Senor Burton,
We have held our end of the deal, the freeport is back within your hands. Let me know what we can do to assist. We are more than happy to supply weaponry of all kinds for the lasting defence.
Three suggestions for you, senor.
1- I suggest you move Freeport Nine closer to Pygar, adjust it's orbit where possible to be further from the Omicron Gamma Anomaly.
2- Ready all Zoner installations with all such defensive measures. The time the Corsairs held Freeport Nine, their population swelled and they no longer have the food to sustain it, their usual cannibalism will ensue as standard. Don't be afraid to call for help- we will assist where we can.
3- Please get in touch with all Zoner groups. I suggest to ensure all of your people's transponders read Corsairs to be fully hostile until they have paid you for the damages they have done to your people.
These are suggestions, senor. Not orders. You see the difference between forced occupation and us doing exactly what we said we would do.
Phoenix and the Omicron Zoners are more than grateful for your assistance in bringing justice to Omicron Theta.
Although I did not doubt your words until the last moment and Mr. Harabero; I had lingering misgivings after meeting with Ms. Daniels. However, this may be due to our rather complicated relationship with them over the old days. In any case, we will do our best to bring Freeport 9 back to its former glory; its position was no accident, as it is the largest logistical hub not only for the Zoners but also for other groups.
I am extremely pessimistic about peaceful coexistence with the Corsairs, perhaps I even know them better than they know themselves. Their pride is hurt and they will seek revenge. But it's never too late to learn from the mistakes, additional security measures on Freeport 9 and its perimeter will be taken into account to prevent such disastrous events from ever rose again.
The number of lives lost in this fight so far, it's not over just yet.
My observations in Bretonia show a small yet capable force of Corsairs. if they have half a braincell between them, they'll seek to re-capture Freeport Nine and that force in Bretonia is their biggest bet of doing so.
Keep your forces ready.
Senorita Daniels of the Core's forces are still fighting hand to hand within the Freeport. You haven't won it back just yet.
I respect yourself and your ideologies senor, but the corsairs aren't that clever. They will seek to kill as many Zoners in revenge as they can, the uncivilised scum don't realise they brought it upon themselves.
Please realise we all still bleed for this cause. Do not let the hope of "doing the right thing" cloud your judgment with the Corsairs. I imagine they are already planning to strike Gran Canaria as we speak. Their word is as invalid as their existence. No honour.
Get ready for the next wave senor, they're more desperate than ever.
Our long range scanners also noticed activity coming from Napo Cloud. We were forced to leave the Freeport 9 area, as we oscillated to launch an operation to infiltrate the station. That's absolutely unnecessary nor can we really afford to lose any more men. Too much is put onto the table and we cannot peril our fleet anymore.
We retreated to Corfu for regrouping and minor repairs. Either way, if I were the Corsairs in Freeport 9, I'd think hard about saving my life. Their main backbone of the flotilla is broken. Will they be able to afford to take additional forces off another front? Time will tell. Regardless, we have time to gather up for the final strike.
Please forgive the delay in my response, I've been busy in trying to work out potential moves from the Corsairs.
How are you holding up your side? Are you, your crew's and stations well?
Senor, I need to know your thoughts. I said the Maltese nation will support in this strike, we have done so. I need to work with you for a long term solution.
We have regrouped at Pygar, ships that received most of the damage have been sent to Livadia, everything else got restocked and repaired here, on the Corfu. But we have compensates our strike losses with fresh arrived forces from Gran Canaria.
At this moment we are observing the situation, but nothing really changes. The Corsairs by the visuals didn’t fortify their positions on Freeport 9 and the surrounding area, but that does not mean they won’t surprise us as we strike again.
Zoners are not in an aghast position to engage the battle, so we are attuned to join the forces that are going in the direction of Freeport 9. While I remember what had been laid aboard Fantasma, I would understand the circumstances if Outcasts at this moment have a bit different objectives. Perhaps, that’s the time when Core and Zoners would fight side by side.
