Attention:

I know the impression left on us all this weekend was that of a failure, but take some solace in knowing that it might not have been a complete failure.

Let's take a look at the outcomes, I have been receiving communication logs from survivors that ejected from the R.N.C-Kolleda, it seems that NEUROTOXIN was fired inadvertently just before evacuation. The trajectory of the plasma stream is unknown, as is whether or not contact was made with Valhalla Shipyard. But there's something better to note from all of this.

I anticipated the Dragon's Egg would consume the Kolleda upon firing at full power, in fact, I was almost certain. I kept this plan in action for a variety of reasons:

• NOTE: As of right now the Kolleda is not completely in pieces, but the ship has taken a significant beating. With the alien garrison from Valhalla annihilated in the aftermath, salvaging the warship will be a simple task.
  
• NEUROTOXIN could not be allowed to be taken, or duplicated by anyone. It wouldn't be possible without the right parts, or people I suppose. But still, a derivative of the weapon could be just as dangerous. Making this a "one-off" scenario was necessary to keep our enemies from attempting to replicate such a lethal design.
  
• The Dragon's Egg has attracted the attention of various parties as well, the dangers alien technology of that scale poses even under our control could be catastrophic. I decided it was best to direct the catastrophe at something that would ultimately work to our benefit while keeping our enemies away in the process.
  

The battle - to everyone - appears to be lost.

But this is not the case.

Keep this information to BDM| personnel only, I will speak with the Defense Ministry and the Rheinland Military High Command about our next move. If we can have the towing vessels on scene move the warship into position - we can make a second shot.

For Rheinland.
