Admiral Solandros,

Playing hard to get I see.

I cannot give you, them or anyone else any assurances that Bretonia as a whole won't come crashing down upon them should the knowledge of the Atum becomes public knowledge. However, the same goes for myself and my entire team. We are very much acting outside of the playbook dictated by the government. If any government officials were to discover my communications with yourself, I'm sure the Crown would not be too pleased. I'd be strung up as it were. What Bretonia needs, is very far from what it wants. More so for humanity as a whole.

Now consider this, the Crayter Republic has millions of refugees from all over the place on Yuma. Trade ships and supply vessels are passing Sabah Shipyard on an hourly basis, if not more. Yet there's a honking great vessel, sat pissing in the wind, right there, for everyone and their mothers to see. It's certainly not a Crayter vessel. While we can hope regular people won't recognise the origins of such a thing, Liberty certainly will. The Battleship Concord is sat with her escorts, two jumps away. The quicker the Atum is repaired to an operable state and moved out of there, the better for everyone.

Liberty is extremely active in the Coronado system, given the whole damn system got fried. The Liberty Security Force is almost certainly aware of it just sat there. When, not if, they decide to act, I won't be able to do any more for it. Relations with Liberty are... strained at best.

For the moment I will do everything within my power to ensure that no harm comes to your vessel, whether it's officially there or not, nor the Crayter Republic offering it a safe harbour in the face of a monumental storm.

That, regrettably, is the only assurance I am able to give.

Fairfax out.
