Richter here.

I am faced with a difficult mission, one which I cannot imagine you will be pleased to hear about.
Our ally, the Technocracy of Auxo, is facing pressure from their neighboring houses and other assailants and are seeking military assistance, assistance which we intend to grant.
You may think your part about all that. We will not be accosting you for your hostility towards them, just as we expect you not to accost us over our pact with them. Such are our differences of diplomacy.

The bottom line is, we will be moving the Erdbeben to their space in the Liberty borderworlds, and potentially engage in combat operations. This brings up the question of your personnel onboard the ship. Naturally, we have consulted them first, and have understandably received mixed responses.

Now, if any Order personnel were to remain on the ship on this assignment, you obviously have my guarantee that they would not be endangered by their station in, to them, hostile territory.
My flagship would sooner open bombardment on Valravn than surrender her Order staff to it.
And similarly, we would no sooner join combat between the Technocracy and the Order in Liberty than we would anywhere else. That is categorically out of the question.

The war against Bretonia, the civil war, these were conflicts that we were thrust into, in which we had no chance to transfer crews, against opponents you yourselves hold no love for.

This situation is different. We have preparation time, we have the opportunity for transfers, and in this assignment, we would be assisting your enemies, who are our friends.
I would consider the best course of action, for us, for you, and for the Auxo, to suspend your personnel from this mission and offer them transit back to the Omicrons, or extended stay on Wichter.
Of course we will cover all of their expenses for the duration.
