Markov stands up. "Sir, I stood down when I was told. I received the orders and immediately retreated. I find this result highly out of order, and I appeal the decision. My defense is that I retreated immediately as soon as I received the orders, which were late in being received because of a glitch in our comms systems. ((I watched Doctor Who for a while and forgot to check)) The fleet then immediately retreated, and began support operations for the Gauntlet and other members of the ECD fleet. When I was ordered back to Panama, I warped back. In the conflict, I lost no ships or crewmembers. Thank you for your time." Markov sits back down, drumming his fingers on the tabletop.
