It strikes me as amusing, gentlemen, that your two factions should be arguing like this, trying to lay blame on each other, when indeed you two are both quite to blame. You see, We have observers on both sides of this fence, and we can both tell you what truly happened at this little fight of yours. The actual force that assaulted Omicron Gamma today was fairly small, particularly in comparison to the attack launched at Malta a scant twenty-four hours previous. Their intent was simply to destroy as many Capital Ships as possible and dent your beloved Gunboat force, they never intended to do any damage to Crete at all this day... As for the Benitez's claims of stopping the hordes of Outcasts waiting at the gates of Malta, I think you will find that most of those hordes were at Corsica, receiving repairs from that massive overkill and waste of resources that took place yesterday. All the Benitez managed, by pulling themselves into the orbit of Malta, was to sacrifice multiple important fleet elements in a useless attack on Malta's planetary assault grid, which had its countless hordes of thermonuclear missiles in the air before the Benitez even passed Ibiza. The Outcasts had expected this maneuver, and were indeed quite prepared, retreating all of their in-system traffic to the fortress at Corsica. At this time Commander Bonello is most likely seated behind her desk on the unfinished MNS Requiem, sipping from a glass of Chardonnay and smiling, knowing that numerically she has you both dead to rights, while the Nova Power Gen fleets are contented to sleep soundly at Mito tonight, knowing that yet another of their countless enemies has been rendered ineffective for quite some time, and may indeed destroy itself in a bloody civil war. This concludes our Address.
