Encounter Description :After hearing of tense diplomatic situation between Auxesia and Liberty, even involving our very own Lt. Kaye in a very unpleasant 5 versus 1 fight, I decided to go take a stroll in Cortez and talk to our friends of the 14Bis base. Not far from it, I found 3 A\) in dialogue with =LSF= Warden - presumably talking about the recent incidents.
I decided to ask for their side of the story, and they delivered.
Outcome and Recommendations:
Full transcript of interview is logged below. Encounter resulted in no combat, and I left for West Point to write this report from my own desk.
My Recommendation, like I told the Auxesian in Cortez, is that Lt. Kaye gets what she deserves from the 46th swiftly and with certanty. And to me there is only one thing she deserves:
A DAMN MEDAL and a fine promotion.
She engaged ONCE AGAIN forces much more numerous, and this time, forces who were shooting and disabling our allies of the 5th. Let Admirals and diplomats handle those boring politics, from my point of view, Kaye did nothing wrong and as a fellow soldier I salute her sacrifice and commitment to PEACE AND DEMOCRACY.
Hoping to see this situation unfold the best way possible.

=LSF=Warden: Uh, which one of you three is the highest ranking person?
2020-11-16 00:59:18 SMT
=LSF=Warden: If you have ranks, that is.
A/)-Krauklis: Why?
2020-11-16 00:59:29 SMT
=LSF=Warden: I have some questions.
A/)-Krauklis: Then send a comm.
2020-11-16 00:59:39 SMT
=LSF=Warden: That is effort.
2020-11-16 00:59:43 SMT
=LSF=Warden: Why do that when I can just talk to you here?
A/)-Krauklis: Because we're not the higher ups.
2020-11-16 00:59:55 SMT
A/)-Erodios: The fleets and their admirals.
2020-11-16 00:59:58 SMT
=LSF=Warden: Understandable.
2020-11-16 01:00:08 SMT
=LSF=Warden: Maybe I will catch a higher up one day.
2020-11-16 01:00:14 SMT
A/)-Guillotine: I'm relatively new to this whole... purple is power thing.
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: Greetings
2020-11-16 01:00:21 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: It would be faster to send a communication...
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: This is Rear Admiral Romeo Darkbeat from the Navy 46th Strike Force
2020-11-16 01:00:36 SMT
=LSF=Warden: Hello civi- officer.
2020-11-16 01:00:54 SMT
=LSF=Warden: Purple is power, huh?
A/)-Krauklis: Purple power.
2020-11-16 01:01:01 SMT
=LSF=Warden: I guess your theme does have a lot of purple in it.
2020-11-16 01:01:03 SMT
A/)-Guillotine: Wight is power too.
2020-11-16 01:01:03 SMT
A/)-Erodios: Indeed.
2020-11-16 01:01:11 SMT
=LSF=Warden: Purple is a neat colour, makes sense.
A/)-Krauklis: Very good.
2020-11-16 01:01:42 SMT
=LSF=Warden: Uhh, Romeo, everything is totally under control.
2020-11-16 01:01:48 SMT
=LSF=Warden: You can go patrol other places if you would like to.
2020-11-16 01:02:07 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: I heard talks have been... tense
A/)-Krauklis: Rear Admiral might love the idea of patrolling.
2020-11-16 01:02:26 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: All of you can rest assured my weapons will be the last to power up
2020-11-16 01:02:26 SMT
=LSF=Warden: Yeah. Very. Like deciding our favourite tea.
2020-11-16 01:02:35 SMT
=LSF=Warden: I still can't.
2020-11-16 01:02:46 SMT
=LSF=Warden: Hey android, do you have like a formal name or something?
2020-11-16 01:03:01 SMT
=LSF=Warden: I feel like calling you that is rude? Maybe?
2020-11-16 01:03:01 SMT
A/)-Erodios: I go by the name Erodios.
2020-11-16 01:03:16 SMT
=LSF=Warden: Wanna get some tea together some day, Erodios?
2020-11-16 01:03:16 SMT
A/)-Erodios: My old name doesnt matter.
2020-11-16 01:03:27 SMT
A/)-Erodios: I had enough today, my apologies.
2020-11-16 01:03:37 SMT
A/)-Erodios: Three cans a day is enough.
2020-11-16 01:03:41 SMT
=LSF=Warden: Well yeah, which is why I said some day.
2020-11-16 01:03:54 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: I'm more of a coffee person, but if the tea is good...
2020-11-16 01:03:56 SMT
A/)-Erodios: As long as things dont escalate.
2020-11-16 01:04:01 SMT
=LSF=Warden: They probably shouldn't.
2020-11-16 01:04:02 SMT
A/)-Erodios: Sure, why not.
A/)-Krauklis: There is no reason for things to escalate.
2020-11-16 01:04:15 SMT
=LSF=Warden: Probably.
A/)-Krauklis: Unless a 5th comes by.
2020-11-16 01:04:24 SMT
=LSF=Warden: One did come by.
A/)-Krauklis: Then they will most likely start blasting.
2020-11-16 01:04:33 SMT
=LSF=Warden: Which is why I had questions.
2020-11-16 01:04:48 SMT
=LSF=Warden: I heard things aren't exactly smooth with others in Liberty.
2020-11-16 01:05:02 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: Well, I happen to be friends with Admiral Van Leer and you can maybe get the 46th out of this if you tell your side of the stor
2020-11-16 01:05:11 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: --story
2020-11-16 01:05:29 SMT
=LSF=Warden: It would be delightful to know the situation in full.
2020-11-16 01:05:36 SMT
=LSF=Warden: Would make my life so much easier.
2020-11-16 01:05:45 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: Same
2020-11-16 01:05:49 SMT
=LSF=Warden: I am sure.
2020-11-16 01:06:11 SMT
A/)-Erodios: Krauklis, do you mind explaining?
2020-11-16 01:06:24 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: Only thing I have for info is a 5 versus one "self defense"
2020-11-16 01:06:48 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: But, I'm more than willing to listen and maybe help solve this diplomatic debacle
2020-11-16 01:07:03 SMT
=LSF=Warden: Five versus one?
2020-11-16 01:07:08 SMT
=LSF=Warden: Who were the five?
2020-11-16 01:07:40 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: What? A Navy taskforce came to shoot our forces. We defended ourselves.
2020-11-16 01:07:55 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: The ones that came later, who didn't engage, we left them alone. They were wondering what was going on, why the others
2020-11-16 01:07:56 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: engaged.
2020-11-16 01:08:15 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: oh, ok, now that's better
2020-11-16 01:08:43 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: Do you happen to remember who engaged immediately and who stopped to talk? could help immensely
2020-11-16 01:09:12 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: No one stopped to talk, the ones that came to engage - wanted to stay engaged.
2020-11-16 01:09:21 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: There were 'three waves' - let's say.
2020-11-16 01:09:25 SMT
=LSF=Warden: Do you remember any of the names?
2020-11-16 01:09:26 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: Ones that went to Yuma and attacked.
2020-11-16 01:09:31 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: And the ones that attacked us when we were leaving.
2020-11-16 01:09:51 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: And then the late comers that came and wondered why we just blew up one of the attacking Carriers. We left the late comers
2020-11-16 01:09:52 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: alone.
2020-11-16 01:09:57 SMT
=LSF=Warden: I feel like a police officer asking such questions.
2020-11-16 01:09:59 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: Because they didn't shoot.
2020-11-16 01:10:24 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: get used to it warden, We're all a bit police in liberty
2020-11-16 01:10:30 SMT
=LSF=Warden: I rather not.
2020-11-16 01:10:34 SMT
A/)-Erodios: Well, part of the intelligence service is to gather information, or not?
2020-11-16 01:10:43 SMT
=LSF=Warden: Sure, but I tend to not be the one doing it.
2020-11-16 01:10:49 SMT
=LSF=Warden: I get given information and targets.
2020-11-16 01:10:50 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: The 5th, LNS Walker Marcus Walker and 5th Valley Forge engaged us when we were on our way out. Along with 46th
2020-11-16 01:10:52 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: Kaye Brutus.
2020-11-16 01:11:15 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: The 5th LNS Miasma was the very first one to engage us at Yuma.
2020-11-16 01:11:35 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: Ok so, your side of the story then is that the 5th engaged you first and then 3 ways of Liberty Navy went for you...
2020-11-16 01:11:44 SMT
=LSF=Warden: So, 46th also engaged?
2020-11-16 01:11:51 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: Including 5th vessels and 46th|Kaye.Brutus ?
2020-11-16 01:11:51 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: Yes.
2020-11-16 01:11:52 SMT
=LSF=Warden: Interesting.
2020-11-16 01:11:57 SMT
A/)-Erodios: Indeed.
2020-11-16 01:12:03 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: The two late comers were the 46th LNS Lemon, and the LNS Resonance.
2020-11-16 01:12:08 SMT
=LSF=Warden: It's almost like the entire Navy is against you.
2020-11-16 01:12:09 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: Where Resonance asked why they were even engaging.
2020-11-16 01:12:24 SMT
=LSF=Warden: I wonder what the fuck have you done to provoke an entire task force.
2020-11-16 01:12:37 SMT
=LSF=Warden: Surely merely existing isn't /the/ reason?
2020-11-16 01:12:43 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: I wonder why the fuck Crayter is stealing our kind and getting protection from 5th.
2020-11-16 01:12:45 SMT
A/)-Erodios: Liberty Navy is getting blinded by something from the Crayterians, they don't even get the whole picture.
2020-11-16 01:12:46 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: I'm not even sure about that part
2020-11-16 01:13:03 SMT
=LSF=Warden: I am glad I am not part of that circus.
2020-11-16 01:13:03 SMT
A/)-Erodios: Whyever the 5th still needs to send a task force, though the gallic war is already over.
2020-11-16 01:13:09 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: It is a shit show.
2020-11-16 01:13:14 SMT
A/)-Erodios: Indeed...
2020-11-16 01:13:14 SMT
=LSF=Warden: Sounds like it.
2020-11-16 01:13:23 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: But that's the beauty of leaving no one behind.
2020-11-16 01:13:23 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: BUT, I'm taking notes and will take them straight to FADM James Creed, the First in Command of the 46th
2020-11-16 01:13:37 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: We also noticed that 5th ignored our comms today, before all of this.
2020-11-16 01:13:49 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: We heard about a Nomad incursion. We offered help, but we got no response in regards to that.
2020-11-16 01:13:50 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: We'll investigate what happened and will get Kaye or any 46th involved what they deserve
2020-11-16 01:14:22 SMT
A/)-Erodios: Seems, we are seeing faces of reason for once?
2020-11-16 01:14:24 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: It is not revenge or justice we are looking for.
2020-11-16 01:14:36 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: We are simply looking to return our own kind.
2020-11-16 01:14:44 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: I'm a citzen of Liberty first, soldier second
2020-11-16 01:14:51 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: Rear Admiral is a late third place
2020-11-16 01:15:10 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: Too many navy officers like to just blast stuff
2020-11-16 01:15:13 SMT
=LSF=Warden: I mean, you know. That's fair. Having your people kidnapped isn't probably too hot.
2020-11-16 01:15:31 SMT
A/)-Erodios: We had enough talks with them over comms.
2020-11-16 01:15:34 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: I know when to use words instead of guns to achieve what Liberty and Democracy needs
2020-11-16 01:15:35 SMT
A/)-Erodios: To negotiate.
2020-11-16 01:15:43 SMT
A/)-Erodios: We dont know what got into their heads.
2020-11-16 01:15:54 SMT
=LSF=Warden: Power, probably.
2020-11-16 01:16:00 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: You might want to talk directly to 5th as we have no say over them
2020-11-16 01:16:09 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: They failed to maintain their bargain of this whole ... "NATO" -- whatever the hell that is -- treaty or something.
2020-11-16 01:16:22 SMT
=LSF=Warden: I mean, I will be very honest.
2020-11-16 01:16:27 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: They allowed a Gaian Cruiser to destroy civilians vessels right in front of us and did nothing.
2020-11-16 01:16:28 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: Not even budged.
2020-11-16 01:16:32 SMT
A/)-Erodios: I only know the ancient earth "NATO" whatever this new one means.
2020-11-16 01:16:35 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: But I can assure you the 46th will be informed of your testimonial in full
2020-11-16 01:16:45 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: Then HC will decide
2020-11-16 01:17:06 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: I have to go now, but we'll see you soon
2020-11-16 01:17:25 SMT
A/)-Krauklis: I'm not the boss here. Best send all that talk to a comm.
2020-11-16 01:23:06 SMT Traffic control alert: 46th|Romeo-Darkbeat has requested to dock
2020-11-16 01:23:16 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: Situation in Cortez is solved for now
2020-11-16 01:23:21 SMT
46th|Romeo-Darkbeat: don't engage them
2020-11-16 01:24:01 SMT
46th|Weis_Maijers: solved with fight or Dialoge?
