Cdr. Amyus Bale - Personal log - May 27

Sq. John Glanville

Something unprecedented has happened.  A UFO has landed in Argentina.  I don't know how they slipped past our satellite - we only know because Raven-1 spotted the landing site on a scheduled flyover.  Before now the X-rays have always dropped landing pods, keeping their birds in the sky.

Gryspeerdt and Borg make a good team: they held things together.  Both will be promoted to Lieutenant.  Lambert is coming along well and can handle Corporal.  New squaddies Mitchell and Glanville aren't useless either.

Sq. Calum Mitchell

The Tokyo team will be on the flight to Argentina, minus Sq. Mitchell, who was hit by shrapnel.  Nugget James Arnold will fill his place.

Engineering will launch one of our satellites into synchronous orbit above India within the week.  It feels like a pebble dropped in a sea of hysteria, however.

Worse, this sat marks the extent of our current uplink capabilities.  Until we can get a new dish online - which means more space, more power - our other sats will have to languish in storage, while the enemy strikes at will.
