⧫ ENCRYPTION: Order-EC[L] Patrol Report
Hail Overwatch.
My apologies for sending in another report so soon after the last, things have escalated quickly here in the system.
As I am required to act fast I will try to be as succinct as possible; Bretonia and IMG engaged in long standing peace negotiations under the
mediation of Auxesia. While the peace negotiations lasted extremely long, unfortunately no success was obtained and the two factions remain at war.
Additionally, an ALG vessel discussed how they were assisting the Order with a construction project in the Omicrons. While I was unware of any such project,
I figured it might be worth while including the logs of that discussion as well.
Due to these developments I request the Horus be stationed at Alands as soon as possible to prepare for the incoming hostilities.
[22.03.2019 18:08:17] [ALG]-Erdbeben: Richter: Hail, Order vessel! Any news from the negotiators?
[22.03.2019 18:08:32] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: negative, though I went to check on the Bretonian troops
[22.03.2019 18:08:44] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: They all appear to have vanished. They're not at the Freeport or at Sprague
[22.03.2019 18:08:55] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: I've advised the negotiator to be on high alert.
[22.03.2019 18:09:37] [ALG]-Erdbeben: Richter: Well, not much we can do at the moment except remain on high alert.
[22.03.2019 18:10:06] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Agreed
[22.03.2019 18:10:20] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Should the Bretonians try something we'll be ready to move in
[22.03.2019 18:11:13] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: If I may ask, could you tell me a bit about your vessel?
[22.03.2019 18:11:30] [ALG]-Erdbeben: Richter: The Erdbeben?
[22.03.2019 18:11:43] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: I can't say I've seen its type before coming here
[22.03.2019 18:12:11] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: L: Negotiations are concluded. Bretonia has been given a timeframe to select an alternative or carry on.
[22.03.2019 18:12:16] [ALG]-Erdbeben: Richter: Well, it was ordered from Singapore shipyards by ALG, and after much political turmoil, delivered.
[22.03.2019 18:12:30] IMG|Kyoko.Kirigiri: We've given them an alternative.
[22.03.2019 18:12:35] [ALG]-Erdbeben: Richter: There's not a lot more I can say with certain....observers present.
[22.03.2019 18:12:35] BHG|Happy.Accident: That doesnt sound like peace.
[22.03.2019 18:12:40] IMG|Kyoko.Kirigiri: But they seem to be as blind as my dead brother.
[22.03.2019 18:13:03] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Does this mean the peace talks have taken another break and will resume in a moment?
[22.03.2019 18:13:09] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: L: No.
[22.03.2019 18:13:23] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: *sighs* Bretonia's 'alternative' is war. Disappointing.
[22.03.2019 18:13:26] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Still, you tried.
[22.03.2019 18:13:31] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: L: Bretonia was issued an ultumatum to choose one of the outlined alternatives or to progress with their plan.
[22.03.2019 18:13:46] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: L: We became aware of their fleet movements during negotiations, which have led us to the assumption that they'll attack.
[22.03.2019 18:13:52] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: L: Regardless of what's said.
[22.03.2019 18:13:59] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: We had similar suspicions
[22.03.2019 18:14:05] [ALG]-Erdbeben: Richter: It's ALG security division's flagship, and it is intended to train our personnel in capital ship combat.
[22.03.2019 18:14:09] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: L: Enjoy your fight. We're departing.
[22.03.2019 18:14:12] IMG|Kyoko.Kirigiri: Now, that your attempt have failed - i would request you to leave the vicinity of Aland.
[22.03.2019 18:14:15] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: I assume Auxesia will stay out of the conflict?
[22.03.2019 18:14:30] [ALG]-Erdbeben: There are Order technicians and tacticians onboard this vessel to assist us with our training.
[22.03.2019 18:14:31] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: L: Already leaving.
[22.03.2019 18:14:51] IMG|Kyoko.Kirigiri: Keeper Revenant. That applies to you as well.
[22.03.2019 18:14:54] IMG|Gervaegis-O: *sighs*
[22.03.2019 18:15:04] A/)-Revenant: Hm.
[22.03.2019 18:15:06] [ALG]-Erdbeben: Richter: What is the situation? Please give a brief summary of the talks.
[22.03.2019 18:15:16] IMG|Gervaegis-O: Keeper, we need some time for ourselves now.
[22.03.2019 18:15:21] A/)-Revenant: I'm aware.
[22.03.2019 18:15:21] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Ah I see, very interesting! They're pulling their weight I'm sure?
[22.03.2019 18:15:25] A/)-Revenant: Something is wrong here.
[22.03.2019 18:15:43] IMG|Gervaegis-O: I was talking to Admiral Steiner of the Armed Forces.
[22.03.2019 18:16:01] [ALG]-Erdbeben: Richter: Not only that, we consider this an important step in a further development of ALG's warfleet program.
[22.03.2019 18:16:16] IMG|Gervaegis-O: The Auxesians and myself tried to reach a peaceful compromise, but Steiner turned everything down.
[22.03.2019 18:16:40] IMG|Gervaegis-O: As it is now, our forces have agreed to an ceasefire of two hours.
[22.03.2019 18:16:46] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: "ALG, cleaning up Sirius' mess in more ways than one"?
[22.03.2019 18:17:02] IMG|Kyoko.Kirigiri: He preserved himself from being shot down on site.
[22.03.2019 18:17:15] IMG|Gervaegis-O: The Bretonian government stated that they would "think about it". My hopes are non-existant.
[22.03.2019 18:17:25] IMG|Kyoko.Kirigiri: That's good. We should not be the first ones to break the ceasefire.
[22.03.2019 18:17:26] IMG|Gervaegis-O: Sure.
[22.03.2019 18:17:27] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Some might say a missed opportunity, but it's important to keep the moral high ground.
[22.03.2019 18:17:29] [ALG]-Erdbeben: Richter: Very few consider the Nomad threat to be as serious as the Order and us, and our mutual allies, the Bundschuh.
[22.03.2019 18:17:39] IMG|Gervaegis-O: You're right.
[22.03.2019 18:17:56] IMG|Kyoko.Kirigiri: Our moral highground is here. We're on the defending side and they are the aggressors.
[22.03.2019 18:18:00] IMG|Kyoko.Kirigiri: It's as clear as the day.
[22.03.2019 18:18:08] IMG|Gervaegis-O: I tried, but I want to be honest, I do not expect things to become peacefull.
[22.03.2019 18:18:26] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Sadly true, and wars like this happening at our backs don't make for the best of circumstances for fighting the nomads.
[22.03.2019 18:18:30] IMG|Kyoko.Kirigiri: We should also remind Bretonia of their communique.
[22.03.2019 18:18:51] [ALG]-Erdbeben: Richter: If they turned down the counterproposal, I am not sure why a two hour ceasefire was agreed upon.
[22.03.2019 18:18:59] IMG|Gervaegis-O: They already turned our offer down though.
[22.03.2019 18:19:05] [ALG]-Erdbeben: It seems this would allow them to assemble a proper assault fleet.
[22.03.2019 18:19:11] IMG|Kyoko.Kirigiri: So the Steiner wouldn't get shot in place.
[22.03.2019 18:19:18] IMG|Kyoko.Kirigiri: I'd take care of this.
[22.03.2019 18:19:45] IMG|Gervaegis-O: There were ships of different parties around. Sorry, but if you don't mind, I'd like to get out of this alive.
[22.03.2019 18:20:10] IMG|Gervaegis-O: But if they can gather forces, so can we.
[22.03.2019 18:20:14] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Two can play that game though. If they intend to gather a fleet, I suggest IMG calls in their allies
[22.03.2019 18:20:16] IMG|Kyoko.Kirigiri: We'll not loose. And no unnecessary blood will be spilled.
[22.03.2019 18:20:18] [ALG]-Erdbeben: Richter: It certainly doesn't help things, no. Though I understand that we are still sparing ships for deliveries-
[22.03.2019 18:20:25] [ALG]-Erdbeben: of construction materials to the Order.
[22.03.2019 18:20:40] IMG|Kyoko.Kirigiri: Guildmaster, consider engaging the emergency plan should everything else fail.
[22.03.2019 18:20:48] BHG|Happy.Accident: What?
[22.03.2019 18:20:49] IMG|Kyoko.Kirigiri: You and me should be enough.
[22.03.2019 18:20:58] IMG|Gervaegis-O: As I see it, this is not about a shipyard anymore. It's for their greed, and our survival.
[22.03.2019 18:20:58] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Oh? The Order operates in many cells, One does not nececarely know of what the other is doing
[22.03.2019 18:21:17] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: I was unaware of any logistical operation being underway
[22.03.2019 18:21:21] IMG|Kyoko.Kirigiri: Wasn't it like this since the very beginning?
[22.03.2019 18:21:23] IMG|Gervaegis-O: Yes, the emergency plan...
[22.03.2019 18:21:35] IMG|Gervaegis-O: More or less, yes.
[22.03.2019 18:21:36] [ALG]-Erdbeben: Richter: There is a reconstruction effort underway in the eastern Omicrons by the Order, and we are assisting.
[22.03.2019 18:21:42] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Emergency plan? A contingency?
[22.03.2019 18:21:46] [ALG]-Erdbeben: I don't know much more than that.
[22.03.2019 18:21:56] IMG|Kyoko.Kirigiri: It's classified.
[22.03.2019 18:22:05] IMG|Gervaegis-O: But we lost many... Our survival is in fact threatened now.
[22.03.2019 18:22:29] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Hmm, I see. Probably around Epsilon or Omicron Sigma, well. Order construction is always a good thing.
[22.03.2019 18:22:30] [ALG]-Erdbeben: Richter: So is theirs. Our situation has not changed. The fortifications of Aland are intact.
[22.03.2019 18:22:40] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Fair enough.
[22.03.2019 18:22:49] RS-Uberlebende: Foulke: Guten tag everyone
[22.03.2019 18:22:57] [ALG]-Erdbeben: Richter: Good day, trader.
[22.03.2019 18:23:00] IMG|Gervaegis-O: Good day.
[22.03.2019 18:23:02] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Greetings
[22.03.2019 18:23:09] IMG|Kyoko.Kirigiri: Richter, there's a difference.
[22.03.2019 18:23:36] IMG|Kyoko.Kirigiri: The Guild's manpower nor resources can be compared to what Bretonia has.
[22.03.2019 18:23:42] IMG|Kyoko.Kirigiri: Even while New London is sieged.
[22.03.2019 18:23:53] IMG|Gervaegis-O: We can not fight them forever... We have to think about the future now. Calculate... with the future.
[22.03.2019 18:24:01] [ALG]-Erdbeben: Richter: The guild also doesn't have a planetary capital that is under siege.
[22.03.2019 18:24:07] IMG|Kyoko.Kirigiri: I don't like this idea either, but we might have to withdraw at some point.
[22.03.2019 18:24:23] IMG|Kyoko.Kirigiri: People's lives is what we should value over a single shipyard.
[22.03.2019 18:24:34] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Pardon my intrusion, but don't forget the guild doesn't stand alone. Bretonia is in a war of attrition.
[22.03.2019 18:24:38] [ALG]-Erdbeben: Richter: All of this was part of the original strategic discussions, which I was part of. Our decision should still stand.
[22.03.2019 18:24:40] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Every ship lost is gone for the count.
[22.03.2019 18:25:03] IMG|Gervaegis-O: I know. But they are still so many...
[22.03.2019 18:25:08] [ALG]-Erdbeben: Richter: We had not even considered the Order a factor, but they are here now without our request. We are in a solid position.
[22.03.2019 18:25:19] IMG|Kyoko.Kirigiri: Let no fear affect your heart, Guildmaster Yao.
[22.03.2019 18:25:21] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Speaking of which.
[22.03.2019 18:25:33] IMG|Kyoko.Kirigiri: Even with the numbers they have - we have still managed to repel their attacks.
[22.03.2019 18:25:38] IMG|Kyoko.Kirigiri: Each time they have tried.
[22.03.2019 18:25:42] IMG|Kyoko.Kirigiri: They have failed.
[22.03.2019 18:26:01] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Guildmaster, would you consider the talks a failure or a success? It determines what I mentioned earlier.
[22.03.2019 18:26:18] [ALG]-Erdbeben: Richter: We had our plans for their rejection. It is part of our strategic plan. We will repel them as we have before.
[22.03.2019 18:26:20] IMG|Gervaegis-O: Faillure.
[22.03.2019 18:26:32] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Understood. I will land and send the communication.
[22.03.2019 18:26:40] 2019-03-22 18:26:40 SMT Traffic control alert: Order|CV-Luxor has requested to dock
[22.03.2019 18:26:42] BHG|Happy.Accident: It sounds like this meeting was worse than fruitless.
[22.03.2019 18:26:45] IMG|Gervaegis-O: Thank you.
Captain Xander, signing out.
