Well - let's face it, I don't care one bit about what the Navy has lost in Orkney. And one of the more reasonable Order agents even admitted there has never been devastation on Leeds' scale from these things - we are fighting against a vile enemy and you will excuse us if we will treat this alien threat as secondary for now mon amie.
That doesn't mean we will not take them seriously if the Gaians think we should, I will be the first to admit we have been often naive and ignorant when it comes to Sirian affairs - the mountain we have to climb domestically is just too steep for us to engage in due dilligence as we look for allies and support in Sirius desparately. Kirkwall is a vital base, was key in The Noble Funeral and it cannot be lost.
We will despatch our cloak supply vessels to quietly bolster your supplies there as first act of cooperation, and we will join any and all strikes against the things - our activity in the unknown system behind the Roussillon anomaly has been escalating recently, we will make sure to always avoid capture and will share more data with you as we collect them.
A plan has been brewing to use the newly discovered system as a fall-back option if Roussillon gets compromised and to build up covert infrastructure in one of the nebulae - for that we would need to eradicate whatever alien opposition lies there first.
