As of this moment I am on my way into the Omicrons using a Sabre Borderworlds Very Heavy Fighter and "some useful equipment" I got off Leiden.

I am of course fully briefed and familiar with any data and information relevant for this assignment. My next message will be sent from my base of operations.

P.S: Since when do I need luck ? I hope you still trust me.

Dear Mr Krest,

It appears that Mr Diavolo has failed me again. While he was a very useful tool in the past, now he has become nothing more than an obstacle. It is probably high time to put this hound down.

While saying this Nicole was holding in her hand a small pen-like device with a characteristic red button. A remote controller of a brain bomb planted in Nikolai's skull was silently reporting active status. She held it for a moment and then gently put it back on a table.

However, I digress. It has been several days since I assigned you to this mission. I want you to report any progress you have made so far. Additionally, if you need more resources, I can send you another operative to act as your backup.

Kind regards,
Nicole Hunter

Mr. Krest's on the move. Please, leave him voice message after music ends, so he can get it when he gets back. Thank you.

After reviewing live transmission from Milton Krest young professor sat in her chair. Her fears have been soon confirmed by a transmission received from a Zoner by the name Anna E. Windsor. Mr Krest has died in the Omicrons while performing mission she designed. Nicole realised she overestimated Krest's capabilities and underestimated the Consensus. This error in judgement will have to corrected. Resources cannot be wasted in a such way. She thought for a moment and then suddenly opened her personal terminal.

- You want to play hard? Very well. Open comm channel to Richard Cole, TAZ.

She had said it to her voice activated terminal while she was completing a new assignment briefing for her assassins...

Professor Hunter,

I have uploaded complete report on Assignment 2. During my stay on Meskhenet Station I have retrieved personal belongings of Mr Milton Krest. It appears he managed to use his contacts within Order and the Zoner society to prepare preliminary activity report on the Consensus. Also, during my way back to Leiden I have encountered three, apparently Wilde, vessels of Kusari origin in Sigma-17. They fought GMG there and later Blood Dragons in Sigma-19. I have not put it inside my report as it was not directly relevant to the assignment. I attach scans below.

Bates out.

After reviewing assassin's report young professor smiled. Airdrie Research and Development division will have a lot material for studies. While writing a summary report she opened communication channel with Leiden.

- Good job Mr Bates. To additionally reward you for your services you're granted access to Airdrie Cardamine chamber for next two days. Enjoy your holiday.
