[This broadcast can be heard by every ship in the fleet]
Hello, Captains of all the ships belonging or formally belonging to the Tagruato Corporation. My name is Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, Warden of the White Council, Wizard of the City of Chicago, and apparently according to that file of yours a severe risk to the project.
Anyway, I just thought in the name of good sportsmanship, I'd give you all a call and let you know just how screwed you really are. I'm sure you'll have noticed all those guys making mincemeat out of your fighters and warships, but really they're just the advanced guard of what you're about to face.
I trust you've all seen the new flags two of your aircraft carriers are sporting? Those belong to an organization called the Black Knights, led by a man calling himself Zero. Now, you probably aren't all that scared of Zero, let's face it, he's kind of a drama queen and that cape is a clear Batman knock off. Hell, he looks like he's going to Halloween. However, what you might not know about him is that Zero is a tactical genius, and more so has the power to control the minds of others and bend them inescapably to his will. Now, your superiors might have told you there are limits to this power, but I assure you there aren't anymore.
In fact, I hear that he's already managed to infiltrate some of your ships. You might want to watch out for that.
Betrayal begets betrayal Tagruato, and right now you have betrayed any sense of human decency. You are responsible for the deaths of countless men, women, and children, the mutilation of even more, the abduction of people from their homes, and the destruction of families. I don't care what kind of half-assed excuses you've told yourselves about just doing a job or not having a choice that lets you get to sleep at night, because I am telling you here and now that is bullshit. Everyone is responsible for their own actions, and right now you are facing the very people who's lives you destroyed. It may be easy to lord over them from a distance, or pretend they aren't real because you can't see them, but now you can, you can look into their eyes, and see the people you've tormented, and know they are coming for you.
You have one chance, only one, of making it out of this with your lives and souls intact. Ask yourselves if paying the bills is worth dying, worth giving up your humanity for a corporation who probably won't even pay your life insurance benefits, then turn around and leave now.
My name is Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, and you have taken my family. May God have mercy on you, because I won't.
[Transmission Ends. Five minutes later one of the battleship's main guns turns and fires several shells into its neighbor. Two minutes after that another one does the same. Neither of the attacking ship's bridges can be hailed, even if the Tagruato crew is still clearly in charge.]
