It's been a long day, so I'll keep this brief. Dust is clearing on the ground, and this is what we know:

1. 2 of the 3 large drones dispatched for the Sterilisation event has been shot down, along with numerous patrol drones. Instead of the total eradication of Xitang, it's only been partially leveled. This is a win.

2. There were no fatalities, although we had 90 injured. I want to commend our ground teams (Ground Forces, Espionage, volunteers) for your efficiency. The Veiled are being taken to and integrated into surrounding Pres Cities courtesy of Recruitment agents stationed in the area.

3. We have commandeered an additional freight plane which will be vital in future relocation efforts.

We still do not know what triggered this, but I want to stress how big of a win this is. We prevented a devastating loss. We've been a nuisance to the Architects, but this changes things.

Take this win. Celebrate it. And then get ready to double down. We're showing them we're a major player, and I can't imagine them taking this lying down.

LEADERSHIP.

Kudos on the rapid coordination. Expect blowback.

[...] Aldana, Payne. Present your case. I need you to get everyone on board before we go to the rest of the resistance with this.

I'm beginning to think there may be a solution to be found here. Nicky wants full psych panels on all the volunteers and it seems everyone would prefer volunteers from the ground, but I suppose that's a matter of security and logistics. Everyone seems to begrudgingly accept there's practicality in the idea, though.

I'm buying you a drink this time. You'll need it.

St James mentioned the evaluation. If they can figure out the security logistics, it doesn't entirely matter to me. My preference is for control, and the people here would be the most controlled, but I can make whatever work.

I'll take you up on it.
