All,

You are all on this message for one key reason. You are either part of the command structure of the Fourth Octavarium Fleet or you are in a position that will allow us to ensure the success of the Fleet's ability to keep our tiny nation safe while we continue to recover from our exile and near-demise.

I will be convening a meeting over the next few days aboard Melbourne Station to determine the path forward for research and development of our Fleet's capital-class force projection and defensive warships. Taskmaster Escher is representing the Octavarium Intelligence Commission in this endeavour. Commander Harper and Lieutenant Clemens will be representing the Fourth Octavarium Fleet and Fleet R&D as officers. Specialist Deacon has been invited due to her background with multiple organizations throughout Sirius and her knowledge of their technologies. Specialist Illat's history with our nation as well as the Lane Hackers and Ageira Technologies will be invaluable in maximizing the efficiency of the active and passive sensors and EWAR units connected to the LIMELIGHT system.

Three civilians have been brought in for this meeting as well. Johnathan Jones is the chief executive of Aquila Defense Systems and will be instrumental in securing locations for us to build our capital ship prototypes. Darren Wilson is one of Aquila's chief engineers and will be instrumental in organizing the engineers and technicians under his authority as well as providing key guidance in the design of the ship alongside Lieutenant Clemens. Lastly, John Riley of the Octavarium Mercantile Guild has been invited due to his position of respect within the Guild, which will undoubtedly be a success factor in our ability to procure and deliver required materials.

I look forward to seeing you all at the quorum.

Harold Kane
