I woke up to our Valravn garrison scrambling an alert squadron and jumped in my Falchion, not waiting for medical clearance or a briefing. It was reckless and out of line and if you want to discipline me, I understand.

THAT SAID, my wing consisting of Mjr. Levenko and Lt. Hideyoshi responded to a distress call from HFB Arcturus. Arcturus' cruise drived had seized, and my wing made best speed to rendezvous with her and her escort consisting of Xrch. West, FCpt. Freud, Cdr. Carmine, ACV Vindicator, and Cdr. Scerri, CO HFGB Clemency. Shortly after arriving, we were beset upon by a similarly-sized Republic strike force with two gunships of their own, the LNS Tacoma and LNS Daring. Two of their pilots, 46th's Alpha 5 and one Greg S, indicated that they were acting on intel, implying our recovery of the Arcturus had been under observation for some time, enough for them to prepare an ambush.

Arcturus made best speed on impulse power to the Coronado jump corridor while we engaged their strike force, cutting them down one by one but sustaining heavy losses in the process. Our gunships easily bested the Tacoma and Daring, then remained on standby so as not to catch us in the crossfire.

With only about a third of both their and our effective fighting forces remaining, FCpt. Freud and Cdr. Carmine's fighters succumbed to sustained fire and were forced to eject, leaving myself and Lt. Hideyoshi to fend for ourselves. Hideyoshi just barely lost a knife fight with Greg S, but one of our gunships managed to pick his mangled Defender off of me. With no nanobots, shield batteries, or cruise disruptors and my Falchion ablaze, I turned to face their sole survivor, Sigma 7, a relatively fresh LSF Anubis.

Following the engagement, I RTB'd Valravn with ACV Vindicator. I'm told that Arcturus is safely in drydock at El Alto, and that all of our pilots, unlike myself, are expected to make a full and quick recovery.

I wish to personally commend Major Levenko and Lieutenant Hideyoshi on their performance. Levenko was able to evade enemy fire long enough for us to take down two enemy aces, of which Lieutenant Hideyoshi dealt the lion's share of the damage to. Their skill and tenacity was absolutely critical in ensuring our victory. Exarch With, ma'am, I know you've a thing for medals and accolades. If nothing else I believe this counts as a key position, and given the state of Arcturus, West, and myself, I'd call the opposition overwhelming. If I'm not mistaken, that qualifies them both for a Veil of Steel.
