To quickly make contact with Victor, Minoru would probably be best advised to send someone to the Ghost Bears or the FRR - they are closer to Luthien than the front lines, and they have intact HPGs which can relay a message to Victor much more quickly than a jumpship sent to the nearest Draconis March HPG station.
Wouldn`t it be easier to send a Fax message?
If I remember the real timeline correctly:
When Teddy was informed that Luthien was the next target he send a message by Fax to New Avalon.
But the Fax machine of the DC are very slow.
A Davion listening post picked up the message and sent it with a modern Fax machine to New Avalon.
And this message (modern Fax) arrived one week before the DC Fax message.
So, this should be the fastest way.
To the situation in the LC (and maybe all the other realms before alternate history was written by us Fan people):
Sorry, but if I look at the rulers of the IS I have the impression that they are not feudal rulers but just like normal politicians.
They do not prepare for anything, like destroyed factories.
Only Stefan Amaris did, like Kwangjong Ni (I hope I spelled it correctly.).
The most evil man (or contender) is able to build secret mech factories and not ONE IS ruler does the same.
(OK, I know, Battletech, the post-apocalyptic big stompy robots game).
But still.
The Reunification war showed clearly that factories and jumpship-/warshipyards can and will be blown skyhigh.
And nobody prepares.
Everybody thinks: OK, we have Hesperus, Tharkad, Arc Royal and these factories are enough.
Hello? Where they advised by a certain company of our time? Yes, the one the german Bundeswehr listened to. And now at least 50% of the heavy equipment (tanks, planes, ships etc) are out of order because replacement parts are cheaper when ordered just in time. As if this works especially in wartime.
No, Morgan Kell should take Adam Steiner by his throat, hammer some sense into him and make him follow the lead of his brother Victor. Building factories and shipyards. But there is one big catch: In the 3025 era you fought to achieve a tactical goal but not to kill the enemy, because mechs were expensive. So the number of factories was sufficient.
Now 3070 you fight to eradicate. And that means you need production capacity. And that means a lot of factories.
And build some hidden factories too. To avoid Holy Shroud X and destruction of factories by enemies. So hide them well and dont store the data on which planets they are in the main Computer of the Triad, because then you can send their location directly to Luthien, Atreus etc.
