Rendering transcript... [1] Attention all Pinnacle-affiliated Militants and military partners: Group Clarion has come into intelligence that suggests we have a opportunity to give Pinnacle a leg up in critical spaceframe materials. One of my contract privateers disabled a Universal personnel transport bound for Harrisburg not long ago. Thanks to the assistance of a Xeno Alliance transport, we recovered the luxury passenger module intact - along with its occupant, Commercial Operations Manager Kylie Song. Though a mid-level manager, extensive questioning of Mrs. Song has provided us details on recent Liberty military procurement efforts, in which Universal Shipping is a preferred contractor. This information seems corroborated by a recent public press release, indicating the Liberty Navy is ramping up production and mobilization. Our "guest" informs us that this will be, in part, fueled by a transfer of material with the Kingdom of Bretonia - freshly-built Libertonian Avionic and Interior Systems to compensate for the expedited return of vast quantities of Lend-Lease parts and machinery that sustained the war effort against the Gauls. That equipment served a noble goal. It should continue to do so, in our hands. Pinnacle needs this advantage. Contractor shipping, as well as House merchant marine operations, are expected to run to near the end of this month, with goods flowing in and out of Norfolk Shipyard to and from Bretonia. Expect Liberty forces to guard the lanes towards Cortez and Magellan well, and potentially BAF escorts and transports alongside their own shipping corps. Despite the danger, striking along this avenue is highly recommended at this time. If you do encounter Bretonian forces, use your discretion. The Republic occupation remains our principal foe, but we can't afford to allow transfer of military goods to and from our enemy unimpeded. If BAF escorts attempt to stop your cargo acquisition, remember: we need those supplies. Do what you must to get that material back to Pinnacle. I've pushed our sole transport, the EMS Leatherwood, into a raiding role mooring at Fontana Freeport. They'll be more than willing to assist operations in the field. Those of you with similar capabilities, now's the time to use them. Let's see how much we can get away with. Good luck. Attachments (1) Recorded Images and Transcripts: VIP Capture

SENDER: Major Jae-un Song, CARSTRKGRU1 RIRYAN RECIPIENT: PINNACLE BATTLENET SUBJECT: Opportunity Hey there. So first off, Hanamura's tasking some of the day-to-day strategic and tactical stuff to yours truly. Secondly, no relation to the corpo goon, so with that funny idea out of the way onto the subject at hand. We had been hoping this had been something we could get some nice hardware out of, but hey, if it means helping you all out, then the UMCN is onboard. I actually pushed out an OPORD earlier today regarding restoring full operational capability to the region under our new carrier strike group, and this is the exact kind of thing we had as part of the strategic plan - interdiction and cargo capture of Liberty's logistics, be it military or commercial. That being said, we're onboard with whatever sounds good. Sadly we've not any logistics transports on station for ferrying stolen goods back, so we'll need to use onboard cargo bays and coordinate transport of anything beyond their capacity with allied forces. We're working to remedy it, but it's gonna take some time. That being said, I've advised all ship COs and XOs to keep the Leatherwood on speed-dial to come help pick out the goods, that or to demand redirection to Pinnacle.

Stars greet you all,

Those aboard The Accord have heard your call to action and I am pleased to share they have voted to take action upon it. We shall be moving to support raiding operations in solidarity with Pinnacle's cause. We lack the hold to ferry goods in earnest but we can contribute to operational security.

Liberty is a long way from home for us. What we have in spirit we lack in logistical means. Milford has been kind enough to host us since our arrival, but for an operation akin to this we'd benefit from flexiblity in locations to take refuge. To those recipients willing to host us, please clarify stations and coordinates for said stations where we'd be welcome, even if temporarily.

Ciao, fra.

Scerri on-line.

These are great tidings, beyond doubt. I'm assuming you're looking to plunder as much as we can and keep it for ourselves to serve our ends, judging by your communique, and are expecting all the help you can get. We'll be there.

We'll rob, plunder and recover as much as we can to further our cause. How... is another question. We will figure this out once we've stocked on the goods, ran an inventarisation and determined how much there is to go off of. Moretti, as I'm assuming you'll be biting on this. I expect you'll keep your grudges about you and your men about your belt, as for once, we'll be working to further one cause, whether you hate it or not.

Express that you can be a sensible man, for once. It has to be somewhere within you still, how else would you still stick to your position without getting an airlock ejection tour.

Libera Te Ex Infernis.

I expected nothing, and I am still disappointed. But this is fine, you will choke on your ego eventually.

This is callsign Jackal speaking on behalf of my team.

Looks like we got ourselves a chance to hit them hard, we'll begin scheduling patrols throughout independent worlds to make sure we can intercept as many of those transports as we can, pillage whatever materiel they're hauling at best or shoot them down at worst, be flying under Bretonia or Liberty flag they're moving targets in my book, either would help us. If we manage to intercept and expropriate some of those materials we'll make the shipments back to Pinnacle, we've got a frigate that could do the job getting ready as I speak.

To this end and when on the field I expect both Xeno and Zoner-aligned assets will coordinate and cooperate with us on this common goal.

As to those prometheans flying the purple flag I must say I'm surprised you guys haven't been wiped out by the Order yet. I do hope you bunch got your shit together since last time heard from you, specially if you're going to be landing on local Zoner stations. If rumors reach my ears any of you, -promethean or technocrat- starts glowing near any of our men I'll do my best to drag you to the nearest airlock gate myself.

That'll be all, I'll keep tabs on this comm for the duration of this op', best of luck to everyone and never give up.
