I'd like to congratulate Señor Nicolás Diego for his recent promotion to a Logistics Officer!
From now on, Diego will be taking care of the supply chains supporting our headquarters, the Deterrence Sanctum, and our main source of income, Reincarnation Outpost.
If you need any help finding resources around, let me know. I have a few connections. Although, I have full trust in your abilities to get along just fine without my help.
Good luck, amigo. May her wisdom guide you and all of the Deterrence to prosperity.
Thank you for the promotion to DTR Logistics Officer.
I will do my best to keep our prosperity growing.
A few hours ago we filled the Reincarnation outpost with 132.000 units of Xenorelics and are waiting to be bought.
During the mining operation there was also an incident involving 2 Outcast pilots. We were able to successfully eliminate the Outcasts and continue our operation.
Unfortunately, I was not able to take any pictures of what happened, as the barge was hit by several torpedoes and rockets, and the on-board system responsible for the recordings failed.
Repair work on the barge has already begun on the outpost as repair crews have made their way from Tripoli to Knossos. The costs were low, so we don't have to record a minus.
The lastest combat reports are disturbing. Outcast forces are focusing their efforts on our mining operations on Reincarnation Outpost. The Leviathan took some holes during the last resupply activity, while a Correo freighter was lost. The situation was grim until patrols dispatched from Xi arrived and secured the area.
Even more disturbing, it seems Aliens have taken interest in the Leviathan as well. A rather big one intercepted the barge in Omicron Xi, but it was put out of its misery before causing extensive damage.
As of such, double the patrols in and around Reincarnation and our mining operation.
This development in planet Knossos is worrying. I will not tolerate any threats to the integrity of our lucrative business. I thought the usual patrols and scouts were enough, but the reports of nomads and outcast wings flying almost freely in our space is an insult.
I am authorizing reinforcements from Syros and Invicta, with their garrison stationed in Reincarnation. Reinforcements include our new aegis-equipped area denial cruisers and a command ship to support scout wings and serve as deterrent.
As for already stationed scouts, they'll be put into a rotative patrol. Their posts will be always occupied. There is no chance we won't know about anything that happens around the relic site.
This will incur increased personnel and ship maintenance. I trust our logistical officers to tend to the station timely and effectively.
This situation must be dealt with as soon as possible. These ships are needed elsewhere. I expect reports to be sent to me with relative frequency.
The latest developments along with the constant demands towards my position has taken a toll on my health. I deem myself not fit for duty for the time being, until I recover.
I ask for my leave for an undetermined period of time to be sanctioned by our grace.

<Saludos my brothers, we have good news.>
<This is captain Santiago del Olmo, from the Battlecruiser C.Trastamara. WE made a discovery of a daredevil luxury liner that departed from Stuttgart all the way to Omega 48, so we demanded them to surrender the weapons and cargo. We found out they only carried water, tobacco and some vacationers. They accepted to leave the ship if we spared they'r lifes. So we arranged to deliver them into planet Gran Canaria and my second in command, Cristian del Rio. He retrieved it to our homeworld, Omicron Gamma and we moved it into the Tripoli Shipyard for some hard refitting and adapting it to our systems. Glory to the imperio.>
The operation of "rescuing" Johnny was a success. One of our transports found, captured and brought the target alive. He is currently held at Invicta's prison as we speak.
He said he is a man of much money, perhaps the officers can make him squeeze some credits for our cause?
His ship is also docked at bay B2. A civilian heavy fighter without anything interesting on it, per Conquistador's report.

[01.08.2023 14:32:07] DTR-CCS>Conquistador: [The marine slaps the compartment and shouts] Johnny, we're tractoring your ship. If it explodes mid transit, not out fault!
[01.08.2023 14:32:25] RS|Johnny.Smirnoff: Roger
[01.08.2023 14:34:38] DTR-CCS>Conquistador: How are you feeling there, senor Johnny?

[01.08.2023 14:35:01] DTR-CCS>Conquistador: Good to hear. Don't like it when they complain.
[01.08.2023 14:36:36] DTR-CCS>Conquistador: We're approaching the jump hole, Johnny. It's going to be shaky on your end.
[01.08.2023 14:36:45] RS|Johnny.Smirnoff: Ok

End of recording
Nice work out there. Now that he's safely on board Invicta let him rest a bit in the container you brought him. I'm sure he's having a blast. A small taste of our hospitality will make him more receptive.
In the meantime we can figure out what do to with him.
We've put into commission special fighter weaponry from one of our planetside factories in Crete, codename SUPERSONICS.
They were in stock for a while but quickly ran out. The manufacturing process of this new initial batch should finish in "poucos momentos".
For those unfamiliar, these special weapons are unmatched in speed and agility. If you, guerrero, are interested in a batch for yourself, please contact me in private within this neuralnet channel. I'll commission another batch for you, but the creditos necessary will need to come out of your pocket.
Captain of the commercial fleet, Fernando Gomez los Santos.
Location
New Tokyo, Shikoku jumpgate.
Recipient
The Deterrence, via hypermatrix distress beacon.
If you're reading this, me and my crew already choked on carbon dioxide. There was never any hope for us.
Anyways, this is a emergency message from captain Fernando Gomez los Santos. Tell my family in the colony of Thira that I love them all, and will be watching them from the other side.
These god damn terrorists! they chased us from Kyushu to Shikoku! We managed to send the remaining escorts there to buy us some time, but they died in battle, valiantly. In a desperate move we tried to jump into New Tokyo, unfortunately being caught by a Kusari Navy patrol fighter. In what seems like to be an ambush, he fired cruise disruptors on our vessels without any hesitation, demanding us to halt. He just wasted our time, so the Golden Chrysanthemums could catch us. I tried to explain to him quickly that we were escaping an attack. they accused us of smuggling platinum!
He said to wait or he would shoot us. Then, our executors arrived. A whole fleet composed of Blood Dragons and Golden Chrysanthemums, and guess who more... Kusari Naval Forces! They sold us. Stalled us to our deaths. The Golden Chrysanthemums started to shoot all of us and then the Kusari Naval Forces joined them in their execution. A valiant member of the Hogosha managed to try to help us, but faced a quick death by more than six targets unleashing plasma charges on him.
Then, nothing more could have been done, first captain "Rodrigo Segura", aboard a Raba frigate, died soon after to the action of a Blood Dragon cruiser's heavy cannons, which ignited his fuel tank. Then, our liner had a thruster failure after too taking too much damage, and we were left powerless. Some seconds after, we were hit by heavy weaponry that mangled our ship apart. just 3 crew members made it to a safe airtight room. We had no time to reach for the escape pods. We never knew this room would be our final resting place and our steel coffin.
