It seems the rumors our marines picked up while training at Cairo have proven accurate. Unfortunately, the timing couldn’t be worse. As you’re likely aware, certain Corsairs hold us in rather low regard, placing us in a precarious position. We can’t afford to antagonize the Core—who engage Corsairs on a daily basis—as we also risk endangering both Freeport 11 and Athens, given their proximity to the Core’s primary Omicron installation.
Still, there’s a silver lining. Through our agreement, 2,500 of our marines have received advanced training from your forces. The first wave is already instructing new recruits at our stations, and at present, 250 marines remain at Cairo, ready to assist you in any capacity. If needed, we can likely spare a few more.
We’ve also built up a substantial weapons stockpile—around 50,000 weapons crates of Daumann, Detroit, and even Gallic weaponry—currently stored at Pygar, Corfu, and Livadia. We can send you those stationed at Livadia your way. Given the Core’s brutal actions at Gammu, there should be no objection to redirecting those shipments to the Order.
Moreover, we can help evacuate non-combatants and relocate critical equipment. Kadesh has enough space to take on the entire station’s population, should it come to that.
I’m not fully aware of the size of the Core fleet you’ll be facing, but if you believe you can hold the line, we’ll ship whatever you need.
Otherwise, if evacuation is your plan, we can assist in stripping Cairo to the bare minimum and leave behind some fissile material to create a trap that might take out as many Core vessels as possible.
Please let us know what you expect from us, and we’ll act accordingly.
