I'm afraid you two will be standing trial on various charges, primarily 'Grave Incompetence'.

Totenkopt, I don't know what the hell has gotten into you. You may have to report to medical. How the hell didn't you notice that Ivan has a different eye colour?! You used to hunt down the Wilde hiding in Rheinland, dammit! I've watched you kill infested people in the Omicrons because they 'felt funny', and that's when you were green, fresh out of the Chancellor's forces!

Varnava... even worse here.

You are supposedly the Revolution's most able bomber pilot. Why the hell wasn't your bomber, registered as X-Ray #336 (which is not registered as having been in the repair bay), able to fire a supernova into the gunboat (piloted by an untrained gunboat commander) before its shields could come up in the docking bay? And don't you dare try tell us that you were worried for the station's safety, seeing as you, being the best aim in the Coalition, could have hit the engines, or at least fired cruise disruptors.

Also, allowing a non-Intel operative to gain access to the Krivak was damned ridiculous. Add that to the charges.

In fact, Nikolai, this is making me worry about your loyalty. Do you know what happened to ultra-talented people that may have been disloyal in the ancient USSR? You may want to look up 'Leon Trotsky' in Cape Verde's library and then keep away from anyone that likes to climb frozen waterfalls.

I expect a very good defense from both of you, and I expect it yesterday. If you cannot prepare a good defense, the traitor's body will suffice.

-Richthofen out!
