Rachel appears on the screen, slowing raising her arm in a salute.
"Sirs I..regret to inform you of this but, I have...I have failed in my duties as an Officer and as a Sailor in the Liberty Navy."
Rachel stops to draw in a quick breath.
"Today, not long ago...a Rheinland vessel called "Verfolger" was...encountered in Texas space, we came across it, taking notice that it was...gathering information on, well, it appeared he was scanning the Huntsville prison station, we moved to intercept and then proceeded to give chase..."
Rachel pauses again, looking away from the monitor and slamming her fist against the console nearby, cursing under her breath as she did so.
"As we pursued it...the Rheinland vessel continued to scan Libertonian military facilities...mostly the communications satellites that blanket the Texas system...Sir I failed to stop him, We engaged it several times but couldn't get a bead on it...so that damned guy is cruising back to Rheinland with, God knows what kind of information on our communications networks!...And it's my damn fault Sir...I suggest we change the Security codes and data...contained on every satellite system in Texas, I can't forgive myself for this sir but..."
Rachel pauses yet again and takes a look around the bridge of her gunboat.
"...I'll do my damnedest to make sure...no, I -will- kill every gorramned Rheinlander that gets in my way from this point on, no mercy, no prisoners, I'll kill them all damnit!"
Rachel pounds her fist on the table nearby and then swings at the communications monitor, causing the screen to go black.
