Cal,

The last assault we made on the Firefrost Marauder gateway to Dante was a big mistake, we seriously underestimated the resources that they still had at their disposal, and if it hadn't been for your actions, we would have lost a good potion of our forces. We owe you a debt of gratitude.

The problem we have now is that we have to reach the Marauder base, and another attack on the Firefrost-Dante L-point would be utterly suicidal. It is also exactly what they expect of us. We need to try and find an alternative. Our strategic team are digging out as much information on the Dante system as possible. But since the system has been off the files for eighty years, there is not a lot to go on.

Once this data has been collated we will try and come up with an alternative plan: I'll keep you posted.

Keep the faith,

Franklyn Hoffer.
