Subject: Towing, Operation, squad-

We finally managed to get the Junkers to help us tow La Falange D'oro from Omicron 85, across the sector to Omicron 81 safely. I think i like about a kilogram in sweat whilst i was on board that cruiser wreck all alone as the junkers towed it. Not only was just being on the ship all by myself pretty haunting with all the blood and carbon scoring around the ship, it was also horrifying to hear the vessels groans as she was towed by the Junkers.

There were times i thought the ship might just break apart, we have so much invested in this ship that it would have been the end of the squadron as I know it if something went wrong in transit. Fortunately everything went well and it is now sitting in the eastern section of drydock B on Cartagena.

That bastardo business suit said that I should just scrap the ship completely, I told him where to go pretty quickly for making such a stupid suggestion, he clearly doesn't know whats at stake in the destroyer out there. He denied the use of any repair materials on the craft also due to it being "A waste of resources..". I nearly shot him in the face but somehow thanks to Camilla i managed to keep myself calm.

I have had to request help from the junkers again to bring materials required for the extensive and lengthy repairs ahead, Camilla made the list after doing a thourough check of the damage with a survey team last week so we finally have the estimates for the materials. as long as nobody joins the faction between now and the end of the repair job, we should have just enough money to cover the costs but we will be scraping the line by the end.

As for a more personal log, I had agreed to have an Oocyte operation performed a few days ago after I received a letter from mama regarding this and how worried she was. Its not often I hear from her so I cant honestly say for certain whether it was just the old man using her as a bargaining chip or if it was genuine. Well anyway with all thats happened with La Falange D'oro ive had to give the operation a miss, which will cause great stirs back home on Malta but they can damn well wait, I have more important things to do right now.

As for the squadron itself, there seems to be growing enthusiasm for the training game Circular that I made to help them become more proficient at aiming and moving, and understanding the importance of decent suppression fire. also did a long one to one training session with Marcus this weekend gone, despite his attitude at the start he actually seemed to be capable of taking on board what I was saying to him. his aim improved drastically in just two hours. for which im glad, because before he couldn't hit the broad side of a Hegemon in open space.
