***Subject: Completing report of Lt.Cdr. Goodmen***

After the events described above, I launched to space to find Invictus and Redoubt, under the command of Goodmen and McDonald, and their escorts fighting two Kusarian Destroyers right in front of Leeds. I arrived late, as they had situation already under control.

I took over command and we were patrolling Leeds' orbit for some time. We had company of Lady Tarrant, and some random bounty hunter named Clown. He wasn't really nice to the Lady, but shooting him could provoke the Guild unnecessarily.

I received some signals from our Tau patrols. There were Colonial ships present in the area in large numbers. After docking the heavy stuff and taking the Templars out, we moved there to see what they're up to. Our patrol consisted of me, Ensign Bridge, Ensign Woodrow, reserve pilot Chester Holt and Lieutentant Commander Goodmen.

As we reached MacDuff, we set course for Tau 23 gate. There we encountered one Colonial Nyx, Cobra was his name I think. We had more in numbers, so he clearly wasn't looking forward to fight, and I didn't want to endanger our ensigns. More Colonials arrived though, and situation was getting serious.

After a few minutes of stalemate situation, Colonials decided to clear the way and we proceeded in our patrol. Very soon after that, we found their leader, Panzer, alone. Goodmen found interesting stuff in his hold and demanded some of it as an evidence. He didn't refuse, he even gave us one crate of Gallic Tobacco. After I asked...

Either way, he left peacefully then and we could finish our patrol.

Colonials were apparently trying to police the Tau sector, looking for smugglers and pirates, not for us or anything. Attacking them at Holman when Yamaguchi is nearby would be suicidal, so I didn't take any action. It is to be noted that their presence there is getting higher, and should be prevented if possible. They could cut the Tau 29 station off our supplies if they'd want to.

Note: Lady Tarrant should be... told to not mess into BAF business, or at least listen to out officers. She's getting into trouble whereever she can. She insisted on going with us into dangerous Taus, even when we clearly said no. We had to take extreme measures of running away and shutting the lanes behind us. Even then she found her way there and almost got lost in the ice fields. She's putting her life into danger without reason, and I refuse to take responsibility if something happens to her if she doesn't listen to our orders. If she wants to accompany us in dangerous missions, she does that at her own risk.

Signed,

Captain Jacob Carter
