Agent Duval,
I recently received a report from Agent Michaud regarding the Baffin meeting. I am pleased to hear the operation went off without a hitch. The Office will continue negotiations with the Bureau.
Your new orders are as follows: As captain of the Dea Matrona, you are entrusted with the expedition into the Sigma cluster and all related operations. As usual, your vessel will be accompanied by at least two agents. A file detailing the goals of your expedition will be created in the Operations Database. All discoveries are to be documented either by yourself or by one of your agents.
Our arrangements with the Naval Forces for free passage are likely short-lived. I advise you to depart at the first opportunity to avoid complications and possible delays while traveling through Kusari space.
I expect to see first results within two weeks from your departure.
Cordialement,
Victor Pelletier
Directeur of the Office of Naval Intelligence
