SUBJECT: ZONE 21 INCIDENT
ENCRYPTION: High
PRIORITY: High

Captain Rachel Baker here, Liberty Navy Primary Fleet, 237th Strike Flotilla.


Not long ago, we, that is, my patrol, in the field, received a direct order from Secretary of Defense Robert McKay, that we were to follow at all costs. We were also to relay that order to any and all Liberty Security Forces vessels in the area, which we did. That order, was to cease and desist all operations geared toward the destruction of Melbourne Station in Zone 21. The order was given to us relay, in an attempt to avoid any action until an official statement had been made personally and publicly by the Secretary himself.

However, your agents, or shall we say, the apparently synthetic commander of the Siege Cruiser Lake Clark, seemed unable to comprehend that it was not the Navy, giving them this order, it was the Secretary of Defense who issued it, we merely were tasked with relaying it.

The point is, Your people didn't listen, and they even engaged and destroyed a Secondary Fleet Transport ship in the vicinity of Melbourne.

Now, apparently this Cruiser of yours, the Lake Clark, was under the complete control of an AI system known as AVIOS...whatever it is, I've been asked to tell you that the Secretary of Defense wants it removed from all Security Forces ships, immediately, due to it's Rogue behavior and it's issues following simple orders from a higher authority, and of course, due to the fact, that it is responsible for the destruction of a Naval vessel, and the attempted destruction of a Reserve Forces facility that the Secretary of Defense had yet to make a ruling on, aside from leaving it be.

I want answers regarding why the LSF would disobey an order from the Secretary of Defense himself, that the order came from a Naval officer's mouth (Which was the reasoning your agents in the field gave) is no excuse. I also want answers as to why the LSF would destroy a Naval -TRANSPORT- ship, with a Siege Cruiser.


Now, I assure you, Or at least I've been told, that an official statement from the Secretary of Defense regarding that base, and this incident, WILL follow. You people had best have your act together by then. In the mean time, teach your men some respect, or at least some common sense. Disobeying an order issued by the Secretary of Defense, because it came from a Naval officer's mouth...is just...My God, it's one of the stupidest reasons for not doing something, that I've ever heard. Especially when our branches are supposed to be cooperating!

Captain Rachel A. Baker, Out.
