| The chaotic situation in Omega-49 is climaxing harder than the Captain in his best performances. Miss Hale of our friendly little helper company Hot Gear has left the summit at the Tombstone Estate, hosted by Doctor Holliday, head of Med Force Enterprises. The Captain decided not to share her audio recording of the summit, however we've been authorized to report about the final state of the event before Miss Hale left.
According to the provided information, Bretonia stated the intention to increase their presence in the Omega-49 system and demanded the evacuation of all Corsairs from this system. They indicated their willingness to find a peaceful solution or an acceptable compromise that however would not be in favor of the non-bretonian parties. From their perspective, the dissolving of the Confederation of Freeports nullified the Treaty of Port Jackson, the bretonian colony on Gran Canaria as well as the critical condition of the Kingdom of Bretonia empower Bretonia with the force of Battlegroup Stirling to go this very bold step into the Omegas. While the Core showed colors and willingness to support Bretonia in this possible conflict scenario, the Order and pretty much all mentionworthy powers of the Omegas hinted the opposite. Including multiple representants of the Zoners, which however do not speak on behalf of the Zoner Communities.
The news of a possible NEMP-strike arranged by an independent Zoner entity have spread like a certain christmas picture of Jessebelle Fillian of the Core two years ago on the neural net and the entire system is alarmed. Captain Vertiga scheduled a retreat to the Omega-2 system the moment the conflict breaks loose. His statement: "We're allied with the Zoners, who provided us with all the logistical support we needed to escape from the Core and upgrade the Apahanta to the ship it is today. We are, however, also allied with Bretonia, who despite of being at the brink of losing the war with Gallia, still have provided shelter for us and a permanent free passage through bretonian space as well as access to all bretonian shipyard facilities. I can't tell which of these sides is a better investition in the future. Because of that, we will not side with either of them and observe from the distance, remaining neutral. Should the Corsairs and the Order decide to side with the Zoners, we'll not engage them as long as they don't engage us. With other words, nothing changes and we'll engage cloak the moment we see something suspicious on the scanners. Sorry, ladies, but if you were looking for battles, you chose the wrong ship to live on."
Let's hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. This might be the beginning of a war in heaven.
Post-Edit: We might need to review a few passages of that report, Sombs. You know what I mean.
