Ethan,

I’ve got a situation developing in Ontario. Someone I trust sent a message—vague, but it screams trouble. They’re asking for a face-to-face, no Order ships, just civilian craft. The way they framed it, something big is moving in the dark, and I don’t like being blind.

Problem is, discretion was never my strongest suit, and I can’t risk tipping our hand. That’s where you come in. I need your help setting this up, making sure we don’t walk into something we can’t walk out of.

Cordova Shipping Platform in Magellan seems like a neutral enough ground. But if you have a better idea, I’m listening.

Get back to me soon. This one feels different.

Konnichiwa, Sam.

If they’re pushing for a civilian approach, they either know we’re watching, or worse, they’re expecting us to walk into a trap. This isn’t just about a meeting—it’s a move on the board, and we need to control the play.

Here’s how we do it:

Security:
You’ll bring Revenge as backup—keep him at a distance, watching our approach vector. If something feels off, he pulls us out.

Planned Route:
Initial Rendezvous: Ryukyu Base, Tohoku. No eyes, no unwanted ears.
Transit: Hokkaido → Kyushu → Tau-29 → Tau-31 → Leeds → Magellan.
Last-Minute Adjustment: I’ll reroute us before the final leg—depending on what we pick up along the way.

Operational Cover:
You and I travel separately—different times, different routes. Independent haulers on routine business, nothing out of the ordinary.
Revenge shadows us but stays distant. If something smells wrong, he’s our exit strategy.
Once we’re close, we blend into civilian traffic and move under the radar.
Something about this feels off. If they want us at the table, we better be the ones dealing the cards. I’ll see you at Ryukyu.
