Cal,

My sole objective now is to prevent a massacre of our forces.  I have decided to negotiate a settlement with the Navy. I am afraid that this means meeting with the Navy face to face. I plan on flying to meet them with only a small escort wing.

I don't think the corporate forces will be too happy about such a meeting and I am sure they will try to prevent it. So, this will require a little sleight of hand. We shall need a smokescreen to allow my ship though the corporate-held space in one piece.

To accomplish this we want you to take a squadron of ships and make an attack on the Ozaki Maas Cluster Central HQ in Ishime. This attack should draw the corporate forces away from the area, allowing my wing to slip through.

This is not going to be easy but we have obtained a number of Maas IFFs. These beacons will allow you to approach the area without being challenged.  

I will rendezvous with your ship immediately.

Good luck,

Franklyn Hoffer
