Notice from the National Redoubt Command
Today I can confirm that a small party of six riders from the Steðeheard Militia have left the National Redoubt with a communication from the King. They will be travelling through the badlands bound for Fort Grinstead to seek out the Semi-Automatous Nova English government that operates within Mercury. Unfortunately it has been a number of years since contact has been made with our kin there and attempts to make radio contact have been hampered by failing radio equipment.
As such the decision has been made that six armed riders will courier the message directly. Due to the inherent poor conditions of the old infrastructure, horseback was chosen over the remaining vehicle fleet. Therefore based on known obstructions and predicted weather conditions we expect the team reach their destination within twelve days. Following which it will then take a further twelve days for the team to return. Their anticipated arrival date at the border is estimated to be the 2nd February 2017. Upon delivery of their message we hope to make contact with the outside world once again and gain intelligence on the world outside the National Redoubt.
We wish them the best of luck in their mission!
Colonel James Hild
Commander of the Newcastle-Upon-Eastmoor National Redoubt Garrison & the Steðeheard Militia.
