Well, gentlemen and women. Some interesting things are going on around our bases, seemingly. I had thought Dublin would be a little more serene for us after we started active cooperation with the Molly mining efforts. And now a Kusari agent decides to throw this all into disarray? And doing so under Guild flag? I've taken the liberty to disable ms. Korsic's access to the guildcomms.
Mr. Henderson, you are cleared to apprehend this Kusari agent and turn her over to the Bretonian authorities. Enlist Bretonian aid if need be, I suspect the Bretonian intelligence service will be highly interested in capturing a Kusari agent. The Guild needs to drive a point home to Kusari it seems, that neutrality must come from both ends. First the continuous Hogosha provocations and their open cooperation with the Corsairs, and now this. Enough is enough.
And of course we'll stay in Dublin. Push come to shove we'll have to restrict mining operations to the Arranmore field for a while. I doubt the Armed Forces would act against us based on the actions of a single person, they've got bigger fish to fry in northern Leeds. More likely they'll demand this person to be brought before a Bretonian court - A BPA matter. BMM is another story though, be on the lookout for any mercenaries behaving suspiciously, especially the Mandelorian. That would be how I'd retaliate, were I in their position.
NLH will take time. Reavers are a better alternative, although I get the feeling the Mollies won't exactly be pleased to see us working with them.
Mr. Desari. You seem to have a lot going on with you at present. Perhaps it would be best if you take a leave of absence from Guild service, to focus on your personal problems. Especially those of a medical nature. I will not order you to do so - but I would strongly recommend it. Perhaps a visit to the Cambridge research facility would be beneficial to you. I still know a few of the folks there, they might be able to help you out.
Mr. Lecalve, it's good to see a few support craft up and running. Should a repair vessel be spotted actively supporting an enemy fleet (by supplying repair nanobots and shield batteries to the enemy fleet), you are cleared to engage and destroy it by any means neccesary - including capital ship engagements. It is not a violation to do so if the repair transport is actively assisting an engagement. Combat repair craft are not there in a civilian capacity and are thus exempt from civilian law. Naturally, the same goes for your own vessel, so take this into consideration when you use it. These repair ships are intended to assist light capital vessels such as cruisers, or resupply vessels that pull back from the front. They are not meant to be in a firefight themselves.
As for your initial request to brand the new Argus to IMG|Jade: I'm afraid we'll need to deny that. The Guild keeps it's direct capital fleet to a minimum, for practical reasons. You are free to name her as you see fit, without the IMG| prefix.
Miss Schuster. I concur with your assessment of the Nomad threat. If the Nomads thus far have remained passive to our mining operations, I see no reason to take action to incite them. The primary task of the Defense branch is the safety of our Guild members - let the Order and the Bountyhunters go after the Nomads instead. These aliens are not our concern, until they prove otherwise. I'm not sure what Order thinks it's doing in the upper Taus of late - I suspect they're launching out of Freeport 6 or 10, or those ICMG carriers in Orkney. To my knowledge, your own informal contact with one of them was the most we've ever had.
Should Order vessels ever demand assistance, kindly inform them they hold no rank over you. We have no standing agreements with the Order.
