Good Evening Officers

Following a rather large battle between the Armed Forces and some Gallic fighters Commodore Davis handed command over to myself, after the original group had dispersed leaving myself, Ensign Davis, and the HMS Thunderer of the 13th Northern Fleet. My intention was originally to preform a patrol around Bretonias outlying systems, Manchester, Cambridge ect, with Ensign Davis. However to my misfortune she was technically on leave following the battle. To my luck though Lieutenant Bloom and Eagle007 managed to come in just enough time for the plans to be salvaged. My intention was for our small squad to rendez-vous at the Battleship Norfolk. Bloom arrived in good time but it appeared that Eagle007 was still just leaving Southampton, in order to make best use of the time I informed Eagle to meet myself and Bloom at the Cambridge Jump Gate in New London. While myself and Bloom patrolled Cambridge, from the Omega 3 Jump gate, and splitting up so we could cover both the lanes via Planet Cambridge and the lanes via the Cardiff Mining Facility.

After the system had been checked myself and Bloom met in front of the Jump gate and reported our findings. We had both found them uneventful and so continued onto New London. Where we met Eagle007 who had been waiting patiently by the jump gate.

With the three of us assembled I explained the planned patrol route to Bloom and Eagle.

As is explained in this Audio file, the intended route was to go through New London, onto Manchester, through Manchester and move through to Magellan then via the jump hole move through to Leeds where we would move onto Dublin, completing our patrol.

As we approached the Jump Gate to Manchester however I received a transmission from a transport. In the message the transport mentioned that it had important material for Planet Harris and requested an escort. I realised that this could be easily accomidate without ruining the planned patrol. So I gave the transport instruction to remain near the meeting point for our arrival.

When we arrived I made it clear that we would only be able to escort it to the jump gate to the Taus. From then on in it was only a short trip, which was patrolled by other Armed forces patrols which could take over. I gave instructions as too the escort plan, with Eagle007 taking point, scouting ahead, Bloom following just after the transport and myself covering the rest of the rear.

The trip was marginally uneventful until we reached Stokes. The HMS-Thunderer reported a sighting of a Gaian artifact Smuggler in Cambridge. Realising time was of the essence I instructed Eagle007 to see the transport to the Jump gate leading to the Taus, and return to us once we was done, while myself and Bloom moved to assist the HMS-Thunderer.

Our intention was to continue on through New London - and onto Cambridge, however the HMS-Thunderer mentioned that the smuggler was making its way to a jump hole leading to Leeds. Instinctively we altered our course in order to make our way to the jump hole in Leeds which lead to Cambridge. While this was happening I made it clear to the HMS-Thunderer that it was to hold the smuggler until our arrival, since past altercations with the 13th Northern fleet had often got out of hand.

On our way there Bloom cleverly pointed out that it may attempt to make its way to Dublin, noticing this Eagle007, who had by this time started making his way back too us, was instructed to block the Dublin jump hole. A few minutes later myself and Bloom arrived on the scene too find Eagle007 standing by on the Dublin jump hole and the HMS-Thunderer holding the Gaian smuggler by the jump hole.

We demanded the Gaian drop the artifacts however, clearly over estimating his luck, refused. After several attempts at gaining his cooperation we realised this was going nowhere and the order was given to open fire and gain the artifacts by force. This proved to be successful and once the ship had been destroyed and its contents flying free we followed up by destroying all traces of the contraband.

I then returned to Planet Leeds where I am currently writing this report.

I would like to say I was extremely impressed by the actions of all the ships under my command today, all followed their instructions to the letter and were determined in their work.
Both with Lieutenant Bloom assisting in the issuing of commands fluently, and Eagle007 following his commands to the letter.
Especially the '13th Northern Fleet' which i have found at times to be a bit quick to the trigger, however I am pleased to say that the HMS-Thunderer proved me wrong on this occasion by staying his hand and managing to successful detain the transport without the use for lethal force.

As well as this I would like to request consideration for the rank of Lieutenant Commander
To this date I have achieved:
153 hours of active flight time
13 Patrol reports
And a attitude level of 3
