28th of March, 2015:

With spirits still high, things seemed to be going astonishingly well for us... too well. We'd managed to expand the base, production was well underway on multiple new satellites that would calm some of the most fearful nations, and our R&D efforts were beginning to bear fruit. Despite a few exasperating conversations with my staff, who seem to be in a constant state of surprise whenever I show even the slightest hint that I know what I'm doing, the situation seemed to be turning in our favour.

I should have realised what that meant.

Operation Dark Daze hit us like a lorry. A lorry packed full of angry aliens. Although everyone got out alive, I could see that some of them were a little shaken up, tempers flared in the mission and it was obvious that not all of the anger and violence had been left behind when Skyranger picked the squad up.

Now, with most of them spending time in medbay, we're left to wonder what will happen if another urgent call comes through for our aid... I can't help but feel this could have been avoided somehow. And on top of that, Dr Shen has told me that we might not have the Satellite Uplink finished in time before the council of nations convenes to review our performance.

Still, I have a few medals here, it's a small token, but I'm hoping it'll help sooth tempers and lift the squad out of the gloomy mood it's in. These men and women are Earth's best, and with each passing day they might be called on to make the ultimate sacrifice in the name of our survival as a species... I can't do much for them, but at least it should be me dealing with all these worries, not them.

I don't even know if we have anywhere set up for the awards ceremony. Ah well, we'll work something out...
