That's terrible news, Varyag...I feel for your crew. If you need any help in conducting their funerals, let me know. You have fought alongside my own men and women many times, and we owe you at least this much.

We always knew that the Rheinland Military was composed of brainwashed fascists...but I had no idea they were such honorless dogs, as well. No - that would be insulting to dogs. Regardless, new policy regarding RM: engage at will, but do not let them destroy your ship. Pay no heed to their impotent words when they see only your exhaust plume. We cannot engage them in open, conventional combat. They know this, and seek to draw us into fights we cannot win...don't let them. Time and again, the RM and their associated lackeys have made fools of us by taking advantage of our mercy.
In return, we will show them no mercy. Do not kill their pilots in space - no, they don't deserve it. Instead, ransom them at Svendborg Base, deep in the asteroid field of Omega-54. I've begun a rehabilitation program, in an attempt to turn these robots, these tools of the Kanzler, back into thinking, feeling human beings. It is a long and difficult process, but already some former RM pilots have joined us. The Stiletto you see on your wing might be flown by someone you fought a few months ago. And those who cannot be rehabilitated...can mine the rocks for minerals to support our war effort.
