Two weeks ago, December 19th, 2186� a date which will live in infamy � Charlie Squad of the USS Almayer was suddenly and deliberately attacked by a grenade belonging to the Squad of Delta.
Charlie Squad was at peace with Delta squad and, at the solicitation of Delta Squad, was still in conversation with its Squad Leader and its SO looking toward the maintenance of peace in the prep hallway.
Indeed, one hour after a Delta squad marine had commenced a bombing in the Charlie Prep room, the Delta SL to Charlie squad began invoking hostilities.
It will be recorded that the distance of Charlie prep from Delta prep makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time, the Delta SL has deliberately sought to deceive CIC by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.
The attack 2 weeks ago on theCharlie prep has caused severe damage to Charlie squad. I regret to tell you that very many Grape lives have been lost.
later that morning, Delta squad also launched attacks against Charlie squad members, resulting in a massive battle within the briefing room.
Last night, Delta forces attacked the canteen.
Last night, Delta forces attacked the hanger.
Last night, Delta forces attacked the the chapel.
This morning, Delta attacked the MP's.
Delta has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the USS Almayer. The facts of two weeks ago, last night and today speak for themselves. The Marines of Charlie squad have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our Squad. As a Charlie main, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense. But always will our whole squad remember the character of the onslaught against us.
No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the Charlie people in our righteous might will win through to absolute victory.
I believe that I interpret the will of the CIC and of the squad when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.
Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our Squad, our prep, and our interests are in grave danger.
With confidence in our Ungas and dungas, with the unbounding determination of our squad, we will gain the inevitable triumph � so help us God.
I ask that the CIC declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Delta on Wednesday, December 19th, 2186, a state of war has existed between Charlie Squad and Delta Squad
