1 o'clock, SMT
Stokes mining station

"Sod this!", Jacob was cursing while dodging enemy fire. Bloody gunboats! They were quite far from Stokes, after the enemy commander was captured, they were left alone, outnumbered by Kusari forces. The fight lasted already for very long, and Kusarians kept coming.

-Shields failed-

"Damn"

His Paladin was left unshielded to gunfire from a gunboat.

-Incoming missile-

He let out few more curses and started throwing countermeasures to space. Sadly, gunboat missiles were hard to be fooled by them.

Beeping from the console disappeared when the missile missed. "Thank god" he said to himself. Large explosion followed his words.

-Hull breach imminent-

He quickly gone evasive, used the few nanobots he had and checked the damage. He saw -very- bad thing. Powerplant cooling was destroyed. He was quite unuseful from now, as any larger amount of his fire would overheat the powerplant and it could explode.

"Commander Hobart, I am disengaging, this thing is falling apart, I cant do any help now", he shouted trough comms.

Few minutes later

Jacob's Paladin was looking terribly damaged. In fact, it was more damaged than it looked it is. He luckily managed to get to Leeds alive.

As soon as he jumped off the ship, he opened cargo hold. He caught one pod in the fight. It was Ramey. He opened the pod. The Lieutentant inside was okay, maybe a bit confused. Still he insisted that they get him to hospital, just in case.

He noticed a crowd of people standing not far away from the landing pad. A bunch of pressmen were waiting there. "I am going to shoot someone", muttered Jacob for himself. Admiral Nelson ordered them to be polite before the fight however. Just because of good name of Bretonia Armed Forces in newspaper. Bah.

"Lieutentant Commander Carter is it?", asked one of them.
"Aye, I am"

"Were you in the fight?"
"Is it true that you shot down four enemy ships?"
"Do you know Lieutentant Goodmen, who saved the Prime minister? Was he in the fight?"
"Why you didnt continue in fighting?"
...

"STOP THIS!... Please", he shouted suddenly, "There is a war going on, and you care about such petty problems. There are men dying in the space. Leave this area and so something bloody useful!"

They were stunned by his words for a while. It wasnt very diplomatic move from him, but he had enough of this.

"And yes, I scored four hits today", he added, with a grin smile on his face. "Lads, show these men the way out please.", he told to some ensigns standing nearby, and continued on his way out of there.
