The Torment

INS-Torment

CAPTAINS LOG - Entry #21: Lull of the storm
Date: May 24th, 829 A.S.

A little over a week has passed since my last log, surprisingly, it seems the prediction I made then turned out to be false. Instead of further intensifying the combat seems to have died down a little, the flames of conflict reduced to a small simmering instead of a blazing inferno that covers the entire system. Colorful words I stole from the ships chef *laughs* but accurate ones regardless.

There have been some reports of Insurgency vessels seizing the chance to take the fight to Liberty; launching assaults in the California and New York systems. While it is tempting to join them, I have kept the Torment in Vespucci to further protect the evacuation efforts. However this unexpected pause in the conflict might provide just the opportunity to reach out to some of the powers around us, if only to secure a pathway out for when the time comes that we cannot hold our position anymore.

...I wonder if the Crayter Republic would allow military vessels to evacuate through Coronado.
