Herr direktor Koch,
Some time ago we encounter each other in front of New Berlin while I was undercover. Due to the nature of my mission and the timing of the encounter it was a little difficult to explain to you why and what exactly was going on. That is why I am sending you this communique in the hope to resolve these faults in the information exchange of agent dossiers. I'll be trying to get you up to speed on my current situation
Some time ago (+2 years) I was send on a mission to pursue leads beyond the borders of Rheinland.* To be able to work without running into trouble a cover story was set in place. Me, an ex Republican pilot, set out on her own as a Freelancer. Remaining lawful she would try to gain trust from the peace keepings forces of mainly Liberty. There are enough rumours of deserters out there and my main goal was to track these down. In these two years I have been working on this I returned some pilots to Rheinland, not all of them were alive however but at least their names could be taken of the list.
With the upcoming treaty with Liberty the mission has been downscaled and no longer requires my full attention as possible leads to Rheinland pilots that deserted us may be resolved via more open channels with Liberty. I however have my doubts about the willingness that Liberty might show in this matter. Never the less I still have my connections and leads to pursue and gaining trust from Navy, LSF or even the police is never a bad thing, this is why I'll be retaining my Freelancer status who will remain unrelated to the buro. Currently I'm being more and more trusted by a person named Norman O'Connor who seems to have leads towards the LSF, so far I haven't managed to gain much intel but we are working on that. My problem remains that I cannot afford any slip up with the current state of diplomacy between Rheinland and Liberty.
Personally I am happy that I'm able to drop my cover every now and then and return flying in a wraith performing more common duties within Rheinland. Being active here often feels as if I am doing more valuable work simply because the results will be there instantly. Take for example yesterday when New Berlin was plagued with all sorts of 'bad' people... or things.* This encounter however added some nuances to my future as a nomad entity known as Ish'tar mentioned my actual name with people hanging around all over the place. I don't think many would have connected it to 'Schwungvoll' but I will have to be cautious about the future.
A pilot with the name Noah Xonnel may have caught on with the nomad about my true identity as said pilot knows me and worked with me while I was being a Freelancer. He tried to contact me on my wraith after the incident but some scrambling of my voice seemed to have put him off as he would not have recognized it. This pilot later came to me aid when I was in heavy combat with two Corsair patrols who had a combined force of 9 small craft.
A brief summery, currently I am active as a Freelancer known with my original name 'Inge Wexler' who was fired by Republican due to budget cuts. Due to this she set out as a Freelance escort pilot, mainly outside Rheinland. With the current diplomatic status between Rheinland and Liberty I gained more time to assist Rheinland at home as an MND pilot going by the IFF of 'Schwungvoll'.
I hope that with this communique things have been cleared up and you have an updated view on the situation. If you require more information or have questions, feel free to ask them.

Koch here,
Thank you for your transmission. Sadly i couldn't reply earlier. The situation at the office is a bit chaotic right now.
I have only one question, Agent...
At the attachment of this transmission, you will find image files, made by one of our Kommissare within the Omicrons. Perhaps you can explain me why i see an agent of the Order, the vessel of a Bretonian, your Libertonian companion Norman O'Connor, the vessel of Noah Xonnel, all together with a jumper full of nomad materials in the middle of Omicron Delta? You can presumably imagine my curiosity in such a case.
That's all.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Direktor Volker Koch

Herr direktor Koch,
You can't believe how nice it actually was to see an agent flying openly through the omicrons, made me feel a bit more at home. However with me being undercover it was impossible to communicate directly which was a pity. I had a little giggle when seeing some pirate trying to rob him and he offered me a pay to get rid of said pirate just so that he could sit back. Sadly I had to reject the offer since I was otherwise occupied.
To explain the situation, these events took place after a major skirmish in Omicron Kappa involving just about any faction you can find there, Order, Core, Nomads and mainly the AI's. Norman O'Connor signed me up for this one, promised it would be an escort mission which it mainly was. An automated transport had to be moved through Kappa. Me, Norman and this Noah Xonnel were the paid escorts. The client was Markus Tezaurus, some rich business man who offered us more harmless escort services in the past.
This mission turned out to be a little more harmful, the transport was filled with explosives and marked a AI database on the surface of Gammu. It flew head on into the planet and caused a massive explosion, this in the hope to neutralize XT marked AI vessels. All of this was Markus' plan, something I only heard about just before we arrived in Kappa itself. He however did mention that these specific AI vessels tried to disrupt his business and were after him for quite a while. This final act was supposed to be the end of it.
The carrier you see is property of this Markus Tezaurus. Since the event drew so much attention the Order stayed around out of interest, so did the Core who are cloaked at this time. The jump was 'random' we ended up back in Kappa some 300k or more from the center. This of course could also have been the AI playing havoc with his systems. Never the less, the Core uncloaked and confiscated his nomad cargo. We escorted the Carrier back to Freeport 11 where it would restock on fuel and make another jump.
Long story short, it was an escort mission. It was impossible for me to act on anything I saw due to being undercover. Knowing the Omicrons all sorts of parties take interest in nomad items, in this case the Core managed to take it all. I'll see if I can dig up come gunscams of my own once I have access to my ship again, it's currently being repaired after I ran into some trouble.
I believe, your ties to those mentioned individuals within Liberty can be still beneficial for us. Perhaps you are interested in other jobs, others than to hunt after deserters. We need somebody who throws an eye on certain persons, whose names have crossed my desk multiple times. I need to know if they are trustworthy or not. It's a pure observation mission.
Meet me at Planet Holstein today and i will give you further details, if you are interested.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

With the current changes in the relationship with Liberty I am not surprised to see that my current mission is being of lesser importance. You have my curiosity and I'll be there tonight. I'll be in my wraith to keep things easy.

Guten Tag Direktor,
Something interesting has crossed my path while I was out in the field. If possible I would like to meet or at least be able to talk to you again in the upcoming days since this event made me obtain an object I'd rather not hold in my possession for too long. I'm not comfortable with sending you more information than this over the current channel, so I hope you do not mind my request to meet somewhere. If you can forward me a time and place then I would really appreciate that. There might however be a chance that I will run into unforeseen events which might tie me down for a while.

Direktor,
My MND commander Dieter Jung might have contacted you by now since I got myself in a bit of a troublesome situation. The ordered arrest against Norman O'Connor didn't play out as planned, this cut me off from any form of communication for a while. The following happened:
Me and a few agents had it all set up but somehow Norman managed to get air of what was about to happen to him and before I knew what happened I found myself unconscious. When I woke up I was tied down and blind folded, shortly after I was dragged around before an explosion messed everything up even more. Apparently Norman has his own issues and some enemies of his blew up his apartment, almost catching me in the blast. I managed to get away fairly unharmed but it took me a while to get my bearings and report to an agent on Manhattan and request for an extraction.
I've just had my medical checkups and everything is cleared. However I feel as if someone tried to probe my mind as I keep having strange nightmares and I am barely able to get some sleep but nothing some drugs won't fix. I'll be taking it easy for the upcoming days, or at least this is the plan. Due to this incident with Norman I haven't been able to continue my work on your case 'Adlerauge'. However since these 'targets' trust me enough I might be able to return to them fairly quickly and continue my work.
But, before I do anything, I thought it would be wise if we arranged a new meeting again. Catch up on both sides?

Direktor,
Hereby the dossiers you have requested about the three individuals Noah Xonnel, Sapphire Raven and Joshua Hunt. I have also included an extra file that has the information of individuals that I met during the investigation. The investigation has had its hiccups due to me having to lie my way around to maintain my cover but so far it has been going alright. To gain more intel I have signed up for the Auxesian forces under an alias, she goes by the name Miri Keating, she also flies the vessel Green Sparrow. If you ever happen to run into her, then you will know that this is me.
It came to my knowledge that the BDM and Hunt share a certain bond mostly related via Geoff Enfield as they used to work together on a certain weapon. I will explain this further in the specific dossiers. I am sure you're already aware of the dealings and relationships that Geoff and Hunt share. They both seem to dislike each other, yet you and Hunt seem to be friends, or at least that's what I am hearing. Having this investigation shows distrust something I've also seen from Raven towards the BDM, possibly an opinion that was influenced by Hunt.
Moments ago I received word that the Auxesian fleet is moving towards the Koeln system and is undergoing a repair phase. There has been a security breach but it wasn't made clear to me what it really was. Not too long ago however there was a Liberty Navy pilot snatched in the Auxesian houses on Canaria. How this panned out in the end wasn't completely clear to me either.
On a more personal note, I'm glad that you're back on your feet again. I was beginning to worry myself when I was unable to get a reply, knowing the illness you're dealing with. I think it would be good to discuss what my orders would be in the case of you becoming unreachable, although I'd rather not think about this scenario. Since you mentioned that this was an investigation meant for your eyes only, it has been kept that way and I've not approached anyone else about the current mission. Dieter Jung, my MND supervisor has been kept in the dark as well but is aware that I'm under BDM assignment. He is still keeping taps on my health however, something that has been faltering here and there due to certain encounters with Noah Xonnel. However it can't be compared with what you're going through yourself.
This would be all for now, you can find the dossiers in the attachment below. If there are any questions then don't hesitate in contacting me.
Name: Noah Xonnel Nickname: "Paradox" Age: 34 Origin: Rheinland (raised in Liberty) Allegiances: Freelancer, Order Enemies: Nomads Known vessels: > Noah Xonnel (Eagle) > "Paradox" (Eagle) > Bleaching.Phoenix (Serenity) Important notes: > Is part of the Order, this is supported by the fact that he wears and 'Overwatch' sidearm and also showed me one of the Order vessels where he appeared to be recognized as a ranked officer of some kind. > Has an addiction and thus needs a supply of Stabiline. > DNA change allows him to affect someone's mind however this ability is not comparable with an infectie and its strength to control someone. > He does not appear to have a quarrel with Rheinland but doesn't seem very fond of us either. Currently:
For the sake of the complete investigation I have distanced myself from him. He began to show suspicious behaviour and I was feeling that I was running the risk of being found out. However I managed to gain some sightings of him in the Freeport 11 events where he was flying a Serenity class transport, assisting the Zoners with supplies. History summary:
Started off as a Hacker and managed to breach sensitive files of Liberty, this was more than ten years ago. Due to this infringement, Noah was set under surveillance by the Liberty Security Force. He however managed to find out about this and the agent he thought was his girlfriend was soon murdered by his hand. About what happened next he remained vague but I managed to find out some relations to the Order. He mentioned memories of how Toledo fell and the fights that went along with it. In these events he also appeared to have gained an ability one would normally obtain via Nomads or a heavy addictions. He appears to be operating in the shadows as a normal Freelancer, much like my own cover. What his objective was however remains to be seen as I was not able to uncover this.
Name: Sapphire Raven Nickname: Age: Origin: Friends: Joshua Hunt, Ruby (Core pilot), Emna Loyla Allegiances: Auxesia Enemies: Nomads, Corsairs, Outcasts Known vessels: > Sapphire Raven (Sabre) > Volucris (Wraith) > Eidolon Wraith (Bullhead) Important notes: > Close in relation to Hunt > Mood changes > Requested information about "The Zealous" > Requested a possible spy mission on the BDM, this was some time ago. > Requested assistance in finding out more about the Ish'tar. Currently:
Leader of the Auxesia and in command of the Eidolon Wraith supervising research operations. Communication is mostly done via the EIDO communication channel where Auxesia pilots leave their information but also receive their orders. History summary:
She was guildmaster of the Core but has left to fend for herself, reasons for this have been unknown. She secured herself with a chip that holds valuable information about the Core and threatened that this information would be released to the public if she would be harmed. Auxesia had fallen apart before, she mentioned everyone had died but the reason behind this remains unknown. With Hunt's help she managed to restore Auxesia and is now the leader of this group.
Name: Joshua Hunt Nickname: James Horrigan, "Endurance" Age: +30? Origin: Liberty Allegiances: Auxesia (current rank: Curator) Enemies: Geoff Enfield, Corsairs, Outcasts (with exceptions), Nomads Known vessels: > Endurance (Prosecutor) > James Horrigan (unknown) > ... no other personal vessels known. Currently:
They are organizing the fleet and looking into working together with the IRG on this weapon project that Hunt and Enfield worked on. The focused of all of this seems to be to have a forward defense against the Nomads. I however doubt this is their main purpose as often their interests or behaviour seems to show more than just wanting to fight the Nomads.
Hunt and Raven have also grown more attached to each other to the point where they discussed starting a family and this was almost realized but Raven's pregnancy proved to be causing more harm than good and was cancelled not long after they had found out. Considering Raven comes and goes from the medical bays I am not surprised that this course of action didn't pan out for them. Hunt was however showing signs of weakness in the process where he was terrified for Raven's life and the uncertainty of not knowing what was ahead seemed to be affecting him.
In Auxesia he is currently often found in charge of the Cincinnati. He can also be found on other vessels which are often of Hellfire origin as this group seems to be quite active in giving Auxesia assets. In my time here they have obtained a gunboat and several very heavy fighter class vessels, he can be found on these vessels as well. He always goes by the 'curator' for Auxesia. History summary:
Started as being part of the Liberty Navy and deserted to the Hellfire legion which he left later. In the following times he worked with Geoff Enfield and they were working on the prototypes of a weapon of mass destruction. Hunt however had an accident and lost both his legs in the process. Something drew Enfield and Hunt apart and had them go their separate ways. Hunt was leading the Aegis Initiative which has recently merged with the Auxesian forces and Sapphire Raven has become the new leader.

Agent,
I want you to find out what the Auxesian fleet has lost in Rheinland. In addition we require more information regarding the Dawnbreaker project... such as investors, location of the shipyard, how they obtain the necessary materials, who else is involved in this project, and the most important question - the purpose of this weapon. Your investigations will show if Auxesia plans to use it against us. Should Auxesia turn out to be a threat to the republic, then i do not need to mention how important it is to prevent its completion.
You will find a small remuneration within the attachment, as promised.
Oh! And by the way, before i forget it: Should you ever be interested in a well-paid job as intelligence officer, the doors to our agency are always open for you. Don't worry about Herr Jung, i'm sure he will find a replacement.
