Dear Magister Orlov, dear Yuri,

Thank you for reaching out—it’s been far too long since our last conversation. I hope you and everyone at Faith Haven are doing well under the circumstances. My daughter and I are doing well, though as a typical 1-year-old, she has a knack for keeping her mother on her toes. Parenthood is full of learning moments, isn’t it? I’m glad to hear your biodome continues to support you despite the challenges. Your resilience remains an inspiration. May Deux watch over you all.

Regarding the shipments, I appreciate your concerns and would like to clarify the situation:

The hydroponic bays at the General Academy remain fully operational, and we’ve even increased production to meet demand. Shipments have continued as usual; however, there’s been a noticeable decline in vessels arriving to collect them—or if pickups are happening, they don’t appear to be designated for Pygar. To address this, we’ve been utilizing our only available transport vessel to send shipments to Corfu for broader distribution. It’s surprising and concerning to hear that settlers are receiving lower-quality produce, as this is the first we’ve heard of such complaints.

We’ve also noticed delays and inconsistencies in the supply chain at Corfu, which could be contributing to the problem. Investigating these issues, especially in light of the recent administrative changes on Pygar, will take some time, but we are committed to resolving them.

Additionally, we’ve received reports that some colonists who are being aided at the Academy, have started stockpiling food in preparation for possible evacuation. While this reaction is understandable, it may be intensifying the perception of shortages and straining the system further. Both administration and myself are shocked of hearing these reports from the colonists. Especially as we aren't aware of any evacuation plans by the Pygar administration.

Having mentioned that, please rest assured, we are doing everything possible to address these challenges and ensure resources flow smoothly to where they’re needed most. Your kind offer of assistance is greatly appreciated, and I’ll be sure to reach out if collaboration would help us move forward.

Take care, and may Deux continue to bless and guide your efforts.

Sincerely,


Jill Xi, PharmD,

Dear Yuri,

Thank you for your message and for sharing your concerns. I agree that the situation on Pygar is troubling, and I appreciate your commitment to addressing it.

MFE will launch an internal investigation into why our shipments have not been reaching Pygar settlements despite increased production. While we work to uncover the root cause, we are also planning immediate action to ensure deliveries resume efficiently:

• Acquiring a Freighter: MFE will prioritize acquiring a dedicated freighter to facilitate planetary deliveries directly to Pygar. This will allow us to bypass Corfu as a freight distribution point and coordinate shipments directly with NCC for better accountability.
  
  
• Interim Arrangements: Until a freighter is available, I propose a temporary solution. MFE can arrange a shipment to Corfu while coordinating with NCC for a direct pickup. This way, the goods can avoid being stored at Corfu and will go straight to NCC, ensuring they remain fresh and reach the settlers promptly.
  

On another note, we have not yet observed signs of an exodus from Pygar. Settlers visiting the Academy for treatment and emergency care express concern, but they remain willing to return to their homes on the planet. This resilience is reassuring, but it underscores the urgency of resolving the food supply challenges before they escalate.

I have included MFE internal in this channel, as my capacity as Academy Director limits what I can address alone.

Lastly, I was thinking of whether you could ask for your assistance by reaching out to the Corsairs? They may have a freighter in the system that could be deployed faster than we can acquire one. Their help with deliveries could be instrumental in stabilizing the situation.

Thank you again for your efforts and collaboration. Together, I’m confident we can address this issue and ensure the settlers on Pygar receive the support they need.

Warm regards,
