Public Broadcast to all Zoners and Residents of Gran Canaria

INCOMING BROADCAST

Zoners and residents of planet Gran Canaria,

My name is Joshua Walker, I'm an independent Zoner and have been working as an escort pilot in the Omegas for the past decade. I have an important announcement that will likely change our future.

Long have we tolerated oppression by all our neighbors as they please, claiming and stealing our land for no reason other than conquest. If it's not Outcasts, Corsairs, Core or anyone else, it's the Kingdom of Bretonia. Time has come that we start fighting back, and we'll start with a bang. Inside my cargo hold I have a very specific weapon I'm sure some of you are familiar with - a Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse bomb. I went through hell to get this, but I'm confident it'll do as the person providing the weapon described - sending a very strong message.

We could to an extent tolerate the bombing of Freeport 11. As much as I think the Core should've suffered harsher consequences, our friends in charge of negotiations on that front managed to cool the relations with both Core and Order and maintain a neutral status. Even though the situation is unstable we're talking about a station with a few hundred people at worst. In Omega-49 however it's an entire planet at stake.

Target is the aggressive battleship that is currently trespassing in Omega-49, Battleship Stirling, which is threatening our integrity and freedom. The bomb is going to fire in 72 hours after displaying this message. It cannot be stopped, it will not be delayed. Hard times require hard choices. I am not pleased that we am put between a rock and a hard place when it comes to this crisis in particular, but we're not going to have another Freeport 11 by letting others dictate our lives and lives of all citizens on Gran Canaria. Their safety comes above all else.

To a stronger future, together.
