Debrief at HMS York

[Victor Steiner]

Here he said using the end of his pipe to point to Newcastle. You are to take command of the Ark Royal and continue the defence of that system. he paused, thinking for a moment You should be aware however that Planet Darlington is outside of your authority, Battleship Grimsby is under Commodore McKinley's command, but the planet itself is held under the SIS. I trust you will take that into account. You have also been demoted from the rank of Admiral back to Commodore, I'm sorry but we need time to assess you and your mental state before we can return you to your previous station. I would advise you get yourself looked at by one of the doctors as well, you'll be given a three day leave pass if you wish. Rest and recuperation is not a bad thing and I dare say you've earned it.
