[Lafiel]

This was awkward one of those awkward moments of mixed feelings were one is lost as to what one should do. Although her stomach felt tight and she was nervous Countess Lafiel Tarrant had been persuaded that this was for the best even though it hurt was it hurt yes that felt like one of the many feelings in the mix as she stood nervously outside the door to Fleet Admiral Nelson's office. She wore a lovely white dress and had dressed nicely for the occasion as she tried to convince herself it was just like meeting an admiral when she was little except they weren't dancing at one of fathers banquet and Fleet Admiral Lord Nelson wasn't one of the admirals she had danced with not that she remembered clearly enough.

Just as she almost decided to turn from the door in front of her and lose her nerve that this was the right thing completely her hand betrayed her and knocked softly on the door. She suddenly heard Lord Nelson's voice bark "Enter." She turned the door Knob and entered. Pleasantries were exchanged and she found herself sitting in a chair oposite him under his strong gaze. She felt shy and put both her hands in her Lap with the report. It took her a moment but she began discussing the matter she had personally brought forward to him today and handed him the report she had written up.

************************************************************
Lord Nelson I under the strong advisement of a certain commander and captain within the armed forces am here by writing you this report. It saddens me that I have been persuaded to write this I feel rather awkward and like I am betraying a friend and one of the many I have grown to see as family in these many months.

I fear I must report to you something concerning your officer Lieutenant Commander Austin Goodmen.
It is in my thoughts that he requires immediate medical attention albeit I did not think of this till this day.
I believe he has had a breakdown or two... It began in recent days gone by..... on a secure frequency Goodmen, Bridge and myself were discussing goodmens past or rather he was telling us I don't remember how it came up I do believe it is known privately of said individual's past and people known as the Wilde...an incidents befalling.... Well he spoke of all his past he suddenly said something strange if I recall something about turning oneself into the Kusari or something he then he vanished he closed down the military frequency and headed to leeds I followed him after it suddenly pinged something wasn't right. Well he got very far ahead of me I eventually found him in Orkney. Though by then it is of my opinion he was raving madly and suicidal I couldn't find him anywere I managed after calling him to rouse him on the common frequency albeit he didn't help me find him an save him I had to be careful what I said it was the automatic distress beacon that saved him I found him using that.

You my see my records of the conversation here: http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?sh...=55938&st=0

After this incident in orkney and the two long days goodmen spent suffering in such an environment of a damaged space craft which must have taken its toll I left him at a BMM facility upon his return to Leeds he was.... Captured by an Order Battleship... I in my rash attempts to save him was also taken onboard shortly followed by bridge who had been after me. In all honesty I can't remember what happened onboard the battleship all I remember is Goodmen at one stage had had a knife to my throat. I think... something was going to happen... violent...I think I had been trying to stop goodmen from getting himself killed but he in turn put the knife to my throat and turned it on me.... I can't remember what else had happen I was by my ship in a cargo bay there was blood when I had put a hand to the back of my head.... The commodore of the battleship was screaming to medical teams or something I don't know I passed out apparently goodmen I believe might have attacked me... when I came too I was in a medical facility on the ship... I asked were goodmen and ensign bridge were he had said they had left of free will as I was free to go as well now that I was patched up.

Upon returning to Leeds at a later date I found goodmen I was halfway between leeds and stokes observing his dealings with a Gaian.... When the Gaian had suddenly threatened him he had told the gaian to kill me at least three times. The gaian didn't take trying to sacrifice my life well and attacked goodmen.. upon his attacking goodmen. Goodmen attacked me my paladin lost its shields and his weapons bit half way through my hull till he had to flee due to the gaian.

Records of common an military frequency: Rec 1 Rec 2

Events moved fast then I had contacted officer harding about goodmens attack on me at first he looked into it then I found myself suddenly ousted from the military frequency as far as I know I have just as equal a right to be present and only you or Lord canning might prevent me from being connected to that channel I do believe. All lawfuls ceased complete communication with me I was very scared and not thinking very well I had at first suspected some sort of plot later to find out it was not the case but when I was hurting inside and in shock over a friend attacking me someone one loves attacking you yes I would say love I love you all you are family collegues people all worthy of ones love. I did something rash I flew to Kusari space I got all the way into New tokyo I didn't care whether I would die why would I had just been attacked at home by ones own people an officer of her majesties armed forces.... a friend... what would it matter if they had killed me I was going to die back home or have suddenly get attacked out of nowere by goodmen and murdered in cold blood and you know well amusing enough I got all the way to Tokyo system I decided to come back after a private transmission came through from goodmen to return and he would tell me everything and the reasons. Alas when I was in Kyushu on my return back because I was curious now to know what he had to say Goodmen and other officers arrived to bring me back I was shocked an at first unwilling but their presence had given away the fact I was present in Kusari and I was kidnapped from my wreckless dangerous tour back to Leeds when I arrived... the conpiratory silence resumed and Goodmen I can officially say Lied to me... he didn't tell me anything he remained silent I was most put out that he had now not only tried to kill me but also Lied to me the latter is a much graver offense.

In addition after the battle more recently in cambridge I was at a later time told to leave the military channel by him he attempted to sway the other people or rather other more senior officers to remove the brat as he put it from the communication channel though this was in vain they were not swayed like the lower ranked officers and Police officer harding back at the incident in Leeds as this was not accomplished.... He left the channel to which he began disobeying Captain Owens orders yes I do believe it was Owen to rejoin the military communication frequency.

I have to my sudden realisation decided that it is not goodmens faultthat he tried to attack me and he is not a traitor to the crown or to me the aforemention events must have caused him to break down under stress or pressure... or there is something mentally unstable happening... He is not the same man that saved me from the gaian Ritsuka when I was taken hostage.... he needs immediate attention my Lord Nelson.

I was counciled well more of persuaded to report this to you I was hesitant at first because I have mixed feelings on this... I don't won't him to be in any trouble over a medical issue... or have a friends life well friend on my part as you all are life destroyed over such none sense and stupidty but the offers that counciled me are right and it would be negligent for me to not tell you for he could harm himself again... or another innocent person an it would hurt more badly than if I were to die should an innocent bretonian or human being for that matter suffer due to goodmens actions whilst he is not .... not himself.

I apreciate your time and efforts looking into this matter.

The Countess of Araluen Lafiel Tarrant of Cambridge

************** end of report ****************

There conversation was brief he had assured her that he would look at the report but their conversation had gone other places and to other subjects. She was surprised by the time when she left and felt content that the Admiral was the best person to have informed for better or for worse should either come of this report.
