SUBJECT: Leave of absence
Harrison,
We have entered unprecedented peaceful times. The insurgency is long gone, the Outcasts are now far removed and have ceased to threaten Liberty directly, the Congress has decided to leave Crayter to prove they have a reason to exist on their own for once and recalled Yellowstone and even the Zoner relations have now normalised.
The Xenosurgency are bottled up in Ontario, and LSF has already entered the system to contain the brewing anomalies and will deal with them as a by-effect. In short, there is not much space for active front-line combat admirals such as yourself. More nuanced deep space ONI Missions and internal house security, utilising the RAPTORS led by VANGUARD have been the priority, and given there are no tangible direct threats on Liberty's horizon this will remain that way in the foreseeable future.
You are considered to be on personal leave for the time being, you are of course to uphold the secrecy of what you have learned in the Navy. Good luck in your private pursuits, but don't think for one second that should your house need you once more, and there would once again emerge an enemy that would require a mass mobilisation of conventional Naval forces, that we wouldn't call on you and expect you to come back to active duty.
Regards,
Blake Wayne Van Leer - Admiral of the Armada - 1st Armada
