Professor Boyle.
Your elaboration on development and the future was read by me with great interest. As for your proposals, I have the following thoughts: “We also need to redirect how we are, and I propose the creation of:
[*] An appropriate information point to gain widespread support, as explained below;
[*] Clear goals that clearly and publicly represent our values, and our actions reflect those values. Such as appropriate rules of engagement given to everyone, how to behave with various convoys, ships, etc. (Not everyone is Planetform) (ROE);
[*] Consolidation of supply lines to our various bases, ensuring a steady supply of resources needed to sustain our operations;
[*] A foreign affairs department to build and repair alliances and engage with other factions on Sirius, solidifying our group as a legitimate force, not one that is underground;”
Re.1&2) Sub-points one and two could be problematic, because although there is a Green Party in the Bretonian parliament, it is not officially affiliated with us, and attempts by it to transmit our propaganda will likely be stifled by the censorship applied by the Crowns. It would probably have to be limited to spreading our agenda on neutral stations and in space via system messages and ship-to-ship courier shipments. Nature evolves and so do we Gaians. I believe that we won't have to reach for options of last resort as in the case of the luminous Galileans hurting our beloved planet, and therefore our cells are slowly putting aside terrorist methods. Admittedly, Planetform as well as Crayer are enemies of Nature and Mother Gaia, but all the rest of the ordinary traders and civilians could try to sensitize them to how Nature's well-being affects the common good of humanity and ask for donations to support our movement's activities. Although it is possible that in cases of aggressive responses it will still be necessary to open fire.
Re.3) Gaians) movement has a base in one of the independent systems, hopefully your Shire can help supply it. From the information I have, I also know that other Gaian members have recently set up a hydroponics station in Edinburgh. I will send you the location of our base in a separate encrypted message.
Re.4) Given your political experience, I have decided that from today you, Professor, will be the official diplomat of our movement. Congratulations and good luck in your talks with groups more or less neutral to our goals.
