Transcript
FEMALE VOICE: View communique?
ADMIRAL TOLWYN: Greetings, Colonel. Well, I imagine it feels good to be protecting Confed's interests from the inside of a cockpit again. No doubt you've renewed some other old friendships as well. Camaraderie in the field: something I'd trade my rank for. It's often a nest of vipers I must contend with here -- especially now, without the Kilrathi to unite our disparate interests. Oh, which brings me to the subject at hand: What's your appraisal of the situation on the frontier? Are we headed for an outright war? I look forward to your report. Thank you.
FEMALE VOICE: Record response?
ADMIRAL TOLWYN: Yes! Admiral Tolwyn. The situation here remains quite... fluid. We find ourselves battling pirates, Border Worlds ships, even unmarked craft; it's difficult to discern any pattern. I'm afraid that's all I have for now. But I would like to ask about a Capt. Hugh Paulsen from Third Fleet. He's come aboard with... 'orders' from Regional Command.
FEMALE VOICE: Transmission recorded and sent.
