Attention faction leaders!

[Muleo]

Folks, as a reminder ... the 522nd are hostile/unfriendly with the Corsairs. Just throwing that out there.

Hostile eh? How's it I keep having to deal with 522nd docking or hanging around Crete in Lib capships, then crying when they get chased out?

[Orin]

//This is for diplomatic responses, Mule. But in all honesty, that's wrong. We're doing some housecleaning in view of these kinds of things.

[Walker]

//Mule... Silence. The ONLY time a 522nd EVER... EVER Docked at Crete was with EXPLICIT permission from Benitez. MONTHS AGO! And only ONCE! Before we even went hostile...
As for hanging around Crete you have quite well brought our terrible wrath upon yourselves... You attacked us, twice, and and so you will suffer.
The 522nd has visited Omicron-Gamma a total of 3 times, not counting going to Kappa for SNAC's. One of those times was a single fighter. The other two times where 522nd raiding parties shooting your men. And why the heck would we even whine that we where chased out? The two raiding parties we did had TRIPLE the casualties on your side then our side!

Incoming Transmission
To: 522nd HQ
From: The Director, S/D Agency, New London
Subject: 522nd
Priority: Low

Message reads:

The very idea that you have to now ask us to tell you how we feel about you gives me a clear insight into several things, among which I would count your inability to assess your own actions and your inability to impose a command structure on your unruly mob.

The evidence we have gathered of your dealings with the machine menace, assorted criminals, the short-lived Loyalist revolt in Bretonia and other incidents too numerous to mention leads me to believe that this 522nd is most likely an outift of deranged and irrational individuals who are no freedom fighters, but rather a lawless rabble of cut-throats and brigands who might be better off dead.

Based on previous encounters we will view all 522nd ships with suspicion. If you are found associating with the aforementioned, expect little by way of understanding from us.

Having said that, desperate men may be brought to their senses. Full amnesty will be offered to any among you who wish to join the Guild. Better make it the more experienced pilots, though. I wouldn't waste a Piranha on most of your crew.

I'm guessing a new member who didn't understand the political implications. Carlos probably won't be able to post here seeing as he has RL stuff going on, so as the next in command, I'll say the 522nd are hostile to the Benitez. No leadership condones dealing with the 522nd unless it's down the barrel of a gun.

And you know, funnily enough we were having a conversation about this yesterday on our private forums.

Diplomacy with 522nd: Hostile

The present Commander of the 522nd Battlegroup

I must say, first off, I have no idea where you got the idea that I was appointed to a seat in Parliament immediately after my misguided attempt to seize the throne. My rise, fall, and redemption were all that BBC newscasters could talk about for a couple months. Surely, everyone was aware that I was stripped of my former rank of Commodore. Fortunately, Queen Carina is a merciful sort, and did allow me to continue my service to the Crown, despite everything that had happened. If you've been getting Bretonian weapons from a source who's using my name, then I must point out that you've been lied to, as I have no such supply of weapons under my authority. I'm sure that the Admiralty will be conducting a full investigation into where you've been acquiring those weapons.

Now that we've concluded that bit of business, I'd also like to point out that the HMS Pendragon was not actually destroyed in the one engagement that my loyalists and the 522nd fought against it. After she began to withdraw from the Dublin system, we ceased fire and let it leave Dublin in one piece. That battle was a defensive fight on our end, and we achieved our aims when the Pendragon withdrew.

[9/3/2008 4:30:18 PM] Aaron (Boss/Jurgen) says: I'll remind them better of policy
[9/3/2008 4:30:35 PM] Aaron (Boss/Jurgen) says: Although the 522nd is still quite displeased with the Corsairs

And then you go act like it was some omguberoffensive act of aggression on our part, and declare war, just so you can get your pvpcapwhore fix. Sad.

Well, it seems you maddened the wrong madmen.

I haven't had personal communications with your "battlegroup" but it seems that you are to be treated in the same regard as the Bounty Hunters that currently plague our space. Note that, at least the Bounty Hunters actually know what they want, you seem to be wondering around like children without a home, and like children you misbehave from time to time.

We will stand shoulder to shoulder with our brethren, just as we always have. I trust the Elders of the Benitez and OPG that this is in our best interests regarding alliances.

It's interesting that the other houses can handle the dregs of their society, yet Liberty seems to gush these incompetents with a fascinating frequency.

In summary: TO WAR!

//Transmission End.

"The thirteen saloons that had lined the one street of Seney had not left a trace. The foundations of the Mansion House hotel stuck up above the ground. The stone was chipped and split by the fire. It was all that was left of the town of Seney. Even the surface had been burned off the ground.
Nick looked at the burned-over stretch of hillside, where he had expected to find the scattered houses of the town and then walked down the railroad track to the bridge over the river. The river was there."
