Tough decisions at tough times (//Open to entire CR)

[TheShooter36]

Aboard CFV-Olympia, Orbit of Pecos, Coronado, 1816 Crayter Standard Time

Fleet Admiral Xander moved through battered halls of Olympia, to the shuttle bay, just in case First Fleet commanders and pilots arrived. He seen fit necessary to call this fleet-wide and quorum-wide meeting to determine Crayter's further actions, as things over Omegas started to shape into a worrisome situation. His head was full of possibilities, How to act? How to proceed? What would be consequences of his and Fleet's actions, if went further and more aggressive? All the questions and more had to be answered, not only merely by Quorum or Fleet, but it was to be decided with both of them and even corporate and CIS directorates were invited to the meeting. It was not a mere tactical decision to be decided. The meeting's result could affect the future allegiances of the Republic. Perhaps even change the present allegiances...

As he rushed to the shuttle bay, his communicator beeped. It was Nav Officer calling. "Sir, we detected signatures matching small size Crayter vessels, approaching us, 11 clicks." "Good. Open the bay and let them dock with us." "Roger. Nav to Shuttle Bay, open the doors and let them in." Then Admiral Xander mumbled to himself and wondered who was inside the ships.

Sir, Warrant Officer Galanis, callsign "Wolfstar", reporting for duty.

I received a fleet wide transmission about an attack on the Zoners in Omega-49, is it true? Bretonia must be desperate to act so recklessly against an independent world. How will the fleet respond? I don't see how we have any other choice but to enter the conflict in some capacity on the side of the Zoners. Bretonia has been our steadfast ally, but these actions are nothing short of tyrannical! They fly in the face of everything the Republic stands for.

If the fleet is not going to act militarily, I would request that I be temporarily assigned to the Colonial Movers and allowed to evacuate refugees as well as run supplies and munitions to any resistance on Gran Canaria.

Dr. Doreen Naggar reporting.
For me, this is personal. I made my life amongst the Zoners in Gran Canaria while I interned with Med Force Enterprises and later served as chief resident at Canaria Medical. Worse still, I heard about the assault on Tombstone and now Bretonia is taking over Gran Canaria?
She starts getting angry
They couldn't stop Kusari and since Gallia is taking there home planet by planet they decide to encroach upon the Zoners? I find this sickening and cowardly!

I've never known Bretonia to be diplomatic so I see no point. Also, they have an alliance with one of our enemies, the Outcasts. I'm not one who advocates war but they are no better than the Gallics. Evacuating the planet and leaving it for Bretonia is acceptance. I find this to be unacceptable. I can have the Nightingale ready for combat as needed.
