Salvage vessels were able to reach the CPR-Kerimov this morning to inspect the damage. The additional armour plating of the vessel we attached took the brunt of the assault leaving much of the original ship intact.
The vessel was taken out of action when the forward guidance engines were damaged by heavy weapons fire that severed a number of conduits aboard the ship. Engineering Specialists from our salvage crews were able to make a patch to the system allowing the vessel to limp back to our shipyards for repairs.
I am pleased to report that there was not damage to the RECON system, nor to many of the ships systems, but there were a number of structural issues that must be addressed before the vessel is spaceworthy.
Lt. Commander Razin will make a full report on what happened to his ship, but project Umbrella was not affected by the boarding party, and completely ignored. The Phantoms were only interested in a biological device that Recon Three brought back on his last mission.
We had no time to study this device, so it is not possible to tell you exactly what they were after. But they successfully recovered it, and it is my opinion that they will not strike again.
