Recording.

After both sides were weakened during the conflict at Freeport 11, the Nomads came to strike those left standing. This would be the end of a war in the Omicrons- Whoever is left would be vulnerable. Yet the Core cannot be permitted to gain more footing.

As I've seen, the Core is somewhat divided. Not all of them are so blood thirsty as the likes of that empress character, and are feeling the pain of loss just as much. But it seems that those in positions of leadership are in disagreement with the more sensible of them, sadly.

Mister Moebus' words are wise. Should the Core not forfeit, we should not grant them such an easy victory. If we cannot reclaim Freeport 11, it should be destroyed, and better yet with as many Core thugs aboard as possible.
We can't fight a war alone, but perhaps we don't need to. We have allies, and this act will undoubtedly gain some sympathy at least.
And, if we can gain support from those within the Core who do not agree with their leaders, it may cause a divide within their ranks.

I'm not so keen on politics, but I believe this is a conflict we cannot forfeit. The Core will only keep pushing if we give in.

If this comes to war, all of us must, above all, do our part to defend the innocent.
