Hey Boss,
With the Quartermaster resurfacing whole cat and shebang, I think we need to pivot HARD away from working off modifications of most of his… their?..designs.

Call it a bad feeling, maybe Cold Wind’s warning if I were to get superstitious for a moment, know my spirituality and yours don’t mesh well, but think on it.

Even with Glitter and Rose working on the design mods, its getting a bit scary. The Quartermaster is… someone that scares me more than you, frankly. And I trust you a helluva lot more.

I’ll stake my neck and infomorph on this one, we need to put full production stop to all Quartermaster derived fighter designs and computer systems, and begin IMMEDIATE phase out and replacement. We can take lessons learned but we need to drop use now, and maybe even offer the Quartermaster our design notes as a nicemaking gift, and just fuckin’ drop it.

I don’t think we can survive a second round against DERAIL, SARO, AND the Quartermaster’s crew on different fronts, and we can’t get on DERAIL and SARO’s good side.

And with all this Upwell ■■■■ going on, I’m not sure how much time we’ve got on that front.

Regards,
Jaghatai ‘Agonarch’ Kelmoren

Agonarch,
Your concerns are noted, and after brief consideration alongside the Warminds and some Civic Minds, we are in accord.

All current production on Quartermaster Designs are being shelved immediately and indefinitely pending replacement…

I trust you Kelmoren, and will trust your judgement, but understand that this places a significant gap in our defensive options for the immediate future.

Regards
The Director
