A Missive to the Population of Liberty

[Eva Adenauer]

"Abend, men und women of zhe Republic. If Ich may introduce myself, Ich am Eva Karla Adenauer, Executive Director of zhe Liberty Security Force. It ist with a heavy heart and a saddened soul that Ich bear this news. An ancient quote once said "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it," und Ich am afraid zhis is exactly what is transpiring.

At approximately 1800 hours, two days ago, an LSF task force consisting of zhe Carrier "Freedom," Battlecruiser "Sugarloaf Mountain," und zhe Siege Cruiser "Scorpion" attempted to apprehend zhe Battleship "Harmony," under suspicion of possible alien influence among zhe crew. Shortly after zheir arrival und capture of zhe Harmony, however, zhe Dreadnought "Malrone" und Carrier "Nevada" arrived on scene, flanked by numerous Naval auxiliary craft. Despite my insistance that zhe capture of zhe Harmony was strictly under zhe jurisdiction of zhe Security Force, Admiral Reaser und Fleet Admiral Jones refused to relent, und ordered zhhe Harmony to a secure Naval facility. Zhey refused to allow the Security Force access to zhe facility in order to participate in zheir operations, und when Ich insisted, zhey locked weapons on zhe Freedom.

Ich was forced to relent, und released zhe Harmony into zheir custody. Our small task force provided escort, zhough a number of the Navy vessels took flanking positions around our ships. Soon enough, well, listen for yourselves:

[26.07.2016 23:03:23] 5th|LNS-Odyssey: Jackson: All man to battlestations open fire!

We were assaulted, completely und utterly without mercy, by members of zhe Liberty Navy First und Fifth Fleets. All three of our capital-class vessels were severely damaged und left to drift. Zhe wash from the Nevada's engines roasted hull plating und boiled crewmen und women alive, melting the flesh from zheir bones.

In addition, Ich received word less zhan an hour ago that LSF Patrols "Alpha," "Gamma," und "Tau," as well as the gunboats "Mount Sunflower" und "Marble Mountain" were accosted once more by members of zhe Fifth Fleet und secondary auxiliary.



[BEGIN AUDIO PLAYBACK]

[28.07.2016 20:12:01] LNS-Locust: Engage the Gunboat.
[28.07.2016 20:13:11] LNS-Repulse: MacMiller: We have permission to open fire. Target is the Gunboat.
[28.07.2016 20:13:07] LN|Blue.Dawn: Mike:Get ready to feel the pain LSF

Whilst our vessels had no ill intent, nor did zhey fire on the Naval vessels, zhey were relentlessly attacked by a force of more zhan three Overlord-class Dreadnoughts, an Atlantis-class Assault Carrier, a pair of Archer-class Siege Cruisers, und more zhan a half dozen snubcraft. With a little luck, und much skill, all of our pilots managed to escape, with no losses sustained, to our designated rendezvous point.

Ich can only assume zhat members of the Admiralty have fallen under some foreign influence, as even now zhe Government of Liberty ist taking steps towards martial law, und zhe suppression of President Powell's upcoming election in order for him to maintain control. In addition, audio logs have crossed my desk involving President Powell und zhe desire to maintain a near-constant state of war in Liberty. Zhis can only benefit members of the military industrial complex, corporations like Ageira Technologies, Detroit Munitions, und Deep Space Engineering. Companies zhat line their pockets with the blood of innocents, zhe tears of the mothers und fathers, und zhe hard work of our soldiers on zhe front lines.

Zherefore, Ich ask, no, Ich beg of you, people of Liberty. Join me, join zhe last honest military organization in Liberty! We must fight back against zhe tyranny imposed upon us by zhe Admiralty, zhe Government, und even zhe President himself! Every man, woman, und child can make a difference. Leave your production lines, jettison Naval supplies into space, or reroute zhem to Security Force installations. We cannot do this without you, zhe people, zhe hardworking men und women of Liberty. You have been deceived, mislead, und taken advantage of for far too long.

It ist time to put an end to zhis."

Hochachtungsvoll,
Eva Adenauer, Executive Director, Liberty Security Force.

Yeah, I ran into you all wasting time at Norfolk. I then went on to do your job while you all sat around wasting time.

As usual.

Pull your fingers out, blow up the stupid ship, and for once, actually do something about the damn scum running rampant through Liberty. You make me sick.

Greetings, Adenauer-san.

I came to Liberty from Kusari to seek a fortune, mainly working in the Ralston Ice Field to Make my start in Sirius.

However, I cannot in any capacity, support the LSF or Liberty Navy in either of their endeavors, mainly due to the fact that I have more pressing concerns than dealing with a Incompetent Military.

I am leaving this house behind and refuse to deal with it's squabbles, as it is truly going to hell here in Liberty, Unlawfuls running rampant, and LPI stretched thin to deal with them.

I was escorted out of New York by a Lane Hacker, just as I was about to fly straight into Norfolk while the battle was underway. You know, it says a lot about Liberty when some of the unlawfuls are helping with getting civilians and non-hostiles out of Liberty, whereas I have yet to see a LPI ship since I departed from Bethlehem in Pennsylvania.

If you seek a Freelancer's hand in assistance - Do not come to me, for I refuse to partake in your and the Liberty Navy's Hissyfit.

Citizens of Liberty,

I am Admiral Natalie Reaser of the Liberty Navy First Fleet, and I speak on behalf of Fleet Admiral Alan Jones who suffered minor injuries due to the treacherous acts by the Liberty Security Force. The news that the so called Director of the LSF, Eva Adenauer, have brought to you aretruly saddening. However, you've only been deceived by prosaic lies.

In opposite of what Ms. Adenauer claims, the L.N.S Harmony is a Liberty Navy ship that falls under the direct jurisdiction of the Liberty Naval High Command, any transfer or reassignment for the Harmony would have been made official by the State of Defense or President Powell. However, the Liberty Navy had received no directives regarding that. The LSF did not employ diplomatic methods in how the ordeal would be handled. Instead, they showed continuous violent and aggressive behavior towards the Navy battlegroup, however the Navy decided to ignore such incompetent and nonprofessional attitude but remained on our guard. You can hear for yourselves;

[26.07.2016 22:50:19][26.07.2016 22:10:15][26.07.2016 22:09:44] [LN]-LNS-Malrone: Reaser: You seem to be wating trouble, director.
[26.07.2016 22:09:52] =LSF=Freedom: Eva: It was implied zat you would attend, Iota.
[26.07.2016 22:09:56] H|-Iota-6: LSF vessels, permission to cruise?
[26.07.2016 22:10:15] =LSF=Scorpion: Towers: All crew, general quarters, all hands, man your battlestations.
[26.07.2016 22:10:26] =LSF=Scorpion: Towers: Move to yellow alert.
[26.07.2016 22:10:37] LNS-Wreckingball: No internal war now!
[26.07.2016 22:10:41] =LSF=Freedom: Eva: Harmony, continue as planned by /my/ orders.
[26.07.2016 22:10:49] H|-LNS-Harmony: We are raising our shields for the time being.
[26.07.2016 22:11:10] H|-Iota-6: Roger, we are under jurisdiction of the Liberty Security Force now.
[26.07.2016 22:11:24] =LSF=Scorpion: Towers: Gunnery, get me firing solutions on "hostile" targets.

Eventually, Ms.Adenauer, the presumed director of the LSF agreed to stand down from her voided demands and claims and let the Liberty Navy carry on with their protocols. Although, the short state of peace did not last long as the LSF and the treacherous Naval ships opened fire on a few of our ships that were falling behind while the rest of the battlegroup were escorting the Harmony, catching us off guard, evidence follows:

[26.07.2016 22:50:19]=LSF=Freedom: Eva: Whilst Ich am loathe to make such a concession, you may take control of zhe Harmony, Admiral.

Drone footage

It is quite ironic and hypocritical coming out of you, Ms. Adenauer. Accusing the Liberty navy of being under foreign influence while yourself originate from the House of Rheinland. Not to mention, falsely employing the President's powers to achieve your own objectives, which in fact, are of no benefit to the Republic nor the people. Yet, you claim that the president is in desire to maintain what you call a near-constant war in Liberty as you abuse your powers in his name.

[26.07.2016 22:01:27] =LSF=Freedom: Eva: To the contrary. I carry President Powell's direct authority. Should you have an issue with my orders, feel free to
[26.07.2016 22:01:35] =LSF=Freedom: contact the Commander in Chief.
[26.07.2016 22:24:27] =LSF=Freedom: Eva: Ze orders of President Powell aren't good enough for you?

Your fragile lies are far from convincing, Ms. Adenauer. Your skills in the art of deceptions are little to none, I honestly have to question how you managed to become the director of Liberty's intelligence agency.

Esteemed citizens of Liberty, is this the Security Service that you deserve? Treacherous people only seeking to weaken Liberty and her people, they demand you to abandon your work, your positions in the law enforcement and the Navy. What would be their devilish intentions? Only to weaken the Navy, the military that protects the borders of Liberty, and fights against the Gallic forces that threaten us all. We all know who will benefited most by this chaos that they caused. Stay loyal people, an official statement by the Liberty Government is underway and will be announced soon.

For the people! For the Republic!

Signing out,
Admiral Natalie A. Reaser.
CO Nevada Battlegroup & Papa Squadron.

Oh boy,

I leave home for a few years and you people are already tearing it apart. Another internal conflict? Why am I not surprised?

It's quite simple, really. Don't expect the citizens to choose for you. Fight amongst yourselves, don't drag others in to your little power squabble. In the meantime, I'll wait until the Republic pulls on your leashes again and separates you with a new kennel. There's bigger things out there for you both to be worrying about, I'm sure. You know, there's that whole war thing going on. I hear it's a pretty big deal. Invading armies and such.

'Oh, but don't mind us, we're just killing eachother.'

You don't say? What a wonderful way to spend resources in these times. I'm actually almost proud at how far things have fallen down the stupidity hole.

I came here to laugh at you.

No, really, I can't believe it. You guys, in your trigger-happy antics, actually wound up shooting at each other. That's just precious right there, someone take a picture, we can put this in the scrapbook right up there with Battlecruiser to the Border and Warbird in the Scrapyard. Call it "The Liberty Navy Experience". Keep going, keep going, I've got 20 credits riding on a Freeport blowing up before this is over.

Fifteen years of my life, I've had to look over my shoulder, knowing that the Liberty Navy was jus' itchin' fo' the chance to ruin my life. I've had my ship confiscated, my cargo confiscated, I've been kicked out of three jobs by LPI goons. I've had gifts to my moms thrown out airlocks because LSF put me on a "security watchlist". Now you're at each other's throats, hurlin' the same kind of abuse you've been hurlin' at me and mine for half my adult life, an' you got the nerve t' come beggin' for help?

T' that, I only got one answer: where can I get some cheap popcorn, 'cause I am going to enjoy watchin' y'all beat the tar outta each other.

People of Liberty,

Captain Emilia Young speaking. As temporary commander of the Battlegroup Harmony I fully support this speach of Director Adenauer. Recent attacks and provocative actions of the Liberty Navy main forces cannot be tolerated. In the same time some facts are causing suspicions about the motives and actual goals of the Liberty Navy command in this conflict. I assume some of you know about the massive threat that our Republic have faced 23 years ago. It appers that history is repeating itself and I'm afraid that Liberty Navy high commad is possibly not belong to human race anymore. Of course now they are trying to clear the path and remove the powers that are capable to counter this threat. That's why they have picked Liberty Security Force and Battlegroup Harmony as their main targets. They also starting this internal conflict to make Liberty weaker and in the end will lead to a massive сatastrophe.

The Liberty Security Force is only power that stands against the Nomad Threat in Liberty today, that's why we are supporting it. From this moment, all vessels that belong to Battlegroup Harmony are not following the orders of Liberty Navy high command. Instead of it, forces of Battlegroup will work in a deep cooperation with the LSF Directorate and other loyal units of the Liberty Navy. Our Battlegroup is the first Navy unit that is making this hard. but necessary step, but I have a hope that others will folow our path.

All citizens of Liberty that are still loyal to the Republic shall arise and sabotage an opertations of Liberty Navy in a way they can. Don't panic and don't be afraid, we will find a way to deal with th traitors who happened to command the Navy today. We have an enemies at the gates, we have a lot of traitors in home, but we shall stand all together to protect our House and our Freedom. Non will be able to defeat free people who protecting their freedoms and the basic values of our suffering Republic. It's the only reason why am I assured in our decisive victory, people of Liberty won't let this plot in LN or Gallic invaders to take over.

For the Republic!
