Hellscream clearly plans a massive strike on Feathermoon Stronghold; any Horde ships not involved in the Kalimdor blockade are moving that way now. As previously acknowledged, at our current numbers and without naval support from the kaldorei themselves, we cannot engage the Horde directly. Our present intention is to use Hellscream’s focus on Feathermoon to our advantage, and strike decisively elsewhere while he’s turned away.
Taylor and Cantlebree, you will be remaining in Stormwind to maintain our own coastal defense. Fallon and Stonehull, muster your sailors and have your ships in Stormwind Harbor by Tuesday morning for provisioning and boarding additional troops. Rogers, prepare airships. I need a list of ready vessels as soon as possible, by which I mean immediately.

What does “additional troops” mean? Are we taking on footsoldiers?
FROM: Grand Adm. Jes-Tereth
TO: Adms. Cantlebree, Fallon, Rogers, Stonehull, Taylor
We are taking on as many battle-ready fighters as we can get. Including, yes, Stormwind footsoldiers. Prepare to house the additional numbers; the kingdom will be provisioning you accordingly.

Has Cobalt Company been engaged?

What is it with you and Cobalt Company?
FROM: Admiral Fallon
TO: Adm. Stonehull
I appreciate competence. Look into it sometime.

TO: Adm. Fallon
CC: Adms. Cantlebree, Rogers, Stonehull, Taylor
The Crown has not as yet engaged Cobalt Company. His Majesty has given consent for us to do so. I take it you want them aboard, Fallon? Contact Captain Sparkwire at your soonest opportunity.

TO: Adm. Stonehull

Because Cobalt Company appreciates competence.
FROM: Grand Adm. Jes-Tereth

Fallon, Stonehull, keep it up and I’ll assign Cobalt Company to Rogers.

I’ll gladly take them.

Fallon gets them, barring any further childish horseshit on his part. He’s worked with them before.

If we mean to sail on the Darkshore blockade before the Horde reaches Feathermoon, we are already days behind.
