Priority update on the status of Operation: Demon.
The Arktos and escorts successfully interdicted the vessel under the guise of the missing Battlegroup Alabama and initiated combat, eliminating one escort craft and damaging the Razgriz. The second escort escaped as per the plan. The timed detonations went off without complications, and the Razgriz was relocated to the rendezvous point with the repair drone to conduct field maintenance for the final flight to Vieques. Escorts were dismissed upon entering Humboldt and returned to base.
Audio transcript and video logs of the operation are available for review.

FOR THE INNER PHALANX
The performance of those involved in the operation far exceeded my own personal expectations. I'm recommending Tristan Fresnel for a promotion to the rank of Templar for his effort. In addition, with the recent birth given by the Keeper, I ask that out of respect any issues be brought to me personally so she may have time to rest and cater to the youth. If it requires her immediate attention, I will notify her.
Note: This does not mean evaluation discussions won't proceed. Once released from the med-bay, individuals will be invited to discuss her message personally.
