Greetings, Admiral Knight,

Yes, the estimated best way out of our current location have been calculated; however, we are not going straight to Bering gates, as this is the most obvious option for us, and there are plenty of places where the ship can get caught.
Given the circumstances - i would suggest using intersystem New York anomaly that leads into the Badlands. From there we should be able to make it safely to Texas. Still, i as well suggest not taking a direct route to Bering and using Hudson one instead - as, approximately, that would be what they expect the least.

Latest maintenance have shown that the engine is stable enough to travel at full cruise speed for six minutes thirty eight seconds after the maximum speed is reached, then we shall be bound to 'impulse-only' mode for approximately four minutes seven seconds for the engines to cool down.

Taking Chefornak out to Texas and using a jump drive from here seems like the most sufficient option in our case, that promises the lease of casualties and the highest probability of success.

We have plenty of time bidded until Naval forces in the area find out what is actually going on - we are keeping our intentions disguised as much as posibble, and now are simply following our daily maintenance routine, all works are performed by onboard engineers and no outstanding influence is allowed by my order - aside from the maintenance reports.
I expect us to have at least eight minutes window before first interceptors will be dispatched. Should be enough.

Most of the snubcraft listed to Chefornak have been lost in the recent battle. Currently, we possess only 22% percent of the total amount of snubcraft usually hanging aboard, 6% is also under the maintenance, which means we will only be able to dispatch one fighter wing at best. My 'Guardian' is hopefully intact, too, so we will be able to at least bind the hostile ships to place with combat and buy some time for Chefornak to make it to the target.

Chefornak is currently assigned to the drydock #2 of Norfolk shipyard, that means a constant prescense of at least one heavy unit, two smaller capital ships as it's cover, and up to three snubcraft wings as an auxillary force, considering this i recommend to keep our intentions disguised as much as possible - at least until we reach the intersystem anomaly.
Successfully moving to Badlands unsuspected will almost mean an operation success for us.
