This is Comms Operator, Office of IMG Dublin Operations, Veronica Ryan speaking:
1. Nomad Vessels engaged, IMG Defence Wing lost
2345 CET IMG Defence Wing engaged an Nomad gunship and another smaller enemy vessel in combat, following orders given by the Directors of IMG to solve the Nomad issue near Hood.
The strength of the Nomad gunboat was underestimated and all IMG Defence ships were lost as a consequence. IMG lost 4 VHF and 1 Bomber, several light and one serious injured pilot are the result of this fight.
Until requested reinforcements arrive, HMS Carmarthen agreed to step up security in the Hood perimeter to avoid any further attacks by a nomad force that IMG fighting units could not overcome. Considering the absence of IMG-owned capital warships in Dublin, this was the only chance to secure the perimeter against Nomad attacks.
2. Rules of Engagement on Nomad Vessels: Destroy when near Hood
Every Nomad activity in the IMG Zone of influence is to be considered a threat. The IMG does not actively support or passively tolerate Nomad activities. In case of gunboat-sized enemy units, call Mollys or BAF for assistance. These ships have excessive destruction power that was greatly underestimated in the first engagement.
3. Ms. Anna McCarthy does not work for IMG any more
Anna McCarthy has been relieved from her contracts with Mr. Jack Henderson and IMG. She is free to go after the IMG transponder registration of her ship has been removed.
4. Status of the injured in Battle 2345 CET
Minor injuries were inflicted in most cases.
I regret to inform you that Mr. Jack Henderson was injured seriously in the destruction of his ship after the attack on Nomad vessels, 2345 CET. His condition is serious but not life threatening. He is being transferred to an undisclosed location for further treatment.
Veronica Ryan - Out.
