Mister Ashford.

Again, I sincerely doubt the IMG is going to try and make themselves a nuisance to you in Liberty of all places. Were they to do so, it would be an exceptionally messy situation. But I'm confused, who is the Guild bending the knee to? Is it the Gallic Crown or those cockroaches from the deeper Omegas? You've contradicted yourself.

Personally, I'm glad they told Bretonia to take a hike. But assaulting patriots is a step too far. You should know by now that the Xenos never take kindly to people encroaching on our turf. The IMG is no exception to this. In the event that your concerns become a reality, we'll make that fact abundantly clear to them.

You're also correct in assuming that there's not really much I can do to a pilot like Silence who simply falls outside of our command structure. He doesn't rely on us and likewise we give him none of the Alliance's associated benefits, I'd also rather not pressure the station heads into locking him out this early into our return to prominence. It would create friction where there needn't be any, instead I'll try talking to them personally.

""Was there anything else?""
