Director,

If the intel you've outlined is indeed accurate, it is safe to assume that any attempt to acquire the Niyodo Drive would result in a drastic waste of time and resources. As with many here, Third Fleet Admiralty has reassessed that securing the Planet Sudbury perimeter is of the utmost importance to Liberty forces at this time.

I am still of the mind that Tuscaloosa and her cohort are in an important position, and that Battlegroup Yellowstone should be utilized where necessary. The latter is already providing reinforcement support for forces in Ontario, and while the loss of her support in suppressing activity in California would be measurable, Battlegroup Concord is still in a suitable position to pick up any remaining duties.
This is, however, formally the LSF's operation. Should they deem that Battlegroups Lehigh and Tuscaloosa are adequate enough, then I will defer to their judgement.
