TOP SECRET - EYES ONLY
FROM: ADMIRAL ALEX GREY
TO: COMMANDER ANDERS BENOIT
Commander Benoit,
I understand that you have dealt with our problem. I thank you again for drawing it to my attention.
I'm aware that every man has his price, but I still find it shocking that Danner was preparing to hand Doctor Savic to the Helghast at the rendezvous point, knowing what he did about the possible consequences to ISA troops alongside whom he had fought for many months.
I understand that loyalty is not your main motivation, but it must have been hard to acknowledge betrayal by one of your own men. Still, the matter now lies buried in the ruins of the refinery. We'll allow its destruction to be Danner's epitaph.
His removal has the advantage of minimizing the number of people who know about Savic's research. I would prefer that its existence did not come to the attention of ISA High Command just yet. Your continued discretion in this matter is appreciated. It is also part of our agreement.
Per this agreement, the first installment of the additional 3,000,000 Vektan Dollars you requested has been delivered. As discussed, payment is in the form of precious minerals seized from the Helghast reserves, so the transaction is completely untraceable.
Further payments will follow when you have successfully interrogated Doctor Savic, and discovered where the virus itself is being stored.
As you previously noted, handled correctly this Savic matter could bring the war to a swift and satisfactory conclusion. Satisfactory for both of us, and very profitable for you.
—Grey
