Overwatch Internal.

Taweret here...

I'll start by reiterating the events that happened a few days ago in Alaska, for Mr Enrico's benefit.

An order strike group led by myself consisting of the Battleship Kheops captained by Aaron Taggart,
myself, Trainees Yuri Jensen and Commen Oiseau and the Neith captained by Mr. Ravenov. Was a
fairly standard run until Yuri reported a nomad sighting in New York, which soon chased us to
Alaska. Now this is where it gets interesting.

It was a Nomad battleship of immense proportions, marginally smaller than the largest
recorded Marduk mindnode "Harbinger". The nomad designated itself as "Aurora". The first
thing we all noticed was the relative ease of communication with the nomad, almost
conversationally so. I decided to listen to what it had to say, which proved profitable.

1. "Aurora" claims that it is an ancient mindnode who's currently in a direct rebellion against
   Harbinger.
   
   
2. It stated that Harbinger was the predominant node in the Mindshare at this time, twisting it
   to fit it's needs.
   
   
3. "Aurora" was awakened after the use of the nomad planetdestroyer on Toledo, which
   it stated was a device to seed worlds with Cardamine.
   
   
4. "Aurora" currently claims it has been keeping harbinger at bay from the house of Liberty,
   and has established some sort of working relationship with Admiral David Hale.
   
   
5. Responding to a distress signal sent out, Navy personnel "Rachel Baker" and
   "Roy sanders", and a LSF agent "Norman O'Connor" showed up on the scene.
   
   
6. Rachel Baker, an Admiral knows of Aurora as well. They seem to trust the Nomad
   after a fashion.
   
   
7. At this point we were joined by Admiral Golanski and Agent "Balor".
   
   
8. "Balor" confirms that "Aurora" was infact the nomad that engaged Harbinger in
   battle as stated in his report.
   
   
9. "Aurora" has stated that it is working with the LN Admirality to attempt to counter
   Harbinger's war plans.
   
   
10. I proposed a high-level meeting to further clarify our plans and sort out existing issues,
    which was agreed to by the Nomad, LSF and LN personnel.
    

So in essence, we have a Nomad Rebellion, if we take the nomad's word to be truth. I do have
a theory on this, however...

It's entirely possible that this Nomad may be putting up a front to involve itself with Liberty's forces,
where conventional methods of subversion have not succeeded as they have in Kusari. Judging
from what I've heard, if that's the plan...it's going fairly well. There has never been a Rogue Nomad
to our knowledge, so this is a first and hard to believe.

Conventional thinking would suggest that we attempt to take Aurora out and nip this in the bud, no
risks taken. However, there is little chance that the nomad is working alone, so we'd not achieve
a lot, and in the process earn the hostility of the Navy again.

What I'm suggesting is a little different... We could appear to play along, but keep our guard up in
doing so. That way, we'll be in a fairly good position to counter any nomad moves in Liberty and
attempt to preserve it from nomad plans. I'll attend this meeting, and see what they have in mind.

I'll repeat the necessity of remaining cautious. If this "Aurora" is playing the Liberty Navy false,
we need to be in a position to counter it when it finally reveals it's true colors. But if, the nomad
is actually truthful...then we'll have to reconsider.

Taweret out.

[ErikssonJeny]

Indeed, we must be cautious.
But, if this Aurora is honest and
considering the current power of
our fleet, this might be our last
hope. I insist I accompany you to
the meeting, Taweret.

Admiral Ravenov, out.

Tawaret, I will only say this for now:

It sounds like ein trap.
It looks like ein trap.
Hell, for me it even smells like ein trap.

Guess what I expect it to be? So, to be honest, make sure you have some
backup like ein additional emergency wing stationed on Atum during this
meeting.
And Admiral Ravenov, I can only suggest you stay away from there.
The possible loss of ein Overwatch member is insane and now you want to risk your life as well?
I suggest we first find out what this is all about, then we can have ein
happy dance festival with the Liberty Navy`s new pet.

Although I already have the impression that no one will even listen to what I say.

Davids out.

[ErikssonJeny]

Mr. Davids, I appreciate
your concern, but I
believe the risk is
acceptable and even
if something did happen
I wouldn't be dead.
No, no, I'd be much more
useful to them alive.
That would be their first
and final mistake, keeping
me alive.

With all due respect, Admiral, your insistence to attend das meeting is
-to sum it up -foolish. If things go wrong the rest of us has to see how we
get Tawaret's and yours heads out of this mess. If you are still alive then.

By the way, Tawaret, looks like Admiral Hale is looking out for you. Me and
some other agents met him and his escort in Omicron Minor near das jumphole
to Zeta.
We tried to find out what he was doing there, but he insisted in dealing with you only.
Nun, Admiral, so much for your effort in attending it.

During that meeting, one of the Liberty pilots mentioned, that the Liberty
Navy has "one of the Order's toys".

It makes me wonder what it could be...

[Rodent]

Taweret here...

Me and Admiral Golanski will be going to this meeting. There needs
to be some sort of caution,as Mr Davids has stated succinctly.
Although I doubt there will be any moves made this early, I'll
keep Matrim Cauthon in command of the Svizra on standby, as
a precaution.

Mr. Davids and Ravenov, you'll be the outsiders, who can bring us out
if the situation does not pan out like we expected.

If things do not go according to plan, we'll make sure they do not
go away the victor.

And as far as comment about the Navy having "One of the Order's toys..."
I believe I have an idea what it is. They can keep possession of it, for now. Maybe it'll serve them better than it did us.

Taweret out.

[Omicron]

Admiral Golanski here.

Due to rather multiple failures my answer was delayed allthrough better later than never. Davids and Ravenov need to remain, not only due chances of it being a trap but also co-ordinating defense of Order space while me and Taweret will be busy dealing with Liberty Navy admirality. We cannot let neither Nomad or Core to catch us with our pants down and no clear command structure to counter the attack.

Neo Terran Front will also attend the meeting and their flagship currently under repairs. I expect their gratitude for given shelter and aid us against Nomad menace, considering they are already partialy informed about ongoing situation. Said ship, modified Spyglass class will be of great use to bolster security measures on our fronts as their view on the world does not differ much from our own.

Attached communique concerns Aurora itself, way before we knew about it.

Davids hier.

I am reactivating this frequency due to the recent events that have happened.
Right now I have established contact with OSI and ZHR.

OSI already has delivered most of the requested supplies to Akabat, with the rest
following soon as I was told. Admiral Golanski, you have witnessed that convoy already.

ZHR is also likely to support us, for now I suggest we try to obtain medical supplies
from them. If things go as we want, then we may even try to involve them in some
of our more internal projects. "Defibrilator" comes to mein mind. Our own efforts
by bringing in needed information from the Newcastle installation was fruitless.

Speaking off Bretonia. How shall we solve the issue with IMG? Right now our
sources are scarce, especially if we do not want to loose our eyes and ears in the Taus.

One more thing: Seems like the Warhound Brigade, which is related to the Guild Core
seems to run ein joint venture with the AI known as Haimen. The goal of
said project is unknown so far:

* * * *

[Omicron]

I have seen your efforts and I approve of them.

Thebes must be ready soon as possible however repairs must be done once and for all. We cannot afford another engine failure. Meanwhile on my own corner, Hessians dropped ball and refuse to clean up. Have your eyes open for any Hessian secondaries attacks on our forces. In such incident use lethal force to defend yourself and forget about political fallout - I do not expect any.

I also intend to meet Colonials to talk about future of our co-operation. Years long friendship between Colonials and Order should mean something in the long term.

Golanski out.

INCOMING TRANSMISSION

ID: "Constantine"
To: The Overwatch Internal
Subject: The Taus, Bretonia and the Omicrons.

This is Constantine of the Overwatch here.

I still hold the title Cell Director of the Taus. I was recalled back to the Omicrons though with the increase of the Nomad attacks around our home. I had to take half of my force from the Taus as well to reinforce our position in Omicron Mu and the protection of our stronghold in Omicron Zeta. The active fight against the Outcasts had to be ceased for a while, though the intelligence network still works as it should be in the Taus.

As for the Bretonias, I suggest we do not move most of our forces to that area as of yet, as we are in danger in our own home. But we can't ignore the plight of the Bretonians and the IMG either, it is our job to make sure they survive through a nomad attack. I suggest sending our experienced agents and bomber pilots, to organize a defence in the area against the nomads. With our knowledge and the residents' firepower, we can force off the nomads in the short term.

In the long run, to operate so far from home as a fighting force we need a forward base, and the Overwatch has already plans to set it up close to the Bretonia borders as soon as possible. The plans and details will be provided about it at a later time.

Constantine out.
