    Raven has opted to use the variable performance Stork heavy bomber. With one gunner seat available, Bombers can release a nuklear payload that can be sent into drift, relative to the Bomber's speed. It can also be remotely detonated and allows for limited visibility into fog of war.

    "Right, since you were asking for it since NONE of you clearly read your pilot's manual, here's the firing info for Predators and Interceptors:"

    Interceptors: can fire up to two times before they need to reload once. After that, they need to return to the Mothership to rearm. The 7 means it requires a roll of =<7 to hit.

    Predators: can use a roll to fire their vulcan cannons (HEAT), which use 4 dice, and don't need to reload. Rockets, however, do need to reload after being used 6 times.

    Walker, a normally calm, if not eccentric individual, watches on the monitor aboard the bridge of The Lucky O'Reilly as Apollo, to get this plan to work, is attempting to ram - and subsequently ride - an asteroid into enemy lines, and certain doom. Even if Apollo is a clone, to Walker, this speaks of levels of the pilot's character. One of the bridge technicians sees Major Walker briefly bring a finger below his glasses.

    "Sir, are you alright? Is there a problem with your HUD?"

    "What? Oh, nothing son. Just a little speck of dust on my glasses, is all."

    It should be noted that most, if not all, ships, have a constant air-cycle system that keeps the ship's air immaculately clean and dust free.

    The Enemy has maintained silence for almost an hour now.

    It is highly probably that they have warped away. Congratulations.

    Unfortunately, the losses we have suffered and the damage to our craft puts us at a disadvantage should we engage in another battle in space.

    This is an odd proposal, but.
    Should we perhaps enlist the help of local privateers to see us out of this sector ? It will be another cycle before we meet with the Overseer.

    After talking with the CO, it has come to my observation that
    Apollo, and Wierd has displayed steadfast initiative and a composed intuition for spatial engagements. Our losses were heavy, that is a fact, but they could very well have ended in death.

    And so, Under Walker's recommendation, he has decided to step down from formal naval engagements and recognize Wierd as Naval CO rank Admiral and Apollo as Aerospace Captain. This promotion, should it go through comes with an extra clone.

    As well, I would like to recognze King, for his sheer talent tonight as well, shoot em down flyboy, you level up.
