"That last night the alarms had been almost constant. I was up on deck when I heard the rush of the Battle Saucers overhead, and then everything exploded. Somehow I survived the blast but debris sealed the hatch and I couldn't get back into the bunker. I could hear them coming back to finish the job when I realized that the Lucas 9 was also stuck outside with me."

"They told me later that I hit the Command Saucer by surprise, and that on the way down it took out a second target. Honestly though, the last thing I remember on the ground was opening up that gamma cannon in total darkness and trying to aim by the light of the muzzle flare. I figured I was a goner. It was very unprofessional of me, but they gave me a Red Foil Star anyway. It's weird what passes for bravery sometimes."
