Goliath Goes Down

(Note: The following is a transcript of a message received this evening at Fraters World Headquarters)

Romeo 23: Fraters HQ this is Romeo 23

Fraters HQ: Go head Romeo 23.

Romeo 23: Operation David commenced at 23:23 GMT with the deployment of the sling. The rock was launched at 23:26 GMT. At 23:28 GMT the Hewitt communications bird was knocked out of action for a period of twenty minutes. Repeat twenty minutes.

Fraters HQ: Roger that Romeo 23. Twenty minutes. BDA report?

Romeo 23: All friendlies are accounted for. No casualties. Impact of loss of comm links on Hewitt command & control appears to have been substantial. Confusion evident. Previous Hewitt operations stopped dead in their tracks and now abandoned. Spoiling attack was a complete success.

Fraters HQ: Well done Romeo 23. Submit detailed assessment upon your return.

Romeo 23: Roger that Fraters HQ.
