Unfortunately, we are not in a situation where the loss of the battlegroup would increase our security. The Union was... rather relying upon them, to keep Bering secure whilst we re-arm ourselves. It would also be an unsustainable morale loss. I cannot provide the exact details without interfering with subjects beyond my paygrade but we are presently recovering from the total self-destruction of the LWB and in-process integrating their separate command hierarchy. Furthermore, it appears that there has been a successful assassination attempt upon Arbeitsdirektor Hansel Garen by foreign forces. Without his comparatively popular figurehead, the Unioners risk reverting into a bundle of separate, self-intrested cells. Damage containment is consuming the majority of our focus - if the Unioners believe the efforts and resources we have exerted into protecting the Harmony have been squandered, then our regime is politically doomed.

Then there is the personal factor. My private assessment is still that Knight simply is not aware what she has gotten herself caught up in. The Legion offered her aid and she assisted it without absolute consideration for the long-term. Harmony is still incredibly vulnerable and the Legion is a major threat to them. She likely saw the Legion's hand as a means of threat neutralisation.


I propose that we tell a lie, to reinforce the truth. Hellfire is attempting to undermine us and make us appear unreliable to lead the Battlegroup to its doom. They will bring out the knife eventually, yes, but what if the treason of the Legion was.... performed.... before their trap is sprung?

Hackers. You have the best IFF masking technology in the cosmos, do you not? We, by contrast, are possessed of no less than seven Prosecutor fighter prototypes from when the model was brought into service six years ago. The Incursus battlegroup operated from Pacifica at the time - before the Legion's betrayal of us shortly before the re-affirmation of the Hacker-Unioner alliance nearly two years ago - it is a little known fact that Pacifica once served as the Legion's prime ship maintainence facillity beyond their own borders - the direct consequence of which being that the Unioners possess an in-depth understanding of Legion last-generation technology and fighter designs. We still have several export models. With a little Hacker help they could be made into convincing representations of Legion fighter craft.


Is the Professorship thinking what I'm thinking?


We thank you for the array, Malprave. It will serve both of our causes exceedingly.
