To: Order Command From the Colonial Republic Government

[Panzer]

The military side of the operation are all volounteers, ranking no less than comissioned officer. Intel assured me, that they ran background checks on those people and it's unlikely they'd fall for monetray incentives. Cardamine smugglers just love to try and bribe themselves outta trouble and all of the 88th's personnel are experienced in border guard duty. There still is risk of infiltration, but I'm confident, that together we'll deter the Core from trying anything funny. I personally don't mind them as long as they don't mind me. As per order military supervision, be my guest. A convoy composed of escorted civilian/utility craft is scheduled to depart for Lost in five days. Its route and precise composition I'll keep to myself for the time being if you don't mind.

On a side note... We've had trouble with Bounty Hunters before as a result of the Bretonian Crown's kindess as well as that of the Maltese Dons. The 88th's commanding officer has been briefed explicitly about the potential threats... physical and others the Guild Core might pose. If they try anything, there will be a diplomatic incident. Fortunately, the Core hasn't as yet hinted any hostile intentions.
