In light of recent events in Delta, and over what we have discussed, myself and the Knight Captains have reached a conclusion. The Forlorn Hope will take part in the skirmishes in Delta and around the Freeport. However, we will not be siding with the Core or the Order in this endeavor. Our aide will be strictly limited to that of the Zoners of the Freeport.
Primarily, we will be present for anti-nomad operations, and our transports will begin relief operations for the station. Further, despite our wishes to not be drawn into a conflict between the Order and the Core, we understand that while the Core are your allies, we will be called upon to assist them in combat. Once again, this is no problem, provided that it is understood we will do so only in defense of the Freeport and its additions.
The Forlorn haven't forgotten our roots, and I trust that we can work with these conditions in place.
I'm sorry I didn't get to respond earlier. With the sudden turn of the events and the deadly threats of Golanski against all freeports and even Planet Gran Canaria, I must ask you to stand down for now. I didn't get to contact IRG and OSI yet for the Bounty Board, and looking at the current situation, I don't know whether it will be a thing. You've done a great job, though, especially during the final battle for Port Carthage. NEMP warheads! The blaze of glory was visible from the freeport. Simply crazy.
I've seen all I needed and you will find your bank account displaying quite an amount of Credits to value your invaluable services in the last three days. But for now we need to observe. I can't allow the Order to use NEMP weapons on freeports and Canaria. I may need to leave, accepting surrender. I'll do everything that help de-escalating things. Everything except blaming Core for anything. They were incredible and we know the truth about them. What the Order spread about them is nothing but lies. They have sacrificed so much to protect us. We shall not forget that.
Stay tuned, but make sure you yourself and your friends are keeping distance. I don't want you to get harmed because of this madman.

Leadership is to put the needs of your people before your own. Sting as it may, acquiescing to the demands prevents harms to thousands, as I'm sure you already know. The demand of your withdrawal speaks heavily to your character, while highlighting theirs. Don't be disheartened by it.
No need to trouble yourself over could's and would's. Life goes on, and while we can't win them all, we can sure as hell try. Naturally the circumstances have changed since the first transmission in here was sent, and thats ok. The anti-nomad operations were largely successful, with myself downing 2 of the more dangerous nomad variants, Garrus downing one, and several drones being scrapped through combined efforts of the Forlorn, Auxesia, Core and the Providence. If I can remember correctly, you even assisted us in bringing down a Marduk on the final day of the siege.
Finally, I wish there had been an alternative, but deploying NEMP weaponry was the only way to stem the tide, and even then did little more than succeed in preventing our forces from being overwhelmed outright, and drawing the battle out for nearly two hours.
I'm sure I'll be seeing you around Kyu, and I'll make sure to bring Picket to visit. He still has questions for you.
