--End of record--
Damn Bretonians invaded New Moscow system. They were trying to find us in Nebula, but reinforcements came quick and they had to retreat. We were sitting turned off for and half an hour to be sure no surprise is left behind. For example, like cloaked bomber. Their damages to our fleet and New Moscow contradicted our plans to change part of our cargo bay to small docking bays for shuttles or crafts. Our command informed us, that they have no spare parts for us and they need to use them for main battle group. How disappointing.

We will get our docking bays in diferent way *She sighs and lights another cigarette*. Aside from that, we had very interesting encounter in Nebulas. While doing spectrographic sweep of Nebula, we noticed strange anomaly close to our ship. It happened to be Gaian destroyer, reaching out to us. Captain of it sounded very educated and we talked about general topics, like their cause, terraformation. But then he askedus for a favor. To contact our command, and ask them for help against Bretonians. In exchange Gaians could provide artifacts of distant alien civilisations to boost our research. I will wait, till he contacts me again, to be sure it wasn't just plain proposition. Artifacts could be very handy and could give us some extra knowledge and about help, after Bretonians dared to put their noses to New Moscow, they will be probably more then eager to settle the score.

Last entry. Our application to SCEC was accepted. Krasnaya and it's crew is now flying under their symbols for glory of people, Coalition and it's science.

Jekaterina, Out.
