The following letter was couriered to all GAC Members and their designated alternates and CC'd to Dib Jaster Aurene and to the leaders of the Stars End Port Authority on Tuesday morning. It included a copy of security reports sent by Councilor Alain DeMuer concerning abyssal portals, along with additional information about the situation as it developed over the past twenty four hours in Teobern and RhyDin. Signatures were required for delivery.

****SECURE AND CONFIDENTIAL**** ****OFFICIAL MISSIVE****

Good morning, members of the Advisory Council,

Council members who have availability to do so are being asked to assist at Town Hall with the relief coordination efforts. Those members who have security responsiblities should continue to focus on them.

Yesterday afternoon, I instructed the Port Autority and the RASG to increase surveillance of the SPI site. The RASG has been given additional orders to prepare to scramble in the event the situation with the portals which opened in WestEnd yesterday worsen.

To be blunt, right now we are buying time to try and recover whatever bodies, and survivors if any, that we can at the SPI HQ site. However, if the portals cannot be contained, we will close them via definitive means.

Keep yourselves and your constituents not directly involved with the emergency efforts away from the site. Report to Town Hall.
