The Thoth didn't said that. He said that he entered Alaska because "two Order agents" [VHF/Bomber] saw a Liberty Navy ship,the Bennington didn't wanted to enter Omicron Minor,but the Thoth didn't knew that Order Capital Ships are banned from Alaska..so he engaged the LNS-Bennington...And oh..if you really want to supply the Atum do it with some transports.Not with a Battleship.
And don't try to change the subject on "supply activity" because the Thoth said a very different thing.
And I can prove that with the chat log.
