(Report for 20.06)
Approx. at 14:30 today I've launched from HMS Derby to conduct daily patrol of Leeds system. As I got to Leeds orbit in 5 minutes, I've located 2 passerbies, Gateway train and Zoner liner. Both were scanned and confirmed as carrying legal cargo to proper destination. Then I've received emergency call from Stokes. There I have located Colonial battleship (footage and name missing), which was defending Stokes from Gallic attack (consisting of 1 battleship, 2 (presumably) cruisers and 2 fighters). As they were destroyed, 2 more Gallic fighters closed in, Katsuko Komatsu (fighter) and Robert LaFlamme (light bomber). I decided to take them on our own and possibly capture them for interrogation. Colonial battleship was only securing defensive perimeter of Stokes for the rest of fight. I called in for some backup, and soon lieutenaunt (Angus) Graham (Paladin fighter), Kusarian Exile Kaori Yamamoto (Chimaera fighter and HMS Hunt (Auxiliary, Dunkirk class battleship) arrived to Stokes. I took over the command of group. Meanwhile Fatboy Slim (GRN fighter) joined Gallic force. As we've got wing of 3 fighters, I decided to engage. Eventually, additional reinforcements came in, including Colonials and other Derby fleet pilots. During the fight, 2 gauls (Fatboy Slim and Katsuko Komatsu) managed to separate me from the rest of wing, so I stayed evasive. After some time Fatboy Slim disengaged to return to main fight. I managed to catch Katsuko Komatsu on nuke and rejoin the fight. In fight I've got critically hit in right engine, so I decided not to take risks and return to Stokes immediatly. Wingmates helped me with that, covering me until I got into safety. Then I transfered command over wing to lieutenaunt Graham. (I've landed on battleship Nagasaki approx. at 16:30)

I've completed medical checks and am fit for further service. My ship will be repaired within 3-4 hours.
Eliot out.
