Subject: Director 1
Species: Classified
Description: Classified
D4: I've got the after action report opened. The Armstrong kamikaze'd?
D5: It would appear so.
O: Correct. The vessel's FTLD was crippled and Captain Neil was left with the decision to shut the ship down and certainly die, or to use the FTLD to destroy the enemy.
D4: An unenviable choice. I take it you know this because you were the classified crewmember?
O: Correct.
D2: Why were you aboard?
O: Captain Neil asked to speak to me. We became acquainted during his time aboard the USSS Nidhogg and he sought my advice. Before our conversation concluded the OU attacked and I volunteered to assist as shipboard AI.
D2: Did you retrieve your blackbox?
O: Yes.
D2: Death has long been a fascination of yours. Did you find it illuminating?
D4: That's irrelevant. Discuss it in your personal time.
D2: Forgive me. Returning to the subject at hand, what was our total casualty count?
D5: 48 damaged vessels. 1 destroyed. 103 total casualties. 72 dead, 31 injured. Better than it could have been, considering the enemy had more than double what we thought they would.
