Good evening, DIS.

I was responding to a priority alert about multiple gallic vessels near southampton shipyard and heavy firepower was requested, as such i boarded the H.M.S-Stillwater the bretonian carrier and set off at once.
It was there outside the planet that i came across an odd sight, it was what appeared to be a hellfire legion battleship commanded by auxesia. Strange as it may be, i had little time to ask questions as gallic forces were amassing in southampton.
the warship's captain claimed to have come through southampton shipyard where a bulk of gallic forces were situated, and wanted to aid us in defense against them.
I calmly asked the warship to depart bretonia as auxesia were still banned due to their prior behavior, after much hesitation the auxesian ship agreed to leave. I had suggested they leave bretonia through manchester with escort but they refused and insisted they go to leeds. we could not escort them to leeds as that path was blockaded by gallic forces, so i could not follow them there. i do not know what possessed them to head through southampton but it appears they did and were taken down by said gallic forces waiting there.
This disruption of defensive procedures by auxesia is troubling, that is all.

[15.08.2019 17:34:23] A/)-ACV-Achlys: L: Of course. We're not welcome here, but I still insist on shooting at you.

[15.08.2019 17:34:47] A/)-ACV-Achlys: L: You'd think they'd be a bit more grateful, huh?
[15.08.2019 17:34:50] Ace: i could try
[15.08.2019 17:34:51] MRG|Guy.Josselyne: They do not appreciate help in times they might need it.
[15.08.2019 17:35:04] Pax.Picard: Come here Dallas.
[15.08.2019 17:35:10] Pax.Picard: Let's do a mano a mano.

[15.08.2019 17:36:22] Pax.Picard: Soiling your pants is ok.
[15.08.2019 17:36:27] 5th|LNS-Yorktown: Miles: Maltese vessel on scanner.
[15.08.2019 17:36:29] Pax.Picard: For a liberty soldier.
[15.08.2019 17:36:42] A/)-ACV-Achlys: L: Came from Southampton.

[15.08.2019 17:38:07] [LN]-Marcus;Robinson: Just chase them, jesus.
[15.08.2019 17:39:04] MRG|Guy.Josselyne: So.
[15.08.2019 17:39:12] Sgt.Dallas: how many times we stand?
[15.08.2019 17:39:15] MRG|Guy.Josselyne: Are we starting now?
[15.08.2019 17:39:22] A/)-ACV-Achlys: L: That's what I'm wondering.
[15.08.2019 17:39:25] 5th|LNS-Yorktown: Miles: Ask your fleet. They'
[15.08.2019 17:39:32] 5th|LNS-Yorktown: Miles: They're late to their own offensive.
[15.08.2019 17:39:44] Pax.Picard: Look at all of you. Sitting scared behind stations.
[15.08.2019 17:39:47] Pax.Picard: *laughs*
[15.08.2019 17:39:49] 5th|LNS-Yorktown: Miles: And they call you a professional military.
[15.08.2019 17:39:54] [LN]-Marcus;Robinson: It seems, REALLY late, Yorktown command.
[15.08.2019 17:40:14] Pax.Picard: Maybe you share the donuts with the bret dogs a?
[15.08.2019 17:40:17] A/)-ACV-Achlys: L: They're not wrong. We could be taking the offensive to them before they regroup.
[15.08.2019 17:40:26] MRG|Guy.Josselyne: You could.
[15.08.2019 17:40:43] 5th|LNS-Yorktown: Miles: Patience and a hardy defensive line has squashed the Gallic invaders time and time again.
[15.08.2019 17:40:53] MRG|Guy.Josselyne: Like in Magellan?
[15.08.2019 17:40:56] MRG|Guy.Josselyne: And Califronia?
[15.08.2019 17:41:06] 5th|LNS-Yorktown: Miles: Like in the Taus, and Cortez.
[15.08.2019 17:41:10] MRG|Guy.Josselyne: Very patient.
[15.08.2019 17:41:34] MRG|Guy.Josselyne: Attacking vagualy defended positions.
[15.08.2019 17:41:41] MRG|Guy.Josselyne: And then feeling the rush of honor.
[15.08.2019 17:41:43] 5th|LNS-Yorktown: Miles: Your attack is desperate, and your fuel won't last. You will die, starving or guns blazing, it matters not.
[15.08.2019 17:41:45] MRG|Guy.Josselyne: A classic libertorian.
[15.08.2019 17:42:07] A/)-ACV-Achlys: L: Sometimes the best defensive move is a strong offensive push and swift retreat.
[15.08.2019 17:42:28] A/)-ACV-Achlys: L: The longer we wait here, the less them running out of fuel runs true. They've still got functioning logistics somehow.
[15.08.2019 17:42:31] HMS-Glasgow_Kiss: I heard a group of Privateers captured a large shipment of white flags in Leeds recently.
[15.08.2019 17:42:34] 5th|LNS-Yorktown: Miles: If they had anywhere to retreat to. Their surrounded in Bretonian space.
[15.08.2019 17:42:47] MRG|Guy.Josselyne: Must've been your white flags.
[15.08.2019 17:42:49] [LN]-Natalie.Reaser: The decision of that is up to Stillwater actual.
[15.08.2019 17:42:52] MRG|Guy.Josselyne: Laying around on Leeds.
[15.08.2019 17:43:00] A/)-ACV-Achlys: L: So why wait? If they've got nowhere to run, we can press them now and end this conflict.
[15.08.2019 17:43:11] MRG|Guy.Josselyne: Yes.
[15.08.2019 17:43:16] MRG|Guy.Josselyne: Nowhere to run.
[15.08.2019 17:43:35] GG-W-Carnwennan: you need to be more assertive kek
[15.08.2019 17:43:40] 5th|LNS-Yorktown: Miles: Each day their fuel dries up and they lose precious time to commit their own offensive. Why waste mens lives when the-
[15.08.2019 17:44:01] 5th|LNS-Yorktown: Enemy can throw themselves into the grinder while we sit, exterminate their meager invasion then strike when they have nothing-
[15.08.2019 17:44:04] BAF|HMS-Stillwater: Beck: Auxesian battleship, i've been informed that your presence is not needed. please leave bretonia at once
[15.08.2019 17:44:07] 5th|LNS-Yorktown: Left to resist.
[15.08.2019 17:44:22] A/)-ACV-Achlys: L: If I leave now, I'm going to be surrounded by the enemy. I'll wait until the conflict is over.
[15.08.2019 17:44:26] MRG|Guy.Josselyne: So, Reaser.
[15.08.2019 17:44:31] 5th|LNS-Yorktown: While our forces recieve plentiful reinforcements and supplies.
[15.08.2019 17:44:32] MRG|Guy.Josselyne: Do you want to continue where we ended?
[15.08.2019 17:44:46] [LN]-Natalie.Reaser: As far as I'm aware we were at a draw.
[15.08.2019 17:44:58] MRG|Guy.Josselyne: We'll see how it'll end this time.
[15.08.2019 17:45:00] MRG|Guy.Josselyne: Vive Le Roi!
[15.08.2019 17:45:03] BAF|HMS-Stillwater: Beck: we shall escort you out if needed, the ban is in effect
[15.08.2019 17:45:08] [LN]-Natalie.Reaser: For Liberty!
[15.08.2019 17:45:15] A/)-ACV-Achlys: L: Then you can escort me back to Leeds.
[15.08.2019 17:45:15] [LN]-Natalie.Reaser: And the queen!
[15.08.2019 17:45:24] A/)-ACV-Achlys: L: Right down the enemy's gullet.
[15.08.2019 17:45:46] BAF|HMS-Stillwater: Beck: why leeds?
[15.08.2019 17:46:02] A/)-ACV-Achlys: L: Your civilians need to be safeguarded off of the planet during their evacuation.
[15.08.2019 17:47:29] [LN]-Marcus;Robinson: Yeah.
[15.08.2019 17:47:32] A/)-ACV-Achlys: L: Now, are you going to fulfill your promise of an escort or am I charging through the enemy alone?
[15.08.2019 17:48:10] BAF|HMS-Stillwater: Beck: you can leave through manchester, leeds is not your destination
[15.08.2019 17:48:30] A/)-ACV-Achlys: L: Leeds is my destination. I've made that clear. You can either accompany me to help your people or shoot me.
[15.08.2019 17:48:42] A/)-ACV-Achlys: L: I'll leave that decision to you. See you there.
[15.08.2019 17:48:56] BAF|HMS-Stillwater: Beck: we do not need auxesian help is what i've been told
[15.08.2019 17:49:07] A/)-ACV-Achlys: L: Tell that to the destroyers surrounding the planet.
[15.08.2019 17:49:36] BAF|HMS-Stillwater: Beck: they will be dealt with in time
[15.08.2019 17:56:59] Death: A/)-ACV-Achlys was put out of action by MRG|Croisade (Gun).
