Doc appears tired, angry and he's in his old gunslinger attire
So let me get this straight. Both of you are going to hold the Zoner people of Gran Canaria hostage while you sit here and senselessly bombard the surface. Maybe death is a way of life for you both but it isn't ours. Zoners came here to get away from the repressive governments we all left. Maybe you won't listen to some of the people on this channel but I know you will consider what I say.
Your war is only making this worse. I personally don't give a damn if you want to make scrap metal for the Junkers to collect of each other nor will most of us honor this "martial law." I work for a living. If I want a late night walk to a tavern, I'll damn well take it! Just try arresting me! What I'm not in a fighter cockpit I more than make up for on the ground.
Did it ever occur to you that, Corsairs, that the very reason the Coalition stays in the area is because of your presence? And, Coalition, did you ever think the same? I've been to these areas that have been bombarded. Congratulations both of you for slaughtering women and children who had nothing to do with this. Yes, yes, I know. "They were Corsairs" or "They were Revolutionaries." I saw the dead, dying and severely wounded for myself.
Seriously, just go home and let us clean up the mess you've made. There's plenty of open space for you all to fight in!
We have met before, and it would not be the first time for me to utter my respect towards you.
You are a well known doctor who dedicates his life to helping the injured , the less fortunate.
I have noticed it is almost if you believe in life , as if it is a deity you worship.
How different we are , yet how similar.
Recent events have changed this conflict into something bigger for many of us.
Santa Muerte spoke her blessing over our soldatos.
She is appearing out of nowhere , rallying the troops.
It is her will that we battle at Gran Canaria , I believe our Elder felt it.
Our sacrifice will be rewarded.
Every drop of Corsair blood spilled , will ensure a brighter future for Gran Canaria.
Until the last SCRA ship disintegrates into pieces.
It is Santa Muerte's will that we drive the treacherous Coalition away from these holy grounds comañero...
So every person can live in peace on Gran Canaria and enjoy it's splendor.
Your people are not our enemy.
We forgive them for their hospitality has been abused by the brutes we came to slay.

Gentlemen, I urge you to allow me to leave this place. I have delicate information that I MUST share with the world. Let me explain. I'm a reporter, and I was contracted to record and commentate on the various war zones occupying this planet. That's when I found her. The mythical "Valkyrie", strutting the city past daylight hours. I know how much a good paparazzi shot is worth nowadays on a character like that, so I followed her.
Anyway, we all know what happened next, thanks to Pepe "El Comisario" Ladron. I've got it all recorded, I promise you, and I guarantee this video is worth a fortune. I will gladly share my riches with whoever safely escorts me off of this living hell. Until then, I remain anonymous.

Several hours ago, the SCRA Task-Force stationed in Omega-49 quietly withdrew. It was hoped that without our presence, the Corsairs would cease their attacks on civilian targets. I would like to clarify that the only Coalition settlement that existed was a Bretonian Refugee Camp that was destroyed on first contact.
Any further bombardments are hitting targets that have no affiliation to the SCRA. In short, despite the claims made by the Corsairs, they are indeed waging war on a civilian populace.
Furthermore, these accusations that the SCRA continues to engage in war crimes makes me red with rage. We bombarded one target which we believed to be a Corsair Military Base. When we discovered that it was indeed a civilian settlement, we immediately ceased all orbital strikes and withdrew the Havana.
To continue to imply that we are committing war crimes against the civilians of Omega-49 is to spit in the face of everything the Sirius Coalition holds true and quite simply, a lie.
I hope it has become apparent to all of you too blind to have seen before that the Corsairs are simply trying to conquer Omega-49. Despite our efforts in trying to warn you of this, you have opted to play the Ostrich. One merely has to see through their facade of their "crusade" against the SCRA to know that it is merely justification for your oppression.
The SCRA will continue to do what it can, but we will not continue to shed our blood if the only result is us being made out to be the enemy by the inhabitants of this world.
*Captain Toan Varcona looks around at the mess around him*
Greetings Fellow Zoners of OSI and TAZ:
Captain Toan Varcona of the Space Exploration Force Transmitting:
We have just returned from a deep space mission to find our home is a warzone,
I have reports from the S.E.F~Voyager, aswell as S.E.F~Erec~Vakarian that things are a total mess down there on the surface, we are not a militaristic force at all, we offer our support for Gran Canarias Inhabitants, In the form of medical Aid emergency supplies and any other non combat aid we can provide , My flagship the S.E.F~Calnus also stands ready to deploy aid Via Shuttles at a moments notice The Calnus is a Nephilim Class Colony ship and will offer its respective facilities to provide aid where needed
There is large amounts of space onboard should we have to evacuate the planet incase of nuclear poisoning along with sufficient medical and food supplies to sustain a large population for a few years
As I am transmitting this one of my transport captains is working around the clock to provide relief efforts to assist Doctor Holliday in any way he can, he has already delivered 3405 metric tonnes of medical supplies.
I hope all of you are in good health
Safe skies in these hard times
Varcona

So, it's the red again.
You call us monsters but you devour civilians?
You call us war criminals but you delivered ground forces on the planet before we reached it?
Our forces are down there to clear you out of there.
Our forces are securing the Athene, it's location is still unknown to you, thanks to our friends in the OSI.
Get your sitting bag out of here and we'll get out too, you are turning this planet into a warzone.

Hello.
The Vagrant Raiders will be conducting humanitarian missions to Gran Canaria to deliver relief supplies and to take severely injured civilians to medical facilities both on and off the planet.
I hereby request a treaty of non-aggression in the Omega-49 system be signed between the SCRA and the Vagrant Raiders, and between the Corsair Brotherhood and the Vagrant Raiders, for the duration of the current conflict. We have no intent to cause harm to anyone who does not cause harm to us.

Ahh, you revolutionaries. You say you are for the people yet you never truly uphold anything do ya?
I had a good deal with a local friend who I shall not name- I was going to come by picking up you and the sairs' military scraps daily- we were gonna make a fortune which we would use to improve the living conditions of our sla-crews, for equality.
Yet just several days from the conflict, and you back out? I'm halfway to Omega 49 already, who's gonna pay for the expenses? Don't you know that backing out is precisely what those Corsairs want you to do? What about the people of Gran Canaria, the civilians?
And to think there was finally gonna be a safe, reliable source of military grade scrap. *sighs* Back to the liberty and Rheinland border with us then. This is so disappointing.
*Transmission Ended*
No atmosphere? GTFO.
The propeller is the greatest invention of all time.
Leave and never return. Gran Canaria is well capable of removing that pathetic collection of ductaped and malfunctioning ships that Brotherhood uses to call a fleet. You are just looking for an excuse to move in back again.
As to this "Ladron"... Seems obesity in society with such scarcity of food is no longer an abomination? Those Corsairs are indeed happy - sort of - with bloody smile from ear to ear rendered by combat knive. Trust me, they did not suffer long unlike civilians you attack on daily basis. As for sexist jokes... you are compensating for something?
Senores, the Brotherhood has decided not to use nuclear solutions, bio toxic weapons or plasma weapons against the ground units on GC.
In our agreement with OSI we are going to shoot only SCRA units but with machine gun shells.
The shells are not so powerful and should not cause damage.
They are tracing IFF signals and hunting down SCRA units on the ground.
OSI has over watched Cazadora as we rained shells from above, the hits were 100% SCRA units.
As the OSI can confirm, the Brotherhood did not kill any civilians, our fire is precise.
The only nukes used are the ones who were on open terrains.
The SCRA destroyed a whole civilian settlement and look at the pain they brought to your people, to your home world, now may I ask again, will you take a stand against their tyranny or will you be slaves of the reds?!
The Brotherhood stands in orbit to protect Gran Canaria from SCRA invaders.
As for you Valkyrie, you can only seem to kill soldiers of the Empire on the ground, not in space.
Is there something wrong?
