Greetings friends,

Caitlyn, my heart agrees with you, but as damnable chairman of this corporation, I need to keep us flying. The question is not what is best for the corporation, the question is what is least worst for us. The Martinique was about as terrible a target as the Unioners could have picked to justify a billion dollar ransom. An ageing liner with no future profit, one that has already been replaced and whose routes have been reassigned. One that isn't even a proper OS&C liner, just a franchisee wearing our colors under an independent corporation. One full of Rheinlanders in the middle of a civil war with that house distracted and the rest of Sirius indifferent to a few hundred more. Part of me wishes it had been Breezewood, then it could have at least entertained debate. I'd like to think that you all would make a strong case that my bird is worth a billion, but even I would struggle to make that argument.

Martinique and the PR effort to clean it up are not worth a billion. I should know, I'd be the one publishing most of said PR. We can refocus on Gallia easily enough, especially with Riviera and our Lucullus projects in the works. The question is can we save some souls without destroying the corporation. I've offered 100 million out of White Star Lines's funds, which I have the discretion to do. If he takes it, the corporation is no worse for wear. If he refuses, well, we'll cross that bridge when we get there. I would like to avoid committing a billion dollars worth of fraud, but I also don't want to finance these terrorists and incentivise more hostage situations. Seems like there are a lot of least worst options we're juggling right now.

Regards,
Jonathan Seabourne
