I considered it, Rattlesnake.
But the problem there is that slog is something only the average joe would be into under the duress of a graveyard shift at the boron mines. Even my tolerance of cardamine extends only insofar as its utility as a weapon to hurt the elite of House Liberty is concerned.
Slog does the opposite.
It hurts the people we are sworn to emancipate.
So there can be no other policy other than a policy of zero-tolerance.

Op complete.
We have a rough tally of how many hulks are floating around as burning wrecks in Texas and California. Our wide interdiction net was effective but it was impossible to exert any form of total blockade on the new drug trade, some of it obviously spilled through the cracks. And my sources are yet to confirm if the Navy and LPI were anywhere near as effective as we were.
Still, this was good work on such short notice and with minimal prep-time. The surge is over, the rush is dead, you can all return to your normal duties.

History just keeps on giving.
I already knew the Hackers were good for nothing and that their supposedly ironclad word is a politician's promise. After all, we remember Hesperia.
But now their ambition outstrips them to our eventual detriment.
They did something. We aren't sure what they've done in the absence of reliable information, but whatever it was, it was enough to prompt two apparent taskforces of both House Liberty and Kusari to pursue them into Ontario and freely engage them there.
Pilots from Ramsey's rapid response wings that were on standby at the time obviously responded to this unprecedented incursion. From reports I have right now, one of those pilots is KIA and two are wounded. As infuriated as that makes me, given the fact that it was Hackers that shot those ships down after they engaged House forces, is the fact that this isn't the end of the damage that they've done.
The LSF is already up our exhaust pipes over Sudbury. And now, with whatever this was, we have to be prepared for an inevitable escalation.
One I'm sure our wayward technical support department will do little to offset.
With that in mind, your orders are this - full combat readiness on the Ontario front at all times. No exceptions. We can't afford to let Liberty take control of Sudbury.
Our country and the millions who will one day call it their home are counting on us.

Commander,
I was alerted to a possible intrusion by elements belonging to the Crayter Republic, which has a history of cooperating with opponents of the Liberty Free Republic. Sure enough, my scanners found two ships, one gunboat and one fighter wandering around the Sudbury anomaly claiming to be on a "scientific expedition". They surely made a big mistake coming here, so I had to deal with them in my own hands.
Needless to say, I took care of them aboard the Crimson Biter. Best to keep rabid dogs away from people, they say. Who knows if they are buddying up with the LSF so they can feel safe projecting their "power"?
I am ready to defend Ontario with my own life from all the problems creeping closer to us. They can taste my own fangs.

[17.01.2025 22:28:22] =CR=Vagabond: Xeno pilot, this disturbing anomaly should be of great import to your people as well. We research for our collective safety

Operation started with deployment of "Sonoran" from Ouray Base to provide logistics to interception in Galileo. Barge with 30000 tons Artifacts was interdicted by "Deadmeat", logistics was provided to liberate 3600 tons as contribution to the LFR. During the interdiction a priority call for interdiction was made, with haste we offloaded the cargo to aligned brokers at Fontana Freeport. Interdiction sortie deployed in fighter and moved to join without incident. While other elements were stretching the dragnet I ended up running into the intended interdiction target, 3x Gaians, 2 in Rheinland frigates and 1 Serenity. Under orders from flight commander, tailed the convoy to its destination at safe distance, then RTB to Ramsey.

Yesterday at 22:44:20 UTC I came across a Barge-class mobile factory hauling thirty thousand crates of artifacts in Galileo, headed to Liberty. Sonoran responded my call and came shortly after to confiscate as much of it as the ship could carry and then I escorted them to Fontana. I'll attach the radio comms on this transmission.
