Flash Point Imminent
11 Jul 2016Tristan Pacheco
After my triumphant return from the Battle of Daramo, I was promoted to the combat rank of Dangerous. This was the first open combat against Imperial Naval Vessels I've ever participated in. Needless to say, the Federation is letting it go to its head. President Hudson is riding his high horse straight into the Pleiades, which the Empire is not even pretending to not care about. They dispatched a Naval Task Force, and subsequently locked down the system...for a few hours. The arrival of 12 squadrons of the Federal Navy and two battlecruisers removed that blockade real quick. I've been discussing the prospect of war with my brothers in arms and we're all pretty certain that a hot war is inevitable at this point. So we've all banded together and pooled all of our connections together in preparation. The best leads we could come up with are some shady characters named Broo Tarquin and...Colonel Bris Dekker. Getting a hold of the former should be simple, but Dekker will be nigh-impossible. We need upgrades for our ships. Even an A-rated Corvette can only last so long in a combat zone where Cutters roam freely. Not that we'll be deployed in too much heavy combat at the outset of an actual war. More likely, our CTRG will be deployed behind enemy lines to steal enemy tech. Some of our newest inventions are already being deployed to the frontlines. I can't talk about them in this format, but soon. Sorry I haven't written in a while...again, but I've been incredibly busy. Right now I'm sitting in the Kamitra System, on a top secret assignment to make my way to Tarquin. My squadron's got my back, and some new equipment. We're gonna need it...
