In responding to a query from the CoT staff regarding the attack on 2H), Simon Silverstone had this to say:
**********
To whom it may concern:
First of all, I apologize if my lack of immediate explanation, but I had some sh...<transmission interruption> to do.
I'd like to thank those who have brought this to my attention. You can rest assured that I did not authorize it personally, although there are members within my command structure who do have the authority to launch such an attack. Even though I generally advise that they don't, especially given the rather unstable situation with that gung-ho Zoro guy.
Second, I'd like to once again thank those who brought this to my attention and gave me names. I was definitely aware of a pretty big fight on the day in question. However, without the excellent reconnaissance work done by Nulion and whoever had informed him, I wouldn't know who to commend for such a bold, effective strike. Those involved will receive merits and, in some cases, promotions. The Clans could use a few more people with the guts to strike at Omni-Tek, and a few less in the hippy department.
Did I reccomend caution? Sure I did. That doesn't mean I am just going to suck it up when they come knocking at my door. Which, by the way, they did. As for the acting CEO... I couldn't care less what that hot-shot, Omni Prime lapdog thinks. If he has a problem with what my men are doing, he can come to Tir and settle it with me. Keep an eye out for a Omni-Tek fat cat waddling out of Tir with his own rifle up his <transmission interruption> that'll be their glorious, new "temporary" CEO.
War is a dirty thing, kids, and an ancient Earth military commander once said, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."
Welcome to Rubi-Ka, Nulion.
Sincerely,
Supreme Commander Simon Silverstone
