Comm ID: Oscar "Ray" Secada, Azul Squadron WARNING: MARKED AS URGENT
Encryption: 'Armageddon'
Buenos Dias, Hermanos. I'm afraid I cannot be too long in this message. Time is of the essence.
During a recent, relatively uneventful patrol of the Omicron-Omega territories, we were contacted by a Coalition Vessel. The commander of this vessel informed us of a large-scale offensive on the Omegas, orchestrated by the Elders and their Brotherhood. This offensive has already resulted in the loss of the Kessel, a Hessian capital vessel, to nuclear weaponry. Currently, Omega-47 and Omega-5 are in a state of total war, all of this previously unknown to us. The Coalition, along with the other Omega factions, are presently requesting our assistance.
The following is a transcript of our conversation.
[02.04.2019 19:06:14] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:Buenas dias hermano
[02.04.2019 19:07:01] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:How are the Omegas at the moment?
[02.04.2019 19:07:15] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: A lot more chaotic than they should be.
[02.04.2019 19:07:24] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:After the Omega-3 events I can expect anything...
[02.04.2019 19:07:29] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:How so?
[02.04.2019 19:08:17] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: Crete at its 'finest', of course.
[02.04.2019 19:08:22] ApS|Azul-08: ?: We haven't seen much in the way of traffic, unfortunately.
[02.04.2019 19:08:28] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:What do you mean?
[02.04.2019 19:09:09] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: Fourty-Seven and Five are quickly degenerating into battlegrounds.
[02.04.2019 19:09:26] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:That's new to us
[02.04.2019 19:09:36] ApS|Azul-08: ?: Battlegrounds? Hermano, what have I been missing?
[02.04.2019 19:09:39] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:Is there any way we can support?
[02.04.2019 19:10:29] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: It's an absolute mess, bad things chaining to others.
[02.04.2019 19:11:11] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:My question is still there;any way we can provide assistance?
[02.04.2019 19:11:18] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:It would be the least
[02.04.2019 19:11:51] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: We, or more accurately, the Hessians, are going to need more firepower.
[02.04.2019 19:12:08] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:Hmmm...
[02.04.2019 19:12:14] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:That can be provided
[02.04.2019 19:12:36] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: To give you an idea...
[02.04.2019 19:13:08] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: The pride of the Hessian fleet was nuked, this after their attempt to leverage the situation in Omega-3.
[02.04.2019 19:13:28] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:Hmm I see
[02.04.2019 19:13:50] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: Tangier is vulnerable, and the Corsairs are intending to exploit the lack of force.
[02.04.2019 19:14:15] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:Wow..didn't expect this
[02.04.2019 19:14:31] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:Nobody has notified us
[02.04.2019 19:14:39] Death: Piszkos.Fred was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[02.04.2019 19:14:54] ApS|Azul-08: ?: Capitan, this is obviously a grave situation... I understand I am under your command, but I'd advise mobilizing our-
[02.04.2019 19:15:03] ApS|Azul-08: -forces to assist in this conflict.
[02.04.2019 19:15:08] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: I'd imagine that's due to the Hessians not entirely giving the Apostatas as much trust as the Coalition does.
[02.04.2019 19:15:32] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:We should try and earn that trust comarade
[02.04.2019 19:16:08] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: I certainly would not object.
[02.04.2019 19:16:26] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:The Apostatas will deploy ships to assist you in Omega-47 against the Corsairs
[02.04.2019 19:17:13] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:Tangier won't fall in the Elder's hands!
[02.04.2019 19:17:56] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: The Hessians would be seriously crippled if it did.
[02.04.2019 19:18:25] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:Thank you for notifiying us of this matter, the High Command will bring discuss this topic and see what can be done
[02.04.2019 19:19:17] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:Would be appreciated to send us a communication on the Neutral Net where you state where exactly we can help
[02.04.2019 19:20:26] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: I will see to your involvement the next chance I can get to Heinrich.
[02.04.2019 19:20:54] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: That said, I hope things are a lot more quiet in Theta than they are closer to Moscow.
[02.04.2019 19:21:11] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:Things have been too quiet lately
[02.04.2019 19:21:33] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:Only a few ships here and there, not something our defences couldn't take care of
[02.04.2019 19:21:38] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: We're exporting a lot of noise right now, if you'd care to pick up some.
[02.04.2019 19:22:18] ApS|Azul-08: ?: If we were able to stretch the Brotherhood thin on both fronts...
[02.04.2019 19:22:29] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:It takes time comarade
[02.04.2019 19:22:36] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:But we'll break them.
[02.04.2019 19:22:38] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: Mmm.
[02.04.2019 19:23:03] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: The so-called 'elders' and their brotherhood have a surprising level of reserves, as you know.
[02.04.2019 19:23:15] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:As for now, we'll await for you to give us specific instructions on where you need us
[02.04.2019 19:23:31] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: With that whole overpopulation scheme there's always mad men willing to leap into cockpits and die for a crooked empire.
[02.04.2019 19:23:35] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:We do know, in the end we were Corsairs *laughs*
[02.04.2019 19:23:53] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:Corrupt regime
[02.04.2019 19:24:15] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: As for the conflict, it is mainly going to center around Tangier itself in 47, and along the Kassel's retreat path in 5 --
[02.04.2019 19:24:17] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: -- to Moscow.
[02.04.2019 19:25:05] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:We could be able to provide some defences to Tangier
[02.04.2019 19:25:43] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:Of course we do not have a massive fleet
[02.04.2019 19:25:58] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: Viernheim's garrison, and our carrier group, is up against the ravenous legions of battlegroup Fes.
[02.04.2019 19:26:20] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:Maybe we can surpise attack them...
[02.04.2019 19:27:00] ApS|CRV-Giralda: ?:Element of surprise is always a huge advantage
Unfortunately, our talks were then interrupted by the presence of a Corsair dreadnought on scanners, which we proceeded to interdict within Omicron Gamma. This so-called surgical strike turned out to be a highly erroneous move, as we were immediately intercepted by a large Brotherhood force. It appears that due to the ongoing war, the Brotherhood has doubled down on their military power, and they now respond to threats near-instantaneously. We did our best to fall back, but our lead cruiser, the Giralda, was lost with all hands. Me and the Coalition messenger escaped, and I am currently laying low at a neutral station.
Because of this, it appears a soft campaign against the Elders is no longer an option. They are now targeting our forces with as much ferocity as they do to the Coalition or the Hessians.
