Admiral Golinski.

Your Message alone, shows that you do not have any grasp on the situation that's unfolded in Delta. We are not in a position to look a gift horse in the mouth regardless of who that horse is.

Countless numbers of lives have been lost in this conflict, and as much as I would love to be in a position to say they died honourable deaths in victory, they didn't. The fact is the Core are a major power one that is beyond any other in Delta except maybe now the Nomads. Ill get onto them later.

We could carry on as we are, throwing what little we have left at the Core, sacrifice even more lives until someone wins, and here's a hint, it wont be the Zoners'.

Wounds are still open, there are those amongst us who DETEST the Core, who believe they are not to be trusted, however we all have to ask ourselves, what choice to do we have? We need to accept this peace for the greater good, to ensure no more life is lost needlessly, we are not soldiers we are not a military power, we cannot face the Core on their level. To accept this peace is to save countless many, to stop a pointless conflict. You accuse us of having short memorys, on the contrary Admiral, its the memories of the pain we have felt the sheer size of the void that's been created by those no longer with us that force us to negotiate peace.

I have no love for the Core nor their new Guildmistress, what I do have is a love for my people, they are tired, they are wounded and grieving, to try and continue the fight would be nothing but suicide and so we have to negotiate peace, and the Core seem to be willing to give it to us.

Where as you? The Order, the organisation that mean to protect us from the nomad threat? You threaten us for attempting to survive and save our brothers and sisters Would you have turned down peace had it been offered to you at Toledo?

You have to face facts Admiral, the Core are beyond you as much as they are us, they are the relevant power in Delta, the Order did not protect Us or Delta from the Core. Instead you claim they are led by an infected, you say this with Zero proof, but even if you had, what would you even be able to do about it? Nothing.

We gain nothing from refusing to negotiate with the Core whilst we are set to gain just from preventing more lost lives alone, this is more then what the Order has proven to be able to provide of late, you mention the Order-Corsair alliance and how it dealt with the Nomads back before the Core became a presence, well dont know if you have noticed but those days are long gone. Consider it a betrayal if you must but we are doing what we have to to ensure no more Zoners are killed fighting a loosing battle.

Now one more thing to point out just to underline how the Order is no longer relevant, a few days past a distress signal was received coming from delta, a mix of Zoner ships Core ships an AI ship and even a ship of the republic answered along with others, the signal whether it was a trap or a genuine signal led to a force of nomads not yet encountered by any human thus far, fighters with considerable firepower enough to impact a capital ship shield and moving with speeds beyond any Sirian built ship. But thats not all, the ships retreated after sustaining a few losses, but they were in fact goading us to follow, leading us right into the path of a massive never before Seen Nomad ship, larger then a Marduk wielding more unknown weapons of greater power not before seen. So great in fact it unleashed a weapon of such force as to take out several Capital ships in ONE BLOW.
The reason I bring this up? Only 2 Order ships arrived to assist, neither one were part of your Black fleet, or of any Main Order fleet. The reason we managed to push the ship back? The Core, they came in force once the threat was identified.

So another question to ask yourself Admiral. In the face of a Grave new Nomad threat, who can we depend upon to protect Delta? Right now, its not the Order.
