First of all, Mr. Voncloud, it's a real relief to hear from you, and with such good news. I'm very glad that you have finally been released unharmed, and that you can rejoin us. There is much to be done in the near future, and I believe that your presence will be invaluable in our success.
It's promising that you know about the anti-infection systems at Freeport 11, and that you consider that we can implement them at Freeport 9. Frankly, the Church would like to have access to them as well, to install them at Faith Haven. We cannot discard that the aliens may intend to deploy infected human agents on Pygar in the future, or that they may even be here already. Our settlers are all deeply devoted to Deux, and I know that any of the believers of the Faith would not hesitate to immolate themselves rather than allow their bodies or minds to be desecrated by an infected. Still, I'd rather none of them ever have to make that decision, and security systems conveniently installed at the settlement's entrances can help protect us from infiltrations by this aberratio incubi.
Executor Herrera, Elder Buonocore, it's reassuring for me to hear about your commitment to the fight against the unholy aberrations. I understand your reluctance to collaborate with Phoenix. It's true that they haven't made things easy lately, declaring war on the Imperio in such a irrational manner, and refusing to listen to the arguments of their fellow Zoners of Theta. Their incomprehensible aversion to the Treaty, after a year of successful operation and obvious benefits for the inhabitants of the system, makes it very difficult to de-escalate the situation and reach a point of cooperation.
However, I still harbor hope. Deux Our Lord advocates unity among Humanity, and therefore it's my holy duty to try to prevent human beings from wasting their lives fighting each other, when they could better dedicate them to the sacred task of Nomad extermination. I regret that the Imperio considers Phoenix a lost cause, but even so, I appreciate that you're clear about who should be the main target of your cannons when this abominations charge against us in a nefarious horde.
Dr. Holliday, I admire your pragmatism and your vision of reality. Indeed, I agree with you that the only way to confront this endless flood of evil tentacles is for us humans to put aside our futile disputes, even if temporarily out of mere necessity, and focus on fighting the common enemy. We must understand that there is no greater threat in the universe than the Nomads. Any other enemy that any human faction may have, or fear, pales in the shadow of what these abominations pose to all of Humanity. You say that our disunity provokes the laughter of them... I'm not surprised. It must be a joy for this repugnant monsters to see how they gain ground while we're still busy attacking each other... Quite a show...
*The Pontiff narrows his eyes, and a flash of rage and fanaticism can be seen in his gaze, while he clenches his teeth. His voice becomes rougher, turning into an unpleasant whisper filled with hate.*
They're unnatural creatures crafted by unholy hands to ravage the universe and invade it like a cancer, eradicating all life within their reach. Their only reason for existence is to spread death and desolation, and they delight in fulfilling their purpose. You cannot negotiate with them, you cannot use diplomacy, bribes, or even threats, because their only goal will always be the demise of our race, and they covet nothing else. There are even those who have tried to use the Nomads as a strategic asset, or as a tactical advantage against other humans... Mad fools... The only interaction that can be had with a Nomad, an infected human, or a heretic worshiper, must be the purification through plasma and fire. We must be aware that in the moment they appear in front of us, any human further dispute must be stopped. Our weapons must be turned as one towards the aliens and proceed with the Holy Purge... until the dismembered pieces of the last of them burn in the void... consuming themselves... under the gaze of Our Lord...
*Gregorius's voice gradually fades to silence, staring into nothing. A slight smile of pleasent satisfaction lights up his enraptured face, clearly enjoying the vision his mind is currently imagining. After a few seconds, he blinks rapidly and his eyes return to focusing on the camera, with a totally calm expression as if nothing had happened.*
In another order of things... Dr. Holliday, I didn't know that you had such a lack in terms of ships with combat capabilities to defend the Academy. I will be sending one of the two gunships of the Pontifical Navy that will remain on Theta to take charge of the protection of your facilities. With the destroyer that Mr. Voncloud intends to send and our gunship, as well as the new weapons platforms you've installed, I think we can ensure the station is secure against attacks of aberrations and of those... unknown ships. In addition, I will ask my Field Maestre about the possibility of modifing our fighter patrol routes, so that they regularly pass near the Academy and verify that everything is okay.
Oh... I almost forgot. Executor Herrera, I fully support your idea of offering Mr. Voncloud the position of Zoner co-Administrator of Freeport 9. The extensive experience he already has as a manager will be of great use in keeping the station safe in these dangerous times, and in supervising the rebuilding works of the biodomes. As a resident of Pygar, I know his approach to running an Administration, and I can say that I know of no one more suited to the position than him. A man capable of putting the well-being of those under his responsibility before his personal pride will always have my respect.
