White Wolf,

Ontario is shifting. Shadows move beneath the surface, and familiar players are no longer acting within their expected patterns. A storm is gathering, and I have reason to believe that an old ghost, long thought unaccounted for, is making a final gambit under the cover of chaos. If left unchecked, its course could lead to consequences beyond what we are prepared for.

I need to relay further details in person. Suggested location: Cordova Shipping Platform, Magellan. Civilian transit only—no Order signatures, no official markings. Timeframe: Within the next 12 hours, at your discretion.

This cannot wait. Awaiting confirmation.

Black Tulip,

Understood. I don’t like chasing ghosts, but if this is as serious as you suggest, I won’t ignore it. However, discretion isn’t exactly my strong suit. I’ll need a second pair of eyes on this—someone who knows how to move in the dark.

I’m bringing Ethan into this. He’s better at playing the shadows than I am. He’ll make sure we don’t tip our hand. Expect him to handle the finer details.

We’ll move under civilian cover as requested. Cordova Shipping Platform, Magellan. 12 hours. You better have something worth this risk.

White Wolf,

as I told you, I have valuable information and cargo for you. It gives you the proof, you need. Send Ethan for me to Ryukyu Base, cause we need escort to secure our way to Magellan, Cordoba Station. We start on Saturday at 16:00 UTC at Ryukyu Base. The cargo needs to be delivered without any scratches.

I'm going now undercover. Fullfill our agreement, we can't afford any changes on the plan.

White Wolf,

Ethan did not show up right in time Ryukyu and we made the way to Magellan on our own. Luckily, I was prepared, some of a few people are never relaiable enough for skilled operations.

Also you came too late to Cordoba, there is no excuse for that in such a high related matter. We could have been seen!

But now you've had enough complaints.

As promised, you have received your evidence. It is now up to you what you do with it.

Good luck with all!

It's not always nice to have certainty.

I'm going now undercover.

Black Tulip,
I understand your frustration, but let’s set things straight. Ethan was at Ryukyu, waiting for me. He stayed longer than planned because he expected me first. When that didn’t happen, he made his own call. I won’t excuse the misalignment, but I will say this—Ethan had his reasons, and those reasons kept you from running into a problem you didn’t see.

You took your own way to Magellan, but that doesn’t mean you were alone. You know Ethan—he doesn’t just let things happen without making sure all exits are covered. He noticed. And he made sure you had a ride in the dark, even if you never saw it. No complications, no trails left behind. That was the priority, and it remains the priority.

Now, I need you to put that awareness to work. Tau-23 and the neighboring sectors—something’s stirring. During our route, we picked up multiple Nomad and Wild signals—too many to ignore. I don’t like it.

Your task is simple: observe, document, and report. Watch for unusual ship movements, strange signals, or anything out of place. No unnecessary risks—stay in the shadows and keep your presence minimal. If something doesn’t sit right, let me know immediately.

Once you have something, we’ll arrange a drop. Until then, keep your head down.
