People of Liberty, I hope you are all sitting down. It's time to reveal a shocking truth about the tyrants who claim to defend you from the dangers of untamed space. Long has Harmony claimed that increased measures needed to be set in place to safeguard against nomad infection within the ranks of the Navy. For our troubles we have been vilified and outcast, hunted by those we once sacrificed our lives to protect.
And yet, it would seem that the Navy has indeed managed to fall to infection once more. The so called 6th Fleet has openly revealed their status as infectees, and while we can only hope that it's not spread too far to contain, we fear the worst. Which is why we call upon you, the people, to rise up against this new nomad threat thats already taken root in your own homes.
Watch the Navy. Be ever alert for more signs of infection. Fight back against those who would see you enthralled and taken as slaves to the alien menace.

Remember those we lost during the Nomad War. We can not allow the mistakes of the past to happen anew.
It's always easy to flip the bird at the establishment,
You seem to believe that everyone in service to what the Republic truly embodies is blind, compromised and/or under the influence of subversive entities. I love my Republic, but I am not blind to its flaws, to the gross incompetence and short-comings of some of its servants, and while I'm on the record, you can be certain the individuals in question will be facing far more flak in the coming days.
You might have had a legitimate grievance in the past, but you've squandered it with treason and acts of violence against the very home you swore to protect. You can't save your home by trying to break it apart, I find it ironic really. You align yourselves with the fascist element that is notorious for promoting sentiments that not only go against the Republic's Forces, but the very lifestyles of its People. You claim to be protecting them, yet you steal from them, rob them, and fight the people who battle against a Rheinland-based Insurgency that promotes Imperialism? I'm truly curious, how does supporting the Unioners in their lust for power and greed help our people?
Idealism and politics don't go hand in hand, and you'll find that every word that comes out of your mouths has less meaning than it would have had a few months ago. It's only natural that your actions have without a doubt, become louder than every word in this missive.
As a citizen of the Republic myself, I'm ashamed you were my countrymen in the past, especially if this is your preferred method of fighting what you perceive as evils. The Republic isn't void of good people, and there are always those that will fight against every true enemy you mentioned. But with your current methods, you're more likely to kill those men than allow them to focus on the real problems by occupying them with your acts of piracy and supporting a Fascist regime.
You've lost touch with some degree of sense, I suggest you reacquaint yourself with it before you proclaim yourself the true protector of Libertonian Democracy, unless of course, looking like a double-standard endorsing fool is your true proclamation, wonderful work in that case. Though you could have been less dramatic about something so petty and already so obvious.
COMM ID:Admiral Alan Polstari, Liberty Navy 1st Fleet TARGET ID:Lieutenant Commander Lena Smith; CC: People of Liberty SUBJECT:RE: Your Propaganda ENCRYPTION:None PRIORITY:None
Greetings, Miss Smith et al.
On behalf of the Liberty Navy, thank you for this opportunity to discuss your treason and its ramifications.
I must say, I'm not sure who you hoped to convince with that little diatribe of yours. Yourself, perhaps? Any LSF operative would have been summarily dismissed from service for attempting to draw the conclusions you've conjured up from the uncontextualized audio snippet you provided. Is that really the only straw you have with which to cling to justify your treason? Pathetic.
You claim to fight the good fight, to stand for the common man of Liberty and to defend him from foes unseen; yet your allies belie your intent. Were you and the battle group to which you belong at least have ran to The Order, a hypocritical organization in its own right, at least I would have reason to think you actually intended to fight against a perceived Nomad threat; their efforts are supposedly directed towards the same goal, after all. Instead we find you ally with the following:
The Unioners
The Lane Hackers
The Liberty Rogues
Common Pirates
Truly an assortment of friends whose sole intent is the peace and prosperity of the Republic's citizens and their freedom from the supposed Nomadic threat you fear.
I think not.
When Liberty needs her navy the most in the face of Sirius' greatest threat since The Nomad War, instead we have you and the Harmony battle group fleeing from duty and consorting with terrorists, thieves, and murderers. When our focus should be on the encroaching threat of Gallia upon our borders, we must watch our backs against traitors in the heart of Liberty. It simply would not surprise me if you have also abased yourselves before the Gauls in an effort to seek their assistance; you've already sunk lower than trash as it stands.
You are a coward and fool, Lieutenant Commander Smith; all of you are. I offer one of two options to you and every member of the Harmony battle group.
Option one is that you surrender. Return Liberty's assets to her and stand trial before a general court-martial. All evidence will justly be considered, any supposed information regarding infections as well. You will serve the appropriated prison term, and you will live knowing you have regained a shred of honor in the uniform you once proudly wore.
Option two is far more straight forward. You die. All of you, every single member of your errant task force, hunted down and killed in combat or taken prisoner and justly tried and executed for the treason you continue to foster.
There are no alternatives, Miss Smith. I suggest you make your choice accordingly.
There are still people believing in the so-called 'Nomad War' and other cospiracy theories? Calm down, you freaking lunatics. Ich am not going to deny that Liberty currently sucks, but ich dount that paranoid loonies rolling around on the stolen battleship vill make it a better place. If you want to do something useful, just go and liberate Cortez from Crayternuts. They are mostly grouping around Coronado jumphole, if you don't know. Those freaks pose a real danger.

Wow, how furious you are. You're already paranoid, guys. I'm even ready to ask you a question: are you with such inadequate behavior the case of Wilde himself? And then you say something to us, but you yourself can be all infected.
So, okay. Now to the point. You have provided part of the negotiations. Let me give them completely:

In short, about what you said here... As usual: no evidence, except for another stupid propaganda. But thanks: first, because of you, I could not sleep all night, because I could not stop my laughter. Secondly, how quickly the main fleet responded! Listen, I've come up with an effective way to get an answer from them quickly.
And yes, about captain of LNS-Arctique... The person has got confused in him words. This is not a reason to call him infected. Michael Blackburn

So, the great Republic of Liberty is full with infected people? How about you tell us something new?
The Liberty Security Force Abschaum nor the Libertonian government will be able to fix this problems, maybe you understand now, why we had a war against Liberty.
It's been some time since I've taken a look at the common communication channel, however, thanks to the latest responses, your propaganda caught my attention.
Many months ago, while I was on duty, your colleagues tried to convince me with your common doctrine of conspiracy theories regarding the very military, especially the Navy, I served, to be infected. They told me to stop raising my guns at your fleet, to join you in your "righteous" combat. Handing me over a certain file that was called "propaganda" - which was already seeming to be suspicious by it's name alone.
While taking a look at your new Seperatist Information Bulletin, I recognized the same certain structure and system you, or your "Mastermind of Propaganda" are still using.
Cutting certain parts of audio files of different conversations, out of context and fusing them together to form a made up conversation to underline and support your futile attempts of creating "trustworthy", or rather "believeable evidence" of the Navy being infected doesn't seem to be working as good as you might have hoped, if it even worked at all.
Who are you trying to convince? Yourself?
Are your missguided motivation and reasons to harm the Liberty Navy slowly fading, so you continuously have to indoctrinate yourself with the made-up, botchy story of wrong accusations and lies, to strengthen your determination?
What are these motivations and reasons even made of?
Revenge? Disappointment and frustration?
A furious, blindening, deafening faith in the very conspiracy doctrine, that the leadership (and some of it's pilots) of the Navy is compromised and infected?
You wish to protect Liberty and it's citizens, but yet:
Everything you do is harming Liberty's economy and military strength - and therefore you are harming Liberty and it's citizens.
Biting the hand, that fed you from the the moment your were born, that protected and supported your life.
Stabbing the protectors of your home in the back, while they stand in all directions, repelling attacks and a possible incoming invasion by Gallia and supporting the law enforcments by fighting off criminals.
You are siding with Unioners and other criminals, basically everyone who is willing to support your made up crusade against what you once called home.
Do you think the Unioners have any right to claim Bering and Texas from Liberty? Do you want Liberty to lose control of both systems?
Supporting crime by siding with allies and supporters of those who smuggle Nomad Artifacts - which could include possible infections, Slaves - which is a major defiance against human rights and Cardamine - which is a threat to the citizens of Liberty - and the very coming generations of Liberty.
Remember that Liberty has never forsaken and abandoned you, nor casted you out. YOU were welcome, YOU were Liberty.
Instead YOU decided to seperate yourself from Liberty, YOU betrayed Liberty, YOUR very own home, that provided your shelter and protection.
What do you wish to accomplish by reaching your goal?
You are playing with fire, trying to burn down the wall around Liberty.
Not only that you try to expose Liberty to all it's enemies by that, but also the fire won't stop when the wall is burnt down. It spreads. It spreads to the very core of the city.
What are you going to protect, when all that remains of Liberty are ashes and ruins, and hostile forces plunder and claim everything that is left worthy to be taken. Do you wish to protect or do you wish to destroy Liberty?
Your fleet is called "Battlegroup Harmony". Whom do you bring harmony?
Not yourself, not us, not the citizens of Liberty.
Nomads speak of harmony, once everyone has become "their light", once the darkness, that is us, has been purged, cleansed.
This seperation of your fleet started with the treacherous attempt to take over control of the Liberty Navy, and Liberty's government by LSF Director Adenauer, who orginally hailed from Rheinland. So far nobody knew if she was just trying to secretly initiate an, how they in Rheinland say...ANSCHLUSS... of Liberty to Rheinland, or really infected. Or she had contact to infected; are you even sure that Miss Knight isn't infected, or in contact with anyone infected?
Don't you ever really question your "High Command", it's orders and it's motivations at all?
Seek the truth in your own ranks, search for infection and possible treachery there, for I am sure you will find it.
Who knows, maybe your "High Command" has already contacted the Gallic Crown regarding assistance and support in taking over Liberty.
I am pretty sure that Liberty is not full with infected people.
However, parts of the higher ranked commanders within Battlegroup Harmony, likely are.
Mentioning Battlegroup Harmony I would like to remind you about Rheinland's connection towards the very incident that caused the current problem.
Miss Eva Adenauer, born in Rheinland.
Aside from that, be wary of your words, they can be harmful for the yet fresh peace between Liberty and Rheinland.
The only reason why Rheinland has gone to war with Liberty were:
That your own military and leadership was likely infected.
Rheinland's economy was somewhere close to break down - because prepapring war efforts increase the economy.
Rheinland envied Liberty for it's technology - eventhough Liberty already handed over technology, also known as jumpgates and trade route installations.
Also. Rheinland lost one war, at the very edge of losing yet an other war with Liberty, Rheinland decided to finally go for peace negotiations.
Anyway. Don't you worry, Liberty will take care of any nomadic influences and presences within it's terrority. Rheinland however should try to clean it's own territory by finally ending the Unioner plague.
Just in case you needed a refreshment about the facts.

Made up facts?
I bid you a good day.
How comes you throw around accusations concerning infected personnel but only back it up with a single sentence of some Liberty Navy Captain? We all know some of them are mentally not the healthiest and show a considerable lack of intelligence at times.
While I am not fully aware what exactly encourages you to spread around "facts" with zero valid evidence, I suppose it is due to political and other certain differences with the Republic of Liberty. If you indeed find valid proof of possible or in fact infection within the Liberty Navy, act on your own behalf by terminating the target or if this is deemed impossible to your own people, go ahead and call out for me.
Take this as a reminder not to make up things when there is no proof to it at all.
