Subject: Regarding the Rheinland War
Origin: Leeds System
Sir Fraser,
I received a comminque across my desk earlier from one Captain Torin Marshal. He'd requested to speak with anyone bearing the letter of marque. Seeing no harm in hearing the man out, I met with him briefly today.
As it turns out, Marshal commands the Vigilance, the freelancer gunboat that was involved in the Bowex incident that sparked off the war with Rheinland. I hate that we lost a transport there, but I cannot fault Marshal for doing his job.
Regardless of past incidents, Marshal is Bretonian and clearly concerned about this war with Rheinland. For my part, I share his concern. Aye we're a tough people that no one ought to mess with on the level and I'll fight until and past the end, but the pile of enemies is getting high.
With all due respect Sir, we're stretched thin and it's starting to wear down hard. I've seen it in the army on the ground, and once that grating sets in it's bloody hard to shake off. If we can get out of this Rheinland war, it is one less obstacle to overcome and one less element trying to bring us down. And it's that much more focus we can devote to the Kusari.
Beyond the troubles with having Rheinland as an enemy, Marshal had further information that might make peace in Bretonia's best interest. It seems that on Nuremberg they are developing advanced terraforming technology. The kind that could restore Leeds to a balanced planet and finish Planetform's work on Harris. The potential there is undeniable in my eyes, to restore the stripped planets, I can't think we might pass the opportunity up.
In the end Sir Fraser, I'm just a pilot, an ex-secondary fleeter and ex-ground-pounder risen from the ranks. I hold no influence in the command and it's not my place to make those types of decisions. I am forwarding to you what I've found out, and what I see from the conflict.
In abundant obviousness, the decision of what to do with this information is yours. I have left it in your care Sir Fraser, trusting in your judgement and your ability to make noise at the top should you decide to act on it. I personally implore you to do so, at least to find all the facts and consider them seriously.
I have patched Captain Marshal into this channel so he may speak with you directly if you will entertain him. I have used a separate channel and encryption from the regular military ones to prevent any possible attempts at tampering.
Finally, I will append the recording of the discussion I had with Marshal today. I'm sure if you have more questions about the terraforming technologies he will answer what he can.
In faith,
Gareth Silves
