Esteemed Board of Directors,

Firstly, I wish to thank you all for the trust you are to me, my enterprise, and my colleagues. I will see that it remains well deserved.

Secondly, these clarifications are all welcome, although not entirely unexpected - during one of supply runs I'd personally overseen, we chanced upon a Xenos wing of fighters patrolling their domain, their flight leader greeting us and telling an overeager pilot to stand down from a confrontation.
Imagine my surprise when I'd learned my most veteran explorer happened to know him personally! I'd heard rumors of Bristol's relative closeness to their movement, of course, but rumors of all sorts always abound and it is unwise to put undue stock in them.
At any rate, we have been appraised of the broad strokes of our working relationship.

Taking this into account, I believe the abandonment of the station to be only a desperate measure; a stop-loss solution, yes, but attached to a major loss regardless in terms of credits and credit alike.
Far better to see it sold, as you say, to the Xenos... or better yet, to a front, as to not attract the ires of the LSF.

It does remain to be seen whether this arrangement may interest them, but I am confident the station could be repurposed according to their needs in case. A small-scale shipyard, perhaps? Best to inquire directly, though; we have a line of communication with them, courtesy of that encounter I mentioned earlier.
It is likely to come at a further expense to us, but it might repay for itself in time, especially if a shipping contract of sorts is stipulated.

These are my thoughts on the matter, at present. What say you?

Kind regards,
