Listen here, I do not have time to negotiate with any of you – this is not a matter who is right or wrong, that counts for squat. All I know is this time tmr, everyone in the gaming network is just to have one thing in their heads, the brotherhood downed a hospital vessel, that is all they are going to remember. This is a case of a man caught with his pants down, the rest is just academic – do you understand me?

So if you talking abt the truth, I say fuck it, the truth is what they think and I rather rule in hell than be ruled in heaven.

Gentlemen we are in the shit hole, so you can all stand there and play 20 questions with me or you can help with bury the stiff in our living room – listen carefully to me, I want you AB and SB to go with Atomic Chimp get the rest of scholars to calculate how long I have to do my thing here in D’ni – I need the whole line up fuel projections, logistics right down to how long I can fight it out here without running out of bullets, get 3 teams to work round the clock on this, I need it tmr – get Vollariane to go down to the Legation and stall those mothers, promise them anything, tell them anything they want to hear, just buy me 48 hrs- we are going in this is the real one, there are no turnings after this point, we bite, suck it in and just go with the flow, thats as good as it gets.

Do you understand me?

Good.

I really don’t understand how such a series of coincidences could have happened. Why didn’t weren’t their lights on? How did they manage to get so deep in without being detected? There was a 15 min delay in the vid-com, I believe it could be a new type of warping tech that was used to insert the craft within the ex zone.

Darkness,

We should at least try to make an effort to inform the Legation that it was an innocent mistake. I believe we have a chance of convincing some of them.

Listen carefully to me. This was all pre-planned, no one in their right mind will order a hospital space vessel into an exclusion zone – they gambled that we will overeact and they gambled right, we lose, they win. It was brilliantly planned executed with precision and design to put pressure on us on the diplomatic front. We were just too dumb to see it.

This puts us in an untenable position, many of our European Allies don’t want beef with the Legation / sanctions will come along with the cancellation of landing rights / ask Vollariane to send a diplomatic team to the Legation stall for time.

This changes everything, we can no longer use time as a weapon – prepare for war.

OK lets not waste time trying to deal with spilled milk issues – what’s done is done and cannot be undone. No matter how right we are to take out a hospital space vessel, that will not cut one molecule of ice with the Legation and Federation. It just goes a long way to confirm their opinion that we are a bunch of thugs.

Ask Vollariane and his Memphisto to send a diplomatic team to the Legation / they will know what to do – it is only a matter of time bfr the Legation and confederation will impose sanctions on our Trade Guilds.

Gentlemen we have lost the PR war today. I fear this means while we may win every battle, we will still lose the war – Bc the real war is in the hearts and minds.

Calm down. I have reviewed the vid-sat / 8 attempts were made to hail the ‘Liberati.’ On at least 4 occasions, tracers were fired broad side as warning shots to advise them to turn back: THESE WARNINGS WERE NOT HEEDED! THEIR NAVIGATION LIGHTS WERE OFF / IF THEY WERE REALLY CIVILIAN VESSELS WHY WERE DID THEY ASSUME COMBAT MODE?

@ 89.09, Both the Dimitri and the Sentinel, registered that the vessel claimed to be the “Liberati” had powered up their shields and prepared for full weaponization of Plasma canons.

What did you really expect us all to do?

KOHO who was the idiot that gave the order to shot down a hospital vessel? I cannot believe the continental team that took over the Pacific shift fucked up so badly! Do you have any idea what sort of explaining I will have to do with the Legation???????????????? I want the full transcript of the com – pls send it to me now!

[From The Space Station Dimitri - command center 16 / EPAC]

[At 72.98 / two medium sized ion vessels were destroyed after straying into the exclusion zone / despite repeated attempts to turn them back, these warnings were ignored / @ 920.82
Sard-Khan divisions were ordered to torpedo the Scientific vessel "Nostromo" and the hospital vessel, "The Liberati."

Nearly 8 attempts were made to hail these vessels to no avail / @ 920.88, they were destroyed - there are no survivors END]
