Catrina nodded curtly to the other female, "It's alright, people change on the battlefield. I just cannot show weakness" She said bluntly, being an ace meant she had to be a icon for the troops, she had to be the role model, the perfect soldier. Give the other's something to aspire to and hopefully give them hope that they may return to their families alive after it is all over. Stepping inside the office in step, showing the Acar that she will not back down, and will not make excuses. Listening to his coarse words before she was allowed to respond.<br/><br/>"Sir we arrived at our designated location and set up a ambush for the federation forces, our first ambush was successful and without casulties..." She trailed off a little bit as the thoughts of the battle, and her companions dieing filled her mind. "We prepared for the following unit that was sent to investigate what happened to the first party. They was caught unaware, however sir." She took a deep breath<br/><br/>"But the element of supprise was not sufficient, and we was forced into a feirce firefight against a well trained squad with superior armaments, it did not take long for my squad to fall under the vicious hail of fire from these unknown suits, the only way I could describe them sir, is the same suits we encountered during the Trojan horse engagement, powerful well built white and blue suits with golden horns, our ranged weaponry was insufficiant to break through their armour. I gave the order to engage in close quaters where our close combat weaponry may have suited better. For several miniutes I was engaged with their leading officer as my remain of my squad engaged them in melee." She spoke in a very matter of fact tone, not straying from the truth of the matter. "After reinforcements arrived the enemy force chose to retreat further towards the enemy border, with the looming threat of reinforcements from the opposing side, and from my experience in the lack of effectiveness of our weaponry against these unknown models I felt it that the most prudent option was to allow in their escape, we would not have succeeded in being able to overcome our enemy, and would have lost further mobile suits and soldiers in a futile effort." She now chose to pause, and allow the Acar to have a say of the situation she was prepared for the full wrath of her superior officer, the dog tags of her squad still hung around her neck in tribute.
