This fills me with anger. But, take it that way. Rumor has it that OPG are not welcome anywhere already. They seem to have enough problems. But if I see Gentle, I will make sure he won't get out that easily. I don't have any intent to kill him, but duty is duty.
Oh, and I told my friend Dexter Simmons to give a shout here in the Dumps if you don't mind. You may have seen him, he's the Captain of the Corsair Gunboat "I_m_rdy". He's a good guy.
Yanez out.

Hi, you already may know my name. My name's Dexter Simmons and you may also know me with my callsign "I_m_rdy". I've been here for a pretty long time, but Raul told me to feel free to drop a message here.
If you don't mind, I could post my actions here above Crete and make some battle reports. I'll be in the bar if you need me.

Today, is a great day for the Corsairs. We smashed a large Outcast force and taught the Asgard What-sits that we are a force to be reckoned with, and indeed we are.
Brothers, from all over the Corsair dominion, as well as our faithful friends, the Coalition pilots of their revolutionary army, destroyed two Outcast destroyers and a fighter belonging to the severely misguided battlefleet, while the last three or so fighters fled to their homeland. We would have persued, had it not been for a meddling AW gunboat, the Valgrind, who had the nerve to order us out of the system while the Outcasts were shooting us. In the process, Raul. D. Yanez's fighter was shot down, but he was unharmed and safe in the hold of the Corsair gunboat Antubis.
Of course, the Valgrind was greeted with a politely worded "EAT MY PLASMA!" from myself and he proceeded to engage the TBH and allied forces, as well as the SCRA. We smashed his rogue gunboat into a million pieces across the sky of Theta.
It was then that the Ableben released its moorings with Freeport 9 and proceeded to inquire and enforce AW law in the system, which our force did not allow. Since the hostilities with the Valgrind, we shot first and asked questions later, and soon the Ableben engaged cruise engines. Despite our best efforts, we couldn't get it out of cruise.
Whilst the Juggernaut was cruising, its captain was threatening retribution on the Coalitioners, which we could not allow.
A Jupiter Guild pilot, the Rakghoul, actually tried to resolve the situation peacefully, and he finally convinced myself to break off the chase and leave Theta. he stipulated that the peace of Theta should not be harmed, even though we had to stop an Outcast force attacking. Words that I could argue against, but I decided not too, in the interests of the neutrality with the Zoners.
As our pilots were breaking off, a [dooms] tagged bomber engaged. I gave the order to cease fire to our forces and for him to do the same, but he rejected the offer. He was dispatched soon after.
Of course, we expect their pitiful attempt at retribution to be soon. Guard your fronts well, brothers, for we have yet to win the war!
My goodness! I'm sorry I couldn't be there today for this well-earned victory. My personal studies in Omicron Delta have been intensifying and I have very little time during the day to launch my Titan. I did have an opportunity after hours and encountered my first odd Nomad contact.
Normally, the Nomads in Delta are quite expressionless and tend to die rather easy to a full barrage from my Salamancas, but this one had shields and different guns. His flight broke that of the generic Nomad flight plan and gave me quite the run around. In short, more alive than the rest. After the battle I stupidly tractored in the
remains and whatever he is started to talk to me, I think. It could have been the caffeine from all the coffee I had that day, but I don't think I was hallucienating.
I immediately docked at Freeport 9 to undergo quarantine and sterilization of any Nomad organisms on my person or ship. I returned to normal within the hour but the encounter was rather spooky.

Also, the two Nomads were named "Nomadian" and "Mercury." If picked up on scanners, they should be eliminated with prejudice.

"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."

That's a great news! And you all know we need good news. Especially after what we are experiencing in Rheinland...
We shouldn't actively seek conflicts with AW and start any kind of hostilities in Theta, but if they dare to order us to leave when we are attacking Outcasts, our sworn enemies, we have the right to explain them to leave us alone. And yes, if they refuse, they'll recieve plasma biscuits. Congratulations on the destruction of the Valgrind. I have some info from BSG that he's the kind of a gunboat pilot that shouldn't be underestimated.
But brothers, don't get distracted to much, we're fighting to keep our base of operations in Sigma 13. I wan't everybody, who's capable of flying the Titan, fully armed and ready on Yanagi Depot tomorrow.
Pedro Maniaco out.

Brother, I am glad you are very well aware of the risks involved when getting in contact with any Nomad. We currently have one brother in quarantine in the Crete's hospital. He's undergoing an unknown mutation and some parts of his body are turning blue. He was well known for visiting nomad systems frequently in order to collect their guns. He's not responding to any form of communication any more. I am afraid we'll have to terminate him soon to prevent the infestation from spreading among the rest of the Corsairs.
We are currently discussing it with the rest of Elders but it may result in ordering all brothers to get rid of any Nomad weaponry and equipment they have mounted on their Titans. We know that their guns are energy-efficient, but the risk is simply too high!
Today, Brother Lucendez and myself underwent weapons testing and ship refit. We cleared Yaren space of Bounty Hunter and Nomad forces. After a couple of hours, when Lucendez had already left, Tripoli's radar detected a Mercenary contact. I patrolled the system until I finally located it, and asked its pilot, Proserpine[Merc], to leave in peace. He replied negatively, and stated that 'he had a job to complete'. Shortly after, the gunboat powered up its weapons, I engaged the afterburners at just the right time, preventing my Titan from being immediately destroyed. After several attempts to damage the ship, I realized I couldn't deal an effective amount of damage, neither could he, so the fight was in a stalemate for a few minutes until one of our gunboats launched from Crete. Apricot, who had already engaged Proserpine in the past, didn't hesitate to send a Cerberus barrage and finish off his shields, after which the mercenary turned to engage him. The battle lasted little more than a minute, after which I finished what was left of the scum.
My commendations to our brother, Apricot, for providing vital support in the battle with the merc ship. I hope this doesn't deviate our attention from RM, instead, I hope it inspires us and shows as all the value of teamwork and unity.

Well, as you can probably guess... I'm angry. For what reason? Well, the TBH and SCRA have practically lost this war from what I've seen in reports. I've just finished going over flying strategic planning, and you know what? I found something wrong with it. You pilots have skill, in some places, so it's not that. Want to know what is causing your losses? YOU DO NOT LISTEN TO YOUR COMMANDERS! Yes, you heard me right. YOU DO NOT LISTEN. I spoken with Manaico, I've spoken with Montoya, and now Ares comes to me saying the exact same thing. YOU DO NOT LISTEN! I would lead this wing myself! But I've been assigned to Crete and remain there in it's protection while you run off to Rheinland.
I believe you should of figured this out on your own by now. BUT you must work as a team, not go running around the battle saying "I wanna kill Meric! I wanna kill Erich!". NO! It doesn't work like that in war gentlemen.
So now my final word, START LISTENING! If you commander gives you an order, FOLLOW IT, whether you like it or not. Varnava out

Comm ID: Pedro Maniaco, aboard flagship Altaneria RED ALERT
Brothers!
We lost our Base of operations in Sigma 13. Those bastards Junkers got scared and they cancelled our deal. We are to leave Yanagi Depot within one hour. We have already started to regroup last remains of our battle group and move it back to Gamma.
I need all still operable ships to stay behind and cover our retreat. Our scouts have discovered a great Rheinland Military fleet following us. I need everyone to gather near Atka Research Station [tonight at 22GMT] and engage every Rheinland vessel that enters Sigma 17. We must stop them from following us back to Gamma, that would be a great disaster.
We lost this war, but one day, when we rebuild all lost ships and recruit more brothers to replace those we lost in this war, we'll be back, I am sure of that.
Long live the Corsairs! Long live the Brotherhood!
worst messages probably spread fast and you already know we lost the war in Rheinland.
I decided to stay aboard Altaneria until the end. Someone has to distract the Rheinland forces while the rest of brothers are retreating and I must do it as I feel responsible for the loss of all lives during this war. We can loose no more.
I have been reviewing my past life and now I know I would have changed many things especially not leaving you on your own in the boardind-school after your mother died. Ever since then I always put the Brotherhood on the first place, leaving you behind all the time. I was wrong and I feel so sorry.
But you are a grown woman now and you have to grab your life with your own hands. I am sending you the access codes to the ships I have left, the Zumbador, the Bombardero, the Canonera and the Cazadora. My Titan was lost during the last fight.
Don't hesitate to ask any of the Elders or Brothers for help if you need one. I am sure they'll to their best.
