[MESSAGE BEGINS]
Today, a glorious day for the Revolution. Under my command, the Trotsky proceeded to Dublin. Almost immediately, I encountered a great deal of hostiles. I set a course away, but four of them maintained pursuit.
I ran a large circle around the Omega-49 Jumphole, trying to figure out a way to defeat my pursuers. They managed to disrupt my cruise engines once, but I managed to re-activate them. Soon after, I received word that the Havana itself was en-route. Unfortunately, it was a large distance away.
Trying to bide for time, I stopped my Cruise Engines near the Omega-49 Jumphole and began chatting with my pursuers. I'm fortunate they chose not to attack me immediately, for I would of been defeated. It seemed the enemy let their guard down a bit, with a Cruiser and a Hussar leaving the scene. I suppose they figured a Battleship and Gunboat could deal with the Trotsky should it become aggressive.
That was their critical mistake however, one which I exploited. I stalled for time by telling the story of the Two Cows, and discussing our ideology. Of course, I left a few parts out, as I didn't want to anger a Battleship sitting just 1 Kilometer away. Eventually, we got to the subject of comradeship. I said to them, "For you see, the Coalition always watches each others backs."
Perfectly timed, the Havana jumped in as soon as I had finished saying those words. The enemies panicked, not knowing what to do. We took advantage of the confusion and let loose on the Battleship. Mortar after Mortar from the Havana ripped its shields off, the Trotsky's own mortar assisting as well. Together, we brought down the Bretonian Battleship with minor damage. The Gunboat that accompanied it never stood a chance either. For some reason, it had opted to stay extremely close to the Havana. A fatal mistake.
Proud of our new victory, but weary that the Bretonians would mobilize even more vessels, we proceeded to Omega-49. When we arrived, we encountered a Zoner Jinkusu, the captain was level-headed and we had no issues. We did, however, have issues with a certain Gaian Gunboat that went by the name of Pyranja. It insulted both myself and Colonel Alvarez. We grew tired of it, and Havana quickly silenced him with a volley of weapons fire.
With the Havana needing slight repairs after the encounter with the Battleship, we set a course for Omega-52. The trip was uneventful, and we moored without issue.
