CAPTAINS LOG - Entry #22: Blitzkrieg
Date: May 30th, 829 A.S.

Wouldn't you know, right as we thought things were starting to die down a little, Liberty pushes straight back in. Heh, that's bound to be some kind of euphemism. Well frankly it sure as hell feels like it, the Torment is starting to get thinly spread trying to cover most of the system. I expect the lull was only to lure some overambitious Insurgency captains out of formation. Their assaults on Liberty space has barely harmed the corrupt house but left our defenses in shambles.

As I log this entry the Liberty forces have all but pushed the battle to the doorstep of Veracruz. We are trying our best to hold off the enemy but with our diminished numbers it won't last. The crew is feeling the effects as well, almost every encounter we end up taking casualties, as if that wasn't bad enough our systems are also becoming harder to repair.
Fortunately we did have some time at the Fort this past week for some emergency maintenance, I'd hate to think what our condition would have been if we hadn't.

Reaching out to Crayter seems unlikely at this point,. Even if they would receive the transmission, they'd be unable to help, what with Liberty this close. Assuming they even would have, for that matter. This leaves us with only two ways out. Either we take our chances and try to travel through Crayter space unannounced and hope for the best, or we take our chances with the cloak and try something extrmely foolhardy.

Unfortunately I won't have much time to decide.
