Good day Moreton. You are taking briefing on your next mission directly from me this time. Listen in carefuly to what I have to say to you.
There are rumors in the air concerning potential power struggle in Outcast sphere of influence. Two powerful group comes in question: Our new "friends" Contari Lance and older 101st Ghosts of Razgriz. Wedjat operatives have intercepted and decoded with ease broadband transmission from 101st concerning change of their own leadership, I will give you copy of this transmission.
New leadership of Ghosts, combined with political aspirations of Lance leave a lot of unanswered questions as we believe their interests may collide with the other. This is where you come in. You are to gather intelligence on objectives and current capabilities of both factions. This is not raid or force recon but Command will not shed a tear if you eliminate some Outcasts. Given hostile nature of Malta nation, you are authorized to use any force neccesary to accomplish your mission.
Selection of wingmen and agents will be at your disposal, choose your assistance according to dossiers you will receive shortly. Execution of mission remains up to you... elimination of targets of opportunity is allowed on your way out after completing this task.
If you have any more question, ask them now. Golanski out.
This is agent Joe reporting for duty. I finished my patrol in Theta and I'm ready to assist in the recon mission. Contact the ship Haunted.Jo if you need me.
This is a most interesting development. I must confess, the past few weeks I've been in House space and thus, I'm a little unaware of what's been going on in the deep reaches of the Edge Worlds. My Onuris is being prepped for flight as we speak, I plan to proceed though too Tau 37 via Kusari.
I plan to spend my first night on Freeport 10, after that I'll be searching for a safer hole to hide in, any Order agent in a Freeport is bound to draw attention.
Would I be right in assuming there's no deadline for this assignment? That I should simply return when it is complete? I'll send transmissions when I can, but I'll be keeping silent most of the time, stealth and subtlety will be my highest priorities.
On the subject on wing-men, Haunted.Jo will be accompanying me on the way there for the duration of this assignment. I've also taken an interest in one of our recruits, Shane Helmsworth, and I'm hoping he'll be able to join us within the next 24 hours.
If this all goes to plan we should be home safe in couple of days.
Given you enter Outcast space through Tau sector, there is certain safe port you can use to your own advantage. We are currently approved to take shelter onboard CFV Hades, Zephyr-class carrier hiding in depths of Tau 39. You will find it appropriately out of the way and yet close to your objective.
You will be guest of Colonials over there and you are to uphold secrecy of this carrier. While perhaps Outcasts or Gallia know of its presence - they are likely unable to track this ship in dense nebula it is hiding within. Our organisation has been cleared to use it, therefore no further introduction is neccesary.
You will take as much time it is neccesary to accomplish your mission. There is no deadline for this operation yet I expect it will be done within reasonable ammount of time naturally...
Agent in training Shane Helmsworth reporting in.
Commander Moreton has contacted me regarding this assignment and I'm all too happy to assist. I'll prep my Bastet-class as soon as she's flight capable, and meet you along the way, unless you'd rather I meet you at your undock point, in case of trouble along the way.
If there are any urgent advances contact me on here and I'll see if I can't crash-start my ship to get out a bit sooner.
Commander Dan Moreton reporting in from the Colonial capital ship, Hades.
Recruit Helmsworth and I have discovered little of these 'Lances'. They seem like nothing more then a bunch of up-starts looking to gain more power for themselves. I witnessed a couple of engagements, the CL were pushed aside easily enough.
Now there's full blown civil war in Outcast space it seems my mission has changed and those under my wing will be gathering intel on this war, and the details of both sides. It seems IMG and the Colonial Republic know little about the Contari Lances, so I'll be looking to gather more information.
One last thing, I have the unfortunate duty of reporting Helmsworth has been captured. We were scouting in Omicron Alpha a little too long, we were caught out, I ordered a hasty retreat but Helmsworth didn't make it. There were too many for me to have made a difference. I can confirm his ship was destroyed and his pod was tractored.
I'll have him back before they get chance to get him hooked on cardimine, if I can break out of a Rheinland prison station, I can get a man off Malta.
