To Order Primary Fleet capital assets

[Omicron]

Comm ID: The Order Overwatch

Overworked, perhaps sleep deprived admiral appears on the video feedback. Sitting in his temporary quarters among the Blood Dragons, he remains exceptionally calm and professional.

Admiral speaking, to all battlegroups currently in service. I am submitting new deployment orders to accommodate new situation at hand. Each ship is to regroup with respective flagship and assume specified positions. Admirals and captains will receive instructions of their new assignments. I am effectively recalling all warships currently deployed in the colonies short of Atum's own escort.

Taskforce Fedayeen
C.O. Adm. Grey
Destination: Omicron Epsilon (100)
New orders: regroup and await further instructions

I am sorry to take you from your usual duties but I need our best at this one. I put our best ship under your care, as well everything you are going to be needing in upcoming days. I will brief you concerning your real task personally.

Taskforce Atum
C.O. Cdr. "Valkyrie"
Destination: Regroup all assets at Inverness
New orders: Assault.

Begin the cleansing. I am afraid we do not have much time left.

Taskforce Osiris
C.O. Adm. Hunter
Destination: Omicron Zeta
New orders: reinforce the front lines

I need all the ships I need to keep our back secured if the worst happens. Your team composes of veterans who know very well what they are doing. Keep it cool and we will all get through this. You have majority of our fleet at your disposal.

Taskforce Apophis
C.O. Cpt. Calder
Destination: Omicron Delta
New orders: Rendezvous with support detachment at Taba and carry out Operation Spear

Calder, you have been drilling your crew for months since Command envisioned this mission just for you. You will be highly surgical force with no actual warship escort. Stick to the plan and lay down until the time is right.

Each officer will receive all intel necessary and/or battle plan for the next week. This should throw Core off for enough. Failure is not an option.

Admiral's own package to Fedayeen, read-only by Liara Grey, Overwatch encryption. The initial fragment reads...

I am pulling you out of the current assignment but not for a good reason. Before my departure to Kyoto, I have sent out scout party to Omicron Major and Iota. Out of what returned, we are receiving ominous signs from Daedalus 1. You need some backstory however, I owe you this enough. Massive energy surge could be felt across enormous distance - enough to be picked by our Onurises at safe distance. This happened only twice before in our recorded history: Nomad War of 800 A.S. and subsequent test-run among our attempts to understand Daam K'Vosh technology in detail in years after the conflict. I am not taking any chances - I am activating Prometheus contingency on Omicron Minor. You will be issued with enough firepower...
