She no longer has a choice in this matter.

The CNS leak, if verified, and it would certainly confirm some suspicions, will unleash a shift in naval warfare as we know it. I am calling for an emergency meeting at once. The utmost effort must be made to replicate such technology if possible, and you have put this woman back into your research and development efforts.

Ponder for a moment what will happen when, and it is a when, the Libertonians manage to recreate this. Our trick in the independent worlds would no longer be able to save us. Jump gates (and perhaps more fortunately for us, holes) will have at most half the relevance they once had militarily. The Libertonian fleet could bypass any defence we put up with little notice. Kusari could outflank us in the Sigmas unfettered.

If we do not deal with this, our relevance as a power will fade into twilight. And God help us if any of those lunatics hiding beyond House space manage to create one of these.

Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!

Hochachtungsvoll,
Erich von Richter
Großadmiral der Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr
