I hope you're doing well. I also hope that the Atum is doing well, after all we've done to get her out of Vespucci.

I'd like to get together to discuss some matters, mostly related to Vespucci, but also Bretonia and the Taus. There's quite a few unresolved issues that we don't really have the capabilities to handle by ourselves. The sooner we get to work on them, the better.

Let me know what works for you. If you have any other units assigned to these areas, now would be the time to loop them in as well.

I'm quite happy to see such a swift response. Admiral, I'd also like to thank you for the swift resolution to that matter. I can confirm our runners have had no issues since. There are quite a few things I'd like to touch on, so I'll just get to it.

My primary concerns surround the Vespucci system. As I've already mentioned in my communications with Admiral Golanski, the biosphere of Veracruz is suffering a crisis. The Nomad corpse continues to poison the planet and it needs to be dealt with immediately. We'd do it ourselves, if the contamination was smaller in scope, but we are talking about a biological equivalent to a crashed capital ship. We have neither the resources nor the expertise in handling the quantities of Nomad material the cleanup would necessitate. Not to mention any after-effects we can't even begin to predict.

Secondly, we've also noted the local Wild Hunt incorporated heavier units into their arsenal. We've sighted at least one Hel-class cruiser in their possession, and there may well be more. It would not surprise me if they were using the Omega passage to reinforce the Guerrero.

There is also the matter of the Orkney system. I'm sure the events that transpired there are no secret to you. Our garrison there had front-row seats to the massacre, and we've lost quite a few of our own when the Nomads swept the system. Some of our best have been keeping watch over the system since, and it's been quiet, but it's only a matter of time before the threat resurfaces in the region. I think comparing notes is long overdue here.

And, finally, there's Dublin. We know beyond reasonable doubt now that the Republic has ties to the Inverness branch of the Hunt. Whether knowingly or not is beyond my ability to say. What I can say, however, is that I explicitly requested Admiral Golanski sees to the matter. Given a few weeks ago a Technocrat dreadnought arrived in Dublin to a warm welcome by Molly and Coalition forces, it seems like my words fell on deaf ears. This needs rectifying.

But I would say one item at a time. Vespucci, specifically Veracruz, as it's a very time-sensitive matter. Commander Otto, I would like to inquire about the status of the 34th. Is the unit still operating in the region? Admiral Solandros, I'd like to take you up on the offer. I can make my way into the Omicrons to catch your convoy and accompany you, if that'd suit you. We could talk things through along the way. Let me know the timetable.

Regardless, if there's any immediate information or assitance you can provide on any of the above, I'd be quite grateful.

I'm in agreement that it's highly unlikely Liberty can spare any meaningful effort to stop a cleanup operation, doubly so if Kusari so happens to make their move before us. But Liberty does not need a meaningful force to disrupt our operations. I think we should proceed with the assumption that, at the very least, the LSF would have something to say about it.

However, the satelites might not be as big of an issue as they may seem. Thanks to certain arrangements, we've already been able to tap the data feeds for our own use. It's largely how we've kept tabs on the contamination in the first place. I'd have to make some calls, but a surveillance blackout should not be too difficult to arrange for.

But I'd rather we figure out a plan to clean up the mess before I have to go around calling in favours.

I wouldn't presume to tell you how to do your job, but if anything is on my no go list, it'd be that.

As for Dublin, to specify, the Ranseur-class we spotted was the INS Ven'Gyr, flagged to the Insurgent remnants operating under the Technocracy's patronage. Far as we know, they arrived from somewhere in the Taus and have since left for Liberty. Pennsylvania, if I were to guess, their visit to Arranmore likely just a resupply stop. The real question here is why the Republic is willing to host a Technocrat-flagged Outcast ship. It's also one that I don't think the Mollys would be willing to answer for me. But you might have some luck.

In any case, I'd like to loop back to the topic of the convoy so that we can discuss Veracruz in person. Alternatively, I can also just pay a visit to Akabat itself. Whatever works.

Could you do me a favour and get in touch with your Kusari associates? Astrophysics is investigating a few leads and they could use some information regarding Kusari's Jump Drive project. Specifically, the timeline of deployment and approximate location of test sites.

Let me know if that can be arranged.
