Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Miss Pimakhova.

Rest assured, this communication channel is appropriately unlisted and will not form part of any open record. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Oscar Bancroft, and I serve as part of the Commander’s cabinet of adjutants, assisting him in coordinating the Alliance across its diverse range of operations. My particular remit concerns diplomatic affairs, which is why your correspondence has been redirected to me while the Commander is presently indisposed.

I am both authorized and prepared to meet with you to discuss this matter. If you are at liberty to do so, I would appreciate any preliminary details you are willing to share. Should discretion require otherwise, such matters may, of course, await our meeting in person.

Until then!

Ah, I certainly can appreciate how this appears!

And it's exactly why I acknowledged your right to reserve any and all clarification for our sit down. This sort of thing wouldn't happen, ordinarily, but the Commander is currently not available to address any direct communications.

I'm afraid I can't elaborate on why that is either!

If you have no major reservations, then I'll be underway immediately.
