To the Virulian Enclave:
I am no politician, yet find myself needing to speak for our administrator who is still recovering from wounds received when his conference gunship was downed yesterday. I don't have Mr. Summers' ability for flowery speech, so I will be direct and to the point.
Yesterday Bretonia and Rheinland military forces worked themselves up from a trading/smuggling incident into a shooting war in the Omegas. Shortly afterwards, Freeport 1 was fired upon, unprovoked, by the RM forces. Our only goal at the time was the safety of the citizens of the station and trying to stay out of the conflict by trying to keep all combatant military forces at least 2K away from the station.
We now find ourselves threatened by Rheinland on one hand, and pressured by Bretonia on the other. The agressive behavior on both sides leads us to consider it tyranny and oppression regardless of side. Thus we would ask for the assistance of the Virulian Enclave to help secure the space around the Freeport. In addition, if you are willing, I would personally ask for your help in forming a coalition for a free Omegas. The annexing by both houses has not created the peace it was intended, but instead has become a breedinig ground for hostilities. In the end, a secure and safe Freeport is desired, yet a greater goal is that of an independent Omega state so that peace can be found.
When Mr. Summers regains consciousness I'm sure he will contact you also. In the mean time, please accept this transmission in his stead under my authority as security director.

Greetings Genine San Savage.
I am Arin and I speak on behalf of the Virulian Council.
We have heard the news of the conflict in Omega 3 and we have been concerned of the safety of Freeport 1 and it's residence.
We will begin by sending aid in terms of repair ships and transport ship carrying resources such as food, water and medical supplies. We will also dispatch an ship carrying Virulian Engineers to assist in the repairs of the station.
How ever, when it comes to securing the space around Freeport 1 from the houses of Bretonia & Rheinland, we can do very little..
What we can do is dispatch a wing of fighters to your position and defend the station if needed again.
The council we also deliberate the possibility of signing an agreement about the coalition of a Free Omega State.
May the creator watch over you
-Arin, secretary of the Patriarch and of the Virulian Council

Thank you Arin for what assistance you are able to provide.
The attack yesterday was unexpected and as such, to conserve energy usage, had our shields at a minimal setting. The damage we received was due to that miscalculation. Last year, after another conflict, we received a shield upgrade and immediately after the first volley, we pushed the power setting to full, and it will remain as such for the duration of this conflict.
Our total yesterday was 27 killed and 300 wounded. The most severely injured have been transported to Omega 49 and Baffin with the help of Sea Spirit company and the Convoy ships. Your engineers will be of great help in getting everything back to full operational capability. Materials for repairs are en route as of this transmission.
Your wing of fighters is welcome and they are free to contact me on the Skyp3 channels. While shaken, the Freeport still stands, contrary to the claims of some. It will remain a bastion of freedom of itself and, I hope, a free and peaceful Omega.

[color=black]Greetings Genine San Savage,
My name is Ragen Storm, the Council has tasked me with overseeing most of the repair, resupply and refitting operations to your station, and my job is to make sure everything runs smoothly. Therefore, I must ask for the control of a hangar on your station to be given to us in the duration of our ''visit'', the hangar is mostly needed for our EDF wing that will be guarding the area around the station and of course for any of our supply and repair vessels that will be making runs to and from the station.
Other than that, we would like to modify and 'upgrade' the hangar that would be given to us, such constructions are necessary for full efficiency to repair our ships. Do not worry however, the modification will be done quickly and quietly, and will be returned to it's former state in the same way, and only for the duration of our stay.
Thank you in advance, and may the Creator aid you in your difficult time,
[color=black]-Anima Messor

Greetings to you Ragen Storm.
I have issued orders to secure your people a docking bay for your use. The upgrades are also much appreciated. Ships currently staged within that bay are being transferred to other hangar housing.
Thank you for your support, it will not be forgotten.
Please feel free to contact me on the Skyp3 channels at: Freelancer.Transport for immediate messaging should you need to do so.

Sorry for the delay - im a bit beat to hell, but ive got a few new scars to impress the ladies with now, so all good.
Omega 3 has become a battlezone, like it always seems to become - and just like that, Freeport 1 becomes a target.
We cant protect these people with just words - both sides only want what they want, and will take it from us if we let them.
Im not going to.
We need the VE's help to safeguard Freepot 1 - we have a well spring of supplies coming for the people. But those people will be dead or forced to be citizens of a house at gunpoint. Freedom is attained through hardwork, and the will to claim it for yourself.
sometimes, that means you need to protect it, with your life if need be.
And thats what we need. Anyone with arms willing to help us defend our lives, and our freedom.

Mr Summers, I am Grand Marshall Khaleen and I have been asked to represent the Enclave Defense Forces regarding Omega 3 and the Freeport classified as "1".
The Virulian Enclave dislikes the use of force in any given situation, how ever, we understand the Freeport is in a.. Special.. Situation..
Therefore I have been granted to acknowledge your plea of assistance and grant 2 wings to defend the freeport.
How ever, this is the clause.. We will never initiate combat, we will not open fire first. We will only retaliate if we or the freeport have been fired upon.
This is to save the Virulian Enclave diplomatic issues in the future.
There will be limited capital ship support as the route we take is filled with dangers as it is, but one bomber wing consisting of 6 ships and one support wing with 2 repair ships and 1 Gunboat will be enough to insure the Freeports security.
We have understood that some of our vessels have made contact so far and hope the supplies theyve brought been beneficial for the Freeport and it's inhabitants.
