HMS-Ocean

[Asbestos]

Captain's log, 032518

Mollys, Mollys, Mollys. I had no idea they infested the system of Manchester so heavily! I'm amazed Kingston and Liverpool Border Stations haven't been overrun by those crooks yet! We suffered one of their attacks today, probably aimed for Newgate penitentiary. I only hope we can replace our losses the Mollys inflicted on us before they were driven off; good fighter pilots are hard to come by these days. Every ship lost is close to irreplaceable.

Well, good news at least! We managed to apprehend many more of them, and they're all being ferried to Newgate as I speak. Good thing the Ocean's been stationed in Manchester, crime is running amok. At least the miners on Birmingham will be pleased with lesser attacks on their operations.

Detained Mollys

I had a long and good conversation with a friendly Junker, miss Suzume, captain of the Lonely.Sparrow{ST}. Bit shy at first, but I managed to get her talking. Actually, she couldn't shut herself up! Her communicator malfunctioned, transmitting her every word she spoke, all across the system channel. I hope we meet again, as I enjoyed our chat. Sadly, most of the passers by are quiet as mice. It's nice to have someone talk back, for a change!

The bow of the HMS Ocean, Manchester System

By the bye, I came in contact with Commander Barker's relative. Benjamin was his name, should be easy enough to remember. We only talked briefly, but he seemed to be an upstanding good man! Perhaps I can convince Commander Barker to have Benjamin transferred to the Ocean's fighter corps! Hah!
