X's Decision.

[Red_Bull]

I also contacted Waratah to get his explanation. He told me he was there with his friend, shooting nomad NPC's. Then, the navy came and goaded him into fighting. He fled back to the Atum. The navy followed him. Then, the Bastet turned up. He said the Bastet gave the order to kill him but he never fired on the Bastet. Then, after a while, the Bastet started firing on him using the reason that the Waratah had fired on the Bastet.

Looking through the screen-shots I came to the conclusion that the Waratah did not open fire on the Bastet and that the Bastet told the navy to open fire on the Waratah.

What had appeared was that the Waratah fired on the Bastet, it was hard to see where he was actually aiming due to poor visibility in the Alaska system. Now this could've been a few things either the Waratah or the Atum since an Osiris' shots are quite easy to identify from the Navy's. I do wonder if this was an accident and would be half and half on this, since this thing has happened before with the Bastet and him. I did see Bastets shields drop around a quarter which does seem strange (Takes more then one salvo to do that). But then again Waratah was being bomber swarmed, and in the same situation I tend to blind fire all around me so they will stay away. This could've been one of these incidents or couldn't have. Bastet did however give the order for the destruction of the Waratah since he wouldn't comply with the orders givin.

Now before the Bastet showed up I was in Alaska trying to defuse this situation as fast as I could (RP wise we wouldn't stand a chance if the LN full fledged waged war on us). Time passed by with the same thing being said by both sides so we weren't getting anywhere. I figured I would let them duke it out and just give up since I have no jurisdiction over the Waratah and said group. I believe I handled the situation well but there was really nothing I could do to stop this major battle about to break out. The Bastet then showed up and continued diplomatic talks further so I went to the Atum to guard the Bastet. So Waratah refused the Bastets orders and it went downhill from there.

Since this thing happened before where the Waratah said it was a "misfire" or something I'm just kind of skeptical to believe him. I do however believe he has shown tremendous improvement since he was a Kray. So kudos to him for at least trying. Hopefully this clears some things up.
