Ward, it's been a while.

I hope you've been keeping well. But as of right now the LFR has no tangible intent regarding the system. We ran a brief series of evacuations since members of the Insurgency with sympathy towards our cause abandoned post to join us. That obligated us to ensure their families were secured, and we honored it.

Our plan is to wait for when the dust has settled and then gauge the situation in the system. Until then our raiders are encouraged to strike targets of opportunity, regardless of whether the star is orange or blue. Even if Veracruz could be secured, it's bound to be a messy situation and I suspect quite a lot of the infrastructure is in poor condition as a result of unrest. Further enhanced by a breakdown of Insurgent command leading to martial law finally failing.

What else do you want to know?

Terrible nickname.

All we have is rumors and conjecture, we've never had much in the way of informants when it comes to the Navy. Going by my own estimations on the matter, I consider any kind of occupation of the system by Liberty an untenable pursuit.

It would be an overextension that they can't afford, and their recent withdrawal from Ontario suggests Liberty's ability to secure systems is slipping. The loss of the Delaware doesn't help the situation at all.

We're prepared to be more proactive in our approach if Liberty truly does attempt to put down roots in Vespucci. I consider that unlikely at the moment though.

For the most part I'd say we're doing alright.

If you can keep us informed of any substantial movement from the Insurgents, that'd be helpful. I'd prefer for all the ones that aren't sympathetic to end up dead.

Things look grim.

What are the Cohort's plans if Veracruz falls? Actually, at this point I think it's more a case of when it falls. Not much left in the Ohio's way except the Triton and whatever else they've managed to muster. Reaching out to them has historically gone poorly for us, but it's something you could do.

Whether they decide to come home or not, they're still our people. For that reason, the LFR would very much prefer if they kept living. As the first people to recognize what was wrong with the Legion, they deserve better than to die on a rock that has a giant target painted across it.
