____ MESSAGE
Pike checking in.
Reporting the arrival of another Order Capital ship in to operational territory. This time, a Geb-class Assault Carrier. The Fedayeen. That makes four. The Oathkeeper, Amenhotep, Razgriz, and now this. We're outnumbered in that class. The Basilisk wing has returned to the fleet after an intimidation session and brief scan of the Carrier vessel. Per our directive and out of respect of allied forces - The Crayterians, we vacated the region once asked, yet that didn't stop the Order from dispatching an Interceptor to pursue Basilisk three.
Requesting an update to standing orders in regards to the high level of hostile warships in the region. It's unknown at this time if more vessels are inbound from the Order, or if this is it. Basilisks are locked and loaded in case of aggression. Standing order of self-defense is still in effect.
[Pike] A/)-Basilisk.4: A carrier.
[Schmidt] A/)-Basilisk.1: Interesting.
Order|CV-Fedayeen: Hostile contacts on radar.
[Pike] A/)-Basilisk.4: Relax.
Order|CV-Fedayeen: If you follow or open fire, we will answer in kindness.
CR|-WO.O`connor: Relax, they are friendly
[Pike] A/)-Basilisk.4: We've already spoken to Hunter. Out of respect for the situation and the Crayterians, we've been helping.
Order|CV-Fedayeen: Doubtful. They intercepted and engaged our last mission in the area.
[Khan] A/)-Basilisk.3: This is callsign Zodiac, Basilisk wing of the Stinging Sixth, holding position, Alpha leader.
Order|CV-Fedayeen: Hunter may "trust" you, however 1st Battlegroup shall not. I request that you keep distance.
[Pike] A/)-Basilisk.4: Your last mission ended in your escorts firing on our forces. We'll guide you out of the cloud due to recent incursions -
[Pike] A/)-Basilisk.4: By infestees.
[Pike] A/)-Basilisk.4: Lot's of Scorpion-class gunships in the area. So be careful.
Order|CV-Fedayeen: This is not negotiable. Stand off and keep your distance.
[Khan] A/)-Basilisk.3: Roger Alpha One, we're talking up escort positions around the CV 'Fedayeen'.
[Scmidt] A/)-Basilisk.1: Roger, Alpha One.
CR|-WO.O`connor: no need for that
[Schmidt]A/)-Basilisk.1: Escorting Fedayeen.
CR|-WO.O`connor: stay on distance freelancers
[Pike] A/)-Basilisk.4: You're right. It isn't negotiable. We're not risking losing more people to another assault. We're going as far as the edge of -
[Pike] A/)-Basilisk.4: The barrier.
Order|CV-Fedayeen: Crayterian Military, we cannot abide escort of those wretched traitors. Request them to not pursuit us.
[Pike] A/)-Basilisk.4: We'll limit ourselves to five clicks.
CR|-Viper.VII: Auxesians, please stand down from the escort.
CR|-Viper.VII: It is not needed.
[Khan] A/)-Basilisk.3: Wilco. This is Alpha Three, moving out to hold position. Five kilometres around the 'Fedayeen'.
[Pike] A/)-Basilisk.4: As you wish, Crayterians.
[Pike] A/)-Basilisk.1: Alpha One, keeping distance.
Order|CV-Fedayeen: Basisilk, you are being tracked by our gun batteries. Maintain your distance.
CR|-Viper.VII: The escort is not needed. As you can see we have a good enough wing to help with the escort.
[Pike] Order|CV-Fedayeen: Engaging cruise engines... do not follow us.
[Pike] A/)-Basilisk.4: Basilisks, regroup and RTB. If this goes to hell, it's on them.
[Schmidt]A/)-Basilisk.1: Roger.
[Khan] A/)-Basilisk.3: Roger wilco.
[Khan] A/)-Basilisk.3: This is Alpha three, we have an interceptor on a closing vector.
[Khan] A/)-Basilisk.3: Keep situational readiness - over.
[Pike] A/)-Basilisk.4: We're leaving. Stop loitering.
[Khan]A/)-Basilisk.3: Alpha three here, Overwatch interceptor is on a holding vector on my six o'clock, please advise.
[Khan] A/)-Basilisk.3: On your six, Alpha One and Four.
[Schmidt] A/)-Basilisk.1: Alpha One, position picked.
