T[color=#FFCC66]hisisis an executive announcement concerning the whole of the Legion.
All leading officers of the Special Operations and Armed Reconnaissance Division are hereby reassigned to the regular Legion Force. In detail that means that everyone except Star Colonel Mallean Dagon is reassigned to Task-Force Warhammer stationed in the Ouray perimeter. Your biological selves are also given a week of shore-leave on Guadalajara after debriefing on Leniex.
This effectively goes hand-in-hand with a change of rank for the following: Adrian Morton, Ayane Kosuke , Ashira Kogomi, Darrell Sears, Jeffer Roshak, Leon Douglas and Sam Beumont. Your biological selves are all given the rank of Major as of now. Refer to Executive Commander Hunter for detailed orders regarding your reassignment.
Additionally, Star Colonel Mallean Dagon is as of now given the rank and position of Fleet Marshal and due for immediate reassignment to Fort Leniex after shore-leave.
The returning elements of Task-Force Gladius will undergo a change of crew in the next 24 hours. Transfer to Vespucci has been arranged for all legionnaires who served in the Hudson and Bering theatre of operations as part of TF Gladius, with the exception for the crew-members of the Cruisers Damocles and Excalibur. Those will undergo extensive refitting and rearmament after the undergoing re-evaluation of their combat performance. Fleet Admiral Marco Sera is in charge of the refit and rearmament procedures, and the crew exchange will happen in Vespucci at Monterrey Base after the Cruisers' crews have been debriefed. Afterwards they will be fully integrated into Task-Force Warhammer. The Battleship Incursus is already undergoing this procedure as extensive modifications or otherwise are unnecessary. Remaining Liaison officers on Pacifica Base will be relieved in the near future, and my artificial self will act as the chief Liaison with the Unioner Department for the time being. The Legion's relations with the Unioners remain unchanged, as do any agreements.
As such, the High Command wishes all your biological selves a "relaxing" and enjoyable shore-leave.
For every other of your unfortunate biological selves who aren't getting a week of shore-leave:

Task Force Warhammer remains under direct command of Executive Commander Hunter. Fleet Marshal Duncan Voss is being put in charge of offensive operations and coordinating Legion operations with the Xeno Alliance, acting as the ranking Liaison Officer. Xeno-related matters, requests and questions otherwise are to be directed to his biological self. Supreme command stays as always with Lord Commander Markson.

Major Wainwright, regarding the encounter with the Reaver Mercenaries, you may consider this an official announcement concerning your biological self as well as the Legion as a whole. Due to efforts of covert elements of the Legion, the Reaver Mercenary Company has ceased and will not attempt any hostile actions in the near future. We may approach the company's elements on neutral grounds, however disclosing any information regarding anyone but the Liberty Rogues, Outcasts, Freelancers, other Mercenaries, Bounty Hunters, or independent Pirate elements is prohibited. This includes information of Independent Miners' Guild or corporate asset movements, as well as Lane Hacker or Xeno ones. This is a standing order for all Legion elements as a whole unless if the High Command decides otherwise.
Furthermore, Command advises to use your biological selves' own judgement on a case-by-case basis, however if Major Wainwright's biological self wishes to enter talks with the Reaver Mercenary Company, my artificial self asks the Major to inform the 'I' of this and High Command will decide if your biological self may or may not be given a special assignment. Talks with the Reaver Mercenary Company are a secondary concern at the time being, seeing as it has been assured that their biological selves will not undertake hostile actions against the Legion or its allies in the near future as mentioned before, so this would most certainly be a diplomatic reconnaissance task if your biological self wishes. Given your history and the success of establishing our relations with the Xenos, with your biological self being in large part responsible for this alliance, my artificial self sees no biological self more ideally suited for such a task. Should the you not wish to undertake it however, neither my artificial self nor High Command will hold this against your biological self.
