A vessel of the Order's Section 8, called Errant, engaged with us and we had a brief but friendly conversation, so I might as well take that as a reminder.
It's once again time for a crew swap on the Erdbeben. Unlike the last time, your crews have not unexpectedly become veterans of several wars on their tour of duty. Missions have largely been limited to routine interceptions of Corsair, Outcast and Rheinland forces threatening the Guild's and our own interests in the Sigmas.
Nonetheless, their time has been served, and we will be returning once again to Akabat in the coming days to reunite them with your own. The connections have been, to our knowledge, relatively quiet, with the Core showing less of a presence, although I've heard disturbing reports about increases in alien activity in the further Omicrons. The Erdbeben also needs a few technical check-ups, and it would be more desirable to do them on-site rather than returning all the way to Singapore and having to deal with everyone on the way.
That considered, we may well end up lingering in the area to provide assistance per your discretion.
Any scouting intel or assistance you can provide along the way will be appreciated.
