Right, someone faceless.

This is a war, one we declared quite some time ago.

The motivation for why is at this point a pointless focus for us to exchange words on. So I'm going to focus on what actually matters for the next few minutes. I'll admit I'm a little surprised that you're asking me to perform postmortems on LSF ships to get you answers.

It's a definite change in the approach I'm used to from your side of the fence.

It almost makes me wonder if the idea that one day we might be Republics that stand together. Stewards of the Independent Worlds to keep bickering Houses at bay, and to thwart the schemes of more insidious foes such as the Technocracy.

But until this becomes a more consistent trend, I'm going to view such a grand picture as being little more than a pipe dream.

What can I expect in terms of reasonable cooperation for now, agent?

"Liberty or death."
