...I promise you, before youse all attack me (and rightfully so, I guess), that it was certainly not lack of interest that stopped me from posting: rather lack of time and then lack of internet connection for nearly a month. I do apologise

You have all managed quite wonderfully however - the battle posts are excellent. I shall get up a post as soon as I can as soon as this post is replied to just checking: a continuation of events and battle, and then beginning to turn the ships to get the heckers out of there? Just so I don't get things horribly wrong...
Part 2 sounds good, I would be very interested - just give a few months while I lie low and attempt to get my AS Levels out of the way...
- Captain Rakin, back at your service
