Esteemed Colonel Cameron Mitchell,

Although I'm quick to point out that I , in no shape or form, represent any of the Congress High Command I have been looking into these very disturbing set of events.
Let me first point out to you sir, that while Lobelia's actions were poorly planned and horribly executed it stands to reason that one, as a junker, would defend another junker during an attack more so on the front steps of a Junker Base no less. Granted the situation should of been handled with more Tact then "Roaring guns" on both sides.
Two very strong points I choose to humbly point out are both located in:

1. While it is very strange to see this Hessian Vessel with a Junker ID I must point out that it is within the realm of a Junker to use old salvaged ships as this one was with consent as it was attained.

2. To my best knowledge while he does wear a Junker tag or ID he is not part of the Congress. As stated by Congressman Silver above. I am unaware of his current status.

Whether or not this affects the relationship between The Congress and Deaths| is not up to me to decide. I am going to be very clear with you, Although I know Lobelia was rash and acted poorly the fault is not solely on it. Do not be so rash in pointing out the crust in another's eye and miss the log in your own, I believe is the saying. With that said, I truly hope that this little incident does not get in the way of our relations.

Again I am just one congressman stating his opinion about this I AM NOT, IN ANY WAY, REPRESENTING THE CONGRESSMEN ABOVE ME OR THE VIEWS OF THE CONGRESS AS A COLLECTIVE.

I, as a lower ranking member of the Deaths| squad, have refrained from posting my opinions until now. I must say that as more light has been shed upon the reasons behind Junker Ship Lobelia's Actions I understand the situation better than I did before. I was a part of this Incident and I have the following to clarify:

- I agree that "roaring guns" is hardly the logical way of resolving conflicts. However, I also must note that the scene of a "dogfight" (as the Ancient Earthers used to call such skirmishes) is hardly the place to chat about the situation. When the Ship Lobelia approached our conflict we were in the heat of battle, a battle that was quite a mess to say the least. I for one did not know how why or when the "Legacy" pilots joined the fray nor what the entire situation was at any moment in time. Such is the nature of a battlefield as I am sure most pilots that have been in the business long knows. As the Lobelia approached we received a transmission that ordered us to leave the Scrap field or be fired upon. The reason we could not is simply that we were in the midst of a battle, therefore backed into the corner I knew we were in, I broke off from the battle long enough to transmit the message "I'm afraid that is not very possible right now." With the intent of explaining the situation in full to Lobelia and thus avoid further strife between us. However, Just as I transmitted this message and was preparing the next one Lobelia engaged. After that I gave up attempting to explain and reengaged.

- As you have acknowledged it was indeed very queer seeing a Hessian Cruiser outfitted with a Junker broadcasting code. Because of this we immediately suspected that foul play had been going on, and that these ships were not Junkers after all but merely in disguise. This threw the battle into even more confusion that it already had been in. Allowing less of a chance to talk and explain. We now know that it was not foul play but was rather a Junker custom we were unaware of before. As the information gatherer of the Deaths I blame myself for this.

Logic, reason, and order, I am learning, have little place in a battle. Instead they must be sacrificed for quick thinking, instinct, and chaos... This does grieve me though I can nothing about it.

That is all I have to add to this channel.

Sergent Calego over and out.
