“Form the ranks! We are holding this position.”

Conclusion
Image
Major Natalya: “So you just left them there.”
Nadia: “An aerial intervention was out of the question because of the obelisks and-.”
Natalya interrupts her.
“Yes, of course.. And the Black Bird. What is it?”
Nadia: “The Black Bird was supposed to be the symbol of Noxar power but the project was way too ambitious. It required everything to be redesigned: Engines, landing gears, weaponry,... It was a fantasy from the start. Titan Starship ended up losing a ton of money and the Ship was never build.



Image
Natalya: “One last thing. What was Niav promoted to?”
Nadia looked at the window briefly before answering.
“Captain of the Galaxy..”
Major Natalya: “Well played.”



Image
Natalya:“We're done here. Get back to the Ship.”
The Assyrians left the Galaxy.



Image
Nadia: “ I don't trust her. Get ready to move!”
First Officer: “Captain. We have received a communication from the supervisor. You are to report immediately to Deep Space Management headquarter.”
Nadia: “You look formal..”



Image
Natalya: “Report.”
Officer: “We gained access to their main computer but we will need some time to hack all the data.”
Natalya: “Excellent.”



The end!

I'm a little sad that Flyer-1 didn't get to do more. It just looked so sweet. Alas, poor Flyer-1, we hardly knew thee. You are with the rocket-powered laser-armed death angels now. Farewell... :cry:

But in all seriousness, everything was magnificent. I just have a soft spot in my heart for cool spaceships.

Yeah, I don't want to gush or anything but I'm going to go ahead and gush. You had me with An Old Friend. You are masterfully creative with Battle Reports as a whole. Your set design is gorgeous and your attention to detail nothing short of legendary. And your photos are clean and clear. The more I reread, the more I like. I've referenced the other one a few times already when talking about good BRs with people. Just really good stuff, mate. Your efforts are very much appreciated.

I love the detail in the ships, but the background scenery is also nice. You seem to have a special talent for making BURPs and LURPs look like they just blend right in.
