****INCOMING TRANSMISSION****

COMM ID: [color=#99FFFF]David Hale
TARGET ID: 'The Girl in the Fire'
SUBJECT: CB/ToP
ENCRYPTION: High
PRIORITY: High

Evening.

Just looking through that, it presents a slightly more concerning twist. I know the CB are slowly and gradually being phased out of Navy budgeting. I can't say the idea of anyone increasing the population of Kansas any further makes me too happy, with the proximity of a certain pair of jumpholes.

But aside from that, seeing the CB pulling close ties with the ToP is a tricky issue. The ToP have been observed pirating in the fairly recent past, or so I understand. I'll be looking over those images, and possibly forwarding a slightly edited version to the LSF and the rest of my command structure to see what they make of it. Information is always a useful thing to have.

I might be able to make a visit of some sort soon, perhaps. Depeneds on a few things. I need to have a chat with you about something soon anyway... unrelated too all that above. Well sort of unrelated. You'll see.

I'll keep you updated anyway.

~ David.
