Doctor,
My men on the frontlines have reported your presence in the situation unfolding in Omega-3. We have a task for you that would be of invaluable service to us and the men and women on the front lines. It would have to lead with the Angurvadal deploying to Fólkvangr near Ronneburg. We have a war asset there heavily damaged in need of both repairs and protection. Once you've arrived on site you will be forwarded the details.
Signed, Generalmajor

Generalmajor,
Once we found out that Bretonian assets were moving in mass around Freeport 1, as well as the Army moving equally in the surrounding area, we had already started our vessel's movement. We've been waiting in the Omega-5 system for some time, as Corsair wreckage makes for good target practice in the Hammen Hole. We'll move into your assigned position immediately. We will inform you when we're in position immediately on arrival.
Best of luck to you all,
Dr. James Erzie

Generalmajor,
We have just arrived in position as requested, marking this as the first sortie of the Angurvadal that is not a training mission. We're fully stocked and our facilities are fully operational, with crews ready to meet your requests at our best capabilities. We have quarantined lab space that can easily be converted to hospital quarters to treat any wounded, and our on-board smelter can be used to reforge hull panels to facilitate repairs. Additionally, our forward laser may be focused to handle exterior welding after a brief calibration. The gimbal mount on the refractor will allow us some range of motion while in this minimalist mode, which was initially installed for mining. We should also be able to use our tractor beams to position panels where they need to be for aforementioned field repair.
As for protection - should Bretonians come forth, the best we can do is give you an early warning, as we cannot threaten our diplomacy with them as our supply lines travel through their space; supply lines we may be able to use for supplying the Army should our status remain intact. Beyond that, we're full on ammunition and fuel, so any Corsair opposition will be dispatched without remorse. Our minimal vessel size is our biggest advantage here, as the field is dense, and the Hammen Hole may be an ample place to lose any fool who believes they can weather extremely hazardous environments they're not accustomed to - though you have probably already considered this tactical advantage and strategy. Just tell us our role in the mix - we're ready and waiting.
Awaiting your orders,
Dr. James Erzie

Doctor,
The Volksrevolution appreciates your intervention in this hour, Doctor. Should the IRG| or any other logistics vessels working with you be willing to aid in the effort to repair the damage done to the Kassel. This is the distress call currently being sent to our allies, use discretion, as I have no doubt the SIS and other elements working against us will be looking for anyone moving supplies.

Generalmajor,
We've obtained a visual on the Kassel - and we've plotted course to assist. I highly recommend you get some mining teams out here if you plan to move through the asteroid field fast enough to avoid taking a few strikes from the Bretonians. I have no doubt that you're already mobilized interceptors to run interference, but we will start where we can to start clearing a path for the Kassel. We will stay just ahead of the vessel and break larger asteroids with the Angurvadal's forward mining array, hopefully smashing things into small enough pieces to pull through at low speeds, but we could do a lot more with more personnel.
We will continue to report to you here, as well as in the other channel to work with the crews present as required, otherwise we will simply use local comm channels. While supplying the vessel would not be entirely impossible from Bretonia or Rheinland, it's far too high a risk for us to undergo directly with watching eyes. Ingenuus is not on good enough terms with the Corsairs to move supplies to Omega-5 from the deeper Omegas - we're simply cut off. We can, however move supplies to Viernheim Base or Wolfsburg Shipyard, but I doubt that would be of much use to you. Moving supplies from Rheinland may be possible, moving from Omega-7, and onward into Omega-5. There are some environmental hazards on that path, but nothing we can't avoid, it would simply slow us down just a small bit. We will do what we can with the auxiliary teams we can assign to the job.
I'm assigning the Itherael to standby near the Gubenfelde Cloud in Omega-7 for the time being. Hessians or otherwise looking for haven or relief from the immediate conflict should have a clear way to make it there for respite, though we cannot support your entire group, we could service a dozen ships at a time, as well as relieve a few hundred personnel for food rations, rest, and minor medical attention. We're doing the best we can here.
Best of luck,
Dr. James Erzie
