they would last an estimated 40 seconds against any foe we are likely to meet out here in Gallic space, Esteban improved a lot in a short space of time however hes still far from competent in combat, and Vico even less so, should I allow them to patrol? Ive had Vico running basic patrol from the mission command center on Torino to help him improve when the rest of the squad are sleeping, I don't think thats enough.

Vico also gave up during practice with Esteban, if he does it again I will have to punish him, if he cant take the heat during training then he may as well go home to Malta and become a plantation farmer, he will only get himself and possibly others killed with such an attitude, otherwise he is respectful and seemingly competent, so I will allow him another chance to prove himself before he is on cleaning detail on Torino.
