Honourable Mr Redfire,
We are heading in!? I can attend the briefing in the Barrier Gate, but I am afraid that I am too valuable to throw my life away in such a risky mission. I can send some men, equipment and funds, but if I ever enter Leeds myself before it is liberated, it will be in a battleship.
Concerning your plan, I am content with it. I fully approve the usage of our enemy against our enemy. I noticed that bombardment by the Oubli fleet might be a problem, so I could organize a raid at the same time the mission is appointed for, if you find it necessary.
By the way, please tell me the mercenaries' account numbers where I can send them the credits, if it is ten million or so we are talking about. It is true that my salary is rather low, much lower than ten or even one million, and I am complaining about it every day, but I have other means of acquiring income.
