I am afraid I bear rather disturbing news about operatives from an organization that calls itself D9. I present to you an extract from my report of the flight where I met, and subsequently fought them.

“After the first run we were going to be joined by a BAF captain, but we noticed some red git on our scanners and decided to follow. After a bloody good chase and a few TCD shots that would make the best marksman in the Army blush, fired by yours truly, the ship came to a stop. The power readings were so massive off that ship that we could barely scan the sod. Turns out to have been carrying some bloody big alien power cell. We got into a bit of a scrap with that one but we were repeatedly told off by the Captain so were forced to pull out. Eventually the poor Captain fell under fire from the D9 vessel.”

I certainly hope the good officer has made a full recovery and I have no doubt you have already received her report. I would like now to move on to the second incident, that being the hostage situation in Tau-31 in front of Planet Harris.

We were supposed to be joined by employees of Planetform Incorporated to ship medical supplies to Leeds, but before they could join us they had to offload on Planet Harris. That is where they ran our secure connection started interrupting and pleas for help could be heard amidst the static. As I was the closest to the incident, I broke off to join them and attempt to resolve the situation in any way I could.

You can imagine hearing this left me quite disturbed, but what followed was even more disturbing. They were holding the captain of the PFI Vessel “Aire” hostage and cooperating with a Gallic Junker.

Situation Overview
Alien power source from the Sutinga
Alien power source from the Liberty Avenger

Bowex has suffered through many incidents and attacks involving groups of alien operatives, making us somewhat familiar with the visual appearance of their technology and the methods they use. However, they've always originated from Rheinland in the past and used various combinations of Rheinland and Alien technology. This incident leads me to believe that the threat is spreading and is posing an imminent threat to the integrity of the Queen's army as well as the army of our ally. I leave the judgement to you, but I am of the opinion that this should be disclosed to our ally and the group henceforth banned from operating within Bretonian space. In this time of war, the last thing we need is someone attacking us from within.

I have included the Planetform Corporation in this channel and messaged them about the situation. I believe they will be willing to deliver their own testimonial.

Carina, Regina, Imperatrix.
