[INCOMING TRANSMISSION]
[DECODING]

I do not run away from any decisions I've made in the past, Cmdr. Sgt. Major McGovern, that includes leaving that stranded civilian transport unprotected in Omega 41. You can't be on two places at the same time nor it is tactically smart enough to be stagnant, especially if you operate with small, agile unit.

I'm not "retired" from military; I was honorably discharged or whatever the hell that means any more. LAF command deemed that my methods were... unsound, just because they couldn't deal with awful truth written in my reports. That's why they evaluated me in their favor.

Back then I began my own war with my men, doing a lot of hit-and-run ground assault operations all over Edge Worlds and Border Worlds. I couldn't stand to just sit and blindly follow their orders, which is the same thing what happened with Core later.

As for recent incident, I have to intentions to be merciful to those who lie.

Have I accomplished anything? Apocalypse Assault Wing is a pretty large force now. We are getting stronger everyday as we are being supported by many influental supporters, which includes suppliers and new recruits as well. Also, construction of secret Apocalypse stronghold, battlestation "Lateralus", is going as planned. So, I'll let you make your own conclusions. It's not about me anymore, hardly ever was.

Perhaps they were right and you are right now. I have gone mad, but you can say that for whole Sirius as well. Just look around you.

Colonel Walter E. Kurtz, cmdr. of Rogue BHG BS "Apocalypse Now"
