Dr. Thorn,

I'm afraid the circumstances of Warlock's death are classified.

I would like to hear what news you have of the developments in Coronado, if it isn't too much trouble.

In service to humanity,
Belmont

Captain,

I appreciate th...that the last we spoke I was curt. I'm sure you can understand that I was upset at the time at loosing a friend.

May I suggest you have a word with your allies about the merits of maintaining the anonymity of intelligence sources? Fr...frankly, I'm surprised I'm not star dust already. It might not be long until I am. If they burn assets like this you're going to run out of concerned citizens to churn through.

Dr. Thorn,

I am Lieutenant Colonel Catherine Hawkins, Captain Belmont's superior. I forwarded the intelligence you provided us with to the Xeno Alliance with the express instructions to share it only internally. I am disappointed to learn that these instructions were disobeyed and have resulted in such a concerning breach of operations security.

If there is anything Section 8 can do to compensate you for the troubles you may have experienced, please inform me on this channel.

In service to humanity,
Hawkins

Lieutenant Co...c...Colonel Hawkins,

It is reassuring to me th...that this situation was unintentional from Section 8's point of view. I understand the inclusion of my identity wh...when forwarding the information to the Xeno Alliance was necessary for them to trust a familiar source.

It is di...disappointing to see my safety was a se...se...secondary consideration in their eyes. They better ma...make the trade worthwhile.

Lieutenant Colonel, if it is not too much to request, would it be possible to use your facilities at Sendai as a sa...safe haven if this does prove to endanger my safety?

Dr. Thorn,

Alliance Commander Cobra has assured me that the dissemination of your intelligence among the Militants was necessary and worthwhile. I will have to trust his judgment on the matter. He has also assured me that there will be no repeat of this mistake.

You have permission to dock at Sendai Research Complex under the condition that you inform us of your intent to do so and the circumstances that require it prior. You will be provided with encrypted IFF codes to verify your identity upon approach. Be aware that the Blood Dragons may refuse you at their discretion.

In service to humanity,
Hawkins
