Captain Shepard,

It would seem that Norfolk Command picked a rather good timing to release the Vermont from it's hangar bays as we're in need of all forces available for the final push in Vespucci. In case you have not been made aware due to your time off from space, Liberty's fleet - spearheaded by Battleship Delaware - has been advancing into Insurgency territory in an attempt to extinguish their threat once and for all. The Delaware and it's battlegroup are currently positioned in Vespucci after a long and hard push through Kansas. The Akhetaten herself is part of the Delaware's battlegroup along with various other assets.

The Vermont's help will be greatly appreciated and much needed, but Vespucci is not the only place you might be needed at. The Insurgency along with other criminal elements such as the Lane Hackers or the Technocracy of Auxo have been in full activity the past few weeks and they've threatened Manhattan with numerous attacks, the former going as far as to attempt to siege Long Island Station - unsuccessfully of course.

Your firepower will be of great help whether it's used for defensive or offensive reasons, I shall leave the call to you.

Welcome back, Captain.
