Mister Marahue,

I'd just like to inform you that there have been some interesting developments on my end here lately. First and foremost happens to be my... untimely demotion for a clear lack of communication between the Armed Forces High-Command, and it's Mid-Command. On top of that, I happen to be ungratefully stuck here in Bretonia until... chaps up top get their arses... that's a rant for another time, eh?

Secondly, it seems that Liberty has started to actually deploy vessels out this way, seeing as I spoke with Rachel in Leeds, rather than around Manhattan. So... we're starting to get an extra buffer here in Leeds.

Thirdly, I managed to get a personal audience with the Emperor-in-Exile, Daichi Kogen. I've informed him about our plans and a few details that I could do, and it seems he's hesitant about them, but also supports the plans we're currently laying in place, and I use the term support loosely. On top of that, if you have anything that needs to be relayed to the Emperor, and can't do it yourself. Contact me. I'm apparently his official unofficial personal liaison to Samura.

Anyways... that's, pretty much it.
