ENCRYPTION: TOP SECRET ARG-1
SENDER: Lt.Commander - Libby Harrison

RECIPIENT: Admiral Van-Leer
SUBJECT: Argonaute Refit
Salutations Admiral,
It has been an Honor to finally take command of the 1st|LNS-Argonaute, as this ship has such an iconic history as being the Flagship of my late father James Horatio Creed. I am sure my father would be watching down on me and feeling so proud to see me in command of this superb vessel.
Operation GUARDIAN has ended and Argonaute has suffered some light damage, but some of the score marks on the hull from those Nomad warforms seems to have severely depleted the integrity of certain hull sections, which is concerning. These weapons seem to have an intensity that could literally break through a hull section if these lasers are trained on a hull for some time. Luckily we remained some distance from the warforms and volleyed mortar fire to support our vessels.
It appears that some of the enemy vessels were not so lucky as I watched on, and the onslaught from these warforms was extremely violent and aggressive. I have only encountered a Nomad vessel once, and am glad to say that it was repelled by a group of three of us.
Argonaute is under repair in dry dock at Norfolk, after we were able to hyperspace jump her there safely, and no further ruptures or hull breaches were recorded during the severity of the jump.
In its current form, the Argonaute has a weapons system with the following combination :-
3 x TL-25 Mortar Cryogenic Antimatter Projector 1 x RA-20 Battleship gale Cannon 2 x MK-81 Battleship Autopulse Turrets 2 x LDH-24v Collapser Liberty Battleship Turret 2 x LDF-5a Meson Liberty Battleship Flak Turret 9 x LDL-14v Jacjhammer Liberty Battleship Light Turret
This weapons setup has been passed down to me when I was given the command of the vessel, so now I will be asking for funding from the Armada to improve the vessel even more and make her the dominant force that she should be within the fleet of the 1st| Armada.
This refit will take some time, and also I will wait for your response on the funding of the new weapons systems. The weapons that will be purchased will be mounted and tested before she becomes operational again.
The amount of funding I am asking for will be - REDACTED - and I can assure you the funding will be used to improve the vessel to a high standard.
At present the vessel has already been fitted with some Docking Modules, but it seems there are some available within the Armada, which can also be installed to improve the Carrier's strike capabilities. Cloaking technology is already installed for very dangerous situations, and is an ideal peace of equipment. The Jump Drive sustained slight damage and will be looked at by the enigineers at Norfolk and hopefully they can also improve its capabilities.
Also we have a Hyperspace Beacon Matrix fitted, which will be a much needed piece of equipment for summoning reinforcements if needed during our operations.
Thankyou for your time Admiral, and I hope you are well and not too exhausted after Operation GUARDIAN.
