This is Lt. Commander Averos, reporting on an eventful day.

I was called into Kansas from a resupply to aid against a Phantom, and a pilot gone insane.

I arrived just in time to see the Phantom fleeing out of the system.

Our probes detected a contact at long range, so Lt. Commander Amaya and I flew to intercept the pilot who'd already had unpleasant words.

We finally caught up with him at the Virginia Jump Hole, and after a lengthy discussion (which involved some unorthodox tactics used by Amaya, to gather information from this member of the Liberty Marine Corps,) we escorted the pilot, one 2nd Lt. Jack Johnson back to a rendezvous point with the Belisarius. While Commodore Ryder discussed several things over with the Marine, Lt. Commander Amaya and I began scanning the vessel.

Turns out it was an Avenger, with a full load of Magma hammers. Our techs will be taking a look over these over the next 24 hours, and seeing what they can come up with. In addition, of course, they will
examine the fighter itself.

Once arrangements were discussed and made, the Lt. was decided to stay at Boadicea for a time while possible sympathizers within the Liberty Marines are discussed, and we figure how best to use this new possible ally.

Be it weapons/fighters or even just supplies, I hope that we can find some benefits among these possible allies.

I can only hope that good can come of this. If we truly have new allies then maybe we can leave Sirius faster then anticipated.

Naturally, I have offered to be his escort while he is with us, as I take full responsibility for his actions while with us. I will not allow him to wander alone, should he prove insincere.

This is Lt. Commander Averos signing off.
