*He looks angry with all the incapable lower beings.*

A disaster! A catastrophe! A work of diligent Bretonian hands, to be overpowered by some Gallic rubbish! This is outrageous!

*He calms down, angrily rising his look.*

Incapable lower beings.

I heard two of our destroyers got literally obliterated by two Gallic cruisers. An utter disgrace! Not an utter defeat, however, if I tell you what has happened after. I hope.
By one of those alarms clearly made not to be ignored, I was called to save Leeds system from a Gallic invasion. The situation was terrible - our forces were completely scattered around the system. The first thing I've seen when I entered the system was a lonely battleship from the secondary fleet, H.M.S. Counter Strike, quietly waiting at the gate to be struck. I have ordered every capital vessel to move to planet Leeds and protect it. The defense was almost ready when I got a distress call from the Counter Strike. The ship was ordered to be at Leeds, but she didn't come, although we waited for her for a fairly long time. The poor, incapable lower being probably got stuck in a lane, or didn't even understand what I was talking. She was, of course, overpowered by two Valors and a cruiser. However, our forces were already on their way when it happened, so we came quickly and absolutely annihilated the very souls of our froggish invaders.

Our Forces, First Battle:
2 Destroyers - disabled;
A few snubs - status unknown
BRF|HMS-Diamond (destroyer) - came when the two destroyers were already disabled, disabled a cruiser.

RNS-Rapiere (cruiser) - disabled;
A few snubs - status unknown.

When it had all ended, I was called to Cortez system, where something of foul nature was happening. However, when I was near Southampton, my "trade lane dock" button has malfunctioned. For some reason, there were two "trade lane dock" buttons. At the first moment, I was happy the Charles thought of placing a spare one. At the second moment, when I pressed it, I heard a loud bang. Charles has explained me that it was, actually, a cargo hold depressurization button. The Thunderer had to spend a few hours in Southampton, repressurizing. Why would somebody have a cargo depressurization button tagged as trade lane dock button, it is unclear to me. It's Charles who we are talking about, after all. A deranged old goat, as I called him before.
