SENDER: Commander Nodoka Hanamura, Battlegroup Ouroboros RECIPIENT: PENNSYLVANIA RESISTANCE GENERAL NET SUBJECT: Multifaceted Adjutant Royce, Let me tell you a story. Years ago, I was the administrator of Freeport 11. This was before I left Zoner Society to establish the Ouroboros movement. Freeport 11 was a home for me and so many others, but we were betwixt two regional superpowers, the Core.. and the Order. Long ago, I shared the same admiration and respect for the Order that I'm certain you and your men do today. Make no mistake, this is not out of some affinity for the Slomon K'hara. This is out of the reality that not only did the Order disregard nomad forces in the area to attack fellow humans, The Order Overwatch's leader, Michal Golanski, made threats to use nuclear weapons upon every Freeport and Zoner installation within reach of the Order Fleet. There was no Phoenix, in those days. After I took the helm from Kyu Akibara, I truly understood the gravity of the situation - we were well nested within the Territory of the Core's Imperium Omicronis - We were stuck between a rock and a hard place, and instead of understanding our dilemma, and knowing that irregardless we had no malintent, especially, after years prior, Erik Nodtviet already nuked the damned thing before, and the Order had helped us then! But no, they decided 'Death to the Zoners!', All the while Nomads linger in the heavens above, ready to kill us all! Now, I will not put words in the mouths of the 34th, for their HIGHCOM may have different feelings on the matter. But as far as I am concerned, the Order are not these 'protectors of humanity' you claim them to be. They haven't been since Casper Orillion's disappearance. They are led by a tyrant, and for as long as he lives, as his ORBAT remains anything more than a fresh stump lacking anything above the MIDCOM, I will continue to see them as such, and Implore the Zoners of Erie to see so as well. The Order are not your friends. Let the blood lost defending the place I called home for so long be evidence of that. Now -- On the topic of Prometheus. This evidence is... concerning. I will definitely be putting a moratorium on support for their forces until I can establish what exactly in the hell is going on in Inverness. Our affiliation with Prometheus is as a fellow force supporting Erie, and similar ideological beliefs with regards to our respective houses of interest. As for Jackal.. I won't humor your absurd statement with a response. In solidarity with Zoner society, Nodoka Hanamura Commander, Battlegroup Ouroboros
