Message incoming from Valash ....
Well, I guess we'll see if the humans actually start to take part in this
battle now. The Omega and the Whitestar captains have either been stunned
like the shadow ships or they are waiting for some event. So I thought
I'd provide them with an event, I just wish this class of vessel had some
real teeth. Point blank range and all I did was LIGHT damage. Now the event
could be the destruction of the Valash, I should be fine unless they release
their fighters from escort duty.
Is Past Glories going to be able to circle in for an attack run on the
humans or are you just going to strike the shadow and jump out.

Don't say I didn't warn you about the life expectancy of your cruiser -
all by itself near the EA (especially when you start firing at them). Tell
me, have you allied yourself with the Shadows? (you seem to have shot at
everyone else).
Past Glories out.
Incoming from Past Glories..
Based on his actions, it would appear that the Commander of the Centauri
Light Cruiser (Valash) has allied himself with the Shadows. He has repeatedly
refused to fire on Shadow vessels and now has displayed his true colours
by firing on the Whitestar. He is a disgrace to his house and if you don't
kill him I most certainly will!
Past Glories out.
P.S. To the senior EA commander: Because of the actions of the Narn cruiser (inexplicable hatred of Centauri?!), as you can see I'm treating them as a hostile.
Captain,
Your co-operation has been invaluable to the Shadows and will be remembered.
My brethren has been destroyed and I have been wounded, but they haven't
seen the worst that I can do.
Yet.
A course of action will be decided and the reckoning will come.

Shadow Lords,
I realize that my weapons are insignificant when compared to your advanced
tech, therefore it is lightly best that I fire a target other than yours.
I you will likely destroy who ever you engage. Which should my primary
targets be, the Narn still ave emines but will be moving away. The earther
hyperion will be unable to bring its main weapons in arc but the Omega
and Whitestar will both likely target you shortly. As for my Centauri brothers
they have not yet realized the great rewards of serving the Shadows.
I await you target suggestions.

Kaloc to Past Glories,
I am captain wishing to gain glory and honor for my house. The Narn dogs
should be killed on sight by any good Centauri Captain. As for the humans
they don't seem to have the stomach for this battle so we might just as
well remove them from it and take the glory for ourselves. I have also
never really been in range of a shadow vessel to fire on, than was a better
target than a Narn dog.

Commander, thank you for this communication. I was decidely worried about the activities of the Valash. Although the remaining Shadow ship must still hold our primary focus, this ship will be my secondary target.
Incoming from Past Glories..
All these sound like excuses to explain your "shadowy" tendencies.
Don't worry you'll recieve all the honours you so rightly deserve.
End Last communication.

Dark Lords,
Past Glories I believe is about to break comms with me. So I expect that
her captain will be after you shortly I can't say whether a fighter strike
is enroute or not though. Shall I attempt to get within range to use my
fighter defence to support your fighter escort?
