This is--:static:--chlid reporting in from the tau system. I am disgraced to say--:static:--was beaten in combat against a Kusari HF shortly before they made the push into the breto--:static:--system. I have been stranded for sometime without engines and luckily happend upon an old garbage freighter. The systems are all shot and barely able to summon the power to trans--:static:--message. I am however able to repair the engines into a somewhat functional state..
In the face of my failure and absents I lay myself at your mercy and plead to have a position back in your squadron. I will train --:static:--:faint sound of hammer beating metal:-- HARDER than before! I will fly any class vessel you see fit. I am aware that I am not up to date on our current role and politics in the system however I can refresh myself as soo--:static:--I get back.
