I have to assume you've been keeping a watchful eye on current events. Wouldn't be very good at your job if you haven't.
Figured you ought to hear it be said bluntly at least once. But this entire thing about Erie? You're next. All the little pieces Liberty would need to arrange this are already in place. It's just a matter of whether you and I want to be honest about why the Yellowstone's in orbit of Yuma.
Personally, I can only hope your peers are the cynical sort and are accounting for this eventuality.
I never fully trusted the ship being there to begin with, really, though even I have my doubts that another Erie is the only reason it's there. Some legitimacy is needed for subversion to work, after all. Still, I can assure you the Military has had contingency plans in place since the ship arrived, and I'm fairly certain Erie allowed for adjustments to be made given the widespread coverage of the action in orbit.
It's just a bit shaky, since I'm sure those Zoners were giddy or high as hell.
Safe to say they won't find any easy excuse like they thought they had with Erie, either, but I'm sure the LSF will be game to try it anyway. Just hope they don't get any ideas with another satellite.
Your Government doesn't appear to understand the importance of independence. I can see no concerted effort to even try and secure leverage against either of the Great Houses that pincer you. Are you so determined to remain a watered down vassal doomed to circle the drain and die? To consign your individuality for promises of safety and prosperity? You gain nothing - you have gained nothing - you will gain nothing.
In the colonies we know you for your reputation of being easily bought out, swayed into complacency, and your storied history of failure.
