Revelations of the attack on the megaship by forces possibly related to Azimuth Biochemicals fail to convince politicians that there is a fresh need for Aegis, especially given its unsatisfactory efforts to repel the Thargoids. Many senior military figures among the superpowers change their focus to coordinating with Salvation, and channels of secondment are opened to allow naval crews to serve on Salvation's vessels without resigning. In related news, a public ceremony is planned to posthumously award medals of honour to the late Captain Jacob Morales and the Alexandria's crew. | |||
