A tired, sweaty and bedraggled Gareth Williams stares back from the screen. The man salutes stiffly despite the cramped confines of the Pod and his constricting suit. As he speaks, even his voice sounds a little weary, but brisk and with a lot of miliatery bearing. He looked like a man who took his job seriously and barely smiled.

“Sirs, here is my report.” He pressed few buttons here and there is if he was bringing up some notes he had made. “I apologise that I am sending this as a video link, ordinary I would write it out in triplicate but my present situation precludes such a thing. I beg my superior's forgiveness.” There is a clear Bretonian accent to his voice.

“I received on emergency communication system a message from one of our ships that several Gallic ships bearing the tag RNS were present in the Leeds system.” It was amazing with how rigid he sat in his chair that he had not got back pain. He cleared his throat and continued.

“I immediately jumped into my Nyx, and headed towards the system. Through the comm chatter, I heard that several members of the BPA, BAF and even Junkers Congress were in attendance.” He frowned a little. “ Unfortunatly due to a navigational error with the ship's on board computer, it seems that the astro-navigation charts are out of date when I arrived the battle was in full swing.”

He pressed a few more controls, frowned for a moment and turned back to the screen. “I am adding on what few images could be retrieved from the databank of my Nyx. There seemed to be a handful of Gallic warships and snubcraft. I engaged, but fire from a Gallic ship, scored a direct hit on my life support system, and I was forced to eject in my escape pod. “ He seemed very annoyed at this.

“Despite this set back I am happy to report that the battle was won, and I am currently being towed back to conorado along with the Nyx I was flying.” He added as an after thought, “Which I believe is repairable.” He ran his fingers through his short hair and sighed.

“I shall await a request for debriefing. Warrant Officer Williams out.”
