Comm ID: Admiral John Talon
To: Lt. Commander Jack Malrone
If any promotions were handed to lieutenant commander Zachary Ryans before this day they are void as they were made without the knowledge of me and Vice Admiral Hale. Our records said that officer Ryans is a lieutenant and now he is a lieutenant commander. Kill on sight is something we don't do around here, bring him in for questioning or get one of the high command to talk to the said person.
To: Lt. Commander Galen Anderson
Permission to use the Lansing is granted, I hope she serves you and us well.
