Hale here.
I'll keep this extremely simple. Liberty is at war with the Order. We've been at war with the Order for over eighteen years. Neither side has been activity persuing the war of late for fairly obvious reasons, however I'll remind you of the fact hostilities never ceased.
As such, I'm going to very strongly suggest you keep yourself on your side of the fence. That being Omicron Minor. Any attempt to come into Alaska is an invasion. A hostile act. It will be responded to as such.
Be aware that the Liberty Navy could crush your operation entirely. This was demonstrated today by the firepower which we streamed in through the Omicron minor jumphole. We're extremely tired of chasing your ships through that jumphole.
I'll just take the time to explain the consequences of your actions.
Any Order capital vessel comes into Alaska, and we will respond with a full battlefleet in Minor.
Any TCG vessel comes into Alaska and we will respond with a full battlefleet in Minor.
Any Order vessel enters New York, and we will respond with a full battlefleet in Minor.
Any Order fighters found in Alaska will be destroyed.
Any Navy vessel gets destroyed by the Order and we will respond with a full battlefleet in Minor.
If you so much as breathe in Alaska we will know about it. I hope I made myself clear. The Liberty Navy Primary fleet and Secondary Fleet is under orders only to move into Minor under very specific circumstances. However your organisation seems to believe it can go wandering around in the soveriegn space of hostile nation without any thought of retirbution. Consider this a wake up call.

I approve of what Admiral Hale says. Only yesterday myself and 2 of my agents had to destroy a Geb Light Carrier in New York. The loss of countless lives due to an over confident and arrogant Order captain. The Liberty Security Force will also act with deadly force to Order ships found in Alaska, New York and any other Liberty system. That is all I have to say on this matter.

Buenos Dias Hale. The Order acknowledges these new terms and conditions you propose,
and we'll attempt to conserve our assets in the future.
But, any Liberty Navy Capital class ships entering Minor without prior provocation shall not be
heard from again.Fight your own damned war, and let us fight ours. As you said today, "Stay off
our lawn." Applies to both sides.
"Admiral Hale, your concerns are understandable, but I find this transmission somewhat hypocritical on your part. You know as well as anyone that your secondary fleet captains are no more under your control than ours are, and it is foolhardy to request that we do something when you will not act first."
"Our two organizations have worked together in Alaska on numerous occasions to deal with Nomad threats, we know full well that the bulk of your fleet is occupied with the Rheinland war and in most cases your stations in Alaska and even New York are unable to defend themselves against these alien assaults."
"With such occupations, it seems curious to me that these secondary fleet members you claim to have such strict control over continually show up on "our side of the fence" as it were - we see Liberty Battleships, Carriers, and Cruisers in Omicron Minor and Omicron Delta on a daily basis, which seems to refute your claim that they have orders to not fly in those areas."
"The agreement that was established between our organizations years ago will still stand. Alaska is not solely yours, and we will refrain from interfering with your operations and stations there so long as you agree to keep your ships out of our space. The TCG will be dealt with for instigating this situation, I assure you, but I will not sit by while your ships which you claim have orders to stay out of Minor continually break into our space and fire upon our vessels."
"You make threats with battlefleets, I assure you that you do not want to know what will happen if you follow through with those threats. Keep your men in line, and we will do the same. Fail to do so, and both of us will have a problem neither wants."

There is no such agreement. There never has been. It does not exist. Find me documentation of it if you wish to attempt to prove me wrong. You'll not find a shred signed by any liberty official. Alaska, in it's entirity, is Liberty soveriegn space.
Furthermore, I will just point out the fact the Order is in no position to claim territory or make demands on our behaviour. I will point our the poor training of your men, the inexpert piloting of your snubcraft, the lack of numbers and funding, not to mention the fact you're sorely losing a war against the Guild Core at the moment.
In short, be quiet Miss Staite. I suggest you allow officers of importance to speak.

Captain Barnes. You acting to rushly. I'm suggesting you to calm down and consider your politics. From my source I know that you were warned many times. You don't have any real power to taking any actions which is against orders from High Command! Especially the ones which can provocade a full contact war with Liberty Nation!
You are wise man, even if sometimes your actions denied that. So once again I appeal to you. Consider your actions, or I'm sure that High Command will force you to face the consequences.

Since I'm involved in this...
Shouldn't you concentrate on your war against Rheinland?
You come into our system, try to sell us our pilots - I'm not going to comment on that - and then wonder when we move to Alaska to pursue your ships?
We tried to avoid incidents with the LN, no matter where you were. We didn't attack you without reasons since the fightings between us don't accomplish anything for either side, but when your ships carry our pilots, refuse to set them free by giving them to us, invade our home and even try to sell (!) our pilots, just like pirates...
...we had to do something. There were many times before when we escorted your ships out of Minor and I even can remember one time when we saved one of your cruisers from certain death - or better said, things WORSE than death.
The attack on the Illinois might have been a bit quick, though I think after you showed how you do things, I think it's not going to be different next time. Be reminded, we won't have as much patience as before next time when one of Libertys vessels is spotted in our system.
Your "full battlefleet" might come into our homesystem, but will it return?
I think your fleet should be used somewhere else. And don't come with the "Oh, we have enough ships to fight on more than one front..." - I don't care. I know about the battles against Rheinland.
By threatening us you're threatening yourself, is this really wise?
You point to our war with the Bounty Hunters - I point to your war with Rheinland.
Don't underestimate the Order, but we both can't really afford to fight on another front, can we?
Better question is, do we really want that?
Do what you think is necessary, but don't expect us to sit aside and watch without reacting.
I might remind you, that I'm not speaking for the TCG and that my opinion might only be my own.
What I said is only my opinion, not necessary what the whole Order thinks.
So, what am I saying?
I think we both should concentrate on our other wars.
But, if you don't want that - we will see what is going to happen, don't we?
We will defend ourself.
And the last thing I want to tell you - the Alaska-Minor jumphole area is part of our patrols. And it will stay this way.
"I would have expected more intelligence from the Fleet Admiral of the Liberty Navy, Hale. The Order is not the aggressor here, we have avoided your ships and kept to ourselves to the best of our ability, yet your pilots, as has been stated numerous times in this transmission, continually break into Omicron Minor, assault our ships in Omicron Delta, capture our pilots and attempt to profit by selling them back to us, and after all of that make insane propositions as you are doing now. We will have no more of it."
"Barnes, your ships are no longer permitted in Alaska, you're already on the verge of court martial for your actions thus far which have threatened what few stable alliances we have left. I suggest you do not test our patience in this. From this point onward, no Order warships are permitted in the Alaska system without authorization from Order High Command, fighter and bomber patrols may remain and carry out our current operations in the system."
