"Re: Gateway event"

Do not try to lay the blame on our operatives when you are the one who led them and the Sentinels to Sigma-21 in the first place. Recordings clearly show that Port Said came under attack before Vigil-1 and Empress approached.

If this is all you know, I would suggest you accelerate your research or finally accept the Order's offer of assistance to provide you with the resources you need. If an attack like the one on Port Said occurred in house space, the result would be a catastrophe. We cannot allow that to happen. We need to know what exactly we are fighting and how to do so effectively. This means we need your expertise - if you possess any.

It is only a matter of time before Overwatch wises up to just how precarious a situation Kepler and surrounding house space is in. And when they do, I am afraid they will take a far more aggressive approach towards solving the problem.

Do not mistake my irritation for a threat. But I have experienced often enough what wanton destruction Nomads are capable of to have little patience for anything that may stop us from preventing an even greater threat in the form of the Sentinels from descending upon mankind. We have neither the time nor the resources to allow any further misunderstandings and mistakes.

Hawkins, out.
