This is Captain Daryev, of the Schmetterling. As we head into this engagement, I wanted to take the time to give a written assessment of the tactical situation.

Aboard TCS Astrid – The eerie glow of the flames as they burned in that peculiar way that they will when being fed oxygen from inside a starship only to dissipate their heat into the cold nothingness of space.

Dear Mom:

All is well here on the blue planet. We are having a great time vacationing.

Delille, Talbot – In a brash move, members of the group Concord Free Now, or CFN for short, took control of the main headquarters of Thorn Industries on the asteroid called Delille.

Spes, Hammer’s Star – Without warning, a massive alien fleet surged into the Hammer’s Star system.

CSS Trader Dawn, Calesque – Concord Administrators are usually focused on making treaties, keeping the peace, and getting into other people’s business, but today Administrator Kharls, aboard Trader Dawn signed a formal colonization agreement with Kaiste, the leader of the free sesheyan colony that was saved from an ecological disaster off of Rhynchus in the Thalaassa system some weeks ago.

Downunder, Grith, Corrivale – Earlier today we simple colonists, and followers of the simple life looked to be on the front lines and able to watch a clash demonstrating the evils of technology.

Need a writeup of your time in Thalassa system. You got there. Were attacked by the globes again. That Inoan ship that you transferred your crewmember to helped out. you saw the big carrier starrise, and then starfall again almost immediately. You discovered the “bomb” and went to Rhynchus. You met the sesheyans there. Your ship informed you of the nature of the “bomb,” it destroys the atmosphere for a period of weeks or months, thus offing all inhabitants. A second bomb was reported being dropped on Rhynchus, and the atmosphere started dissolving. You got ships from Phorcys and Ino to help. Lots of the small globes showed up. You had to jump to Corrivale.

Can somebody make a writeup for this? When you first got into the Corrivale system (you were coming to transfer two crew members), you were attacked by small ovoid ships. You managed to fight off the attackers, and recover the remains of a body that turned out to be one of the colonists that disappeared at Hammer’s star. You lost a crewmember, one of the two who was going to transfer anyways. Ondway also was aware of this, and seemingly Sesheyans have been abducted. He had the body of a Sesheyan that had been Kroathed. You also got the idea that something was going on in the Thalaasa system.

Need a writeup. On this date you guys had delivered your latest run of Rhodium, and were about to set off to Corrivale to transfer two members of your crew to another Thorn ship.
