Escher tells me you're our new contact. Not sure what happened with Skirka, but that's your business, not mine.
I'll get to the point. We have concerns about our... gracious hosts.
Two weeks ago, Minister Kane sent a well-intentioned offer to them, to buy their installations in Tau-44. Minato is still significantly damaged, Sulawesi is still operating below capacity, and Crayter is spread far thinner than their numbers can support. It seemed mutually beneficial. A militant state like theirs would never agree, but I can't fault Kane for his attempt.
Fleet Admiral Michael Richard gave the offer some consideration. However, within two hours his tone changed significantly. Within 24 hours, Crayter Intelligence, such as it is, cut the channel. Within a week, there was a new Fleet Admiral.
No one has heard from Fleet Admiral Richard since, as far as I'm aware.
You understand our concern, I hope. Minister Kane will soon be contacting the Bretonian government, to obtain orbital installation licensing and hopefully securing a heavier vessel to bolster our defenses. The Commission would appreciate if you pass this information to those who need it, to hopefully expedite our request.
I've included a saved copy of Minister Kane's transmission for your own evaluation, as well as the announcement of the Admiral's... retirement.
