Addressed To; Office of Commander Nate Novel Delivered From; 1st Lieutenant Kolme Nilas CC; [CONTACT GROUP] - Fluchtig Heads of Staff Date; 13/01/TA425 Classification; Heads of Staff & Above. Subject Matter; Una O' Conchabhair
In relation to what we verbally discussed earlier today, this memo is to document a desire from my squad, as well as the heads of staff for mechanics, engineering, fitting and other involved parties - Not to launch an investigation into the final actions of 2nd-Crewmen Una O' Conchabhair.
It was believed Una was both mentally and physically in too much pain to so much as walk, in spite of this she managed to make her way to the Fluchtig's hanger-bay and then pilot the MBT-Mk2 into battle.
I don't know if any of us can imagine how painful an action this must of been and how much determination and willpower it would of required on her part - That said I think it would be wrong to blame anyone for this course of actions, the Head-Fitter tasked with watching over her couldn't of known she would take such drastic action - And the mechanics who Una held at gunpoint until they handed over the MBT's keys, can hardly be blamed for being busy with their duties when it happened.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
No one expected Una to forcefully steal a mech in her condition - But more than that, we believe to investigate, to attempt to attribute 'blame', would be to devalue her sacrifice - Were it not for Una, I am unsure how many of my squad would still be left standing, if any.
The idea IAFS command might try and tie this action, to her previous incident last year when her machine was stolen by a POW, feels like a sickening betrayal of her incredible bravery.
She fought through such intense pain and payed the ultimate price, in order to save her comrades and protect her home - I think the last thing she would want is others to be punished on her behalf - After talking with them, all other relevant heads of staff and the remaining pilots of the flotilla are in agreement with me on this.
As such I politely request any investigation be dropped and Una's legacy maintained for what it is.
Kind regards as always,
Kolme Nilas.
