Ronaldo was already thinking of an assassination attempt, or a full scale invasion of omega 50 but he knew those where hardly options.
" The IND are a pain to capture red handed and the temporary autonomous zoners are not a valid target to even try and take a punch at. All in all they really thought this process through. Sometimes I wonder if we would be able to just nuke their bases with a small task force that can slip through unnoticed...."
" Any suggestions of actually harming this process folks? "

Valeria had listened to the foreign man's explanation and then to Ronaldo's thoughts. At the question of how to actually disrupt the well thought out process, she had to think as well.
Maybe we have to start earlier. If we cannot disrupt the convoy bringing the parts to the coalition, maybe we can disrupt the people who build the parts to begin with. Or make the resources they use unacceptable to use, salt their soup in a manner of saying.
And maybe once we have done that, we can mount an attack on them because if they are in the process of scrapping their old ships and the building of their new ones is disrupted, they will lack the ships to fight us and we might be able to hit them, where it hurts, and hard, in their most vulnerable time.
At the mention of 'nuking' the bases Ben shakes his head.
"Not an option, you have the Order to thank for that, Premier Katz managed to negociate with the Order for the design specifications of Planetary Shields so attacking the ground-bases is not really an option at this time unless you managed to get a team in to shut them down first, which is doubtful considering all traffic to and from the planets are heavily controlled by the Coalition." he stated while sighing at Valeria's suggestion.
"That would be difficult, the ones Alvin has contracted to do the shipping are highly trusted and handsomely paid, to get to the supplies before they are shipped you'd have to have a man on the inside who is able to access their cargo." he commented while pushing the bridge of his glasses back up his nose.
"The ships are not to be scrapped all at the same time, Alvin is not stupid, he would phase them in as the new ships became available to be better secured against hostile incursion in the case of an attempted incursion to disrupt the Coalition's agenda, there is one piece of good news, the Order is no longer friends of the Coalition after the Coalition handed over several extremely dangerous artifacts that could potentially destroy the sector." he stated the last part almost nonchalantly as if talking about the weather.
At the response of a direct attack being out of question and the supplies being brought by handsomly paid and trusted individuals, Valeria remained quiet. She had expected these two options to be out of question, but she was grasping at straws here, and sometimes the solution hides in plain sight. But apparently not this time.
Si, and to be honest it would have surprised me to hear my last two suggestions to actually be an option. I only wanted to be sure to think of everything as I have also no idea on how to actually harm the process.
She spoke slowly with a defeated sigh and an apologetic shrug of her shoulders.
Ronaldo was getting somewhat depressed by the entirety of the conversation. "So Basically they are producing new ships on places that we can not damage in any possible way and their construction materials are impossible to touch unless we get an agent on the inside and we all know how hard that is. The only possible way we can delay their production is if we destroy their prototypes or assassinate the developer... The developer is on the bases we can not damage in any way and their prototyes are always flown in their highly secured systems with a large security force. "
Ronaldo though to himself that they needed a miracle or a large nomad fleet... or both.
"Basically we are screwed.... Any suggestions about things that I did miss? "

Ben waited patently as they talked about potential options on dealing with the prototypes, as he thought about options he got an idea, it would be hard to enact, but it could work provided everything was perfect...Coughing to get the attention of Ronaldo he nodded.
"While I do not know where the Prototypes are at this point in time, I do however know of something that does." He states, reaching to the control panel he input commands that brought up a picture of a room, they could see it was not the most inviting of places, sections of walls had large cables attached to a large container in the center of the room, likely providing power and a data-link to whatsoever resided within the crate.
Ben folded his hands behind his back as he calmly told them his plan.
"This is BAAL, or Biologically Augmented Artificial Life-form, It is a self-aware Artificial Intelligence that has been modified with Human brain tissue to enhance it's ability to analyze whatever it 'sees' and even has emotions of it's own." he stated, taking a breath before continuing. "There are only three of these AI Cores when I was in the service of the Coalition, one was located on a Gunboat, the prototype, one onboard the Typoon 'Lithuania' and one located on Jiangxi in an underground complex below my personal home, the Warner Estate." he stated, his eyes looking over each one of them in turn before continuing onwards. "Now I doubt you want to try to break onto a Warship to access their AI Cores, however the one within the Estate should be easier to access, I propose we smuggle a small team onto Jiangxi, disguised as Refugees as the Coalition has been taking in Refugees from Bretonia as of late to repopulate Jiangxi, break into the estate and gain access to the underground facility, from there one of the team-members will hack into the AI Core and find the information we need." he finished, it wouldn't be easy to infiltrate Omega-52 but it was possible, he had another idea to help deal with that problem...
" Senor, do you think any of us corsairs can easily operate within lawfull bretonia? It has been done, several decades ago and since that date secuirty has raised extremely. It would be a pain to get into a refugee camp. and a pain to be taken to Jiangxi"
"If you can raise a team that can do so please tell senor!"
