Privateer Captain George leads a naval task force through the enemy blockade
Admiral Hestorb sailed out in her personal yacht to see off Task Force 1. Schulmania’s greatest military operation to date is now underway.
Through the use of advanced and highly classified Schulminion technology, Task Force 2 as able to update Admiral Hestorb on its progress. The Office of Military technology was able to build this remarkable communication device by reverse engineering captured enemy hardware. This successful field test will offer Schulmania a new way to communicate across large distances.
This new invention is known for now as the “meowniphone”, but its inventor, Dr. Sheldon Cooper, has filed his patent papers calling it the “telepurr”. We will see which name prevails.
Privateer Captain George reported light resistance and smooth sailing out of the blockade zone. It appears that the diversion created by Task Force 1 was convincing, pulling enemy ships out of position to confront a phantom enemy. This ships of Task Force 1 were lightly armed and equipped with many escape boats.
As expected, Task Force 1 was decimated by enemy forces. But, with very few crew aboard, casualties were very light. And the mission was accomplished.
In the Third Fleet, several ST members served with distinction in helping to bring this part of the missing to a successful conclusion. Those earning the Oceanic Expeditionary Forces Ribbon are Crewman Brick Tamland, Warrant Officer Sir Tricky, and Lieutenant Harold Mew. LT Harold Mew earned the first Hestorb Navy Cross for his daring charge against enemy vessels, successfully ramming his wooden ship into an enemy steel-hulled ship before safely evacuating his crew. And, even better, his ship was filled with bombs. So, score one for the good guys!
The Supreme Wirdle checked Schul Facebook on her iPurr and saw that George had made a status update on his page: “Insertion successful. Garrison on New Hestorbia resupplied. Now to begin Operation Bragg Book.” She smiled, knowing that her secret plan was finally underway.
