As most of you are now aware, Legionnaire Crowe was shot down by the 46th fleet's LNS Akhetaten during a skirmish in Magellan. They've remained in critical condition in Valravn's ICU since and have so far undergone two major surgeries to remove shrapnel and repair an internal bleed.

While these surgeries were successful, Crowe did not wake up and spiked a high grade fever shortly thereafter. Both our and the Technocracy's best doctors suspected a bacterial infection acquired either from the initial injury or the surgeries themselves and have been attempting treatment with broad spectrum antibiotics.

Crowe's condition seriously deteriorated overnight, requiring electric cardioversion several times to terminate arrhythmia. We don't know if they're going to make it. At present time our best theory is an unknown ice-borne pathogen from Magellan's fields. Commander Crowe has been started on IV Elgamycin which comes with its own set of dangerous side effects, but we believe the risk to be worth the shot at saving them.

Freud, With, I'm including you in this communique because Legionnaire Crowe's wishes were for you to address any outstanding personal matters. That means you're being given access to all their dirty laundry, private comm lines, diary. I know you'll both treat them with respect.

Freud, I know you're very close with Crowe and I wish I could pull you from this fucking op at Tijuana but I do not have the people. The second this situation resolves you have full permission to proceed at best speed to Valravn and take as much time as you need.

Lieutenants Scerri and Levenko, you both have outstanding complaints lodged against either Crowe or their subordinates. I'll do my best to address them as quickly as is humanly possible, but I have no intention of chewing them out until they've fully recovered if they manage to pull through.

If you have a god or something you pray to, now would be the time to put a few words in for our Legionnaire.
