The Terran ambassador to the Commonwealth has contacted the Foreign Office on the instructions of his government and asked for information on our apparent colonization activity, as Terran observation satellites have been watching our colony ships loading up and leaving orbit for the last couple of years. He is especially interested to know why we seem to be shipping them toward the hostile aliens in Corinth. Under orders from Prince Arthur, Foreign Minister Jackson explains that since the original incidents with the aliens, including the damage to Scylla and the apparent loss of Terran ships, there have been no sightings. He also reveals that Corinth has two jump points beside the entry point from Sol and that we have explored several systems beyond one of those jump points without incident. Therefore Commonwealth Intelligence believes that the aliens originate from beyond the other jump point, which has been picketed and left alone for now. Jackson states that the colony ships are heading for a hostile world three jumps away. Although we have yet to find a habitable world, the Commonwealth government is keen to begin colonization efforts. The Terran ambassador appears to be suspicious but has no evidence allowing him to contradict Jackson
