Good morning.
As you already know, a few days ago there was an assault on Freeport 9 with Core marine infantry and Zoner volunteers from Gran Canaria, in order to recover the station. Our Pontifical Guard has collaborated in transporting some of those soldiers to their objective, although none of our combatants have participated in the assault.
As far as the Field Maestre has been able to find out, the results of the operation have not been satisfactory. The assault forces, although very numerous, failed to take the station, and they barely managed to rescue part of the zoner personnel who were being held hostage. Currently the freeport has been retaken by the Corsairs, who continue to hold part of the crew as prisoners. At the moment, we aren't aware of any other military operations planned.
The most dramatic thing about this situation is that during the assault, another of the biodomes was destroyed. Let us remember that two other of the previous biodomes had already been seriously damaged during the naval battle around the freeport two months ago. This leaves a single active biodome at the base. I think this will trigger feeding issues throughout Theta, and most likely Gamma as well. Freeport 9 was a main and important supply point for both systems, so a famine is likely to break out.
In our case, I've to say that we shouldn't be worried about food shortages. Our Biodome 2 in Faith Haven produces enough food to supply the entire settlement, and we even have enough to store. Likewise, we continue to build the two remaining biodomes that we started in our expansion plan, and when they are ready, Biodome 4 will house a crop area equal to that of Biodome 2. However, I'm not aware of what the situation is in the rest of the Pygar settlements. It's likely that many of them don't have agricultural infrastructure like ours, and that they may experience serious food shortages.
You will agree with me that we cannot sit on our abundance while our neighbors starve. Deux Our Lord entrusts us to help our human brothers when they go through difficult times, and this is something that we cannot avoid. That's why, if there is no opposition, I'll proceed to contact Administrator Voncloud, to offer him part of our plant food production to supply the other settlements.
Of course this will mean that we will have to tighten our belts and we will have to subject Faith Haven to rationing. Furthermore, this effort will not be enough to solve this problem, we don't produce nearly as much food to supply the entire planet. However, it will be enough to slightly reduce the hardships of the other settlements, so there is no possible doubt, we must do it.
Let us keep Faith in Deux, and in our commitment to fulfill its Sacred Mandate, and let us hope that there is some possible solution to this whole disaster.
