Being deployed in the Taus as a wing leader for the Firebirds between assignments, I will start off with a combat report.
I appear to have made a specific enemy of myself to Dos.Santos and Shalazar, who were repeatedly out-skilled along with FO Dreams. One particular engagement had them fall back all the way to Malta, ending with a misfire and merry chase through deep Outcast space. Speaking of vendettas, a certain Kusari Naval Forces officer also appears to have gotten this idea as I passed Nansei.
After being called in by Anders' niece, I conversed with the captain of the RNS-Bretagne. Her call seemed astute enough, defection from the Royalists and looking to join up with us. Making sure that long-range comms were indeed disabled, I offered some supplies in exchange for cooperation against the Maltese and several of her escort pilots transferring to our sides. Although I would still be wary, my suggestion is to put her in contact with the D'Aramis and his 'Fallen Grace Rebels'. Tau-44 would also be a suitable resting point.
Got a call from Anders himself that I should be looking out for the nuggets more, now that I am the Senior Officer for the Hell's Angels. Of course, by the time I got the Nyx out we'd already lost a couple of WOs.
Ended up against these new "Contari Lovers" or whatever, three of them to match our three remaining. Alessan and Elaria Contari, and Rina Como. We really need to train the recruits more, because to have lost to this rabble is... not so impressive. A kill each for Churchill, Harris and me.
Frost out. Callsign - Cunning
Susan reporting in,
No kills for me this time, but quite the number for Dreams aboard the Prometheus. NF|Macross, Komainu no longer Rina Como, driven to Cali Elaria Contari, destroyed Raphael Visconti, popped
Minerva Santos. Although no visual evidence, we have the black-box info: [16.03.2013 21:00:09] Death: Minerva.Santos was put out of action by CR|-Prometheus[FF123] (Gun)
A fine day at work it seems.
Signing off,
Susan Anders Callsign - Erudition
The Athena has touched down on Sabah once more,
Responding to Blanc's call-in of a Scylla roaming outside the cloud, our wing launched to search for it. It was actually Prudence's estimation of its trajectory that allowed us to catch "Mr. Rogers", and giving the manoeuvre team a rest, it was soon removed. I then handed over to Senior Officer Frost to deal with the Outcast's Lance in the system, returning across Coronado:
