This Serco Transmission was intercepted on an encripted channel this afternoon:

=====:::BEGIN TRANSMISSION:::=====

The incursion is set for Saturday Morning from 02:00 to 06:00 Zulu. All able Serco warriors report to Edras to randevouz with the fleet. Monitor and report in on commchannel 11 to recieve your briefing.

I repeat, we are go for Saturday Morning from 02:00 to 06:00 Zulu (Friday Night between 21:00 and 01:00 Romeo / 20:00 and 00:00 Sierra) Bring your best ships and be ready to kill. We shall not stop until every last mother's son of Akan's following is dead. Failure is not an option.

Cunjo out.

=====:::END TRANSMISSION:::=====

This follows a patriotic speech given to ready the Serco for war.

A resistance must be established if we are to successfully repel the invasion. Is there a leader to come forward in this, our time of need?

SKV will be there... if I could figure out what times those actually are.

OOC: I poke thee to the newspost thread. It's about 9pm to 1am EST on Friday evening.

"Hmm..."

<OOC> Way ahead of you, mold... care to write an Itani version?

Its all a ruse to spring Lecter I'll bet.

I dont think [SCAR] has any idea where they are holding lecter, it would be pointless...

I have Lecter in my trunk for the moment. He'll be back in Itan shortly. But you're right Black, [SCAR] usually doesn't have ideas.

I'll be there to help push the mass of dead Serco bodies and broken hulls into the nearest star, when the battle is over.

Now wait a minute! We UIT are having our annual toga party at Edras at that exact same time! Could you move your little scuffle somewhere else, children?

Besides, if Lecter realy wanted to escape, all he should do is put his hands in his pockets, tilt his head a bit to the front and run like he was the the last chicken in New Somalia. The walls would make him reincarnate into his next clone, no?

(Now, if you don't agree, bother the devs a lil more for escape pods :p )

Done, Cunjo.

"Its all a ruse to spring Lecter I'll bet."

You're kidding, right? I, for one, am glad you took him off our hands =P

<OOC> Thanks, Mold.

No, Lecter won't be sprung, this is not a rescue mission. This is an armed incursion. May victory come fast and swift to our fleet!

OOC: I'll be away this weekend busy at work; probably won't make it, but good luck and have fun all that attend!

Just a question though if a itani kills a admired serco in monitored space won't the itani lose alot of faction standing? Should all "wars" take place in grey or unmonitored space?

Let them come, the Itani shall face down these foes as we have done time and time before, if the Serco want war, theyre not ready for the hell that will ensue. Mark my words, SOL II will be in ruins before the Serco can cry mercy. Itan will not negoitate with the intergalactic menace the Serco have become. Hail Itan and toast! To the destuction of the Serco nation who have long disrupted free trade and the safety of our Nation.

Let the war be swift, and let justice be done for the crimes of the Serco people.

Me thinks Moldy's speech in the news was much better :P j/p

Eh, I tried didnt I :P

Thats sounds more genocidal than denfensive. Itani hipocritizism hits once again.

That would be an Akanese speaking.

HEY! Stop stealing my bit!
