Admirals,
Given our most recent conversations in California and Ontario, I am requesting a deployment of ships to Ontario to further monitor the threats outlined to us from the ones who sit opposite our table. I suggest a two-pronged operation, using Epsilon Squadron as initial reconnaissance units, with Alpha ships providing muscle where necessary. I will be in overall command, unless the two of you see someone more fit to do so. I will leave that to your discretion.
Additionally, Vice Admiral Uhmen, I am requesting a joint operation with Task Force Akhetaten to Ontario to make sure the threats made to us are being covered on all fronts. Between Alpha Squadron, Epsilon Squadron, and Task Force Akhetaten, I believe we can handle anything our opposition throws at us.
In the meantime, I have relocated to Planet Los Angeles to be a bit closer to the situation at-hand.
While the Technocracy has yet to back their disastrous claims with proof, your concerns are not wrongfully placed. I have to admit I am very much inclined to believe that Revenant did not spit out lies in order to gain a temporary ally in this cause. She is a smart enough individual to know that the Republic does not forgive. The Technocracy already has enough people actively looking to murder every last one of their kind. It is not in their best interest to add us to that list.
I, too, believe that we should begin with our course of action immediately. The Security Force has shown no interest in whatever's happening in Ontario, and it's no secret to any of us that Revenant's words regarding increased Xeno and Order presence in the system are far from lies. She even revealed knowledge regarding MND presence within Liberty - something which I confirmed myself not three months ago.
That, along with many discussions I've previously had with Revenant on numerous subjects lead me to believe that we should not ignore the bell she's ringing.
I have already ordered the A-0's deployment in Ontario in order to conduct forward reconnaissance of the system and gather the vital scans and intelligence required before full deployment of Task Force Akhetaten is to be ordered.
You have mine, the A-0's and Task Force Akhetaten's full support in this endeavor, Commander.

Commander,
As expected, we've yet to receive anything to substantiate the claims made by Revenant.
Your request to deploy Alpha Squadron to Ontario is approved. Overall command of Alpha will be left to you, otherwise, operational command will be assumed by the Vice Admiral. I will deploy the Merchant Marine to run mission-critical supplies to the Overlord, Concord, currently assigned to California.
If you need further assets deployed, I will leave this channel open, should you need anything further, Commander.
In service to the Republic.
