Just a while ago,I did a complete patrol around the key areas of Omicron Mu
and the areas surrounding the Meskhenet Station in Omicron Zeta.No hostiles
were detected,and it seems that our defenses around all the jumpholes are holding out quite good.
Also,congratulations to Lennox on receiving the post of being charge of the Kusari operations.Best of luck on that.
I'm here to brief you all regarding the Outcast situation. Firstly, let's get all the
facts in one place.
Firstly, the 141st Taskgroup led sortie into Outcast territory, which yielded some clues
as to Outcast involvement. While the lack of primary personnel on site was a surprise
to me, the taskforce did exceedingly well under trying conditions. I commend you all.
But frankly, that was just the last piece in the puzzle. The erstwhile Order High Command
recieved a document from the IMG a few months ago. They chose to ignore it, in favor of
other concerns. We cannot afford to.
As a result, Glasgow Archive is declassified for all order agents.
The evidence is fairly damning. The Outcasts, wittingly or unwittingly, have proven themselves
at least partially responsible for Toledo. This must be rectified.
But we must go about fixing this state of affairs with cool heads and precision. The Outcasts
are a powerful organization, with highly skilled pilots. However, they don't expect us, and know
next to nothing about us.
Keeping all this in mind, Eriksson Ravenov has authorised Operation: Orange Illusion.
Select assets will be briefed on the operation shortly. Agents with prior experience fighting with or against the Outcasts are
encouraged to join.
Trusting the above is sufficiently clear...Good luck.

Angelus reporting in.
I was on standard patrol pattern through Omicron Zeta and Delta.As no ships
were spotted in Zeta I proceeded to Delta. I encountered two Core fighters
identifying themselves as 77th Squadron. We were having a talk untill agent
Adam Roth joined me .Soon later, a fight broke out. We were gaining the upper
hand untill Hunters called in two more bombers. Fight was getting tougher.
Shortly after Roth called in for support One Four One snubcraft support arrived.
One of Core bombers was wiped out by his own Nova.. Our luck didn't last long as
they decided to bring bigger guns. A Thresher destroyer. I ordered retreat to Zeta
and soon we were on our way. Just as we got there we spotted more One Four One
ships preparing an ambush, but for their luck, Hunters didn't follow us.
On another note, I am impressed by Roth's performance.
He did incredibly well even for trainee. I think he will be a good addition.
So, yes. On behalf of Johan Lennox, I'm here to remind all agents belonging to the Order| and the independent task forces that the Isis Burrito Nights are renamed Thebes Burrito Nights, and are still going on.
Punishments for being a complete and total idiot in the Order will involve you, Burrito Night, a plunger, a scrubber, soap, and your favorite shirt.
Bonjour Overwatch, Reconnaissance Agent Aline Alexandrie reporting in from Freeport 2. I have finished my reconnaissance of the chain of Systems that link the front lines of New Hampshire and Bremen to the Texas System.
First off, we have the Minnesota System, which is directly linked to Texas through a Jump Hole in F4, near Houston.
After jumping, evasive manuevers are mandatory to avoid any damaged caused by Moorhead Station, which sits...0K away from the Jump Hole according to scanners.
After that, I proceeded, using Navy Buoys and Navy patrols as guides, to the locations to find the Quebec Jump Hole, which is guarded by the Battleship Minneapolis.
After I found this, I discovered a transport wing from...Universal. Way out there. So, following it, I discovered a Universal Base christened Saint Paul, right next to Planet Hibbng and Blooming Moon.
After this, I returned to the Quebec Jump Hole and entered, exiting in the Quebec System. There was no defenses on the Quebec side, at least, not withing visual - or gun - range. I took guncams of a few planets in the distance, but I did not dare stay too long, as there was no escaping visual sighting from the Minneapolis, or Moorhead.
After this, I entered the Bremen system, as the path back to Colorado was too hot to try. In Bremen, I found the Rheinland Battleship Westphalia guarding the Jump Hole.
There were some planets, but I neglected to take guncams as it seems the Military didn't take to kindly to me entering Bremen. I set course and passed Cloppenburg base, which didn't like me (Guess they heard of Gallia too, and can't tell the difference between Royalist and Le Counsil), forcing me to head towards Freeport 2, where I currently am.
That is the findings of my reconnaissance flight into Liberty.
Well, sorry for contacting you guys so late through my travel plans but I've already made it to Gran Canaria and have hitched a ride into Order control space on a Zoner convoy to Zeta already, I'll be "Home Soon" along with Evie.
Foley here, reporting the start of Operation Orange Illusion.
I formed up with my wingman, flying Orochi-1, and myself on 3. We launched from Op point zero,
and immediately found a valid target. An outcast gunboat.
He proved to be hostile. Nothing good came of that.
We then chased an Outcast fighter into Tau-23, where he met up with another Tridente class.
They proved more talkative, and we attempted to reason. But they proved uncooperative
and the appearance of IMG vessels forced them to open fire. We did what we must.
After a short talk with the IMG vessels in the area, which yielded nothing. The IMG vessels
were simple pilots, and kept motioning us to talk to their High command. That would take
too much time.
Anyways, we met up with D'Angelo, and began a drop into Omicron Alpha. It was relatively
unprotected, with no capital class assets in sight. However, a few fighters broke off to
attack us. We proceeded with our mission.
The 101st pilot proved to be prudent and chose not to engage us. We decided to take this moment
to RTB.
During my patrol I found signal of escape pod in O.Minor system, not so clear and it looked like life support is failing. I tried to bluff in hope that I can get exact location of the escape pod, which did happened but with all system failure I had to search Alpha/Hotel sector from one to three, it gave LSF vessel upper hand in finding unknown escape pod.
I tried to pursuit them but without any luck, they had light craft that nearly burned my power core and engines, as result my firewalls were dropped at 10%. LSF agent hacked my communication and gave false coordinates to friendly units.
In between shooting Outcast fighters I have encountered Nomad cruiser supported by Outcast snubcraft. Deciding to utilize bomber for this mission I had rough time evading them loosing multiple nanobots but I managed to pull it through and kill cruiser in assistance with Lost Star and IMG security. All additional threats has been either forced to retreat or killed, including independent pirate working with the Outcasts. I have recovered 96 units of liquid cardamine during the battle, biggest drop I ever saw. Amusing how nomad hugger's missed shot finished off his own 'master'.
Preparing for depart to Omicron sector to deliver this cargo to OSD I was engaged by Valor class battleship which was quickly brought down with Orochi wing support and nearby BAF units who conditionlessly brought fire on themselves. With no cassualties we proceeded back to Omicron-100 where I handed over this captured cardamine.
On my way back to Tau's there has been news about Core capital ships in Tohoku, those has been dealt with appropriately. I am sure in nearby future local bomber squadrons will handle this particular issue with better "care".
