----------

Joshua Hunt,

The Texas Armada is a long way here. Seems to me you've been around for quite the while. The communication is done encrypted for my eyes only.

The communications with Baker and Teerin are of undoubtable viability and they've given you a chance. I have had reports or directly dealt with quite some of individuals mentioned in the dossiers provided. Conjuncting that information with what the ESRD has reported things are starting to fit in. If you wish, I can forward you such at any time. But not before I get the answers from you first.

Before Baker retired she dropped a notice in the Navy's Message dump and I can quote:

Fieldson, I wish you the best of luck, I have faith that you'll continue to lead well, and I only hope that your career won't be marred by as many black spots as mine. Anyway, I guess that's it then.

I'm not sure as to what Baker is referring to as black spots, but I'd say I've already had one. Not that I'm looking forward to more.

Forgiving you is not something I can do outright. Not given the current situation. Nor would it be good image for the whole Navy. And you can never pretend that nothing happened in Cortez or here. Nor can I, nor can the 5th.

These documented communications have proved of the plausibility of your information. Yet such events are contradictory to Maverick's words and your connection with the Cincinnati still needs explaining. Keep in mind Hunt that my patience has been running thin. Soon it'd rather see it destroyed and it's crew and affiliates dead than capturing and seizing it back. I don't like nor do I accept loose ends.

For now you've got yourselves some time. I'm going to require some good explaining on the matter if you wish to gain trust or any form of cooperation from me.

If you are feeling nervous over the neural net, I know how to handle it if a face-to-face discussion is what you're looking for.

Clock's tickin' Hunt. Make haste.

Harriet Fieldson
Fleet Admiral, First Fleet
