Congratulations are in order. We see that the latest conflict has been very rewarding and positive for your career, exploding it from the previous rank of Captain.
Please allow me to address each one of your points, we are of course grateful that you are bringing these issues to our attention. First of all Felicity Willing and "Static" is the same person so we are talking about one operative. This operative as well as many many others have received instructions to head to Bering system, speak with both sides and the unaffiliated, decipher their motives, goals and objectives. You see, this conflict is considered by the Professorship as extremely central to our interests and while you have unequivocally dismissed any prospect for peace, we are still working on it behind the scenes. And in order to achieve this noble goal, our operatives have been granted a lot of freedom to operate as they see fit. We understand why this would make you suspicious but the operatives have clear instructions to not act directly against any side. Legally obtaining sensitive information is one thing, feeding to the other side is another.
For example, Admiral Linford, based on our intelligence reports and Harmony database messages we know that you have been one of the biggest advocates for this war forsaking your true enemies and mission as Separatists but allowing you a series of top-level promotions. In any case, Ms Willing will be reassigned somewhere else and she will not bother you any longer.
As for the matter of Natio Octavarium supplying the Unioners in Bering, you must see the greater picture. While you were busy cozying up to the Hellfire Legion, isolating yourselves from your allies and friends, the Unioners engaged in an unprecedented Public Relations campaign, successfully painting Battlegroup Harmony as the sole aggressor and warmonger. Their plight has brought many under their banner, your former friends the Gaians and Natio Octavarium being just some of them. The Unioners have exploited your vulnerability because soldiers are not politicians or diplomats; something which I described and I warned you about in my message at July 30th. The tables are turning in Bering and not exactly in your favor.
The supply convoy in question was carrying civilian goods, including alcohol, and no LH transport participated. Nevertheless we have already declared that we will continue doing business with both of our allies, with the exception of military supplies as that could compromise our neutrality. In fact only Harmony continues to receive maintenance and spare parts for their LH military-grade equipment and ships, despite lobbying from the Unioners to stop that. If we are forced to stop trading with one of our allies, then we will have no choice but to enter this war.
Later this day, the Unioners will commence a conference to discuss future strategies and possible alliances. As they have been courting and lobbying intensely for our support, they have invited the Lane Hackers as well. If you have a message for them let us know and we will announce it during the conference.
