The Fontana Summit

[Reeves]

"Smoke if you'd like. But to your point regarding skepticism over how effective destroying the DSE vessel would be, I think the facts speak for themselves. The gate being used by the LSF to ship in supplies and reinforcements is hanging on by a thread that only the Robert Peary and its repair ships maintain. Kill the ship, you kill the supply line that banks entirely on the gate." This war had to be fought asymmetrically, there was no other way for a union of pirates and terrorists to deal with the sheer force of arms a Great House could bring to bear. Especially not in the event that this conflict was allowed to persist without interruption. The LFR needed more time, Damien knew this. Finding ways to buy that time was the challenge.

The display flashed again, this time displaying a brief video loop of a gunboat scale nomad warform being engaged by a pair of Xeno bombers and a Hacker gunship. Without saying anything further, Damien glanced in the direction of Golanski and Senator as this was their domain. If indeed the threat of the LSF being a proactive party in the system could be alleviated, the absolute next priority was the total elimination of the Nomads raiding Sudbury's orbit. Followed soon after by a potential counter-assault on Inverness.

But he kept that to himself.
