Lieutenant Commander Ames Defacto is the Second Officer of SS Charm Quark, Quasar 15A bomber.As the alert status reduced to ORANGE then the need for both attack squadrons to be ready diminished, thus SS Charm Quark was released for other duties. Although we are primarily a bomber of course we do perform other duties of course to boost training, testing and increase morale.
Because of the still tense situation any alternative duties will remain short-term (and short-range) jobs so we can return to our primary role very quickly. Yesterday we began a 4 day deployment on a mapping mission near New Jakarta. As we were close to the border with the HCS (at one point of our programme we will be less than a light year from Oscar) it was also an opportunity to show the flag. A HCS warship (a Cosmos CK) shadowed us for a few hours yesterday. This happens normally anyway but the recent tensions have added a new bite to it.
Tomorrow we will be closest to Oscar, thats when we expect the most attention from the Clones. This ship will be on full alert though we do not expect anything to happen, but we will be ready of course if it does.
