Signor Ortega, it's been a while since the last War Council, let me bring you up to news,

I can't report a good amount of good news. The one worthy of attention is the discovery of a jump hole in sector 7D, leading to Omega-48 system. Unfortunately it's unstable for capital vessels, so our supply freighters and patrols to and from Casablanca will have to suffice. This comes with an obvious cost, as both Coalition and IMG can pour into Dublin unhindered, therefore making our lives more complicated.

On the other hand, the bad news keep flowing like a fucking waterfall. Recent reports indicate an increased Hessian presence in Omega-41, more than the usual that can be found on Freeport 5, relentlessly harassing our supply lines. Add to that a bunch of ships of unknown affiliation attacking both us and the Hessians. With the collapse of the Omega-11 jump hole, the Hessian presence should've dropped significantly, but the opposite is happening. I fear they established a foothold within the system. With the incompetence of the Brotherhood and Deterrence, it's up to us to further investigate, otherwise with our supply lines cut we'll become sitting ducks within Dublin. With Omega-41 blockaded from within, ourselves and other Corsair assets within the Omegas will be cut away, with supplies stop flowing to and from Crete.

Speaking of incompetents, that bunch of fools managed to piss off the Order. Reports say that their aspiring goals of becoming a shipping company thought it's a splendid idea to ship vast quantities of Artifacts to Kusari in plain sight, which got the Corsairs in an even more precarious position than we were. Ignoring the failure of their Artifact rush towards Kusari, in the near future we might face a new front against the Order. Not that I care about them, but our precious assets are already spread out too thin.

There's one more thing. The battlecruiser Penitence reported a renewal of Hessian attacks within Dresden and it's in desperately need of supplies and reinforcements. This is by far the worst out of them, since the Penitence is deep within enemy lines with no safe direct passage to provide any kind of support. The only tactical move available is an aggressive push on the Hessians on all fronts, forcing them to commit reinforcements from their main turf in Dresden. With any hopes, this will ease the pressure on Penitence, stabilizing the situation.

I can't stress how deep is the shit we're in, Guildmaster. Either we protect our backs, or we should brace for impact and hope it won't hurt.
