The Atacama Cohort.
They're a disgruntled bunch of former Legionnaires who splintered off because of the Commonwealth's political rhetoric, same things we took issue with. I'm told they made use of Gaian technology, and in the time since I was given this information, we displaced a major hub of Gaian activity on the Liberty border.
Safe to say we may or may not have just cut them off from any avenue of supplies and actual assistance. But I'm not so cruel as to starve them out when we share the same ideas. Try to reach an understanding with them, get them to see things from our perspective and maybe we can resume whatever arrangement they had with the old administration of Leyte.
Needless to say, I am very much inclined to guarantee their independence against potential elimination by the Insurgency. The new self appointed aristocrats of Vespucci are bound to be more than happy to cement their rule over all that clay by any means necessary. It's too much power, too quickly. We need to curtail that, but not directly. The Cohort's a good wedge for the job.
The reason I'm delegating this to you is plausible deniability. You're a number with no face, a potentially independent actor with your own interests. It's easy enough to perform damage control under those circumstances, even if you fail. But the real question remains.
