While the Xenos and the Libertonian Government do not always see eye to eye, I think you'll find what I'm about to discuss will actually put you and me on the same side. I'm sure you're aware of the Rheinlandic degenerates who now and then make themselves a nuisance in Texas and Bering, the Unioners.
Both them and the separatists do pose a risk to the security of the Libertonian mainland. It's not just jobs that are at risk anymore, lives are at risk. The Unioners will no doubt gun down the transport vessels of our corporations and flood the black market with whatever they can get their hands on, meanwhile Harmony, who seeks to expunge infestation, as they so often love to declare, have aligned themselves with a political infection.
I have a proposition for you. There are obviously gaps in what we can deploy to kill these pirates and traitors, combat nuances trained pilots aren't experienced in handling. You would pose an irregular and highly unpredictable resistance force to this blatant proxy of Rheinland's continued disdain for our Nation.
The better you perform in putting down Harmony and Unioner ships, the more supplies will be "lost" to your movement.
So, Knights of Labour. Do we have an accord? Or are you going to let the working men you're sworn to protect die because you're too short-sighted to see that our goals currently intersect?
Well now, this is interesting indeed. We'll play ball, but further is required.
Our squadrons based on the Rheinland border to assist with the war effort with Rheinland have been moved elsewhere; we will require the patrol patterns for a to be determined date in order to insure they can be re-deployed without issue. We assume that will be no issue for you spooks.
On the topic of performance, is the Movement to be used as bounty hunters paid per kill or is this a more casual arrangement? What supplies are being offered? Are you willing to use a drop-off point of our choosing?
By performance I mean that you'll be reporting back to this channel to confirm that our agreement is being honoured. Each kill guarantees you a dead drop of supplies such as arms, ship components for maintenance of your vessels, fuel and other necessities for your pilots.
Pick a drop-off point, it really doesn't matter where as long as it isn't ridiculously far. If your performance proves invaluable in containing foreign threats such as this, I'll consider discreetly funding and assisting your movements with the construction of a dedicated fighter craft.
Lastly and most importantly, you can use the Kansas back door to get your fighters in the area quickly and quietly, patrols through the scrap cloud won't be a concern whatsoever.
The drop-off point will be a bay on Ames Research Station.
Forgive us if we doubt your more.. lofty promises but, either way, we think you'll be pleased with what the Serpentis Wing is capable of. We have all we need.
I'm updating our agreement with the following point.
Any transports you find supplying the separatists and by extension the filth they've come to associate with, are to be treated as hostile ships. You'd be doing your home a favour, regardless of whether people know about it or praise you for it.
Try to get me evidence of who these cargo vessels might belong to, I'm deeply curious how this rebellion is keeping itself afloat. I sincerely doubt they survive off of deals with the Unioners alone, that's just bad business. Never put all your eggs in one basket. Toppling their supply lines will be akin to severing the head, the body will die.
My word is iron, just don't give me a reason to break it.
As for the hefty moral blow, one Xeno Alliance phantom wing bomber pilot, one phantom wing fighter and one LNS Liberty Siege Cruiser forced the Harmony's flagship to dock while under protection of multiple high-quality weapons platforms and station based weaponry.
They are not safe on their doorstep surrounded by all the weaponry in the world. I think they've learned to stay in dry-dock or face destruction.
As much as it might pain me to say it, you've been doing decent work. I'll give the order for a discreet transfer of promised goods over to Ames post-haste, it'll be a mixed composition of goods deemed necessary or pertinent to your current progress, a care-package, if you will. Keep doing well and I'll keep ordering shipments.
This is the first of many potential shipments, packed with some things I'm sure you'll find are useful for you, guns with ammo to actually use them and a small bonus for keeping your morale up. The more quality work you do, the more quality goods I'll send you, and believe me when I say that there are certain things you'll be surprised by.
Keep it up and remember that you're doing your Home a service.
Your first shipment has been received and appropriated to various installations. It will certainly help the Movement.
On to business, another kill. Naval pilots neglected to deploy a cruise disruptor equipped vessel against the SNS-Arctique while it was invading New York. A defected Liberty Siege Cruiser found engaged with a heavily damaged spacecraft carrier, one Phantom wing pilot was able to keep it disrupted and tip the scales in the Navy's favor with anti-matter support.
Interestingly enough, it was accompanied by multiple Coalition capital-class vessels ranging from destroyers to battle-cruisers. One of them was finished by our pilot. Regrettably, scans were incomplete as we entered an extremely active conflict with little time to react.
