In a few days you will each be reporting to your assigned
sectors.  We are stretched thin across
the Frontier and I will need each of you to lead your own, smaller
battlegroups. Many of the best and brightest come to serve on the
Frontier.  You are the newest link in a
long chain of responsibility, duty and sacrifice which has been forged on the
anvil of Mars. I know what you may have heard. 
You think this is a backwater post. 
You think this tour will be easy. 
That is an attitude that can and will end in death for you and your
crew. The Frontier is savage.  Most of
what happens out here never makes it to the news vids to disturb the comfort
and safety of the Core Worlds.  Out here
we are the order. If you perform your duty well the colonists and miners will
be secure in the rule of law.  Shipments
of Hydrium and energy will flow to the Federation's heart and mankind prospers.
Should your diligence wane, should you fail you will forfiet not just your
life, not just the lives of your crews, but you will forfiet the safety and security
of the most vulnerable. We are far from Mars, we are far from the Core Worlds,
but these are still Federation citizens. 
Citizens that you are sworn to protect. While deployed to your
individual sectors you will each have five orders you need to carry out.

Lieutenant Alayna
