A pleasure as always,
I wish to bring up the subject Coronado and the new Jump hole that was recently discovered, records show the hyper gate was destroyed by The Order Overwatch and quite successfully I might add, good work. My experience on Jump holes are slim but with a hole that opened up in Coronado that leads to drake makes it seem the work you have done was a waste. With my limited knowledge on Jump Holes it is my wish to have a joint operation in which we can try and destabilize this hole to either one of two outcomes. One would be to completely collapse this hole and the other would be to destabilize it to the point where it wont be able to support anything larger then a Gunboat Class ship. If we can control the stream of ships we have a better chance of containing it. What are you thoughts and or ideas?

My aunt, Doctor Ellie Hunter of the Order Science Division, has been mulling over ways to destabilize the anomaly with Doctor Sullivan since your communication. We agree that the anomaly poses a problem, and destabilizing it and cutting down on the tonnage of vessel that can safely traverse it would not only go a long way to Atum's continued patrols of the system, but for the safety of Yuma and the Crayterian installations within the system. If I am told correctly, we might have at one point had a prototype that helped us during the Fall of Minor. I will inquire.
In regards to the deed itself, with the current upgrades being applied to the Oathkeeper at Fort Carthage, my battlegroup's current force projection capability is diminished to whatever Atum can spare, and Commander Aqua and the Ghost Eye. Director Hunter fears we may require a vessel of higher tonnage than a Resheph to complete this - we are uncertain as of yet. In either case, any support you can give the OSD would be invaluable.
And speaking of Drake...Ever since Wedjat Operation RED RIDING HOOD, the systemhas been fairly silent. I can only hope that this preventative measure we wish to undertake adds to the silence, and does not stir up a hornet's nest.
I look forward to what we can accomplish in this regard.
That is all.

Natsumi Hideyoshi,
I am glad to hear the Overwatch Science Division is already working on this and should any resources from Legacy be needed we are more than willing to pull some and direct it to you. As for your Osiris, I am happy to hear its getting much needed upgrades and hope for its immediate clearance back to duty as soon as possible. The Legacy Osiris Neteru is one of modern marvel with advanced weaponry Captained by me, and it just so happens to already be in Coronado. We are more than capable of aiding the Atum and holding the line until the Oathkeeper is ready to join us for the attempt at destabilizing this Jump hole. The Neteru has taken up a defensive position near the Drake hole to ensure anything that comes through gets turned back or turned to ash.
Your concern for string the hornets nest is a reasonable concern and while the system may be at a low point in nomadic activity we cant risk the possibility of activity rising again. I would rather try now then regret it later on and if word got to the Crayterians that we had this suspicion and did nothing would make us look bad.

I thank you for your support. It is our hope that the refits will be done with all due haste, but you know as well as any of us that the Order's resources are limited. Things must be halted to speed another up. As such, one project that has reached an acceptable stage to pause has been done, and crews are now working to get the Oathkeeper back to combat readiness in due time.
In regards to any help the Legacy of Orillion can provide, has your Science Teams discussed any ideas to this dilemma? Perhaps they have a solution that has a greater chance of success, and that we can put the a majority of the force of the Order Science Division behind in completing.
In regards to Crayter, I fully agree. We cannot let the Republic feel as if we are doing nothing - we are allies, and in the war against the Nomads, we cannot let anyone feel as if they are fighting this threat alone.
I will keep you updated with anything that Director Hunter's team might come up with in the meanwhile, and inform you when the Oathkeeper is on it's way back to the the Liberty and Bretonian Theatres.
That is all.
