::: END OF DIRECT ORDER :::
Crews,
This puts some of you away from home for a bit, and I intend for many of you to fall into harms way while you're out there. That's what we do - I don't expect you'll mind so much.
Right now we focus on getting our garrisons up to fighting strength. That may seem like boring convoy duty, but if we don't eat we don't fight.
I remind you of the 4 weeks where we were down to starvation rations while we held Casablanca. You newer recruits may think that rumble in your belly is a desire to kill Hessians, but some of us will remember it simply as gastrointestinal juices ripping our stomach walls to shred searching for nutrition.,
One more thing:
Omega 47 is the prize. Casablana is the key.
Do not hesitate to impose your will and presence in that system.
Our enemies must be dominated at every opportunity.
I have received the message and will begin directing my fleet immediately. I have already moved the Tormenta to its new destination, with an escort of veteran pilots.
All members of the Blanco fleet, report immediately and begin your journey once it is secure enough to do so.
Good flying hermanos.
Enzo Santiago, First Sentinel of the Blanco fleet.
