Losing Luyten has forced us to cut a route through Sirius to get to Proxima. The Luyten station was key in maximizing our offensive, but that's not possible now. I can't stand the losing folks. This has to stop.

Intel believes that Sirius is the location of a majority of the Alien's supply lines. Our job is to erase those supplies, burning any transport, fighter, destroyer, cruiser, or carrier in the process. This is NOT going to be easy folks. In fact, the loss of the Luyten station has put us in a very bad position.

But I'm an optimist. If we can smash those supplies we should be able to roll through Sirius and into Proxima; facing a fleet of under supplied roaches looking for shelter from the spotlight of those two suns. We can still win this. Let's do it.

I say win because I assume you know what that word still means. We have a lot of lost men and women to make up for. Those dead want vengeance, and you have got to pick up that burning sword and deliver them some. Am I making myself clear?

Now, I've been hearing some grumbles and groans about shift length lately. Well allow me to reassure you children with the knowledge that these creatures have not only introduced a particularly lethal plague on us and threaten to stamp out the Earth, but there have been some reports of fluctuating shifts in the scans of Proxima's two stars. This indicates that whatever the aliens are doing it is affecting the energy output of the stars. This could threaten the entire system.

So now you aren't trying to protect a transport or even a star base, you're trying to save the inhabitants of an entire system. Remember that.

There are some Eyes Only material about the Blue Horizon that I expect all of you have read. This alien virus is a threat that is going to be with us for some time. Any and all encounters with alien craft should be treated as Level 4 containment situations. I don't want us eaten alive before we've had the chance to ram a few more bolts into the face of these alien bastards.

You folks are the best in Confed and I have the highest confidence we will prevail.

Whoever kills the most bugs on this push gets an unlimited tab at the bar.
