Greetings,
We monitor Zoner channels so we got the word. Accordingly, I dispatched one of my ship captains with our Q-ship to assist. Word is he has arrived and he and his crew are resting on Ames. He also told me the base in question is still there. The ship I sent has mortars so it has some much needed pop!
Cpt. West is capable. Once the mission is completed, I need them back. We are glad to be of assistance.
Alec Reed, head of Phoenix security and the defence fleet here.
Regrettably we are unable to spare any ships at this moment - all our vessels are currently tied up in our home system securing our colony as energy spikes surges throughout Omicron Sigma. Even so, our numbers stretches thin from our voyage and we cannot afford the luxury to despatch warships into house BorderWorlds. However, should your installation i.e Ames becomes under immediate hostile threat, then please do not hesitate to contact us and we will do what we can to assist in both milita and diplomatic aid.
