Konbanwa, it has been a very long day for me, and for word to just get back to Kyoto about our honorable allies the Tenrai having suffered a tragedy at your hands, well frankly it brings me to anger. However it is not an admirals position to be angry, but to channel anger through the powers he possess to "quietly" solve our issues.
I am going to be simple, Auxesia has long been a subject of suspicion to us, especially from the Order, yet you continue to defend your word, which I find brave on the first front, but now I discover it all to be lies. Its not hard for word to get around after the Core's brave claim against their sheltering hand in the Omicrons, and from what I hear Auxesia was so kind as to assist. The Tenrai ship Fusou commed me not long ago after getting in range of Kyoto's signals after being heavily damaged in Omicron Delta and limping home afterwords, able to get away but stopped by a "stray" disruptor fired from the Eidolon Wraith.
This is the most unacceptable display I have witnessed to date from a group who wanted to establish an alliance, now I know you only wanted to lie and steal from us in the end. There will be no defending yourself, there will be no coming back from this final nail you have driven onto your cross. From this moment forward, all Dragon vessels are to engage you and your battlegroup on the spot. Be wary in Kusari Auxesia, for the Dragons will now bare their teeth upon you.
Subject: An explanation of the days events Kaito Fujimoto,
I am the Curator of Battlegroup Auxesia, and I did not expect to hear from you today. Greetings, and while you may not agree, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
I was present at the battle that erupted today in Omicron Delta, and as I have told the Confederation of Freeport's, our only interest in the conflict was due to the Order's hostile behavior towards us for attempting to make contact and rectify our past actions. This, as you know considering our independence and size, left us in an obviously losing state, in which the Core offered monetary compensation to aid in fighting the Order. Such compensation is a must to maintain our efforts, and while I or others within Auxesia have no love for the Core, the Order have proven themselves unwilling to attempt talks. As the battle began well outside of range of the Freeport, it seems a Zoner colony ship had decided to join the Order's efforts, and fired every battery it could upon my vessel, the Cincinnati. This was unexpected, and while it was unfortunate, we retaliated according to the scenario.
I don't condone the actions of the Core, or praise them for it, for once the Order forces were in retreat, we withdrew. The Core then proceeded to open fire upon a Zoner Carrier, and then the Freeport. At this time, the Eidolon Wraith, Cincinnati, and Guardian Keating returned to a holding pattern out of range of the Core forces, when we detected an unusual sight. A Blood Dragon Togo-Class Battleship appeared on Scanners, and the Core immediately gave chase. Before we could approach and examine the vessel, a Core Manta had kept it disrupted. We were roughly eight (8.0) kilometers from the vessel when the Core had intercepted it, Guardian Keating had gone to investigate, and had not depleted any disruption rounds, thus it is impossible for any of our munitions to have reached the vessel.
Your accusations appear to be based on false information in a rather confused situation. Whether or not you take my word for it is another story, but I can assure you that we have not opened fire on any Blood Dragon vessel.
I don't know who you are, or why you're intruding into a communication I'd rather keep between myself and an oddly shy Sapphire Raven. Even if evidence has not been presented to Auxesia directly firing their gunners at a Dragon vessel, we DO have proof you Cruise-disrupted a Tenrai vessel attempting to flee the skirmish, allowing Core ships to move in for the helpless ship. What has been done will not be tolerated, you are in direct correlation to the loss of many lives, and whether or not Auxesia is already directly hostile to the Core they will now be shoot on sight for the Dragons along with Auxesia's quote unquote enemies, the Core. There is no redeeming yourself, the relations have been degrading from the moment the Order presented evidence of Auxesia treating the Omicrons like a trampling ground for whatever they choose. I will re-iterate, there is no coming back, Auxesia is now a lost cause for the Dragons, consider it to stay that way.
I am the Hand of the Keeper, the one responsible for maintaining harmony within our fleet, coordinating our forces, and the personal guard to the Keeper herself. My name is irrelevant, and the Keeper is unavailable.
It's a shame that you have seen fit to declare us hostile, but I suppose based on your evidence that the outcome was unavoidable. Whether or not this path you have chosen changes, will not be for me to sway, but know this: We will not attack, without reason. Judging from your less than formal approach to meeting someone new, it's obvious you had already made up your mind before you even thought of making contact. I can't push this matter any further.
You seem to think I come into this matter unprepared, but rest assured it is my job as an admiral to make an informed decision. I have contacted numerous parties, and encountered Auxesia flying through Kusari space on many occasions. All of it stacks up, I have i fact spoken with your leader: <<EMBEDDED DATA>>, I have in fact inquired about Auxesia: <<EMBEDDED DATA>>. Do not dare say I blunder into this, consider this my final input on the matter as well, and know the Dragons will fight just as furiously as you can retaliate. For in the end it does not matter who stands over their competitor, but who has the better weapon to finish the job.
