We need to speak urgently.

I will be expecting you in Sanctum in 2 standard hours. The matter is sensitive and needs to be conducted in person. Let me give you the preliminary.

As you recall, some months ago, the Roman Praetorian Prefecture of Sirius departed from Corsair space in a surprising and mysterious turn of events. Salazar Caesar and his people left on a ship without a trace. We weren't able to decipher any information until last night when some of my engineers made a breakthrough aboard Ravenna Invicta. They uncovered the cargo, manifest, and personnel on the ship that left. I immediately deleted the files from the base and kept the only copy for myself. It seems our friend Salazar was more informed than I anticipated - enough to take something of great value from me. Enough for me to take a personal interest in his location.

Despite repeated attempts and various methods employed, our men are unable to break the encryption on the data we managed to restore and glean additional information. On a hunch, I asked the team to check if there's any similarity between any of the codes we've encountered in the past from Kusari Naval Intelligence and there was a possible match. You know how he was obessessed with foreign culture. It's not much but it's a lead and I want the ship found - at any cost. Based on preliminary info, it looks like I'll need to use some finesse if I am to get any of the data unlocked. The task is of great importance to me and in such matters - there's only one way to be sure. This is something that I will have to do personally. Before you protest and claim this is a wild chase with no substance - leave the debate for when we meet in my quarters and you have the full picture. I've made up my mind, don't try to change it.

I plan to depart tomorrow. I've acquired a HFX-F1A "Falchion" Border Worlds Fighter in good condition that will do the job. You are one of the few people that know my history prior to Deterrence. I'll use some of my old contacts to improve its capabilities before beginning my search. After that I plan to reach out to some more unorthodox parties. I've already obtained some forged documents under the name of ''Rayne Dassan''. The current ship transponder code will match with the registry as ''Gehenna''. My friend assured me, that it's completely scrubbed. I plan to take extra measures, once my contact in Bretonia is done with it, it will match our databanks as ''Persephone''. I'll stay off the grid and away from our networks at that point. If I do end up in some real trouble though, I'll send a message on open Corsair frequencies with a contact ID of ''Pale Exuberance''. Do keep an eye out.

I'll use the old data from the Ravenna Invicta to gain some favors. It's useless to our enemies, we'll already modified and made complete structural changes, improved its defenses, and swapped all encryptions since Salazar's last used it. It might open some doors for me at no risk to our assets or Corsair interests.

Given the fact that this mission's time-frame is impossible to estimate - that naturally leads me to my next order. Massimo, you have full tactical command. That's right, you are the next Executor. With Lucas, as your second in command to keep you out of trouble. I'm sure the rest of the Conclave will also have your back. I know it's unexpected but I have full faith in you given the recent operational successes. Our smuggling ring and exports are at peak efficiency, our fleet is strong, our faith unshakeable. I am sure both of you will do me proud and lead the Deterrence with success until my return. Or carry on my legacy if I get killed. I wish we had time to celebrate the occasion but things never pan out the way you expect them, si?

I'll be expecting you for the full authorization, data, and all tactical files in my quarters. I need to give you a complete operation debrief before I leave. We'll have some surprises for our amigos mutuos.

Nos vemos en breve,
Ravenna Nagash
