Very well, Madame Consul.

Immediately send a follow up communication to all units to avoid engagement.

I will talk to Yendam from here, set up a holo transmission pad, no one is to speak to the source of this information.

We will have all units fall back and regroup using M.Y.M.'s data and regroup...

And someone get a hold of the interim head of the Magic Security Branch and tell him I need to meet with him immediately, but be polite, I am going to need a favor.
