Subject: Relocation of headquarters

Harvey -

One of the (many) things I have been examing since my transfer from Sheffield Station is the possibility of relocation of our headquarters to Liberty space, due to the potential for damage in Bretonia space should the level of violence between Kusari and Bretonia escalate even further.

At this time, I must state that Liberty space is also unsafe for our operations. The Bretonian envoy ship was attacked recently in Manhattan orbit, and an assortment of beings (Nomads, to be precise) seem to show up in Liberty space entirely too often for comfort.

In examining the reports from our agents, I would recommend serious consideration be given to Planet Stuttgart, if the Rheinland government will cooperate. The presence of a floating battlestation - for what else is a battleship with the engines removed but that? - will help insure the safety of the men and women aboard the Doghouse. Granted, I know that what we do is not safe and we take risks every time we get in the cockpit of our ships, still, the administration staff normally isn't front line material.

On an unrelated note - there was a recent communication from an unaffiliated hunter that seemed rather - presumptous - in bandying about something for us to do. He also seems to be communicating things rather openly that ... aren't public knowledge. I'm just wondering if this person needs to have the SOP 14 protocol utilized.

Oh, and on a personal note - I transferred over here so fast that I forgot I still owe Sniffer a bar tab. I did send him a message telling him that you, Harvey, would be a good chap and pay it for me. I know you'll take care of it, especially since you still owe me for that incident after the holiday party. (It's only a few hundred credits.) And yes, I still have the pictures of you and you-know-who doing you know what - and they're still well hidden, and my barrister has an order about what to do if anything untoward happens to me. You still never have explained how the goat, the chimpanzee, and the two gallons of milk were needed, by the way. I AM actually curious about that part.
