Good morning, Field Maestre de Alba:
I'm glad to hear good news in these times, and I thank you for quickly communicating it to the Curia.
That our Pontifical Guard grows means that we will be able to better protect our people, and if necessary, also our neighbors. It's essential to keep the morale of the troops high, because we may very soon have to face difficult situations.
On the other hand, the arrival of this second gunship is very welcome. It is important that the Guard accumulates means and equipment, as well as personnel, to be able to have options for action in the face of the dangers that surround us. In particular, this new ship will help reinforce the orbital protection of Planet Pygar, and the surroundings of the Corfu station if a Corsair attack occurs, and we'll also be able to better support Phoenix's forces if they need us.
However, for the moment we find ourselves in a moment of tense calm in the face of the Corsair threat, and although this tension is unpleasant, let us hope that it doesn't end up exploding, Deux willing. That is why I totally agree with you that, for now, our gunships should be deployed around Freeport 11 to patrol Delta, and help the Order. We mustn't forget that Our Lord Deux has already warned us of what our great and true enemy is, the Nomad threat, those aberrations that only desire the death and destruction of Mankind.
And as you inform us, this work of supporting the Order in the destruction of the enemies of Mankind is already being carried out! I want to congratulate you, my son, on the victory that our Guard has collaborated to achieve. That is the path that Deux points out to us, and we must continue on it tirelessly.
Of course, the gunboat commanders must be rewarded for their bravery and faith. I appreciate that you request permission from the Curia to promote them, but as usual the Curia tries not to interfere in military organization decisions, which correspond to the Ministry of Defense that you head. Feel free to reward this commanders as you think is appropriate, and arrange the promotion ceremony, Field Maestre. It will be a pleasure to be present to bless them.
Regarding the equipment for the new militia, Monsignor Richelieu informed me a few hours ago that our order has already been accepted by the suppliers. This means that in a short time it will be transported here by the company that has been hired for this purpose. I know that it is taking longer than expected, but bringing a shipment of those characteristics and size safely and without raising unwanted suspicions requires very strict precautionary measures that obviously cause a delay. Remain patient, and Deux will provide, He always does.
