Subject: Admiral Tanner Update
Attention Fleet,
I am most pleased to bring this news to you, as I know all of you showed great concern about our former Fleet Admiral, Aden Tanner.
One of the two Search and Rescue teams launched from the Anchorage had located the Texas, Tanner's Flagship. From the report I received, she was in a rather sorry state. The black-box recording indicated that the Texas was ambushed just on the other side of the Vespucci jump hole from the Kansas system, while en route to rendezvous with myself. Furthermore, that the Admiral had ordered his crew to abandon ship and to get back through to the Pennsylvania system, setting the Texas' weapon batteries to auto-defensive fire to cover their escape.
The crew have been located and they have been transported from Planet Erie back to Salt Lake Station. Admiral Tanner has been secured and is currently receiving medical treatment at the Capital. From the discussion I've had with the medical staff, they are certain that he will make a quick recovery. So I would expect him to release a statement shortly when he is feeling fit to do so. Lastly, the Texas has been secured and been transported back to Norfolk for a repair evaluation.
Finally, some good news that I can share with you following the events of the Vespucci Campaign just a few days ago.
That is all.
