HIS WATCHFUL EYE
Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army
Революционная Армия Коалиции Сириуса
[color=#FFFF00]Last night saw a beautiful strike take place upon the Corsair Empire. However not only that, we were able to eradicate a couple of other threats as well.
A bounty hunter Destroyer, Corsair Cruiser, gunboat and Titan all felt our wrath and on our return to home space, two pirates were all obliterated,
My praise to Comrade Julio Quintetillia for his excellent shooting.
What's more, no comrades were lost in the assault and we were able to obliterate these forces with just four Revolution bombers.
[color=#FFFF00]Do I look happy to you? I'm the only one doing anything around here, risking my neck for Molly miners and this little alliance we have? You all are too busy throwing punches at each other on Arranmore instead of actually doing what we were tasked to do! Push the Bretonians and Corsairs back!
In the past two nights, I've had to pleasantly deal with a Corsair Cruiser and a Bounty Hunter fighter.
I'm well aware that the planning for Operation:Redaction is taking up a huge amount of time and the training you must be putting in with Captain Francesco Parteli is paying off... Apparently.

Forge here.
It is with a heavy heart I bring you more bad news Soldiers of the Coalition. A wing deployed for Operation: Redaction has just reported back that we have lost Lieutenant Colonel Julio Quientilla.
Today is a heavy day for us; We have lost another of our veterans. Lieutenant Colonel Quientilla was an exceptional Revolution pilot, turning the tide of battle whenever he arrived.
Today may be shrouded in Darkness, as was the day we lost Major Warner, but remember that morning will always come, no matter how dark the night was.
Comrades, let us continue Operation: Redaction! For Warner, for Quientilla! Let us fight on!

Forge here.
Bloody hell.
I come back from Volgograd, having already given the damn eulogy of Quientilla, when I'm told we have a frakkin Bretonia Warship in Omega 52!
With the International not equipped for capital warfare, and with only a single bomber present, I took command of the Sickle and immediately went with Senior-Lieutenant Claus to find it. It had just been passing JiangXi when we found the bastard. Chased it just past Volgograd and then managed to disrupt it. Bastard thought the words "Not your concern" was OK.
The Sickle lost three Nanobots and did not even try and dodge. The idiot had the most ill-equipped warship I had ever seen! His armor plating ranked 4 on the Universal Armor scale!
Needless to say, the Sickle and Claus, along with a Storm Patrol from the usual defense fleet, obliterated it in a minute. That will teach those damn teadrinkers to stay the hell out of our space.
I received a request for assistance from a Molly ship of the Cork Battle group. I had been on the International, re familiarizing myself with her, when the call came. the [M]-MD-Dunlaivin.Green|C had taken out a Bretonian Destroyer before heading back into Omega 7. Following it, we engaged the RNC-Jueilch after meeting with the Dunlaivin Green at the Omega 5 Jump Hole. Together we annihilated the crusier, with the Green losing nanobots (ironically, the exact number of nanos the International had transferred over beforehand). During this, the already-damaged Sierra Maestra, under the capable command of newly-promoted Senior-Lieutenant Lachina Murray, remained at the Omgea 7 jumphole in Omega 5, bravely ensuring our egrees corridor was kept open. She performed her duty even though her ship was heavily damaged earlier. She has been given a fine command, and I applaud her courage.
Today was a good day for us; Excluding the Sierra Maestra's heavy damage in Omega 7, we have lost not one allied vessel.
Another glorious day in the Dublin system, some Corsair cannibals were challenging the Red Dawn over the system communications. Attempting to goad out myself, too bad they did not know I had two Molly Destroyers as back-up.
We caught a Havoc Bomber and an Osiris with their pants down, I two-shotted the Havoc before we moved onto the bigger fish which took the combined effort of aformentioned ships as well as two IMG acting as support bombers.
One scylla, the Golden Druid was crippled during the fighting and had to withdraw suffering terrible damage. The osiris was soon smoked, and I went to the Arranmore bar to celebrate with my Molly comrades. Guncams Below.

[Message Begins]
It was as I had suspected. The International did not simply disappear in Omega-7. It was sabotaged by forces loyal to an unknown party. We found it's wreckage deep in the explosive fields of Omega-7. I had ordered a massive rescue operation to be conducted in Omega-7. I wasn't about to allow our comrades to die in the cold vacuum of space.
Unfortunately, The International has been all but crippled and will be out of action for an unknown period of time. There were few survivors, but of note is Forge and Villers. While Villers lays in a coma, Comrade Forge has requested to be given permission to tell his story, despite the objections of the medical staff.
Comrade Forge will shed light on the matter, and prove one party vying for power is not above sabotage and taking the lives of highly loyal members of the Coalition.

Forge here.
Comrades, friends. *cough* We were skirting the edge of the field, where we and the Dunlaivan had slew a Rheinland cruiser. St first, we thought it was a coolant failure.
That is, until we lost the entire right engine. Then everything died. We were dead in the water...*cough*
Then the Fafnirs came.
Forge pauses
I barely tackled Villers off the bridge as the first Nova struck. Torres...brave Torres managed to bring the lateral solaris online with the top mortar. He died as he activated the auto-fire. Gabrie Torres fell fighting. As I dragged Villers to the escape pods, the next salvo hit, the explosion throwing us back, knocking out Villers. We...I barely got us deeper into the International. They kept firing, until...until Rhade's search party scared them off.
Comrades. My friends. The only thing I could find in regards to this...was a medal of the New Coalition, alongside Ling's seal. Whether it be both sides or one side framing the other, I do not know. All I know is that Capitain Gabriel Torres, a friend, is dead. Another, in a coma.
