Fleet Admiral,

I am requesting reinforcements in Dublin. The Coalition and the Mollies have been trying to dislodge a newly started BMM mining operation in the Independent Field. It has been noticed they were even using capital ships, so I am obviously dealing with a determined attack. However, they have not been successful so far and each attack of theirs has been subdued or routed. I do not need reinforcements to defend, but I think that this is a rare opportunity for an offensive. The Enclave is no longer pressuring us, I am convinced that we can afford it. The Coalition and the Mollies have shown signs of weakness with their repeatedly unsuccessful attacks. While pursuing retreating enemy ships into the Molly Asteroid Field, my vanguard noticed that Golden Coin Station has been degraded for some reason. All of these factors are favourable for us. If there has ever been a good time to deal with Golden Coin, it is now. I am requesting the Quick-Response Fleet under my command for the following two weeks.

Commodore Khatri,

It seems you have taken to your new position with gusto. In normal circumstances I would recommend keeping to the eastern side of Dublin and securing our own initiatives, making further attempts to improve mining efficiency in Dublin, but if the Coalition are expending considerable resources on attacks within the system, a show of force is in order.

You have authorization for retaliatory attacks on enemy positions. The enemy has limited infrastructure, but we can put the boot in what they have. I will release forces from Oversector Center if you need to pack an extra punch.

Best regards,

Fleet Admiral John Redmond
