Citizens, people:
Some of you might have herd of me, but I'm certain the majority of you are wondering who this is on a public broadcast. I am Annabelle Heinrich, the Generalmajor, and leader of the Volksrevolution. Many of our supporters live on this peaceful planet, the Volksrevolution has respected the peace and safe haven that is - Gran Canaria. This place is a beacon of equality, a light in the darkness of the edge worlds.
It has come to my attention that now that peace is threatened, that you -all of whom deserve to be treated as equals- are being forced to live under a system that will forcefully discriminate and flush you into social statuses to which you do not belong. I, and my followers have fought for a lifetime to support those under oppression of "powers" who claim to be above them - above people like you. The Bretonians are desperate, they see you as their lessers, as pawns to be moved for the sake of their betterment as a house. I have seen what the desperation of the so called "authorities" amounts to, that is death, and war for those who do not deserve it. You do not deserve it.
I come to you as an equal, as another resident of Gran Canaria - which I am. In the unfortunate event there is a conflict, in the unfortunate event you are put at risk, I offer each of you residence among the populous of the Volksrevolution. I also offer refuge for those who wish to live independently, the Volksrevolution has facilities in the neighboring systems and at its now liberated core, we can, and will provide passage and refuge for all who seek shelter from this conflict. And should the conflict come to a close - you will each be granted passage home. Living among us, a group with enemies may be frightful, but I can assure you that you will all be treated as equals, none of you will be held above another, none of you will be held below another - you will all be given the safety and security you deserve.
The Volksrevolution has not, and will not violate the neutrality laws that encompass Omega-49, we will move no warships, we will not bring weapons of war - but instead transportation for all who seek refuge from this conflict in most unfortunate event it de-escalates to such a state. Transportation will arrive within the Omega-49 system shortly, information and direction for those of you who seek our hospitality will be made public within the week - though we hope it may never come to such a scenario where you need our hospitality.
Rest assured as I live among you, I and the Volksrevolution endorse the independence and freedom of all who live on Gran Canaria.
My name is Red, and i'm one of those Zoners, that don't run away and don't sell is soul for some gold. Five years ago the Corsairs decided to take the planetand i was one that took arms and fought then back. Many of both sides were lost ... but that is pass. During the last five years, many of us have prepared for a new invasion .. we thought that would be the garlics ... i mean ... the gallics but looks like we were wrong ... it is the bretonians.
What i whant to say to you it that at this time, around 20.000 Zoners around the planet are getting ready for the bretonian invasion!! Of this 20.000 about 1/4 are logistics, medical and others non first line combatent! And about 1/4 are well trained and motivated and equipped, and we are more than match to any thing that bretonia can send against us!! The rest ... the rest are not that good!! We have the equippement ... most are even rheinland origin .. they are motiveted but ... they are trained but not that much!!!
So if you really love Gran Canaria, and really want to help ... send us troops!! Not to fight if they don't want, but to serve as advisers, if you understand what i mean! Help us train all the militias groups around the planet, to high level standards! If you don't want to do that ... jus to help for an evacuation ... i advise you not to contact the people of this planet, and go directly to the so call Zoners from OSI and the Zoner Consensus .

Citizens, people:
The term "criminal" is relative to those who define the crimes themselves, my definitions might not encompass yours completely. But rest assure, I believe we both hold a mutual definition for the crime of taking innocent lives - murder. As I have preached before -and so I shall again- the Bretonians are no different than those they define as murders and criminals.
The evacuation effort to secured Volksrevolution space will commence for those wishing to seek our hospitality. Rest assured the liveships will be escorted, all who come between you and your right to move as you see fit - will be treated as criminals.

Sender: Linnea Holt | Receiver: All replying Zoners | Subject: Reply Dear miss Heinrich,
I thank you for your efforts to help out an entire planet's worth of innocent people. Not many would think that what the Rheinlanders call a group of "criminals" would go out of their way to aid a neutral populace. With the recent announcement made by the Bretonians signaling their impending annexation of Gran Canaria, I firmly believe neutrality went out of the window for us Zoners. Bretonia has become exactly what they vowed to fight to the bitter end; like Gallics. Should any of your vessels require assistance in the system of Omega 49, and I happen to be around, I would aid your ships as if they were Zoners. As such, you can count on my fullest support to your endeavours to end the Bretonian invasion of the system.
This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.
