Warlord Guzman is reporting about the result of operation Chatarreria.

Their failure was predictable – this hive is no more. Of course, Artificial Intelligence has no emotions, but following simple logic, their kind should realize this pathetic place they hold on the map nowadays.

It is surprising that the Council of Elders actually tried to back up the right to exist of these toasters. They have no valuable exports, or economy whatsoever. They cannot contribute food for Crete or the money that we can buy food with. They are just pests in our neighbourhood and should be eliminated. This siege will be a lesson to them, and a motivation to go further away from our space.

Despite our victory being important as proof of our might and King's strength, it's not the most crucial thing that will have a place in my report.

First of all – the Order.

I don't know much about what is the grudge between us. After all, I was not involved in politics and not going to be.

United Corsair and Order forces took down the Auxesian warship

During one of the first raids, we had to face the so-called Auxesia: a group of toaster sympathizers, that were involved in defence of the AI lair. They were the most active defenders: appearing out of nowhere and committed strikes on our capital ships, then disappearing or, if were not so lucky, died from guns of our fighters and larger vessels.

The Order patrol appeared prior to one of such skirmishes to start and helped to save a few more lives of our people. Then, until the siege ended, we could enjoy additional firepower against both Nomads and Auxesia or those who dared to fight alongside these beings.

Although it was a pleasant surprise to get a helpful hand in the moment of need, they most likely will demand something in return from us. Therefore, the decision made in the heat of a battle is not leading to our permanent stance toward them yet. They may be a valuable ally against the Core and Nomad forces in Omicrons, but only if the King allows. We will be patiently waiting for His Majesty's decision regarding our relations with the Order.

Auxesian ship was spotted peacefully accompanied by Nomads

Secondly, it was amusing to observe how Nomad ships ignored Auxesian vessels and went directly to us. This makes us think the semi-toasters may be either in some cooperation with the Nomads and Artificial Intelligence, perhaps serving as a middle node in their relations, or to exploit unknown technology that "blinds" Nomads.

The first option is preferable as many times aliens and cyborgs had been working like teaming up and synchronizing their attacks against us and the Order. However, only further analysis may find the truth.

"The Machine's node shut down"

Nevertheless, the assault is over – the Machines lair is no more. We will bury the dead and celebrate our victory after. Meanwhile, send the salvagers to collect the loot remained after the station collapsed. Perhaps we may find something valuable there.

Also, make sure that videos and other visual evidence of our might leaked to NeuralNet. It should fear people, as they have to bow before the Empire and its Emperor, not laugh over it.
