Red Tape

Sorry about not posting recently. After my find, I was immediately buried in red tape. Not that I blame Queiba Command in any way. Governments were made to bury people in red tape. Of course, I am supposed to keep this stupid thing updated all the time, but it's not like they can demote me now.

While on the afore-mentioned scout mission, Jorqia found a unknown ship on our scanners. Training states that if an unknown ship is discovered, to report it, attempt radio communication, then attack if hostile.

I hate training.

They attacked before we could even report their presence. Within the first minute of battle, our left engine got knocked out, and another minute in, our shielding got fried. Culuuo suggested a tactic used successfully in the Chii invasion. I thought my tactical officer was supposed to suggest tactics, not my engineer. Anyway, I had my ship skim over the surface of the ship, and by hiding between two vents we could hide until they stopped looking for us.

I had a video, but it's still in the labs being processed. I wonder if it's classified...
