Pilot Riley reporting,
As per orders, I flew down to Tau-115 to scout the current situation there. As expected, the Council has been fully driven from the system. On my way there, I saw that the Council battleship Pamiers had withdrawn to Tau-44. The Pamiers appears to be heavily damaged, but intact. There was an "allied" Gallic pilot nearby, but I couldn't understand a word it said, so I continued with my mission. May I suggest an operation to either capture the ship, or encourage it to be somewhere else, before the GRN decides to come knocking?
Upon entering Tau-115, I flew over to the planet. The docking ring was damaged and non-functional. The Montmorency Battlegroup was in a high orbit, but I kept my distance. Scans of the planet show that all four main settlements were destroyed by nuclear detonations. Scans for survivors are inconclusive, as this ship isn't really set up for that. After taking my scans, I quickly withdrew before Gallic patrols could converge on my position.
Upon returning to Tau-44, I landed at Sulawesi and turned over 20 captured enemy pilots. I'm not too happy about wasting good oxygen on the likes of them, but rest assured that I'm following Taskmaster Flores' orders concerning the treatment of prisoners to the letter.
