Frau Dagon.
I appreciate the gesture. But my rise to power has no bearing on our.. partnership. In fact it means quite the opposite, if there's ever a time I'm going to need good counsel and a steady stream of unbiased information, it's now. My goals haven't changed since we last spoke, it's just that I've taken a more proactive approach in regards to achieving them, which I'm sure you understand.
I'm the Field Marshal not the Premier, not stepping into politics just yet, I've been placed in command of our military. Your advice is still received and understood, I'll work something out.
Was there anything else or was this a social call?

Lukas,
While I do appreciate your candor and idealism that you maintain about your part in the Coalition, you command the armies of it. The Eye, the Premier, the Commissars and the Duma will all be looking at you, the weaponized arm, the iron fist, of the People. And they are looking for your buttons per se. Your weaknesses.
As all politics, they will resort to methods unbecoming to leaders, so that they can steer you in a path more compliant to their plans. With that said, Kira Bom-Sol.
The action you took shows a clear.. commitment. Not only to what you believe but to her as well. She is a liability to your agenda and to yourself, especially now at this point.
For me, there is only one solution.
The only one that will make sure that she cannot be used against you.
So no, Lukas. This is not a social call.
Regards,

You make a point.
A point I can't ignore, not even if I tried. I have every intention of keeping her in my life and keeping her secured from the decisions I make and the actions I take. Which is exactly why I need you, a concerned third-party on my side. I'm almost afraid to ask.
But what are you planning on doing?

Lukas,
The dead tell no tales, tell no lies and hold no secrets.
So Death is the only viable answer.
So that we can create life. My plan is to arrange for dupes for Ms. Bom-Sol and her son. I will arrange such. What I need from you and Ms. Bom-Sol is a decision of what path to take. My advice? As far as possible. Keep them close to your heart and far away from you.
But ultimately it is your decision. I can adjust accordingly. Be it a new name in New Moscow, or a new face in Freeport Six. Paths are endless, yet each and one of them has a cost for you and Ms. Bom-Sol.

This is a decision that comes with great weight.
Having said that, it's obvious it's not a decision I can take alone. I'll need to talk to her and work out what's best, not just for myself. I'm well aware of the usage of fear and pressure of my own Coalition. And while I might be able to handle my own people in an open setting, things are rarely ever that straight-forward, having been Krsnik for what feels like an eternity, I know better than to believe in the feeling of safety.
I'm certain of one thing, I don't want her anywhere near New Moscow. I'd love to have her by my side, but New Moscow isn't for her and I feel she'd dislike the place regardless. I intend to give myself some free time soon, enough to slip away for the better half of a day unnoticed. Once her and I talk through this, I'll let you know exactly what our course of action is going to be.
I lack anything better to say except.. thank you.

Lukas,
You are the Field Marshall of the Coalition.
Half a day is suicide at this point. You have not consolidated your position or your power. And be certain that eyes are upon you.
Arrange a.. meeting with Bretonian officials within Freeport One. SIS, Bretonian Government, Armed Forces, up to you and the politics therein.
I suggest you summon me as well. More control over the situation if need be. If questioned why me, answer that my story with the Coalition is long and bloody. Meeting me is an excelent chance to size me up as it were. I will contact Ms. Bom-Sol if you agree with this solution.
And as for the thank you, Lukas.. None needed.
We are monsters and tools. But I have found that we do need more than belief to function properly. Loved ones, while a liability, do make us more resolute in our path.

Kaze.
I've caught a glimpse of something you should 'address' in due course of time. Apparently a branch of the Order has involved itself on a political level in our theater of Omega-49. They have every intention of strong-arming your men out of the system and killing them if they have to. They believe you to be the sole problem. As always, they are indirectly snuggling up to the bosoms of their long-standing Corsair "compadres".
Massacre this upstart with impunity. They'll do the same to you if given the chance. And any indirect friends of the Corsairs are no friends of mine. I leave the ultimate choice of how these amateur interventionists are dealt with up to you. I would prefer if they stopped meandering in our shared backyard and presuming themselves to somehow have enough authority here to question me.
With all that's at stake, we can't afford to allow a collection of selfish idealists to halt progress because they want to feel good about themselves and defend the ever so innocent zoners. As far as I'm concerned, the annexation can only be blamed on the Zoners and their propensity to share their homes with an assortment of degenerates.
From my side, I can keep you informed of developments. And before I forget, happy new year.

Lukas,
I share your.. point of view when it comes to these fake 'idealists'. Instead of applying their strength in what their supposed mission entails, they decide to play politics. And I abhor politicians. As it stands, its not the first incursion of them against our forces in Omega-49. Not that it matters.
We will continue to take care of them, promptly, and remove the corsairs and its supporters.
Should I expect you will order your forces to stand aside in future combat situations?

Kaze.
The Coalition has a vested interest in seeing the Corsairs deprived of a supply-point. To this end, I'll keep my men in line. If any do so happen to disregard standing orders, then kill them as well. I'll have them disavowed for insubordination and personally see to the rectification of such misbehavior. Nothing changes.
I'd like to see this system rid of drivel by the end of the new year.
