[Durandal]

The transcript below is of a meeting between the Auxesia vessel Cincinnati and a Primary Fleet taskforce consisting of the LNS Maryland and LNS Ignition which took place outside of Ames Research Station at approximately 2330 hours, Guadalajara time. I want all Legionnaires to read it thoroughly and understand the implications of the following events. Transcript is as follows -

[06.05.2016 04:44:59] [HF]-HFBC-Last.Sunrise: Locklear: Something about the Core blockading the station and claiming it as their own. I ran into a Zoner earlier who -

[06.05.2016 04:46:13] [HF]-HFBC-Last.Sunrise: Locklear: The last time we encountered the Maryland it was kitted out for area denial. Can you get a scan for me?

[06.05.2016 04:47:23] [HF]-HFBC-Last.Sunrise: Locklear: The Sunrise is equipped for a mix of long range tactical engagement and close in brawling.
[06.05.2016 04:47:39] 2016-05-06 04:47:35 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:47:39] [HF]-HFBC-Last.Sunrise: Locklear: Strange, you sure they can't see me?
[06.05.2016 04:47:42] 2016-05-06 04:47:38 SMT

[06.05.2016 04:47:58] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: You invited us here to talk, I'd say that's calling.
[06.05.2016 04:48:14] 2016-05-06 04:48:11 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:48:14] A/)-ACV-Cincinnati: Ganes: Might as well come join the show. Hopefully they'll respect Zoner law.
[06.05.2016 04:48:33] 2016-05-06 04:48:29 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:48:33] A/)-ACV-Cincinnati: Ganes: Yeah, well, you know what I meant.
[06.05.2016 04:48:37] 2016-05-06 04:48:33 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:48:37] [HF]-HFBC-Last.Sunrise: Locklear: I prefer the dark matter cloud, at least for now.
[06.05.2016 04:49:31] 2016-05-06 04:49:27 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:49:31] A/)-ACV-Cincinnati: Ganes: Anyways, they hit the station hard for a pack of cigarettes.
[06.05.2016 04:49:39] 2016-05-06 04:49:35 SMT

[06.05.2016 04:50:12] [HF]-HFBC-Last.Sunrise: Locklear: I've met Nodtviet. He's a dangerous man, but a little beyond our power projection capabilities at present.
[06.05.2016 04:50:32] 2016-05-06 04:50:28 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:50:32] A/)-ACV-Cincinnati: Ganes: People from all over came running. Coalition, Order, The Reapers, the Colonials, the Miners Guild, us.

[06.05.2016 04:51:03] A/)-ACV-Cincinnati: Ganes: Humanitarian aid from most of those. Core forces have been shooting every relief effort convoy.
[06.05.2016 04:51:17] [LN]-LNS-Maryland: CIC: Cincinnati, you had best have a very good reason why our gunnery crews aren't currently working target practice on-
[06.05.2016 04:51:20] 2016-05-06 04:51:17 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:51:20] [LN]-LNS-Maryland: CIC: your drive core.

[06.05.2016 04:51:57] A/)-ACV-Cincinnati: Ganes: You'll want to hear it, I'm sure. We were supposed to be accompanied by at least a Venator, but its just us.
[06.05.2016 04:52:02] 2016-05-06 04:51:59 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:52:02] A/)-ACV-Cincinnati: Ganes: I'll do my best to lay things out.
[06.05.2016 04:52:12] 2016-05-06 04:52:08 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:52:12] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Hunter: Ignition on station.

[06.05.2016 04:52:39] 2016-05-06 04:52:36 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:52:39] A/)-ACV-Cincinnati: Ganes: So basically, uh, a few days ago, the Core decided to attack a Freeport in Delta over a pack of smokes.
[06.05.2016 04:52:51] 2016-05-06 04:52:47 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:52:51] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: We're aware of this.

[06.05.2016 04:54:03] 2016-05-06 04:54:00 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:54:03] A/)-ACV-Cincinnati: Ganes: They've been hitting hard though, and it seems as of a few hours ago, Rheinland tossed their hats in with the Core.
[06.05.2016 04:54:17] 2016-05-06 04:54:13 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:54:17] A/)-ACV-Cincinnati: Ganes: And the Curator wanted me to make sure that you folk weren't planning on doing the same.
[06.05.2016 04:54:17] 2016-05-06 04:54:14 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:54:17] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Hunter: Are you sure, Cinncinati?
[06.05.2016 04:54:30] 2016-05-06 04:54:26 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:54:30] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: He's telling you the truth.

[06.05.2016 04:55:02] 2016-05-06 04:54:59 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:55:02] A/)-ACV-Cincinnati: Ganes: Yaren base, by the looks of it. Some coming through Rho from Luneburg, direct path to Rheinland.
[06.05.2016 04:55:17] 2016-05-06 04:55:13 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:55:17] [LN]-LNS-Maryland: CIC: Alright, well, first of all, there's very little to nothing that would cause Liberty to take any side.
[06.05.2016 04:55:20] 2016-05-06 04:55:16 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:55:20] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Hunter: ...there's a direct path to the Omicrons through Rheinland?
[06.05.2016 04:55:26] 2016-05-06 04:55:22 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:55:26] [LN]-LNS-Maryland: CIC: We have more important things to worry about.

[06.05.2016 04:55:37] A/)-ACV-Cincinnati: Ganes: That's good. All I needed to hear.
[06.05.2016 04:56:00] 2016-05-06 04:55:56 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:56:00] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Hunter: Sir, the Rheinland Military is now engaging in a terrorist act on a civilian installation.
[06.05.2016 04:56:12] 2016-05-06 04:56:08 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:56:12] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Hunter: If...IF...this man can be trusted.
[06.05.2016 04:56:22] Don't use F1 or disconnect when interacting with other players.
[06.05.2016 04:56:30] 2016-05-06 04:56:26 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:56:30] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: ALG, took a hostile stance to the Core.
[06.05.2016 04:56:35] 2016-05-06 04:56:32 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:56:35] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: I don't know how far this is true though.
[06.05.2016 04:56:36] 2016-05-06 04:56:32 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:56:36] [LN]-LNS-Maryland: CIC: And do we have proof of this? I know I sure don't, and I'm not about to start trusting hearsay from rogue Captains.
[06.05.2016 04:56:53] 2016-05-06 04:56:49 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:56:53] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Hunter: We need visual proof of Rheinland engaging civilians.
[06.05.2016 04:56:55] 2016-05-06 04:56:51 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:56:55] A/)-ACV-Cincinnati: Ganes: We've been involved in daily skirmishes since then. Took a nasty hit from a few Threshers that cracked the manifold open.
[06.05.2016 04:57:15] 2016-05-06 04:57:11 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:57:15] A/)-ACV-Cincinnati: Ganes: I'll see what the others can procure, but it's been getting rough out there.

[06.05.2016 04:57:23] 2016-05-06 04:57:19 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:57:23] [LN]-LNS-Maryland: CIC: More than that, we'd need proper identification signatures. Both sides.
[06.05.2016 04:57:47] 2016-05-06 04:57:43 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:57:47] [LN]-LNS-Maryland: CIC: Not to mention I'd like having that information taken by something flashing our own transponder, but...
[06.05.2016 04:59:35] 2016-05-06 04:59:32 SMT
[06.05.2016 04:59:35] [LN]-LNS-Maryland: CIC: So, you came all the way to Liberty to make sure we weren't about to start blowing up civilian transports?

[06.05.2016 05:00:07] A/)-ACV-Cincinnati: Ganes: Pretty much, yeah. Pretty sure the Phalanx folks wanted to talk more, but they're all occupied with the whole situation.
[06.05.2016 05:00:08] 2016-05-06 05:00:04 SMT
[06.05.2016 05:00:08] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: *Clears his throat* Sorry. That was good though.
[06.05.2016 05:00:21] 2016-05-06 05:00:17 SMT
[06.05.2016 05:00:21] A/)-ACV-Cincinnati: Ganes: It was, Gauls are garbage, no doubt about it.

[06.05.2016 05:00:55] [LN]-LNS-Ignition: Hunter: Either the "Phalanx" Thinks we don't deserve their presence, or it is as bad as you claim.
[06.05.2016 05:01:10] 2016-05-06 05:01:06 SMT
[06.05.2016 05:01:10] A/)-ACV-Cincinnati: Ganes: Well, the Curator was pulled from duty for overworking himself.

[06.05.2016 05:17:15] A/)-ACV-Cincinnati: Ganes: Good talk.

While we trust Auxesia's intel implicitly and it is doubtless that dark times have befallen the Omicrons, it is not within the scope of our motives or our resources to assist the people of the outer rim in any meaningful way. As long as Libertonian transports are operating within a warzone, then Liberty is there and we are obliged to protect them. High command will be sending communiques out to all civilian organizations which are operating in contested space and see about setting up an escort wing of Prosecutors, but beyond that there is little we can do.

The citizens of Delta, however, are not our people. It isn't an easy pill to swallow, but it is not our place to get involved. More to the point, it is not the Republic's. If the Republic chooses to engage in this conflict then not only do they once again involve themselves in affairs in which they have no business, but risk jeopardizing the Gallic war front all together. Given the Republic's track record of combined foreign affairs and military blunders, this is not something I would put past them. The Legion must remain vigilant, as this is a delicate situation and anything could happen.

For now I'd like you all to keep the scuttlebutt to a minimum. The last thing we need is to become so engrossed in the happenings of the Omicrons that we lose sight of what's truly at stake. I believe that Avery Reeves pilot was a prime example of how not to conduct oneself professionally. I expect better from all of you.

You'll be briefed when we have a more clear plan on how to proceed with this situation. Until then, stay calm, stay cool, and remain focused. Don't forget who and what you're fighting for out there; Liberty.

Lord Commander Samuel Locklear, Hellfire Legion
