Since the formation of Pentaforce, we have attempted to reset relations with all alliances- our holdovers from ODOO were let go and we decided to attempt to start anew with other alliances.
It came as a surprise to us then, that Event Horizon decided that our efforts to distance ourselves from a previous ally were simply a ruse, and that despite us making clear that we had no intention of fighting with House, we were apparently complicit in engaging in backroom deals to grant some sort of advantage to others.
You thought you could get an easy war, with an unaware enemy, who was isolated from the NAP at the behest of someone who was already a part of it, knowing the only other alliances who could do anything outside of that NAP extension would be otherwise preoccupied. You left us with the choice of fighting a war with you for no other reason than you thought you could get away with an easy fight, or return to the support of alliances we had purposely distanced ourselves from.
Despite the disapproval of their allies, EVH made an attempt to hit us- ignoring our efforts to start fresh, ignoring our tenuous position outside of the NAP they found themselves comfortably sat in as the reason for our militarisation, and decided our past is more important.
When EVH and t$ split, we could have taken it at face value, and figured that EVH and t$ are done. But, having learned from EVH themselves that you should never assume past ties are gone- we had better make sure EVH isn’t planning to rush to the aid of t$.
Pentaforce declares war on Event Horizon.
