Cal,
Excellent work! We now have more than enough pilots and crew with which to begin our operations in the Mwari system. Thankfully it seems that the Marauders have not got wind of our plans. If the mobilisation goes unnoticed, we're likely to catch them with their pants down.
The most critical part of this operation is getting the pilots into the Mwari system, as the Marauder blockade is still very much in operation. That is why we want you to lead the pathfinder operation to clear a route into the Mwari system. Once the route is clear, we will send in freighters carrying the pilots. You can assist in escorting the freighters to the MCA ships. This first part of the operation should be fairly straightforward; the pilots are being conveyed in unmarked freighters, so the Marauders should think this is just a regular attempt at blockade running. Resistance should be stiff, but nothing we have not encountered before.
Next comes the tricky bit: once we get the crew onto the MCA ships, the Marauders will no doubt put two and two together and work out what is going on. We must then defend these MCA ships as they power up AT ALL COSTS. We cannot afford to lose ships at this early stage. The planning department tell me that the time taken to get all the MCA craft crewed and the reactors online will be least ten minutes - during which time the Marauders will throw everything at us.
After that we may well get the opportunity to kick some Marauder butt. A pleasure that's well overdue....
Don't act yet, we need to muster the forces at the staging point at the Ritz, which may take a while, especially as we are trying to do it quietly. Wait for a confirmation mail from Indigo, the senior MCA agent at the Ritz, before you act.
Good luck,
