Tidings.

As with Commander Reeves, I too have already begun an investigation into the recovery of Vice Admiral Hunter. Having seen first and foremost what we're up against, cooperation with external forces may be required, and thus I will take any measure necessary to bring her home.

As for the transfer of Rear Admiral Knight, alongside the Salem, I would like to request command of the "Longbow"-class cruiser Utah, which has recently been stationed in Virginia for refits and technological reevaluation. Her heavy armament and sleek profile should allow for a sturdy escort in the case the LSF decides to pull another move, and her crew stand ready to face any danger.

I await the word.

On guard, and on point.

Commander Kingston, out.
