We are in dire straights here, and we must rally all our allies. The Kingdom of Bretonia and the Independent Miners Guild are about to enter war with each other over their conquest of Aland shipyard, and we require your help. You're well familiar with our operations in Bretonia, South Shields in Newcastle, Cardiff in Cambridge, and of course the Hood in Dublin.
We will attempt to maneuver the Hood deeper into the asteroid field, away from the racing rings. Its engines aren't really operational, but we hope to finish the towing before the actual declaration of hostilities. As for South Shields, the resistance of Belfast was legendary. We hope to repeat that, except that this time the Gallic Crown will assist us against the Bretonian assault.
Let it be known that any Molly fighting the Bretonian crown will henceforth be fighting openly alongside the Guild, and will be welcomed on our stations with open arms. Any forces you can spare to defend the actual shipyard in Omega-3 will be warmly welcomed.
'What is this? Bretonia has taken Aland from you? I can't tell y what the Republic of Dublin would be doin' me bein' a lackey and all, but oi will be sure t'tell me superiors about this.
Did Bretonia really take Aland? Oi be most concerned if'n they did as we rely on yous all t'get our supplies and all.
Oy's Blodwyn O'Driscoll un' be a representative o' deh Republic o' Dublin.
Well, it seems dhat deh Kingdom o' Bretonai's Greed knows nae bound... But it was predictable, t'allus been deh case, un' will probably be in deh future. Cannae say, ye ain't been warned 'bout it.
Neverdehless, we will nae stand still, whoile aour friends o' deh Guild are unner attacks frem deh Bretonia Tyranny. First, 'cause we, Mollys, leave behind aour friends tae doye. Un' cause we, deh free people o' Dublin, do value Freedom against Tyranny.
When it comes tae strategy, oy dun nae know if we will be able tae defend all o' yer station. Fer exemple , oy dunno oif we'd able tae defend both Cardiff un' Alland widh deh forces o' Lisburn.
Speakin' o' deh Hood, last we visit deh ol' bazar, dere were nae functional engoines.Howe'er oy tink deh Hood will be safe, as deh Brets left Dublin in we now control almost all deh system widh deh Bulk o' aour forces.
Oy would advoise nae to move oif it can toward deh nearboy asteroïd field, as some Gallic forces are now hoidin' in dere, un' we wouldnae want aour forces tae clash widh'em simply tae buoy sum supplies at deh floatin' market.
Speakin' of gauls, dun expect oos tae refrain frem foirin at'em... Deh attack on Belfast is quoite vivid in aour moind, un' we won't forgive'em.
We will also reach aour allies dhat would be willin' tae help ye defend yersel' 'gainst deh barbarians, oy we could set up a general plan.
Tank ye fer listenin'

Thank you for your support, as I'm aware Molly vessels have already fought alongside us against the Bretonian assault.
Your diplomacy with the Gallic Crown is your own, of course we now find ourselves working more closely with them as a result of us fighting the same enemy, but we don't expect you to adjust your diplomacy for our sake.
We have are now developing a specific battle strategy together with our mutual allies, the Red Hessian Army. They will need a diversionary attack, and we believe targeting Cardiff would be viable for this purpose.
We abandoned the station as the conflict was breaking out, and the Bretonian Crown has occupied it, but they may still take the bait if we attack it with force, especially considering our successes so far in defending Aland. They may assume we are becoming overconfident, and are seriously attempting to retake the station, or at the very least are launching a serious counteroffensive in Cambridge system.
We will launch low scale attacks against Cardiff, attacks which are likely to be based from Lisburn, and we will be grateful for any assistance the Mollys can spare.
Thank you again for your assistance, without friends like you the Guild would not be able to survive this situation.
Aye aye, tis true dhat deh Republic's forces, alreaday fought alongsoide yers, un' odhers tae defend Aland frem deh invaders.Un' t'was an honnor fer ous tae fullfill aour commitment.
Howe'er, we'd loike tae point aout, dhat some problems occured as deh station owned boyed ye, started at some point tae foire on aour vessels. We would derefore ask fer a proper clearance tae Falster Station , so it wouldnae happen again.
Naow tae deh subject ye brought : deh Republic will allow yer forces tae launch attacks frem Lisburn Rock frem naow. Un' we's currently tinkin' 'bout yer plan o' fake attacks on Cardiff, but we would loike tae know more 'bout it afore we'd commit aour forces dere. Remember dhat deh forces stationed at Lisburn will probably nae be able tae bodh launch attacks on Cardiff un' defend Aland properly.
Lastly, it appears dhat widh an illegal station in deh Republic's space, un' we came tae know dhat dhis station was owned boye sum IMG rogue members. We 'd loike tae convince'em tae aboide boye deh Republic's law o' tae make'em leave. O' course, dhis be a minor madder compared tae all o' what be happenin' nowadays, but tis still a breach in deh Republic's security fer naow, un' cannae allow tae situation tae continue.

We contact ye t'day, as it appears dhat dhe Brets didn't bother defending Cardiff properly, after yer people left deh place.
Un' we do tink it would be a shame tae leave all dhoses machineries, equipments un' all, at deh hands of deh Bretonian Crown, or dheir BMM lackeys.
Fer , indeed, dhoses smelters, blast furnaces, among others, would be at bedder use in aour own hands.
So, deh Republic o' Dublin be considering launchin' an attack on Cardiff to soize deh heavy machinery. As we do consider dhoses tae be still yer property, we would loike tae know if ye'd consent oos to get dheses.
Moreover, un' if ye do answer positively tae dhis previous request, we'd loike tae get any plan of the station, floors, ventilation, and air ducts.
Widh deh Norfolk fleet stucked near Aland after the attack, we do believe such operation would be easely achieved without having tae fear a massive conter attack.
Also, it moight entice deh Norfolk fleet tae retreat tae Cambridge, leaving Aland free tae be taken back. Let's consider it as a fork attack radher dhan deh divert attack we talk about earlier.
So we's awaitin' fer yer answer.

Our situation has changed for the worse since our last exchange, but you obviously know all about that. We've been preparing for a possible Cambridge attack for some time now, and I agree with your plan. Although I doubt we could take and hold Cardiff, it's one of few targets that currently present themselves to counterattack. We will send a strike force from the Omegas to assist, while another portion of battlegroup Comoros should probe Omega-3 and Aland for weakness, although we wouldn't have the forces to commit to two major attacks at once.
We have another tactical request, too: It will be important to maintain some level of connectivity between our northern and southern forces, and the route with the lowest level of Bretonian control goes through Dublin. I will have scouts dispatched from the Hood, and I ask you to do the same from your own holdings.
We must analyze the Bretonian fleet presence in the system and the defensive situation of Graves, to ensure the security of our route and to probe for another possible avenue for counterattack.
Well, deh assault on Caerdydd was successfull, un' we do tank ye fer deh help. Oy know, dhis doesnae payback deh loss o' Anland tae deh Imperialists hands, but at least, dey dinnae get dhat aswell. Oy also gotta inform ye , dhat unfortunatly we had tae blow up deh station after rippin' it off its machoinery. Ye were roight, we couldnae hold it widh deh Bret forces o' Cambroidge un' deh possoible fall back o' deh Norfolk Fleet. Oy's sorry fer dhat.
Naow, oy guess we'll have tae wait un' see oif an opportunity tae retake Aland shows up.
When it comes tae Dublin, rest assured dhat since deh departure o' deh Essex Fleet, aour forces hold deh majority o' deh system, un' aour own fleet be naow stationed dere. Graves be naow deh only pocket o' Bretonian assets left in bonny ol' Dub'.
Howe'er, we ain't shure, o' what ye's callin' soudhern un' northern tinguies. Could ye enloighten oos a wee bit ?
