Rising to stand and pacing around the conference room, clicking five beads on his combat gear in a consistent methodical manner as he walked.
1) You were informed personally by "sPECTRE" before the encounter of the capabilities. Don't claim ignorance nor look
for a scapegoat for your incompetence nor the incompetence of your forces. TYpical Capellan looking to blame others for
thier errors. Tai-i Koger plays the communication recording and sensor readings between "Spectre" and the commander of
the capellan merc force describing and demonstrating the capabilities of the Star League era Exterminator.
2) Since you are uneducated and ignorant, despite your self claimed battlefield experience and education, on how to
perform your duties on the battlefield under any extreme battle conditions, up to and including the lack of any
communications which IS ALMOST A CONSTANT WHEN FACING THE WORD OF BLAKE AND THEIR ALLIES(capitalized for
emphasis, not shouting/ or yelling) . We are willing to be your diligent schoolmaster to your, the unruly student, and the
rest of the GSF.
3) If you had even advanced forward 100 meters it would have given the "Bus" the support it needed, rather than
cowering craven behind the hills. The movement profiles of your units are faster than the Comstar forces that were there,
and yet they advanced and even managed to provide support for units twice their speed.(I have pics and texts on my
phone proving that although I was moving Cirfed's Comstar forces it was how he wanted them moved.)
4) The "Bus" was following my orders. If any unit in the Arkab is carrying/escorting Infantry PRIORITY(emphasis) ONE is
getting them to wherever they can cause the most chaos and Mayhem. In this case, Tai-i Koger pulls up the holo, right in
the middle of two "Toks" and the Merlin, the enemy commander. Unlike you, "CAPPELLAN" WE HAVE FIRST HAND
EXPERIENCE IN THE DRACONIS COMBINE FACING BATTLE ARMOR USED ON THE BATTLEFIELD BY IT'S CREATORS AND
MASTERS. NOVA CAT, SMOKE JAGUAR, GHOST BEAR. maybe you've heard them."
If you had shown even a little backbone, initiative, what have you. Those three squads would have thrown the enemy
line into a panic frenzy and making a hole in their line of battle. turning their flank, putting a dent in their combat forces,
maybe even manage some salvage. I question your competancy.
5)I have read the reports, listened, and watched every situation the GSF has encountered(locking eyes with every GSF
commander). The whole of the Arkab Harib has., better with popcorn and beverage of choice; best comedy I've EVER
SEEN. Your all F****** Idiots! You all arrive on site from different vectors and YOU ALWAYS FORM A GIANT AMOEBA and
move en masse and expect the enemy to withdraw and or surrender JUST BECAUSE YOU ARRIVED. Your commands are
fortunate to still exist, let alone have any personnel still living. Why you haven't had to deal with aerospace, by fighter,
dropship, or even capital bombardment. Nor have you had to deal with an enemy with artillery. IF YOU F****** haven't
been paying attention the foes you are dealing with have the capabilities:
.
Example 1) a close up of the Epona used in the Hilo hospital raid appears. " The epona Alpha variant, 2 LRM 20s, 2 clan medium lasers, AND TAG.
Example 2) an image of a strange battlemech appears, "The ICESTORM. A clan light battlemech weighing in at 25 tons, great speed, light on armor, respectable firepower for a non omni. Oh and equipped with TAG.
Example 3) imagery from the Arkab's compound fight shows the Arkab's Schiltron taking a direct hit to the crew compartment in a continuous loop. "If they didn't have it already, the Word of Blake and their allied forces on "porkchop" now have artillery capability. The Arkab chief tech and former DCMS techs confirm that the schiltron can be made operational again.
Your PREDICTABLE(emphasis) clusterf*** amoeba strategy can effectively be dealt with and eliminated by the enemies
use of artillery, not even specifically targeted with smart rounds, a good old fashioned saturation barrage would be more
effective, efficient and certainly more cost effective.
6 )Infantry whether Mechanized, Mobilized, Jump or Battle armor are not security forces. We are the most ARROGANT
****** IN THE UNIVERSE. Our average life expectancy is 3 seconds on the modern battlefield, we know this and
accept it. WE are dead men walking. Infantry is near unanimous spere wide VOLUNTEERS for the job. We have two
priorities in combat. TO KILL AND DESTROY. To treat us as your personal bodyguards, look of disgust at the Lyran
commander, or "flechette armor" with a LETHAL stare at the FWL commander not only disrespects but also dishonors
us. Sure we would like, NO! LOVE to live to retirement age for a fat pension. But we know its not realistic for most of
us. We are not suicidal, nor homicidal it just comes with the job. (With daunting and haunting clarity some of the leaders
of the GSF realize that the click of the beads is one every three seconds.)
Ask your infantry, your clan bondsmen. They will tell you the same.
7) Another time or place Capellan(heavily ladened with scorn and disgust) you would be dead. WE, The Arkab Harib "own the night." tossing a FAT RED PERMANENT MARKER ON THE TABLE.
With a roar the room erupts in chaos as several of the GSF commanders notice that the cappellan commander has a fat
red mark going from ear to ear on his neck. NOT blood, ink.
Tai-i Koger leaves the room after saluting Jack and Kensington 90 minutes later.
