McIntire startled, sorting his papers and beginning his report.
The Essex Fleet is at the moment in an overall good state. Our fights with the Mollys continue as expected but the intensity is nothing we can't handle. In last time there is even a decrease in firefights with them, but there is no apparent reason for it. Maybe the conflict cools down a bit or their ressources are shrinking. Only time will tell I'm afraid.
There are other news though, in the last months we sighted once and again ships of either Kusarian or Gallic origin, some with Nomadic equipment, some without but all highly aggressive. But this incididents decreased in numbers leately, too. Nevertheless you should be informed.
The overall safety of the mining operations could be mantained, but of course we couldn't hinder every single attack.
Overall the situation is getting better. Slight optimism is not inappropriate at this time.
For Edingburgh I cant report much apart from what we see on occasional guerilla attacks. The system is used as a gateway to supply the troops of the GRN at the front. I try to make their job as hard as possible, but the resources I have are insufficient for bigger strikes and I dont risk men and equipment in unecessary fights there.
That is all, madam.
He leans back again, apparently content with what he just reported. He hoped that the good news might even lead to some interesting task for him. Correspondingly relaxed he awaited the next reports.
