Mission Report:

I've just finished listening to the accounts of the misson from those.. well those who were able to give me an account. What happened on that battleship sounds like some form of hell. The first half of the mission was done perfectly by the book with multiple aliens eliminated without a single injury. However once the first 2 out of 6 objectives were complete everything took a turn for the worse. A new alien weapon, floating in the air, unleashed devestation wounding two soldiers and left Lt. Pegg in critical condition. If Lt. Hourigan hadn't been there the only survivor of that damned first contact would be written on our memorial wall just like the rest of his squad. The team pulled togehter and completed the third and fourth objective before the worst of it hit them. Pushing through a door Zhang met attacks from multiple aliens... He didn't stand a chance and is body was returned to HQ in a bag... Squaddie M Davis then panicked and shot wildly, hitting the already injured Lt. Pegg further although he was still stable. Thanks to the level headed thinking and steady aim of Lt Hourigan, the last enemies were eliminated and the final two objectives secured.

All Enemies were elimanted but Agent Zhang becomes the first to fall since first contact.

All survivors were promoted and admitted to the infirmary. Lt Pegg's injuries have been marked as grave.

The council wanted a battleship? We gave them one and paid for it in blood.
