Privyet, kamerades. I have news to relay.
Earlier this day, the sensor array signaled unknown ships entering the system. The signal was relayed to the CPW Aurora, still docked in Omega-54 due to repairs. As soon as I took off from the drydocks, I set a course for the Omega-5 system, where I was lucky to find a lone Privateer snubcraft, and nonetheless one of the QCP, also known as Queen Carina's Privateers.
While I was interrogating him, I was joined by the CPW Resurgency, the first of our newest Hurricane-class battlecruisers.
[Small note: the engineers at Mykolaiv really did a great job. They deserve a medal for creating such a vessel.]
|---|
This puny 'rum sipper' - as he wanted to be referred to, described a deal around Gold between them and a Bundschuh group known as Die Weisse Rose. I was also contacted by the DWR in question - Kommandant Tanya von Degurechaff, that described be how the Gold was to use in building a scientific vessel (probably a Corvo-class explorer?) in an Order shipyard, specifically Fort Carthage.
In light of this, and since the rum sipper's friends were waiting him, I decided to let him go to not raise any unnecessary suspects.
We all know that our ties to the DWR movement are still young and fragile - subject to possible breaks, and the fact that they struck a deal with those dirty Privateers - despite Kommandant von Degurechaff saying that she had no choice - does actually worry me.
She also has to amend the violation of New Moscow's space. Yet, I shall leave this in the hands of His Watchful Eye and the Ministry of Truth.

[17.11.2017 19:40:02] QCP|CC-F.Campbell: Is that what you want? and why would you want to meet them?

[17.11.2017 19:42:25] QCP|CC-F.Campbell: They are the leading Bundschuh party
[17.11.2017 19:42:32] SCRA|CPW-Aurora: BO: "Interesting."

[17.11.2017 19:44:07] Himmel: Tanya: As a part of the cooperation's conditions we have handled, he is assumed to arrive with this convoy.
[17.11.2017 19:44:25] SCRA|CPW-Aurora: BO: "What cooperation? Indulge me."
[17.11.2017 19:45:15] Himmel: Tanya: Our cooperation negotiation we recently concluded. This includes the delievery of 4 thousands units of gold.

[17.11.2017 19:45:34] Himmel: Tanya: Commander Campbell is the part of this convoy.
[17.11.2017 19:45:54] SCRA|CPW-Aurora: BO: "However, he still is a Bretonian who trespassed - like the rest of his friends."
[17.11.2017 19:46:07] SCRA|CPW-Aurora: BO: "And trespassed /our home system/."
[17.11.2017 19:46:30] Himmel: Tanya: Let us settle this between just you and me. Later. I will make amends for their behavior.

[17.11.2017 19:49:44] SCRA|CPW-Resurgency: ?: Sounds about right.
[17.11.2017 19:49:49] SCRA|CPW-Aurora: BO: "Maybe we should pay them a visit."

[17.11.2017 19:51:10] SCRA|CPW-Resurgency: ?: *He Laughs*
[17.11.2017 19:51:47] SCRA|CPW-Aurora: BO: "Although...we might need to hear more about these 'Privateers'."
[17.11.2017 19:52:03] SCRA|CPW-Resurgency: ?: I suggest an investigation.
[17.11.2017 19:52:20] SCRA|CPW-Aurora: BO: "They wish to be called 'rum sippers'."
[17.11.2017 19:52:34] SCRA|CPW-Resurgency: ?: Unsuprising.
[17.11.2017 19:52:48] SCRA|CPW-Aurora: BO: "Seems to me that these are mercenaries of some sort, employed by the Bretonians."
[17.11.2017 19:53:02] SCRA|Antoine.Joassard: The Saboteur arrives !
[17.11.2017 19:53:04] SCRA|CPW-Resurgency: ?: I'm not suprised.
[17.11.2017 19:53:08] SCRA|CPW-Resurgency: ?: Pryviet

[17.11.2017 19:54:19] SCRA|CPW-Aurora: BO: "These guys were dealing with a group called 'Die Weisse Rose."
[17.11.2017 19:54:33] SCRA|Antoine.Joassard: Ah. Our new friends, I take it.
[17.11.2017 19:54:39] SCRA|Antoine.Joassard: Good of you to have come to their rescue.
[17.11.2017 19:55:03] SCRA|Antoine.Joassard: Well, now that I'm here and the engine's running, I'll fix up that new Saboteur of mine.
[17.11.2017 19:55:05] SCRA|CPW-Aurora: BO: "We need to know more about those Privateers."
[17.11.2017 19:55:17] SCRA|Antoine.Joassard: They're old enemies of the SCRA.
[17.11.2017 19:55:28] SCRA|CPW-Aurora: BO: "Hmm."
[17.11.2017 19:55:36] SCRA|Antoine.Joassard: Much stronger then... But it is worrying to see them reappear.
[17.11.2017 19:55:52] SCRA|CPW-Resurgency: ?: I suggest the Ministry of Truth be notified.
[17.11.2017 19:55:58] SCRA|CPW-Aurora: BO: "However - if they struck a deal with the DWR, that might be a problem."
[17.11.2017 19:56:06] SCRA|CPW-Aurora: BO: "Agreed. I'll see to it."
[17.11.2017 19:56:15] SCRA|CPW-Resurgency: ?: Copy.
[17.11.2017 19:56:18] SCRA|Antoine.Joassard: Ah. Dealing with, as in, not fighting, you meant.
[17.11.2017 19:56:22] SCRA|Antoine.Joassard: That is indeed very worrying.
[17.11.2017 19:56:45] SCRA|Antoine.Joassard: Our friendship with the DWR is a very fragile and young one, it could be easily torn apart by Bretonnian corruption.
[17.11.2017 19:56:50] SCRA|CPW-Aurora: BO: "I was contacted by the DWR in question, kommandant Tanya von Degurechaff."
[17.11.2017 19:57:06] SCRA|CPW-Resurgency: ?: Good bye for now.
[17.11.2017 19:57:07] SCRA|CPW-Aurora: BO: "Was told about a deal in Gold."
[17.11.2017 19:57:15] SCRA|CPW-Aurora: BO: "Dasvidanya."
[17.11.2017 19:57:27] SCRA|Antoine.Joassard: Curious.
[17.11.2017 19:57:32] SCRA|CPW-Aurora: BO: "Indeed."
[17.11.2017 19:57:46] SCRA|Antoine.Joassard: I wonder what they have to gain by allying with a weak political opponent of Rheinland.
[17.11.2017 19:57:54] SCRA|CPW-Aurora: BO: "I have no idea."
[17.11.2017 19:58:42] SCRA|CPW-Aurora: BO: "Kommandant von Degurechaff - why is the DWR interested in Gold?"
[17.11.2017 19:58:45] Cloaking device off
[17.11.2017 19:59:54] Himmel: Tanya: This is pretty simple. It is to be delievered to the Order shipyard in order for the special scientific vessel to be
[17.11.2017 19:59:55] Himmel: built.
[17.11.2017 20:00:21] SCRA|CPW-Aurora: BO: "I suppose you refer to Taba..."
[17.11.2017 20:00:42] SCRA|CPW-Aurora: BO: "I see."
[17.11.2017 20:00:54] Himmel: Tanya: I refer to Fort Carthage. I was given the clearance to dock there for the delieveries.
[17.11.2017 20:01:09] SCRA|CPW-Aurora: BO: "However, we deem worrying that you saught help from those Bretonian Privateers."
[17.11.2017 20:01:37] SCRA|Antoine.Joassard: Job's done. I'll meet you at the mess, comrade.
[17.11.2017 20:01:48] SCRA|CPW-Aurora: BO: "Dasvidanya."
[17.11.2017 20:02:04] Himmel: Tanya: Excuse me, commander. In that case, i suppose, this was the only way to settle the things.
[17.11.2017 20:02:05] Death: Core|WV-Anassi suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[17.11.2017 20:02:57] SCRA|CPW-Aurora: BO: "The Ministry of Truth, however, will be informed of this."
[17.11.2017 20:03:29] SCRA|CPW-Aurora: BO: "For now, dasvidanya. Commissar De Grasse, out."
[17.11.2017 20:03:29] Himmel: Tanya: Now, if you would excuse me - i have matters to attend to. I can't make them waiting even more.
That is all for now, kamerades.

Privyet, kamerades. I have great news to relay.
Earlier, alarms rang on Arranmore, in Dublin, where I restationed my Revolution bomber - SCRA|Le.Daemon. Without further ado, I scrambled it outside. And here comes the main part - a Bretonian gunboat floating nearby Arranmore, name HMS-Murder_of_Crows.
Seeing that it targeted a friendly Molly transport, designation LootsVan, I chose to open the dances and engage it. The very same LootsVan and [M]-Martha,Lass decided to lend me a hand. The skirmish was pretty quick, and a well placed Nova torpedo fired from me pierced the weak gunboat's hull, blowing it up to smithereens. Shortly after thanking the Mollys, I restocked on Arranmore - and this concludes my report.
Senior Lieutenant Kyle Winston reporting,
A Unidentified vessel was spotted entering Omega 52 by the CPW-Comintern, I was dispatched from Gorodok to investigate.
Upon arrival at the Comitern they reported he had fled to Omega 49, I pursued and found him, doing only what I could assume, was transmitting back to his Rheinland Leader's, for this, was a MND Gunboat full of both Corsair terrorists and our Dearest allies. Its captain foolishly engaged his Jump systems and Jumped back into Omega 52. This is where his story comes to an end, I began a fight with him however the power the Revolution was too much for him and his was destroyed. The Crew of the Comitern helped a lot. They deserve a double Vodka Ration tonight.

As you might already know, rumors are spreading about these Cultists staging attacks all over Sirius. In order to detect and deter them, I joined up with Premier Selim on the CPW Lithuania to make a system-wide scan of New Moscow.
As we reached Mykolaiv, the space around the station was breached by Cult bomber drones, which were disposed of quickly. However, soon after those appeared, multiple contacts appeared - a full raiding fleet of Cultists! We did also detect their staging depot, a small way from Mykolaiv itself - which was promptly destroyed without hesitation. We managed to recall to New Moscow all the ships in service in order to counter this threat. I managed to identify several signatures, listed below:
- Bomber drones: packing multiple antimatter cannons, they resemble the common Roc civilian bomber seen everywhere in Sirius. Easy to deal with with fighters.
- Heavy drones: equipped with multiple 'Manticore' Cult beam cannons, these are a danger to snubcraft dur to the cannons' long range and high refire. Heavy assets required.
- Support gunboat: Resembling the common Condor civilian gunboat, these are even more deadlier than heavy drones. Heavy assets strongly required.
- Drone Carrier: the height of Cult dangerousness, these ships resembling the Bustard civilian carriers are extremely armed and dangerous. Capital heavy assets with long-range weaponry is required in order to not enter range of its long-range beam turrets.
As an added note, all Cultist ships are heavily armored, so much that even bomber drones can withstand the heavy firepower of a Typhoon destroyer. We should make our R&D research some of the remains - perhaps we can discover what makes them so resilient. Back to the battle - in the end we managed to obliterate all ships, with the help of our SCEC comrades and of all the comrades that rose to fight. Yet, many brave comrades facing them were killed in action (//NPCs) - we honoured their sacrifices as the highest form of service to the Motherland. Premier Selim, from the CPW Lenin he took command of, allowed me to transfer the spoils we obtained to TOR-TWO - it is the only image I managed to save from my camera as the rest have all been lost.
We scrambled our fleet to aid our Hessen allies within their homeworld of Omega-47, where a Cultist nest was discovered. Such nest was made up of a Cultist Fleet Carrier, Cultist Assault Carrier and a Cultist Uplink Node. Of course, there were a huge amount of drones to protect them.
The battle was fierce and bloody. Enemy drones were swatted like flies, and the bigger drones were squashed like bugs. At a certain point, two Crayterian vessels jumped in, as well as two IMG ships which came to our aid. Yet, the Crayterians were unwelcomed. One of them, a fighter, was caught by the Hessian SOA, and the other one, a Deimos-class dreadnought, was sunk by a Cultist carrier.
In the end, the nest was obliterated, along with the drones and the two supportive Cultist carriers. Our comrades from both Hessen and SCRA sides collected the spoils of war. Unfortunately, I cannot provide guncams as mine was heavily damaged. As the Premier himself - as the epitome of our might and glory - was on the field, he'll be able to share some guncams.
However, I managed to acquire a guncam of the overall spoils acquired.
Stand strong, kamerades.

Today, Premier Selim, Field Marshal Keller, myself and -later on- comrade Grachov from the Expeditionary Corps successfully interdicted and destroyed a trespassing Bounty Hunter by the callsign of BHG|Sicario.
Much to our surprise, he managed to get ahold of a Nomad Power Cell, which signatures coincide with the very same items that [REDACTED] employ to empower their vessels and weapons. To add to that, I also captured 5 [REDACTED] specimens, which were successfully transfered onto TOR-TWO along with said article, under heavy containment.

Report Wrote:Privyet.
I bring dire news: the Royalist pigs built an entire drydock just behind Bretonia's front door!
I recalled my mobile drone back to New Moscow for refit and maintenance, as usual. While traversing Edinburgh, its sensors detected an installation in the distance. In order to check it out, I diverted the drone's course and manually took control of it. Said installation, called Issodun Drydock, is a short distance away from the jumpgate leading to Leeds. Its defence perimeter is maintained by the local Battleship La Riche.
Although it seems weird for me to say it - we cannot allow those pigs to maintain said installation. If we could disable it, or even better assume control of it, it would be greatly beneficial for both us and Bretonia to an extent.
The drone managed to take a camera shot of the whole area, of course. On the way back, its frame - a Partisan-class interceptor - has been damaged beyond repair, and I had no choice but to switch to a Skeleton-class Edge World interceptor chassis.
This is a message sent directly to the eyes Ministry of Truth and His Watchful Eye himself.
Earlier today, Premier Selim, Field Marshal Keller, myself and Lieutenant Kessykbayev engaged Royalist dogs in Dublin. While we came only in snubcraft, the dishonourable Royalist - after one of them called us a 'disgrace' - had the nerve of calling in one of their destroyers fit with Solaris-grade turrets. To mention that a freelancer gunboat and a couple Bretonians assisted us against the Royals. Nevertheless, they were crushed under the People's Hammer and we went back to New Moscow victorious, and without a loss.
[28.07.2018 14:43:40] SCRA|Rote.Baron: If we want to strike fear into their erroded minds we need to strike deeper.
[28.07.2018 14:43:45] SCRA|Rote.Baron: And with no remorse.
[28.07.2018 14:43:54] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "In their very heart."
[28.07.2018 14:44:24] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "The best way to kill a beast is to shoot either its heart or its brain."
[28.07.2018 14:44:30] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: Like our last foray into Paris, da.
[28.07.2018 14:44:34] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: We should prepare for another of those.
[28.07.2018 14:44:35] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Oui."
[28.07.2018 14:44:46] SCRA|Rote.Baron: Comrade Premier I'm referencing a certain..
[28.07.2018 14:44:52] SCRA|Rote.Baron: Material I secured for you in my days as Krsnik.
[28.07.2018 14:44:54] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "They will be crushed again."
[28.07.2018 14:46:00] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "I have discovered their repair and refueling port."
[28.07.2018 14:46:21] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "It's located in Edinburgh, designation Issodun Spaceport."
[28.07.2018 14:46:36] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "A ship berth."
[28.07.2018 14:46:46] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: A new installation?
[28.07.2018 14:46:49] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Oui."
[28.07.2018 14:46:56] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Recent construction."
[28.07.2018 14:47:00] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: Gallia must be stepping up its push on Bretonia.
[28.07.2018 14:47:18] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "I overheard that they aim to make a final push in New London."
[28.07.2018 14:47:27] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "A gate is being built in Leeds."
[28.07.2018 14:47:56] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: That won't bode well for our new aquaintances.
[28.07.2018 14:47:58] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "And with that spaceport, they have the ability to quickly repair their damaged vessels."
[28.07.2018 14:48:14] SCRA|Rote.Baron: One thing is clear.
[28.07.2018 14:48:34] SCRA|Rote.Baron: Killing their proxies agitates them greatly.
[28.07.2018 14:48:41] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Mind warfare?"
[28.07.2018 14:48:41] SCRA|Rote.Baron: It clouds their judgement with rage, naturally.
[28.07.2018 14:48:51] SCRA|Rote.Baron: If we could assault their gate and force their companies to begin repairs.
[28.07.2018 14:48:59] SCRA|Rote.Baron: We could slaughter them all and draw them out.
[28.07.2018 14:49:05] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "You better than others know the need for a cool mind on the field, Lukas."
[28.07.2018 14:49:15] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "I support your plan."
[28.07.2018 14:49:21] SCRA|Rote.Baron: I tempered my hate through patience.
[28.07.2018 14:49:28] SCRA|Rote.Baron: Aggression is necessary.
[28.07.2018 14:49:33] SCRA|Rote.Baron: But not so much where the line blurs.
[28.07.2018 14:49:35] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: We'll need a suitable weapon for such a plan.
[28.07.2018 14:49:39] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Like..."
[28.07.2018 14:49:41] SCRA|Rote.Baron: A NEMP would do.
[28.07.2018 14:49:56] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Perhaps our comrades of the SCEC might have one."
[28.07.2018 14:50:04] SCRA|Rote.Baron: It will halt their advance into New London and give the Bretonians time to stage fortifications.
[28.07.2018 14:50:11] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: The Expansion Corps does deal in a lot of experimental hardware.
[28.07.2018 14:50:16] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: It wouldn't be beyond them.
[28.07.2018 14:50:23] SCRA|Rote.Baron: Do not misunderstand me.
[28.07.2018 14:50:29] SCRA|Rote.Baron: We cannot hold Leeds for long.
[28.07.2018 14:50:34] SCRA|Rote.Baron: We cannot hold it at all.
[28.07.2018 14:50:42] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: We don't need to hold it, though.
[28.07.2018 14:50:44] SCRA|Rote.Baron: All we can do is make this expensive for them.
[28.07.2018 14:50:51] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: When have we needed to hold much solid land?
[28.07.2018 14:51:05] SCRA|Rote.Baron: On the contrary Premier, I feel Leeds is in need of Liberation.
[28.07.2018 14:51:10] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "The Royalists want to hold it? Fine."
[28.07.2018 14:51:18] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Make it pay a harsh price."
[28.07.2018 14:51:26] SCRA|Rote.Baron: My thoughts exactly.
[28.07.2018 14:51:30] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: We'll have to see.
[28.07.2018 14:51:43] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: The conference with Bretonia is due relatively soon, on the political side of things.
[28.07.2018 14:51:43] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "We can employ the smog clouds."
[28.07.2018 14:51:54] SCRA|Rote.Baron: A self governing Leeds would be a strike against Gallia.. and a future precaution with the Bretonians.
[28.07.2018 14:52:00] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Mhm."
[28.07.2018 14:52:30] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "I'd rather see a friendly -and communized- House Bretonia than filthy Royalist dogs."
[28.07.2018 14:53:02] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: Bretonia may well be the most likely House to support a socialist, if not Communist, policy.
[28.07.2018 14:53:11] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Exactly."
[28.07.2018 14:53:29] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: You can see it in the high level of subsidy they issue to their crown organizations.
[28.07.2018 14:53:43] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: A tarnished consituttional crown, but at least it is more honest than the Gauls'.
[28.07.2018 14:53:48] SCRA|ShuhratKessykbayev: S: I think that the first step is to expand us in Leeds, and if this means share the territory with Bretonians at the beginning
[28.07.2018 14:53:53] SCRA|ShuhratKessykbayev: S: is ok
[28.07.2018 14:53:56] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Definetly."
[28.07.2018 14:54:08] SCRA|Rote.Baron: Leeds is too far for us to securely Govern.
[28.07.2018 14:54:11] SCRA|Rote.Baron: Our lines would be stretched.
[28.07.2018 14:54:25] SCRA|Rote.Baron: Contrary to the propaganda, our Military does not have the brass to hold such a distant location.
[28.07.2018 14:54:25] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "We never said we would govern it directly."
[28.07.2018 14:54:39] SCRA|Rote.Baron: That is where my suggestion ties in.
[28.07.2018 14:54:48] SCRA|Rote.Baron: A self-governing Planet Leeds.
[28.07.2018 14:54:57] SCRA|ShuhratKessykbayev: S: Ambassadors also
[28.07.2018 14:54:58] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Sort of a buffer zone."
[28.07.2018 14:55:18] SCRA|Rote.Baron: The first step is in portraying ourselves in a good light with the local resistance and militias.
[28.07.2018 14:55:24] SCRA|Rote.Baron: Offer them rations, training and arms.
[28.07.2018 14:55:29] SCRA|ShuhratKessykbayev: S: Agreed
[28.07.2018 14:55:32] SCRA|Rote.Baron: Direct support on the ground if necessary.
[28.07.2018 14:55:35] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "And aid against the Royals."
[28.07.2018 14:55:45] SCRA|Rote.Baron: It'll give us valuable intel on the lay-out of Leeds to top this.
[28.07.2018 14:56:01] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "It's a sound strategy to me."
[28.07.2018 14:56:14] SCRA|Rote.Baron: My proposal is as follows, lend me your ears for this.
[28.07.2018 14:56:34] SCRA|Rote.Baron: We draw out the Gallic fleet, slaughter enough corporation shuttles to make them send their best and brightest.
[28.07.2018 14:56:46] SCRA|Rote.Baron: Let them charge New London under the impression that it was sanctioned by Bretonia.
[28.07.2018 14:56:52] SCRA|Rote.Baron: NEMP the gate once they pass through.
[28.07.2018 14:57:04] SCRA|Rote.Baron: Assault Leeds with full force either via jump-drives or through anomalies.
[28.07.2018 14:57:16] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Divide and conquer."
[28.07.2018 14:57:16] SCRA|Rote.Baron: Liberate as many outposts and level as many bunkers before the last stand is broken.
[28.07.2018 14:57:40] SCRA|Rote.Baron: And when all is said and done, the Gallic Navy will have lost their prized Planet.
[28.07.2018 14:58:00] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Sounds good to me."
[28.07.2018 14:58:07] SCRA|ShuhratKessykbayev: S: Me too
[28.07.2018 14:58:12] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Premier?"
[28.07.2018 14:58:17] SCRA|Rote.Baron: Even if Leeds is liberated for a year at most.
[28.07.2018 14:58:23] SCRA|Rote.Baron: They will take heavy losses retaking it.
[28.07.2018 14:58:30] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: Quite the plan.
[28.07.2018 14:58:50] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: If we could conduct damage on that scale, it would certainly be burned into the memory of all.
[28.07.2018 14:59:04] SCRA|Rote.Baron: The Gallic advance would have been halted by none other than the Coalition.
[28.07.2018 14:59:15] SCRA|Rote.Baron: Bretonia will have slaughtered the Gauls in a kill-box.
[28.07.2018 14:59:17] SCRA|Rote.Baron: And Leeds will be free..
[28.07.2018 14:59:21] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Where the capitalists failed, we succeeded."
[28.07.2018 14:59:34] SCRA|Kim:Ye-jin: Leeds, free? Not so long as it's under Bretonian rule.
[28.07.2018 14:59:35] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "No propaganda is stronger than this."
[28.07.2018 14:59:48] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Lieutenant."
[28.07.2018 14:59:58] SCRA|Kim:Ye-jin: //Sorry.
[28.07.2018 15:00:02] SCRA|Rote.Baron: Calm yourself, Commissar.
[28.07.2018 15:00:06] SCRA|Rote.Baron: It was an accidental discharge.
[28.07.2018 15:00:16] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "I didn't refer to the discharge."
[28.07.2018 15:00:29] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "I was about to say that Leeds is better kept by the Brets."
[28.07.2018 15:00:37] SCRA|Rote.Baron: Leeds is better kept by itself.
[28.07.2018 15:00:41] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Even better."
[28.07.2018 15:00:50] SCRA|Rote.Baron: A buffer like Canaria but minus their.. excessive tolerance.
[28.07.2018 15:00:55] SCRA|Rote.Baron: We could mould their ideals as their saviors.
[28.07.2018 15:01:00] SCRA|Kim:Ye-jin: Have you seen what BMM has done to the place? It's a showpiece of capitalist failure.
[28.07.2018 15:01:05] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: Ah, yes. Gran Canaria.
[28.07.2018 15:01:24] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Where capitalism fails, we succeed."
[28.07.2018 15:01:37] SCRA|Kim:Ye-jin: Leeds is oppressed whether Gallia or Leeds runs it. Two sides of the same failed coin.
[28.07.2018 15:01:51] SCRA|Rote.Baron: An autonomous Leeds is a free Leeds.
[28.07.2018 15:01:57] SCRA|Kim:Ye-jin: //Bretonia* damned typo.
[28.07.2018 15:02:19] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "The autonomous Leeds system."
[28.07.2018 15:02:30] SCRA|Rote.Baron: An extension of the Republic of Dublin.
[28.07.2018 15:02:36] SCRA|Kim:Ye-jin: Next to Coalition rule, that would be an ideal outcome.
[28.07.2018 15:02:39] SCRA|Rote.Baron: The Free Socialist Colonies of Bretonia.
[28.07.2018 15:02:47] SCRA|ShuhratKessykbayev: S: Perfect
[28.07.2018 15:02:48] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Now that's sound."
[28.07.2018 15:03:03] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: Mmm.
[28.07.2018 15:03:18] SCRA|Rote.Baron: At this early stage however, it's all wishful thinking.
[28.07.2018 15:03:20] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: We have our ideals, but we can't forget our pragmatism.
[28.07.2018 15:03:47] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: The Revolution has been delayed by about eight hundred years, and there is still a lot of time to go.
[28.07.2018 15:04:04] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Step by step. No revolution builds in a few days."
[28.07.2018 15:04:11] SCRA|Rote.Baron: Very true.
[28.07.2018 15:04:27] SCRA|Rote.Baron: But plant seeds and you will have set the base of a new jungle.
[28.07.2018 15:04:40] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Exactly."
[28.07.2018 15:04:49] SCRA|Rote.Baron: We must not be reluctant to reach out and project our influence.
[28.07.2018 15:05:23] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Let us plant the seed of our ideals and pragmatism."
[28.07.2018 15:05:37] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: Field Marshal.
[28.07.2018 15:05:40] SCRA|Rote.Baron: Ja?
[28.07.2018 15:06:00] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: You will prepare a full plan and submit to the Office of the Premier, for my eventual review, based on this discussion.
[28.07.2018 15:06:12] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: Commissar de Grasse.
[28.07.2018 15:06:14] SCRA|Rote.Baron: Verstanden.
[28.07.2018 15:06:15] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Yes?"
[28.07.2018 15:06:38] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: Coordinate between the Ministry of Truth and the Expansion Corps. Take the needed steps to secure our influence.
[28.07.2018 15:06:44] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: And our experimental weapon.
[28.07.2018 15:06:52] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "it will be done, Premier."
[28.07.2018 15:06:59] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: Lieutenant Shuhrat.
[28.07.2018 15:07:05] SCRA|ShuhratKessykbayev: Da?
[28.07.2018 15:07:14] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: You will prepare the after action report on our recent scuffle with the Gauls.
[28.07.2018 15:07:24] SCRA|ShuhratKessykbayev: S: Yes sir
[28.07.2018 15:07:46] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Rest assured that H.W.E. and the Ministry will be at your full disposal, Premier."
[28.07.2018 15:07:54] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Our duty is to the People, after all."
[28.07.2018 15:07:57] SCRA|Rote.Baron: Comrade Premier, I would like additional permissions to reach out to the Leeds Resistance.
[28.07.2018 15:09:00] SCRA|Rote.Baron: Making contact with them would be proof enough that we care for their struggle, enough to offer our support.
[28.07.2018 15:09:07] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: We will see how far we can "legally" go with that, once the deal with Bretonia is concluded.
[28.07.2018 15:09:21] SCRA|Rote.Baron: Very well, I will hold off on doing so for now.
[28.07.2018 15:09:31] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "I shall prepare my scout drone for a quick reconnaissance of Leeds."
[28.07.2018 15:09:35] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: I doubt they will deny the extra aid, but we need to avoid any early alienation.
[28.07.2018 15:09:57] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: If the still-capitalist mindset of Bretonia feels it is threatened by the People it may curl up and lash.
[28.07.2018 15:11:08] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: *small laugh*
[28.07.2018 15:11:18] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "The probe I dropped in Dublin just pinged."
[28.07.2018 15:11:28] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "The MRG are our for revenge."
[28.07.2018 15:11:38] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "As the Field Marshal expected."
[28.07.2018 15:11:55] SCRA|Rote.Baron: They try to honor the loss of their fellow subjects.
[28.07.2018 15:12:15] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Their honor is blinded by their pride."
[28.07.2018 15:12:25] SCRA|Rote.Baron: And pride comes before the fall.
[28.07.2018 15:12:45] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "They seek vengeance for their fallen."
[28.07.2018 15:12:54] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: They're only subjects as long as they are bound by their chains.
[28.07.2018 15:13:05] SCRA|Rote.Baron: You should have been there to witness one of their pilots ram his fist into the console.
[28.07.2018 15:13:16] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "I saw it myself."
[28.07.2018 15:13:17] SCRA|Rote.Baron: After I'd told him what I did to the GMS vessel.
[28.07.2018 15:13:30] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "The Ministry has eyes everywhere."
[28.07.2018 15:13:41] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "They see without being seen."
[28.07.2018 15:13:50] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "And honestly, I laughed at that."
[28.07.2018 15:14:17] SCRA|Rote.Baron: One step at a time.
[28.07.2018 15:14:21] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Anyway, if there isn't anything else - I would call this a victorious day."
[28.07.2018 15:14:23] SCRA|Rote.Baron: First neutrality with Bretonia.
[28.07.2018 15:14:35] SCRA|Rote.Baron: We must petition them to recognize us as a legitimate sovereign entity.
[28.07.2018 15:14:52] SCRA|Rote.Baron: But for now, I believe it is important that we all rest and see to our relevant reports and preparations.
[28.07.2018 15:14:58] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Agreed."
[28.07.2018 15:15:14] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: You all have it easy, in truth.
[28.07.2018 15:15:19] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: I have the State Duma.
[28.07.2018 15:15:31] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "It isn't easy."
[28.07.2018 15:15:36] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Nothing is easy."
[28.07.2018 15:16:52] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Speaking and spewing words is easy."
[28.07.2018 15:17:04] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "But making a thought come true isn't."
[28.07.2018 15:17:39] SCRA|ShuhratKessykbayev: S: But nothing is impossible. We can successufully breach in the enemy's house
[28.07.2018 15:17:53] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "Right."
[28.07.2018 15:18:25] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "And the Coalition knows it better than any House or capitalist scum does."
[28.07.2018 15:18:34] SCRA|ShuhratKessykbayev: S: Da
[28.07.2018 15:18:53] SCRA|Rote.Baron: I'll return to my office to begin work on properly filing this operation's documentation.
[28.07.2018 15:18:59] SCRA|Mehmed-Selim: Right.
[28.07.2018 15:19:19] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "I'll head to my quarters and start inquiring the Ministry."
[28.07.2018 15:19:28] SCRA|Michel.De.Grasse: "The SCEC will be contacted too."
The logs I forward represent the discussion that happened in orbit of Jiangxi, where the Field Marshal described its possible plan against the Royalists to halt their advance, making the Brets gain time to build fortifications.
The Premier asks of the Ministry of Truth to collaborate with our comrades of the SCEC in firmly assessing our influence within Bretonia, if we wish to undertake such an endeavour.
I will also contact the SCEC myself soon to ask about our 'experimental weapon'. I'd need to ask the Ministry to inquire the GULAG wing about having one of these weapons in their hold - as a result of Cultist drone destruction, perhaps.
This concludes the report.

This is a personal request I'd like to forward towards the Commissariat's R&D division.
Given the latest applications, with dead muppets supposedly rising back to life after a well-placed shot in the head, I feel that my current handgun - standard-issue Volgograd Ordnance, that is - isn't packing enough of a punch anymore.
I decided to take upon myself to draft a customized handgun in order to better enforce the People's Will even on the battlefield.
I called this project of mine "CODENAME AHRIMAN". The blueprint is located below.
I dubbed this handgun 'bolt pistol', based upon old schematics I found in our archives. It is sizeably bigger than the common gun we're used to, however it does have near to no recoil, high accuracy at all ranges, especially mid-range, and a decent amount of bullets - 10 per mag.
With it, I planned to produce special ammunition for this gun: one type suitable for field combat - codename KALASHNIKOV- with high power, whose slug explodes on contact - and another type -codename EXECUTIONER- exclusively for executions or firing line duty, whose elongated shape allows for increased penetration.
The gun, despite its high caliber ammunition, should come with two main barrel attachments: a silencer and a compensator. The first, used for muffled kills, the other one for a decent all-round usage.
Ending this request, I await Your decision.

New Moscow was home to a huge -and fully contained- [REDACTED] surge as various drones and fighters poured in. The CPW Karl Marx, commanded by the Premier, the CPW Aurora, commanded by myself, along with the captain of the Auxiliary fleet flying the CPW Stalingrad set out to repel the menace. Our combined firepower vastly outnumbered the enemy's, and all the crafts were turned into stardust.
During said action, I managed to personally recover 6 pieces of [REDACTED] adapted weaponry, seemingly blasters, and I took captive 21 [REDACTED] specimens. All have been successfully contained onboard the Aurora. As such, I request one of the TOR vessel to be deployed at Your earliest convenience for transfer.
This concludes the report.
