Princess Aisling offers redemption and enlightenment.

I was given an opportunity to reduce my sentence by completing a rehabilitation program. It was not the flight school refresher that I had expected it to be.In the covert embrace of Aisling's Angels rehabilitation program, images unfolded, revealing a stark contrast between the conflicting ideologies in the galaxy.
The holographic displays revealed the brutal truth about the Empire and the Federation. Honest depictions portrayed the Empire's flaws and the Federation's inclination towards overwhelming strength. Princess Aisling emerged as a symbol of progress, a bridge between conflicting factions.
As scenes of war, political scheming, and exploitation played out, Aisling's vision stood out — a vision of unity and understanding. The program painted her as a humanitarian force, capable of bringing balance to the chaos.
With newfound clarity, Commander Jambrick recognizes the delicate equilibrium required for the crew's success. Aisling Duval's progressive ideals resonate, presenting a path toward unity amidst the chaos of the Thargoid conflict and beyond.
The crew, unbeknownst to the covert rehabilitation program, has gathered to welcome me back to the helm.
Lynda Fox:
Commander, the crew is assembled for your return. Shall I initiate the welcoming ceremony?
Jayde Cross:
About time you got back, Commander. Did you explain to the judge that it is more fun to fly dangerously? It's good to have you back. We managed without you, but it's not the same without your voice giving orders.
Taylor McGuire:
Commander, the crew's excited for your return. Shall I prepare the welcome message?
Commander Jambrick:
I appreciate the sentiment.
The central hub comes alive as the crew gathers, an unspoken acknowledgment of the bonds forged through shared missions and challenges.
Lynda Fox:
Commander Jambrick, on behalf of the crew, welcome back to command. Your guidance has been missed, and your presence is a source of strength for us all.
Jayde Cross:
Don't get used to the compliments, Commander. We're not going soft on you.
Taylor McGuire:
Commander, the crew has prepared a welcome message. Would you like me to play it?
Commander Jambrick:
Lynda, Jayde, Taylor, thank you. Play the message, Tay-Mac.
Message Plays:
Images of past missions, victories, and moments of camaraderie fill the central display. The crew's words, a tapestry of camaraderie and respect, resonate through the ship.
Lynda Fox:
Commander, we're ready for your orders. The crew stands united under your command.
Our mission ahead is clear as we set course for the Ptah system, patrolling for Zachary Hudson pledged ships. The objective: neutralize their vessels and recover the crew alive for rehabilitation under Aisling's Angels.
Lynda Fox:
Commander, all systems are online, and the crew is ready for deployment.
Jayde Cross:
Finally, a mission with some action. Commander, any preferred tactics for engaging Hudson's ships?
Taylor McGuire:
Commander, FSD interdictor module ready and available to assign fire mode.
Commander Jambrick:
Lynda, ensure all systems are at peak performance. Jayde, prioritize disabling the enemy vessels. We want their crews intact. Tay-Mac, assign fire mode where collector controller was previously.
Our objective is twofold: eliminate Zachary Hudson's pledged ships and ensure the survival of their crews. Aisling Duval's vision of unity and rehabilitation guides our actions. While we engage in combat, our focus remains on creating opportunities for understanding and redemption.
As we glide through the vastness of Ptah, our sensors pick up the distinct signatures of Federal logistics vessels on patrol. The enemy is near, and our ship readies for engagement.
Lynda Fox:
Commander, Federal logistics vessels detected on our scanners. Shall we proceed with engagement?
Jayde Cross:
About time. I'll take the lead, disable their engines, and make sure their crew has a rough ride.
Taylor McGuire:
Commander, alignment and distance optimal. On your word.
Commander Jambrick:
Number One, prepare for engagement. Ms. Cross, disable their engines, but ensure the crew remains unharmed. Tay-Mac, initiate.
In the cold void of space, our ship gracefully maneuvers into position. Jayde's fighter deploys, swiftly disabling the engines of the Federal logistics vessels. The objective is clear — neutralize the threat, collect the escape pods.
Lynda Fox:
Targets neutralized, Commander. Crews intact and ready for recovery.
Jayde Cross:
That was almost too easy. These Hudson loyalists need a reality check.
Taylor McGuire:
Commander, Aisling's Angels acknowledge our success. Standing by for further instruction.
Commander Jambrick:
Lynda, prepare for the recovery operation. Jayde, stand by for extraction. Taylor, coordinate with Aisling's Angels for the crew transfer.
As our ship gracefully maneuvers, the cargo scoop is deployed to safely recover the immobilized Federal logistics vessels' crews and any salvageable wreckage. The operation is swift, calculated, and aligned with the progressive ideals we uphold.
Lynda Fox:
Recovery complete, Commander. The crews are secure for transfer to Aisling's Angels.
Jayde Cross:
Let's hope they learn something from this. Maybe they'll think twice before pledging to Hudson.
Taylor McGuire:
Commander, Aisling's Angels express their gratitude. We are instructed to hold the crew for pickup at the fleet carrier and run the media program through the escape pods.
Commander Jambrick:
Make it so. Return to patrol after securing the prisoners.
We continued collecting crew from federal logistics, doing our best to keep them alive, but many did not survive combat and none surrendered peacefully.
