My name is Jackie O'Sullivan, currently serving as the Executive Vice President of Internal Security for Galway Frontiers. We are grateful for your assistance in protecting our foothold in Dublin, represented by Lisheen Logistics Depot, now under direct threat by Separatist forces.
With respect to your time, I will get directly to the point. It is our perspective that the Crown would greatly benefit from the access to Dublin that Lisheen, and by proxy we, can provide. A safe passage for gold could once again assist in the revitalisation of the Bretonian economy. This much I think goes without saying, which brings me to my request. The Mollys have clearly demonstrated their intent to hinder our operations, as expected.
We would propose to bloody their noses in return, a show of force to cause them to back down and at least tolerate our presence for fear of unacceptable losses. Connacht Depot would be our proposed method to do precisely this. Threaten their home as they threaten ours. We appreciate that it would be a significant allocation of resources, and so we would propose to only sustain the siege for so long as it causes the Mollys to retreat from the relative north of the system and allow us to consolidate our position.
We keenly await your response.

Jackie O'Sullivan,
Know that the Armed Forces do and will continue to support any efforts by BMM to return to the Dublin system; these brutes know not of negotiating, nor should we civilized people ever attempt to bring them to a negotiating table. They dealt with my, and your colleagues also, by striking them with pickaxes, through unimaginably cruel methods. We shall respond in an equal measure.
I shall order that a token force be formed in orbit of Planet New London to both increase the frequency of our current forays within Dublin, but also prepare siege equipment to assist in damaging key components of the Molly installation in rapid attacks.
My subordinates in the field will fill you in further on how the Armed Forces shall organize this.
Harold Sommerville
