Return of the Bastet

[Tenacity]

Mathews looked curiously at the spokesman before responding, "Admiral Seith, I do not know you, and I am rather shocked at you standing in Admiral Malacos' place, it is apparent that many things have changed within the Order since our departure. Perhaps it would have been better, had we not gone with Admiral Kimura... but I trusted her judgement and followed her Orders. Unfortunately I am not entirely privy to the knowledge she had, and I'm sure that if she was here today her arguments would have you responding differently."

"I am only going off what little I know, that we were searching for some kind of artifact that Aki had a premonition of. During that search, we destroyed numerous infected vessels throughout the entirety of Sirius, and we lost the Admiral to a new alien threat in the process."

"Do with myself and my crew what you must, but we had to make a choice between following our Admiral and Captain, or submitting to a Court Martial transmission with seemingly no reason behind it. I really have no other information to give beyond that... check the ship logs of the Bastet and you will find more information regarding what occurred during our absence from Order space."
