Buenos dias, legionarios,
With the Order's ongoing "crusade" on Malta and it's people, the alien emissaries are no doubt trying to convert as many as possible to their side. Unless any of you wants to enjoy another era of Crimson Cross and Malta being used as a tool by the aliens, something must be done about this. But neither can we let the Order harm our home. As such we are left with more than one enemy on our doorstep, one more subtle and cunning, while the other possessing more outright firepower. I doubt any of you are here for a long and dramatic speech so I'll cut things short. We have two objectives to look into:
First and foremost we must ensure these alien emissaries in the face of the Oracles and Commune do not feel welcome in Maltese space. Every chance they're given is a risk of having more of our brothers and sisters tricked to serve the aliens. They've both betrayed our nation in the past and we shouldn't give them an opportunity to do so again. Remember that their main weapon is their tongue and trickery.
Secondly the campaign against the Order must continue. We must continue to hold the line and protect Alpha and Beta from their advance and while it's unlikely we could take over their foothold in Epsilon, there are other ways to make them reconsider this war - any transport ship passing through or to Epsilon or Mu is fair game to be burned down. Make it clear why you're disintegrating their ships. The sooner their attacks on Maltese space cease, the better.
Without the looming threat of the Order, there would be far less the alien fanatics could offer to lure our brethren. Without the alien fanatics, there would be less of a reason the Order would attack us as fanatically. Which problem we solve first matters not. I'll leave it to your discretion to decide which is more pressing at a given moment. And remember our oath - anything we do is with the mind of doing what is best for Malta and it's people.
