Mahdi Bakeri and Jonathan Odgar. Yesterday you have both taken part in an Office of Naval Intelligence mission in [REDACTED] with the aims of [CLASSIFIED]. The mission went exceptionally well, we collected more data than we have dreamed of and learned of new resources, and uncovered useful tactical information. When our ONI Science vessel was ready to depart for Liberty space we have been attacked by a swarm of hostiles from the Order and our scientists and all the data and samples they have collected were in danger of being lost.
It was only due to your sacrifice that the mission was completed and the vital data secured. You have faced the aggressive hordes of the Order alone, only so that your fellow Armada officers and scientists can live. We have all gotten out and you have suffered injuries for your selfless act of sacrificial bravery. You have shown exceptional courage in the face of overwhelming odds, you have protected the lives of your fellow officers and saved a vital mission.
