"After receiving a distress call from a prototype T.A.L.O.S. controlled Gunboat that was returning from assignment it was faced with three Corsair Gunboats which proceeded to tear it apart without mercy or provokation, in it's weakened state from previous foes the ship was disabled and the muppets managed to escape to Omega-3...For a time.
Three of our finest Warships pursued them to Omega-3 and with aid from the Reaver Mercenary Company they were all eliminated in payment for the disabled ship. Let this be a lesson to the Corsairs that we do not take kindly to cowardly attacks on our ships returning home. Commissar-Colonel Rhade proved an able Battleship Commander during this operation and I salute him for his determination to destroy those who seek our destruction.
Also Comrade Bernard showed no fear in the face of the enemy, to him I take off my cap in respect, for he hunted those cowards down and helped put them down like the animals they are.
This also marks my official return to the Coalition's Capital Fleet as a Destroyer Captain, as proven in this engagement I have not lost my touch while I was indisposed and will not yield to enemy aggression.

Priviet.
I am pleased to report on behalf of Major Wolfe, the success of an Anti-Bretonian operation in Omega-3, in conjunction with the Molly Republic.
Major Wolfe reports a huge success in destroying a large number of Bretonia Snubcraft in the face of superior forces. We even managed to exterminate their commander, who happened to be one of those animal-hybrids we keep hearing about. Rodents. Regardless, full victory, with no Coalition forces lost.
Next up, the recent events already reported by Captain Warner. You are all, no doubt aware of our philosophy when it comes to revenge. No matter how impractical or militarily unfeasible it is, we always get it..
This time is no different, losing one of the prototype T.A.L.O.S Storms, to their three Imperators. Revenge is a dish best served with excessive amounts of firepower, and said firepower was delivered.

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][color=#FFFF00]I bring disturbing news from the front lines.
[color=#FFFF00]During my time leading the talks between the IMG and Mollys, I had a valuable insight into how difficult our struggles will be. No sooner had we made progress in our talks - The BAF encroached on Dublin once more.
Major Wolfe had been tasked with organising our forces in Dublin, however last night he was killed while defending the CPW-Xi'an against a horde of Bretonian Bombers.
This is a setback, however one we can recover from. Effective immediatley, Commissar-Colonel Rhade will be tasked with the Dublin campaign onboard the CPW-Tsiolovsky.
With him, we will also be dispatching a further two wings of fighters and bombers. Along with transports to resupply your ships comrades.
May I remind you all of the serious nature of Dublin and the role it plays in defending our home system from attack.
Do not fail the Coalition Comrade Colonel. Enjoy your time back in the field, you have earned it.

Comrades.
It is indeed a set-back to of lost Major Wolfe. We should all rejoice, however, that his wounds were at his front, and not at his back. He died fighting for what he believed in.
That said, as you already know, with the unfortunate death of Wolfe, I will be resuming my operations in the field. Something that I had looked forward to returning to for a while now.
Together, we will crush our enemies to a pulp, and send them back to their loved ones in juice boxes.

[color=#FFFFFF]Comrades,
I decided to patrol the Dublin system in order to destroy some of our enemies and it took me some time untill I found some of our friends from the BAF, of course near Essex. A patrol of three Templars, two of them were some of the higher ranks I think. They didn't hesitate to shoot at me and I was surprised that they didn't outnumber me, but this should change soon enough.
The Gaians were nearby and assisted me and the battle turned into a big one, in which they received a lot of reinforcements, including caps. Our side only received help from Junior Lieutenant Francis and later Leutenant Drsnovova. Francis got shot down after some time, he did good for the first time in the Insurgent.
We managed to take out five enemies, one Heavy Fighter and the rest Templars and we only lost one ship as mentioned before.

Commandant, oh hello, Commandant. You must understand, we of the Commissariat have eyes and ears in places you wouldn't even dream of them being in. Ponder that when you're in the bathroom next time. Not a fact, but just saying...
Anyways, I was a little bit concerned when one of your transmissions contained a very alarming little bit of information. So, please enlighten me about the Coalition and its ideals of money. To be honest, money sickens me. It sickens the Great Premier. Above all else, it sickens the Coalition. Where did you get money? Where was such a useless commodity attained? And under what delusion is it that we have to bribe our own workers for upgrades to our ships?
Prove me wrong, Commandant. We've lost so many good men of your position in the past. Do be that combo breaker.
Expecting a quick reply,
Love,
Your old friend Viatcheslav

Salud, Comradas!
I have long been proud of each of you, mi hermanos, mi revolutionary Comradas!
You have shaken off the shackles of the Volkhan, and risen to a greater pinnacle of glory for the Coalition. This is an astounding feat, mi amigos. And, again, I am proud of each of you.
I am assuming a new position as the head of the SCRA War Academy on Volgograd, where I will be responsible for the next generation of warship commanders, teaching them to be Coyotes the way I taught each of you.
As is my prerogative, I am promoting Rhade to the rank of Full General, and appointing him Commander of the Expeditionary Fleets, and placing him in command of our Battle fleet. The Expeditionary force that I once led, is now in the hands of a new Coyote.
Mi hermanos, let us here it for the new El Coyote!
To our victory, mi comradas!
For the Revolucion, for Katz!

He is truly a perfect fit for a General's position. Excellent work General.

Well Mr Blackblood, I am honestly surprised that you only mention now that I am being watched. I have known this for some time. The distribution of wealth came into the equation following our successful negotiations at obtaining Molly gold. It was a.. trial system.. and is under review.
As for you. Do not think that I have not been watching you General. So far, your only documented triumph has been the beheading of the Volkhan. I see no other notable achievements on the front lines. However you seem to have a knack for.. how to put this.. inspiring the men.
You are being reassigned General. I cannot stick you on the front line due to the lack of battle experience, however I can promote you to Head Commissar. I want you to lead the Commissars in finding the weak roots in my fighter corps. I will sign an executive order giving you complete autonomy in this regard and you will answer to me only.
Prove to me that there is another way to inspire victory General.

Dearest General *coughs* Blackbrood... Flood.... Rudd? Never mind I am sure you have a serial number stamped on your rear end somewhere. Right above the "Made in Kusari" stamp.
Any ways, I am sure that congratulations are in order... for something... not that it has actually been news worthy, or even that memorable. But I am sure that will change now that you are in charge of motivating the muppet babies and morons that compromise the fighter corps... fighter... ha, that would imply they actually could do more than writhe around in agony shot a few dozen times by their own comrades.
For the love of all things Red, point them at the enemy next time, and not at each other?
Now, you amazing pile of recycled cans of dog food, slapped together with duct tape and the odd transister... the last great speach you delivered ran something to the effect of "Danger-Danger Will Robinson," while you flailed your arms around in a desperate attempt to fend some creepy old man off of a pre-teen boy woefully unsupervised by his moron parents... oh wait that was an old Television show... I guess I haven't seen a motivational speech out of you at all then.
You've been placed in a trusted position, one that answers to the Premier's office itself. One that, were you to balls up, I am sure will be more than sufficient for me to stuff you into a little blue box and leave you on the curb for the next junker pick up.
Catch my drift?
Make certain you don't confuse the Communist manifesto for a book of Sudoku, and send our men out with the wonderful motivation that 4+4 = 8, that kind of complicated maths is truly beyond them... would be better if we'd actually employed some of old Commissar Whack-a-doodle's Primusian Monkeys... least they can add.

Mendel, it's almost like you adore me in some way. I've never seen something that insulting. Might as well just ask me to a public execution and then gloat about how many people we've had put to death for being inbred cowardly bags of flesh. Alas, I need to find time on my busy schedule for that. Thank you for the confidence in me.
DIRECT MESSAGE TO COMMANDANTChun Ki Ling
Commandant, you are too kind, but I most respectfully decline. There are far more able individuals who can undertake such a role, but I do have a job in mind that is similar.
What if I undertook the role of your personal Commissar? Think of it; a man who has the most military power beneath only the ruling of the Premier and with a machine that feels nothing towards human beings instilling terror into those who forget exactly what they signed up for.
An inquisitorial commissar of a sort. I do so love inquisitions. Asking impossible questions and getting the satisfaction of letting those know who is in charge and then swiftly execute them for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. You want a better combat record, Commandant? You want people to do their jobs? With something such as me at your side, I can assure you that such matters can be reality.
I look forward to your favorable reply.
For my Ikon; the True Ikons of Ikons.
