I am reporting in after meeting up Guildmaster Kirigiri of the Independant Miners Guild.
The IMG are willing to assist us with Operation Armageddon and wish to use it as a
distraction to launch a secondary assault at the same time.
Their aim is to destroy the very station Bretonia started this war with IMG over; Aland Shipyard.
When I mentioned we'd need more numbers to pull this off succesfully, they suggested we contact both
Mollys and the Gallic Crown; each aiding a different assault further composed of combined IMG and Order forces.
Guildmaster Kirigiri will reach out to both the Mollys and the Gallic Crown to ensure their
involvement but has requested we provide several automated transports filled with
explosives to strike at the stations breaking points while their forces are preoccupied.
I would like to request we proceed with this course of action; even if Aland survives the assault
its damage will no doubt ensure it remains out of commission for the foreseeable future.
Additionally, a few automated transports wouldn't risk any of our pilots.
As luck would have it, contact with the Corsair Empire has started to pick up as well.
I believe we could negotiate passage for the transports without too much hastle,
ensuring a much safer path for them to the Omega's.
I have included the audio logs of the meeting for your review.
[26.04.2019 18:41:34] IMG|Nightwitch: Kombanwa.
[26.04.2019 18:41:37] Order|Solandros: Xan: Greetings
[26.04.2019 18:42:25] Order|Solandros: Xan: I take it you're Kirigiri Kyoko?
[26.04.2019 18:42:57] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: Precisely. A pleasure to meet you in a more peaceful surrounding, agent.
[26.04.2019 18:43:16] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: I hope i did not make you waiting for too long.
[26.04.2019 18:43:37] Order|Solandros: Xan: The sentiment is mutual. I don't believe we've much of a chance to talk during the assault on Aland
[26.04.2019 18:43:53] Order|Solandros: Xan: Not at all, I only arrived a while ago myself
[26.04.2019 18:44:37] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: Unfortunately. It was the time for our guns to speak, and the space was filled with most... unpleasant entities.
[26.04.2019 18:44:55] Order|Solandros: Xan: Quite so. Speaking of which, shall we get down to business?
[26.04.2019 18:45:17] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: We should, indeed.
[26.04.2019 18:45:44] Order|Solandros: Xan: The Order has been monitoring the situation in the Omega-3 system ever since the fall of Gran Canaria
[26.04.2019 18:46:14] Order|Solandros: Xan: It a sense, if the planet hadn't fallen, we likely wouldn't have been present to help you fight off the initial assault
[26.04.2019 18:46:28] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: Bretonian imperialism have escalated fast.
[26.04.2019 18:46:52] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: And we both know who taught them how to properly utilise it.
[26.04.2019 18:47:45] Order|Solandros: Xan: Indeed. As Aland fell, I remained and continued to keep an eye on the situation as it developed.
[26.04.2019 18:48:31] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: I never thought i'd see Crayter and Core warships literally protecting the same station.
[26.04.2019 18:48:49] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: However.
[26.04.2019 18:49:10] Order|Solandros: Xan: Cores involvement was no surprise, I'll admit Crayters presense however threw me off, as it no doubt did to you as well.
[26.04.2019 18:49:15] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: Trying to take Aland back is no longer considered a viable option.
[26.04.2019 18:50:02] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: Thus, we shall finish Andaman have started.
[26.04.2019 18:50:15] Order|Solandros: Xan: I doubt Bretonia would let it slip through its greedy claws, let alone leave it alone afterwards.
[26.04.2019 18:50:39] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: I have no delusional ideas of the matter resolving peaceful now.
[26.04.2019 18:50:51] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: Neither i can allow them to have it in their hands.
[26.04.2019 18:51:06] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: Aland has to be blown into oblivion.
[26.04.2019 18:51:09] Order|Solandros: Xan: Ah? IMG wishes to destroy the station?
[26.04.2019 18:51:24] Order|Solandros: Xan: An unexpected development, but one that would hurt Bretonia quite a lot.
[26.04.2019 18:51:41] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: I don't care about Bretonia for a slightest moment.
[26.04.2019 18:52:08] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: If that's what it takes for them to realise their mistake - so be it.
[26.04.2019 18:52:13] Order|Solandros: Xan: Crayterians then?
[26.04.2019 18:52:43] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: Who cares about Crayter. They are still deliberately trying to denounce us.
[26.04.2019 18:53:23] Order|Solandros: Xan: Indeed. Ideally the Order would assist you in retaking the station, but as you said, that seems highly unlikely.
[26.04.2019 18:53:50] Order|Solandros: Xan: Though in this case, I'm fairly confident we can help eachother.
[26.04.2019 18:54:12] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: We will need explosives. A lot of them. And a few well-armored transports.
[26.04.2019 18:54:33] Order|Solandros: Xan: The Order wishes to strike a damaged Bretonian carrier currently patroling around Alands. It came too close to Falsters.
[26.04.2019 18:54:34] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: Make sure they're not some valuable assets, as they'll likely be lost.
[26.04.2019 18:55:20] Order|Solandros: Xan: If we take care of that, I'm fairly sure the Order battlegroup nearby would be free to aid in the assault, as well as
[26.04.2019 18:55:26] Order|Solandros: Xan: provide the needed explosives.
[26.04.2019 18:55:46] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: We should simply target the station at it's breaking points. Perhaps, set a decoy attack on the other side of the-
[26.04.2019 18:55:49] IMG|Nightwitch: -system.
[26.04.2019 18:56:15] Order|Solandros: Xan: We'd trust on your knowledge of the base to provide those breaking point locations.
[26.04.2019 18:56:57] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: They will be provided to the engineering teams programming the transports' autopilot systems.
[26.04.2019 18:57:08] Order|Solandros: Xan: Hmm...I wonder how ambitious it would be to do both strikes at once.
[26.04.2019 18:57:17] Order|Solandros: Xan: The assault on the carrier being the distraction at the same time.
[26.04.2019 18:57:35] Order|Solandros: Xan: it would definitely be a surprise they wouldn't see coming.
[26.04.2019 18:57:38] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: We could do that.
[26.04.2019 18:57:58] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: Take a couple of our own armored transports and distract them with attacking the carrier.
[26.04.2019 18:58:12] IMG|Nightwitch: While The Order will sabotage Aland.
[26.04.2019 18:58:20] Order|Solandros: Xan: Losing a carrier, as well as their stolen shipyard. If anything, there is some poetic justice there.
[26.04.2019 18:58:34] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: A well deserved justice.
[26.04.2019 18:59:46] Order|Solandros: Xan: Hmm, I think will be doable. Though the squadrons should be mixed. The Order intends to board the carrier and jetison
[26.04.2019 18:59:47] Order|Solandros: the crew
[26.04.2019 19:00:17] Order|Solandros: Xan: What happens to them, well. We'd set the escape pods to nearby stations, but we have no intention of guarding them
[26.04.2019 19:00:17] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: We can arrange that. Perhaps, even disguise Order marines with our transports.
[26.04.2019 19:00:30] Order|Solandros: Xan: Sounds promising. We might need more numbers though.
[26.04.2019 19:00:55] Order|Solandros: Xan: Does IMG have any allies nearby besides the Hessians? I hear they're preoccupied with a siege.
[26.04.2019 19:01:18] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: I believe i can convince other Guildmasters that we should give it a shot.
[26.04.2019 19:01:23] Order|Solandros: Xan: Preferably one with a hatred for the Bretonian Armed Forces
[26.04.2019 19:01:37] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: I know the perfect candidates.
[26.04.2019 19:01:43] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: The Gallic Crown.
[26.04.2019 19:02:05] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: Would The Order tolerate working along with them this once?
[26.04.2019 19:02:07] Order|Solandros: Xan: Ah? They'd operate this far in the Omega's?
[26.04.2019 19:02:26] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: Under intelligence transponders - they definitely could.
[26.04.2019 19:02:48] Order|Solandros: Xan: *laughs* I'll give you this much, it's definitely ambitious
[26.04.2019 19:02:51] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: Their participation might be arranged.
[26.04.2019 19:03:03] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: Harsh times take harsh measures to be utilised.
[26.04.2019 19:03:20] Order|Solandros: Xan: We tend to contact local underworld factions ourselves, but if you feel the Galic Crown would be more helpful
[26.04.2019 19:03:33] Order|Solandros: Xan: I suppose I could relay a message to the Overwatch
[26.04.2019 19:04:02] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: We could also patch Mollys in, but they might be unwilling to work side by side with the Crown.
[26.04.2019 19:04:52] Order|Solandros: Xan: Then I suggest I contact the Overwatch first and let their answer decide who we contact? At least I assume IMG is fine
[26.04.2019 19:04:55] Order|Solandros: working with either?
[26.04.2019 19:05:43] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: I would prefer the Crown to participate, but Mollys have been of great help as the Aland crisis unfolded.
[26.04.2019 19:06:06] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: Without their assistance we would've never deprieved Bretonia of Cardiff.
[26.04.2019 19:06:28] Order|Solandros: Xan: I will make mention of your preference, perhaps the Overwatch will want to take this chance to improve ties with Galia
[26.04.2019 19:06:42] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: We might not inform Mollys of the Crown involvement and direct their attacks to the different locations.
[26.04.2019 19:07:33] Order|Solandros: Xan: Hm. That could work, as long as the paths dont cross.
[26.04.2019 19:07:39] Order|Solandros: Xan: We wouldn't want to risk infighting
[26.04.2019 19:07:55] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: Even so, the infighting is unlikely to happen.
[26.04.2019 19:08:09] Order|Solandros: Xan: I admit, a combination of IMG and Order forces on both sides
[26.04.2019 19:08:10] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: Due to the goal bringing them there.
[26.04.2019 19:08:19] Order|Solandros: Xan: Aided by Mollys on one front, and the Crown on the other
[26.04.2019 19:08:24] Order|Solandros: Xan: Does sound pretty formidable.
[26.04.2019 19:08:48] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: Definitely more formidable than a crippled carrier and a few capital assets at Aland.
[26.04.2019 19:09:08] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: Along with whatever reinforcements Bretonia might be able to muster.
[26.04.2019 19:09:18] Order|Solandros: Xan: Indeed. A small force would have to ensure the tradelanes remain down, in order to keep those reinforcements to a minimum
[26.04.2019 19:09:28] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: Even so, we might delay their arrival significantly.
[26.04.2019 19:09:36] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: You literally took this off my tongue
[26.04.2019 19:09:41] Order|Solandros: Xan: *laughs* It seems we think alike
[26.04.2019 19:09:53] Order|Solandros: Xan: You might have what it takes to make a fine Order Agent
[26.04.2019 19:10:26] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: Perhaps one day... but for now - my Guild needs me.
[26.04.2019 19:10:34] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: I think you understand.
[26.04.2019 19:10:38] Order|Solandros: Xan: All too well
[26.04.2019 19:11:29] Order|Solandros: Xan: Alright. This meeting has been very enlightening. Not to mention I think we came up with quite the efficient plan.
[26.04.2019 19:11:37] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: Indeed.
[26.04.2019 19:12:11] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: I will contact the relevant parties to get the force brewing up against the Bretonia.
[26.04.2019 19:12:18] Order|Solandros: Xan: I'll return to Freeport 5 and contact you once I receive word back from the Overwatch as well.
[26.04.2019 19:12:24] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: Once they respond - i will let you know of the results.
[26.04.2019 19:12:32] Order|Solandros: Xan: Bretonia will pay for what it has done.
[26.04.2019 19:13:07] Order|Solandros: Xan: Safe flights. And with a bit of luck, we'll soon have some good news for each other.
[26.04.2019 19:14:00] IMG|Nightwitch: Kyoko: Likewise. Farewell, agent.

Excellent work, Captain.
I am willing to accept all risks related to be seen fighting shoulder to shoulder with Gallia against our common enemies. I am practical man and The Order under my administration is going to utilize the opportunities it is given. All in all, gains far outweigh the risks. Should Council or Crayterians protest, I will handle them myself and remind them they did nothing to halt the annexation of Aland. The Order at least tried.
I have one and only one question towards the IMG. Given the Aland was in Guild’s hands for many years and know layout, structure and weak points due to not only construction of the shipyard in the first place, they will need to provide specifics for the demolition squad. We will need to know what tonnage and how many points we need to strike in order to bring down or at least cripple the shipyard. If we have to resort to fire-ships (marvelous example of IMG ingenuity, I have to admit), cheapest solution would be expendable spaceships ranging from 1k to 2k rating.
Once they feed in the crucial data into the equation, we will know how many transports will need to be outfitted and automated for kamikaze mission. I have made preparations to secure sufficient quota of payload. Junkers of Kreuzberg do not need to know nor they ever ask questions.
