:::She stands upright and salutes:::
The call came to man the armory, and the speech of the Commandeur resonated throughout the vessel - the Battleship Matsumoto that has caused great devastation in Lorraine, caused millions of deaths and great damages is likely preparing to strike planet Metz once more, readying to finish what it started.
And sure enough - stationed in Tau-53, facing in the direction of Lorraine the symbol of Kusarian brutality immediately opened fire on us. We were ready and assaulted the Battleship to prevent further bloodshed in Lorraine, the mere presence of this symbol so close to our system makes any respect for treaties with Kusari void our CIC relied to us with great fanfare. It all went well until this smaller support vessel appeared - Zuiryu
The police cruiser stood by the symbol of death of many Gauls and Gallic Navy Heroes - we had no choice, they became our target as well. Sweat came over us as the weapons room heated up greatly, salvo after salvo I helped reload, keeping check on all our systems and ammunition reserves. The call that the enemy was destroyed was not coming however - CIC must have been struggling with it's small size and agility. Like an otter slowly wearing down an Alligator so were we worn down eventually, and the sound of retreat was called, the sign of Gallic suffering Matsumoto still standing undefeated, possibly plotting another onslaught.
I hope the CIC of our vessel will analyze the data, push for more support in securing Lorraine and Tau-53 against the Kusarians, as our ship's command is sure our people can't be safe while Matsumoto is on our doorstep.
