FOR 1FLT ADMIRALTY EYES ONLY

Esteemed colleagues of the Admiralty. Yesterday I have sent a communique to Commodore Edwards of the Fourty-Sixth fleet. He has served under my command in the 5FLT for some time before his transfer. I have taken the liberty to inquire about the current border-situation and I have to honestly say that I am shocked with what I have read. He has given me access to an after-action report of a recent conflict in Galileo.

After reading through the presented logs of the report, it came to my attention that Fleet Admiral Kemp-Smith has taken it into his own hands to break the fragile peace with Kusari. We have had border skirmishes before with Kusari in Galileo, yet, it never ended with anyone breaching the sovereign space of the other until now. It does not surprise me that after the incursion into their space and the return to Galileo, a skirmish broke out between the Navy and the Naval Forces. Actions have consequences.

Many know me as someone who is direct and speaks her mind and I shall continue to do so. This seems like a deliberate move to cause an escalation from mere skirmishes to a full-out war. I do not need to remind you that this was done without the approval of the Government. We are the tip of the spear. Liberty points the spear and we act. The Government has yet to point us into the direction of Kusari. We should make sure to not escalate it further and I request an official investigation about this incursion of Shikoku. We can't have navy personnel actively attempting to undermine Liberty's diplomacy. Kusari is a thorn and they keep rattling sabres, however, if we give into that, we will be seen as the great evil that wishes to wage war on another house for seemingly no reason but little gain within the Galileo system.

A full on war must be avoided at all cost until Kusari invades our sovereign space and the Government points the spear at them.
