opening log:

Well. where too start? the Aeria has been severly damaged in a fight againt an Corsair legate. those things are quite sturdy. I think they are hewed out of solid concrete. the thing just wouldn`t blow up.

we took massive fire from the dreadnought. the side thrusters weren`t working properly so we couldn`t evade as good as we could have. after a severe beating the core went berserk and all systems shut down and an explosion cleared out the 1st engine room. 12 deads so far, will be more I guess. we still haven`t been able to clear out the debris on deck 4 where the enige room was located. it`s a bloody mess. with the emphasis on "bloody".

1 good thing though: Misery`s been seriously injured. he took a face full of glass and metal when the left terminal wall on the bridge exploded after a mortar hit the Aeria whilst the shield was down. He`s in medical now, still unconcious. I`m sure his looks won`t improve when they yank all the excess material from his face and chest. I quietly hope that he won`t ever wake up...

if he finds out his guitar was left on board as all hands abbandoned ship, all hell will break loose.

so summarise: the Aeria Gloris is out of commission. the immobile wreckage was salvaged and is in dock 3 now on dabadoru, undergoing repairs. will take some time to get her sorted...

EDIT:

just received word that 3 more bodies were found on deck 4. also, one of the lads who was in medical died. so we are at 16 dead now, 37 injured including the commander and Biggunz.

guess I have all the time in the world now to play some poker, hone my skills for when Misery wakes up. if ever.

end of log.

WE NEED BIGGER GUNS!

man, what an embarresing sight. we might as well have thrown rocks at the bleedin`canniball boat.

argh!

I`m gonna see if I can get 2 more reactors fit on the Aeria, and 30 more turrets.

damnit! and why did they pump me full of morfine? that stuff makes me too damn frisky.

end of log.
