Vice Admiral.

I apologise if I will ignore any kind of pleasantries and small talk in favour of coming straight to the point. Task Force Akhetaten is to immediately mobilise and prepare for special assignment. We know that the Task Force consists of the best of the best of the Navy in terms of covert operations.

Your assignment is as follows:

Kusari is seemingly preparing to escalate the tensions with either an invasion into Colorado through Galileo or by using their new Jump Drive technology. Both of these options require a massive amount of supplies. The admiralty board assumes that these supplies are being gathered somewhere in Shikoku. As you know, Liberty has moved Carrier Ohio to a somewhat secluded area near the Colorado gate and established a restricted zone while gathering ships and supplies there for our defence-fleet. Kusari, assuming they are smart, are probably doing the same.

Your mission: Enter Shikoku quietly and without being seen, find the staging and/or gathering point of their fleets and report back to command. It is important that none of your ships are being discovered under any circumstances. You might even wish to scramble their transponders to achieve our goal.

Command will deny any knowledge about this special assignment should word spread and this become public or your ships are being caught by Kusari.

Good luck, Vice Admiral and may god be with you all. In the name of Liberty.
