I appreciate your detailed account of the situation. While the loss of Cairo and Capetown is somewhat regrettable, the Brotherhood is not concerned with defending those who care little about or even oppose the Corsair Empire. What does concern us is the clear escalation of the alien Nomad menace. If the Order focussed on defending their installations instead of being a nuisance to honest Corsair artifact traders, perhaps this would not have happened. If they need to beg for our support once again, they know where to find us. As for the Core: perhaps this will finally snuff out their dream to colonize the Omicrons, it serves them right.
Nevertheless, the Nomads advance with a ferocity and coordination that I believe we have not seen since the Great Nomad War. It is clear that increased Nomad attacks in Omicron Theta will be inevitable if we do not act now. And act we will, our allies have our fullest attention and as such I have ordered battlegroup Iona to be mobilised. Our warriors are very experienced with hunting these creatures, it is a challenge that brings joy to a guerrero's heart.
As for that useless Phoenix rabble, I will be clear: they have chosen to distance themselves from the protectorate. They have made their position known, and so have we. Phoenix will stand alone, and should they encounter Nomads, they will serve as nothing more than a barrier to absorb the enemy’s fire. Their survival is of zero concern to the Brotherhood. They will be used as shields, distractions, and cannon fodder. They have made themselves expendable and we shall rejoice in the divine justice of their suffering.
As one Pontifex Maximus to another I wish you well, and for Santa Muerte to protect your people. Omicron Theta is sacred ground for the Brotherhood, and it will remain firmly under our control. The Nomad threat is real, but we will not falter. Steel, blood, and unyielding willpower will determine our survival. Deus may guide you, but it is through force and fury that we will triumph. Let the Nomads come. We will gladly meet them with fire and death.
