It's taken us a while to get our organization into any semblance of stability following events
in Omicron Minor. While copious amounts of work yet remains to be done...We'll have to
reconsider our stance and modus operandi regarding the Nomads.
They've effectively proven that defeating them in a frontal war is impossible without
far more resources than we have to commit. If the accumulated fleets of eighteen years
could not hold, then it'll be impossible for us to make any dent in their fleets if a sector
wide engagement happens. An alternate means of combating the nomads will have to be found.
All we have left with us now is our expertise and knowledge about the nomads.
Disseminating that knowledge is a double-edged sword, and not a decision to be taken lightly. However,
Sirius is already engulfed in war, and the Nomads will take an opportunity where they see it. Once
they strike, we have to make sure as many people as possible are ready to stand and oppose it.
It's our duty to stop the Nomads. Whether by gun or word, it does not matter
These moments, I wish history would repeat, and all we'd need is a deadbeat Freelancer turning some egg into a weapon to win. Tell me where, and I'll go. If the endgame approaches, then time is too precious to waste. Hunter Out.

"Oh... look here. Now the Nomads are suddenly a threat! Is the Order High Command seriously made up of... less than intelligent people? I have been saying that our priorities lay with attacking and destroying any nomadic entity, not wasting our resources fighting a pathetic war. You know what war I'm talking about as well.
Eighteen years of highly trained, well established ships, crew, and pilots. All weakened by war with the Bounty Hunter Guild Core, and even skirmishes with house militaries. For what? To be completely destroyed by a Nomad Fleet that we should have seen coming.
Want an alternate way to combat the Nomads? Take it from an expert here in House space. Get friends, hit the squids hard, hit them fast, get the job done and move on to another sector.
Hallo Tawaret. It has been some time since we last met.
Nun, I am afraid, but I have to admit, you are right. Zhe Order will never again be like it used to be.
And zhose verdamned nomads have proven us, zhat an open war with them will only make one side loose.
- Our side -
But handing out knowledge about zhe nomads? Are you sure zhis is so gut? If you have a plan about it,
I am eager to hear it.
And regarding zhe comments of Chamberlain. Though his tone is rather rude, I have to agree.
We have sit on our asses and lick our wounds long enough. It is time to go on and do what must be done.
From what do I understand, we're going to have a change in our approach regarding the nomads, oui?
Tres magnifique, I've been awaiting for this call for quite a time considering that blunt power's been proven useless.
I also believe we should concern ourselves with the nomads among us before we take our complete attention to the ones ramming at our gates.There were multiple occasions where humanity was crippled in front of the nomad threat due to the infectees.If we want to stand a chance, and pose a retaliation we should first eradicate the infectees completely as well as prevent any future infestations.
Nonetheless, monsieurs and madames, I'll always be with you and fight with the Order until we shall reach the very Hell's Gates and beyond them.
...Hmm, a...,,Deadbeat Freelancer"...I'm afraid I haven't heard about such kind of a person before.
Au revoir

Let's just remember who that 'deadbeat' Freelancer is, shall we? I haven't forgotten him, and neither should any of you. While the circumstances this time around are hardly alike, we cannot give up hope that the Nomads can be defeated. Since my reactivation as an agent, I've been traveling. My old contacts in the Blood Dragons can be notified, and our influence cannot be denied. It may hurt our pride, but we cannot fight each other while the Nomads are a single and unified force. They will continue to divide and conquer us. First it was Toledo, and now that they've effectively separated us from the bulk of our allies they can simply 'sanitize' the area in the coming years.
We need to seek peace with our enemies, and find new friends. The Core may be greedy, powerhungry and insatiable but they are still human. Talk to them. Find some sort of middle ground. Placate them with technology if that's what they need. But we need supplies, recruits, and above all, friends. The Core can help us place our roots back in House space.
We have a rocky history with the governments of Sirius, and that's something we need to change. I don't think I can stress enough how much we need friends and support. While the Houses are embroiled in war, the Nomads gain strength. Gallia did not witness the destruction the Slomon K'Hara caused, so they will be harder to pacify. But a unified Sirius can push them back, and I believe it's our duty as the guardians of Mankind to find a way to make it happen. We need to come out of the shadows, not only for the sake of our own survival but so that Sirius as a whole can recognize the threat they face. The Nomads will only get stronger so long as we cannot find peace.
I'm not a member of High Command, but I hope my word still has weight. I was part of Orillion's strike into the heart of Nomad society two decades ago, and I will throw myself into the fire again at a moment's notice. But I'd rather do so with a fleet behind me. Until next time, this is Agent Zane, signing off.
I have to agree, with
Miss Zane. Our relations
with the Houses are grim,
at best. We need to find a
way to make things right.
And we won't accomplish
that by sitting on our arses.
If we're going to save
mankind once more, we
must earn it's trust. The
military politicans of today
are making this a hard task,
but we need not their trust,
but the trust of the people.

Concerns are shared Taweret. It is good to hear from Zane and Chamberlain, through I wish it would be at better circumstancess. It will be appropriate to throw my few cents as Overwatch.
Sirius is at war.
We can not deny it, we can not stop it. It has good and bad sides. Disorder inflicted will allow our operatives to nest in deeper into house space, form more powerful network, form new alliances and gather strenght when our potential enemies are busy with each other. Disorder this, in my opinion will cause more harm through... Nomads will take this opportunity as well if they have not done it already.
Core, that guild which many of which wants peace proven multiple times to be traitorous organisation. Giving them technology will further their edge against us, being long term doom for The Order and in result: entire Omicron sector. Keep in mind it is Omicron Minor they attacked in first place. Not Omicron Iota or any of the Nomad infested systems. Their aim is to completely anihilate us and harvest our technological advancments for their own needs. If I had to choose I rather ally with Corsairs again, which is closer to 141's secondary objective. My fear concerns Core ideology... they have proven to choose profit and power over anything else, including value of human life we want to protect. Toledo might be just start of their atrocities.
We made some progress, but we lost way more. Our renewed alliance with Blood Dragons is better prepared to counter resurface of Nomad thread within Kusari. On other hand we lost few other. Many are familliar with SCRA, and how that relationship ended in war. I raised to High Command status during this conflict which myself took hard. While fighting so many human factions while Nomads roam unchallenged I ask myself question: why it is so, that others want to prevent us from victory or do it their own way, without witnessing what alien technology can do.
It brought us trade lanes and jump gates. New technologies that helped us reach to other stars in matter of minutes instead of year long travels on conventional drives. It also gave birth to Nomads themselves and all horrors they use to sow destruction. Destruction of Toledo itself is a reason why NO ONE should posess such power. While delivering that kind of weaponry against its creators itself is an option, it is hard path. Question is, how we aquire such devastating hardware and what would be fate of device after it is over.
Back during Nomad War we were much smaller, without fleet. Fast strikes across entire Sirius were succesful as ultimately we won. We could follow this path as well but as times change, we have to evolve. Raw strenght of the fleet will never defeat Nomads in conventional warfare. That is what we learned unfortunately and we need to learn from our mistakes. For too long we were in retreat and defence positions on our old fortress at Toledo too. While Core ammased their strenght for siege, we symbolically dug more trenches instead of taking war to our enemies. We now know what Nomads are capable of, so do Overwatch during these times of rebuilding will develop counter tactics to adress threat directly.
I hope that if we succeed, no one shall stop us from delivering second hit on a scale of attack on Dyson Sphere which made Nomads to retreat for nearly twenty years. Keep in mind our biggest strenght remained unharmed since the beggining of The Order... our ability to strike anything, anytime, everywhere.
Due to my time of joining this organization, I am not fully aware why the bond between the Corsairs has been lost, but, in mon opinion, I think that an alliance needs to sought again with them, which is, like you've mentioned, one of 141's secondary goals
It's true that, they cannot be fully trusted, or that we can't fully rely on them, but I believe that they can be exploited, and exploited in a good way to serve for our cause
They may not have the capabilities to withstand the Nomad threat as we do, but one thing is sure, they have a tres grande hatred for the CORE, and we can use this hatred.
Like you have mentioned mon Overwatch, the CORE is a needle in our back for too much time, well, I believe that the corsairs can remove this needle
They may lack the organization we posses, but they have the numbers and brute strength necessary to grab the CORE by it's neck, granted the corsairs will know how to use these traits in order to do so and they have managed to do that a few times, with our support as well like the Liberation of Omicron Lost par example
Granted the Corsairs will attack the CORE, we will have the freedom to act as we wish, without the risks of having our plans ruined by the CORE
As you may have already guessed, I am too against an alliance with the CORE.They have no honour, they have no loyality, they see only the money and the power.They are like hungry dogs waiting for you to turn their back on them so they can bite you and devour you.
Au revoir
