Hey,

I've lately been spending a lot of my free time in Sigma-13. I'm starting to really like the place, Manoel Outpost is barely populated and really lets me to be alone with my own thoughts. Only shame is that in all of those clouds I can't really enjoy the sun, but I guess it's a fair price to pay for tranquility. So that really brings me to the reason as to why I'm contacting you - I've noticed the National Council doesn't really hold much interest in the Sigmas and has mostly focused on the Tau sector and Bretonia, which isn't bad in any way, don't get me wrong. But at the same time that lead to a rather nasty scenario in which Manoel had a shortage of cardamine supplies because of the lack of transports bringing any and that forced me to call for some express deliveries.

So I've asked around the station about who's actually in charge, but people seem to be as clueless as me. Some say the last administrator got shot, others say he just left for Malta because he hated the blue clouds, but all of these claims sound like rumors to me. Maybe there was never an administrator to begin with? And that's why I'm contacting you, we both know you're tight with the National Council so I'd love it if you could ask them if they got any plans for the outpost and if they know who's actually in charge of the place. I really like the station and I believe it would be a real shame if it just ends up being abandoned.

Also I'm sure you would agree that losing our main foothold in the Sigmas would be bad in our territorial war with the Corsair Empire. They've already been gaining influence over Rheinland and found allies inside it's borders, but the Sigma systems are still their only way in. I hope you and the Council would both agree that this base is a valuable asset.

Hope to hear from you soon,
Eliza
