Andrew, I realize that we generally don’t go as high up the ladder as yourself in order to get what we need, but I need these supplies fast. Scans of the ring show a heavy Flood presence that will no doubt prove to be a large problem, and I need the weapons and resources to deal with them. I know you understand more than most as to just how deadly the Flood can be. We need to pull the odds in our favor at every turn. One wrong roll of the dice and we’re done.

Requisition: 1,250 tungsten-layered titanium-A armor plates (radiation absorption rating: 10), replacement and upgrades for degraded stealth ablative coatings on Midnight Sojourn, etc. Requisition: As many teams of Spartan Commandos as can be afforded. If we want a minimal loss of life, we need as many supersoldiers that can go toe-to-toe with the Flood as possible. Requisition: 50,000 blocks assorted incendiary ammunition. Transfer: Captain Sirlong of the Logos seems to be suffering from a sudden onset of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Will ship him planetside and give the Logos to one of his officers.

Sir,

Goddamn, you really need to work on your encrypting of messages. As it is, its hard enough for me to get messages to members of the Fleet without some ONI censor wiping any reference to any project I head these days, classified or unclassified. I swear, they should rename themselves the “Office of Naval Censoring” or something. Hell, they harass me for passing info around in my department! The next time ONI reminds me about my security obligations, I'll be sure to rip the poor bastard a new one. You, of all people, should be ensuring your mail can’t be read.

Anyway, I would be glad to assist in this operation - someone has to do the technological dirty work that Ownie won’t want - or have the expertise to deal with. I’ll be able to come out personally to help support your operation. I’ll be bringing along ONR’s pet Frigate, the China Lake; a vastly modified Talos-class Frigate. Also, your other request, while not impossible, its just...well, a tad odd, and only able to be fulfilled to a certain degree.

As you know from our previous conversations, Ownar just finished up refining the C713 Cutlass and C720 Tanto exo-atmosphereic fighters, and are being sent out to Navy squadrons on Earth as of now. I was chatting to a nice Vice Admiral, Gary Polonsky, from the Fleet Logistics Support Group (FLSG), just the other day, about this very matter. He stated that, in order to rotate new squadrons, trained in flying Cutlass and Tanto fighters among the deployed fleets, it would take almost five Logistics Squadrons per fleet! Admiral Polonsky, being a friend and all, did grant you two squadrons of the Logistics Support Group to ferry the new fighter squadrons over to the...mission area; each Logistics Support Squadron holding about 250 vessels and crew. You’ll just have to cram them onto an Ares, if you run outta room on the Ranger-class Escort Carriers.

Also to note, the two FLSG Squadrons will be hanging about for the length of your...”exhibition”, so don’t forget about them.

I suppose thats about it. Thanks for saving my ass, back in Sydney, back during ‘52. I still owe you for that, you know.

ENCRYPTED SECTION: CODE 984:

Lash, just an FYI - “P” is being hunted by those Ownie bastards. No idea why, details are pending. If you are asked anything about them, don’t say anything. I’m trying to contact them myself; throw ONR support behind them. I can do that, ever since I forced fucking ONI out of ONR affairs. I trust you; don’t throw me under the bus.

Son,

Do you have any idea how much work it took to gather the amount of supplies First Fleet required, let alone organise its Transportation? Freeman knows, and I’m sure he told you. Anyway, a small fleet of Oberth Class Transports is also being dispatched to contain and transport the extra supplies. These should be considered as disposable, all other Requisitions have been dispatched.

If it turns out to be a fiasco, its your head in the chopping block.
