Hello again, Chloe. I hope you're doing well?

I've reviewed your pointers and brought them up with the Commander for discussion. So I can report back as follows:

Your first comment is noted and warrants no specific response.

With regard to your second, we understand, and foresee no difficulty in enforcing a degree of restraint upon militia pilots assigned to patrol duty across Ontario. You fought alongside these men, and this is not so easily forgotten.

To your third, while the Zoners, Freelancers, and even the people of Malta would prove not so problematic to exclude from prejudice by patrols, the Junkers, Hogosha, and ALG would not fall under such a category.

Even if the Commander was to agree to this, the Free Council most assuredly wouldn't. There are active conflicts with these parties which preclude any form of detente. I'm afraid I have to disappoint you here by admitting that there is no compromise that I'm authorized to present on this subject. You would naturally not be prohibited from continuing to rely on these parties for shipments. But if they are caught, then interdiction and ejection are likely.

The remaining two will be subject to appropriate and relevant provision. I'll get back to you shortly with the revised draft, at this stage though and given what's been stated do you have any objections?

"There is hope under the White Star."
- Adjutant Oscar Bancroft
