Rumours of rift between Oojok and Captain Clone over Benito

The war against Benito seems to have stalled, the HCS fleet has engaged in a stand-off against the Benito EYE fleet for some months now. The elite RP brigade tried to force the issue but was wiped out when it tried to land on Austini 55. Now there are reports of a rift between Oojok and HCS Commander Captain Clone over how to tackle Benito's EYE rebellion.

Oojok is said to want action, to rush Benito now before he gets too strong however Captain Clone wants to wait. He thinks a confrontation would be too damaging and, although the HCS would likely win, would leave the HCS too weakened afterwards to tackle any external threat afterwards. He favours containment, hoping that making Benito wait will dull the zeal of his followers and they will leave his fold.
