Isaak:

Your information is very valuable, and corresponds to what I expected. A recent monitoring of communications between Harmony and the Gaian Cohort has given me an in to reach out to Harmony's Admiral Linford. I don't know what will come of it, but I will be taking the lead on communicating with her. I know that the Union will not abandon Bering, no matter any other circumstance. Not under current leadership. I just have to convince her of my sincerity.

As for the rest of it, I don't have the authority yet to make such a proposal. But I will. I have put the wheels in motion, and will be reaching out to the Hackers with an update and to get their consent. I will also be discussing my side of our bargain with them, in case of the worst. I've also decided to speak to the Gaians and see if they will back the play. Finally, I am meeting with an old friend inside the Union with a lot of influence, Franz Rousse, in the next few days to make an attempt to secure his backing as well. He is currently sending data back to Gallia, so I think I know the appropriate offering to get him on my side.

Your assignment now is to subtly reach out to any mercenaries you know whose reputation won't be soured by an association with the Union. Despite the Hackers and their belief this can be resolved with a vote, I'm not that hopeful. There will be blood, and possibly a lot of it. I'd like as many guns on our side as possible, but I can't make these queries directly because of the risk of discovery.

I hate to ask you to tap on your connections through Mr. Norovich again, but in this case, I must. Just make sure to stay far enough from his circles that he does not discover you or our intentions. The time approaches rapidly, Isaak. Stay safe and keep your head down.

Thank you,
Hunter
