This is Captain Mark A. Siefert with a plea to all EA vessels:

If the ISN footage just shown is true then these...things... are not here to pay the Alliance a social call. All of us here have sworn allegience to one side or another; to either President Clark or General Hague. Now is the time where politics become irrelevent. Left or Right, Loyalist or Rebel; these mean nothing when they are faced by an enemy that threatens to destroy us both. I say let the politians back home bicker over this issue (aside: oh yeah, Clark arrested them all).

As of now the ANSHAR is ceasing any and all hostilities against any ships of the Earth Alliance in order to join in (or sort) any defense against these ship. I invite any ship--from either side--to help me stand against these things.

The time for action is now! Everything will get us all killed.

ANSHAR OUT
