We don't need introductions, but sure as hell I need to make some things clear.
Let me explain in more detail what our MO is regarding civilians in a battlezone, to de-mystify our criteria to whether we consider them valid targets or not, because apparently you paid no attention to how we work in the field in our communication.
We filter every civilian not wearing a flag throughout a check list to determine whether their presence in the region is justified in support or against our cause, if after a check list we determine they are actively working against us, aiding Liberty or whatever would-be parasitic House corporation, making profits off misery and resources that do not belong to them, then we direct them towards being useful to our cause, or we tell them to vacate the system and not return, whichever might be more convenient.
And you can go ahead and spare me the whole "Zoners are working for these companies" bullshit, because we both know that if Zoners are involved with DSE in any capacity they would never be allowed anywhere near a ship nor to leave the planet, instead they'll have to deal with blue collar, shit and dangerous jobs anchored in-land where these leeches can keep them on a leash and at clear sight at all times, because Zoners are precisely the people that wouldn't hesitate to be useful and help us if they had the means, pilots and captains are privileged in having freedom of movement that the majority of people doesn't, I wish I didn't have to explain this but I'll spare you the embarrassment in a direct comm because that wasn't the point here.
With that being said, the New Dawn has our gratitude for trying to take the colossal task of spearheading a coordinated effort against Liberty in Pennsylvania, it's a shame that all guest groups so far excluding the Platform seem to be carrying a heavy and glowing baggage that I'd rather our people didn't have to deal with. I don't know the details about the kind of deal you made with them but surely didn't involve us and I hope it didn't involve the PLF as well, the least thing we need is these holier-than-thou would-be heroes defending bootlickers, we already have the LPI and the Navy for that.

Right, we're cutting to the chase, then.
I did read your MO about how you work in the field. Read the whole thing, played back the logs of you holding up that transport and everything. I ain't impressed.
Y'might have a bunch of hoops y'jump through to try and justify it, but the fact of the matter is still that pretty much everyone disagrees with how you're approaching the damn thing. Y'can point fingers, say "no true Militant" or whatever. Fact of the matter is, you're pitching a hissy fit when people tell you not to shoot at unaffiliated freelancers, and instead of taking the criticism you're saying everyone else is wrong. I ain't even strictly disagreeing that attacking their shipping hurts Liberty, I've just got other priorities. Like making sure that our little coalition doesn't eat itself alive the moment I look away, or making sure that Liberty ain't gonna take our mistakes and plaster them all over the newsfeed to rally sympathy against us.
So, like. We can play this game if y'really wanna. Or we can do something useful. I'd rather do something useful, but you're gonna have to stop the trashtalk and scaremongering for me to take you seriously. Accusations of infection with no credible proof ain't worth shit, so I'm not playing that game. Erie's more important, and we ain't gonna do shit with Erie if we don't work together as a team.
Are you gonna play nice with the other kids, or am I gonna have to get serious with you?

You talk big, too big for a newcomer, Siara, I think you've clearly forgotten your place because otherwise you wouldn't be pulling ultimatums at my doorstep.
Let me remind you a little fact; you're a fucking nobody so far, Siara, see my comms so far and you'll see the difference between you and me, not once I tried to order you about what you're supposed to do, yet here you are now, doing exactly that, we don't have this kind of relationship, you didn't earn this right.
I've tried to address this in a civil manner because we share the same goal, or so I want to believe, despite how misguided you seem to be, and you're wearing my patience thin, patience I'd rather spend someplace else. No one around this yard even knew what your group was a month ago, you showed up with promises and big speeches that maybe are enough to convince those scholars and book socialists from LA or the bundies from Rheinland, but we're old timers in here, and the Xenos have been sitting on this frontline for three hundred years -which by the way, you forgot to include when you said no one likes what we're doing-, you sure as hell are the last one that earned any right to go around ordering, demanding and throwing ultimatums here, specially to keep these Navy-wannabe clowns and those technofreaks and their pawns that aren't even locals around, waving flags and causes that surely are far from aligning with what we stand for.
Tread carefully, Siara, don't disappoint me because earning my respect back isn't easy.

My guy, you're also a nobody. I don't know who you are, or why y'think I should listen to you, other than you're a militant captain that disagrees with the MO that we've established as a coalition.
So, like. I dunno why you're threatening me, I dunno what kinda leverage y'think you have over me, I dunno why y'wanna die on this hill, I dunno why you think I should care so much about what you think. Y'can go shoot freelancers if y'really wanna, I literally can't stop you. I'm just telling you that it's against what pretty much everyone else actually flying a Militant flag says they want.
You can get mad if y'want. Can't stop you there, either. I'm just telling you the truth, which is that you're not gonna make any friends with that attitude. Except the Xenos, I guess, but they haven't really been doing much except spitting insults and slinging accusations, so I dunno why you're putting 'em up on a pedestal.
Meanwhile? I'm gonna keep doing the legwork that actually gets shit done. Let me know if y'wanna help.
