Internal Log: Overhaul & Update - 4.11.742 A.G.S
The entire computing system for the vessel has been updated. We shall no longer be relying on automated updates, but rather inputs via personnel. This overhaul will be an ongoing project under Operation Bureau. Some of the overhauls and updates shall be listed below.
Overhaul
Internal System updated to customized programming.
Database streamlining and setup for multi-purpose usage.
Updates
Database performing expansion to bring information up-to-date.
Connection with additional personnel. Dossiers to be added to Database.
New Task - Acquisition of 1x cargo transport and 1x machining station.
New Task - Begin supply routing.
Database corrections. Home Port "##VG(42" relabeled as "Purple Veil". CO "{##22-" relabeled as "Vatan". CO "Vatan" to be communicated externally as "Lucas Gerald" to unknown parties.
Relations - Auxesia vessels and personnel to be treated as working partners. Operative Darche acting as liaison. Ingenuus Research Group (IRG) treated as a neutral party, investigation on possible further relations.

Internal Log: Task Update - 4.15.742 A.G.S
Both tasks have been completed. We have acquired a "DL" series transport named the Backdrift, as well as a factory-vessel named the Echoplex. Runs and supply routes have been established as we will be operating out of Lividia and Freeport 11. Echoplex is currently moored on Lividia for hold until we need it. Operation Orange is active via the Backdrift. Relations with cardamine dealers in Liberty has yet to be established beyond simple supply allowances by port personnel.
Suggestion of plan to switch operational port to Invergordon. Status shows a quieter system and less traffic, as well as not needing to deal with the Edgeworld zoners or the various power-sects in that region.

Internal Log: Operation Update - 4.22.742 A.G.S
Routine checkin. Operation Bureau remains a constant. With the recent request by Wolfe of the Lane Hackers, I've been digging around Rheinland and bringing up the desired information that the Hackers may want. The current contract sees reports for credits, which we are in need of to continue servicing of our recently expanded logistics wing. There seems to be an interest in the semi-recent attack on a prison station in Hamburg. Curiously, there seemed to have been a betrayal by the raiding forces, a rift tearing between the Red Hessians and the Unioners.
Originally, taking on work for the Hackers was two fold. A supply of credits and a way into the cardamine market within Liberty. Annoyingly the work is slow and the interest in our contract by the Lane Hackers seems low. We will see if it develops further within the next week or so.
My affiliation with Auxesia has been an interesting link. They informed and supported a removal of a few scrap stations built in Omicron Xi. Luckily, it was quick work. As I understand they also have decided to pursue an advancement in shield technology by copying our own barrier form. This should be reported on at a later time by those directly involved.
Now, a request. Module three remains empty. I have a desire to open up a workshop of sorts to continue my work from the core worlds. Understandably, this should also be open to all operatives for their own side projects.
Final note. I will be bouncing between Bering and Rheinland for the next five to seven days before analysis of the task is required to be conducted. Contact will remain open only when outside of Rheinland space, and we will listen for emergency requests or change in task.

Detailed update operation and tasks. Operation Pollux active. Operation Bureau active, new intel shipped to database for updates. Operation Gloom active. Operation Orange active, our logistics wing has been running optimally for this. Operation Atum on hold, pending updates from Auxesian Command.
Operative Grant has performed well to acquire the needed vessels. A new task is for you to coordinate with Auxesia's quartermasters for a more diverse commerce routing.
Operative Darche. Request to use module three for the stated purpose is denied. Remain active with Operation Bureau and Operation Orange. Additionally, look into the situation in Bering and the Unioners. We have seen what has transpired and wish to know the political climate and fallout that may come.

Internal Log: Task Update - 9.12.742 A.G.S
The end of the War has come. With it, Operation Gloom has been closed. Due to hostilities by the Maltese organizations, activity of Operation Orange is now limited to Operative Grant and her team.
We have received a link from a seeded operative within Rheinland, and are assisting them to move into Gallic space for reassignment. Details beyond that are unknown.
With the collapse of the monarchy within Gallia, we have decided to wait to see which of the many new factions are worth our interest. There is the Duchy of Burgundy, a remaining noble state that called for the ceasefire. The Council has finally been able to form itself and exist as a republican body, while Ile de France remains a neutral system. Provence remains in the hands of the Minarchy, which we shall continue to have limited contact with. The newest split comes from the remaining occupied systems in the Tau and upper Bretonian area, calling themselves the Royal Enclave. They appear to be continuing the conflict with Bretonia and the new provisional governments within Gallia. We should find targets to question when the time comes. Operative Darche will be tasked with this.
Further, we shall be retreating port to the Drake system or Inverness system until it is clear how the political landscape forms.

Internal Log: Task Update - 1.15.744 A.G.S
With the multiple wars coming to a close and the recent announcement from Gallia, now the Gallic Union, it is once more time for operations to be handled. Seeing as it has been a time a few small updates as the Pollux team is in-op already.
Operation Orange is gaining new leads. Operative Darche made contact with the Kusarian Cardamine movers and female revolutionaries, the Golden Chrysanthemum movement. While scouting within the Taus, the Gen'an cell was found engaging in combat with the Crayter Republic in a territorial dispute. Afterwards a few of their pilots took interest, resulting in confirming their ties to the narcotic. I was able to procure some of their stock. Interestingly, one of them questioned if it came from "The Shrine", which another informed that topic was not for open communications. Such location will need to be investigated. Perhaps they have found a proper way to grow it off Malta.
Operation Pollux is slowly growing roots. Through Command, word has come that a new launching point has been established both close to Gallia and Rheinland through the Zurich system. We should investigate this further as well as reconnecting with the distant cells in Gallia.
Though not an operation yet, we should likely reestablish ourselves with the new Gallic Union to reaffirm our position. However without an ongoing war it is likely the Sirians will take issue with direct involvement. It will be key to watch the situation as it develops.
Our small supply fleet has been busy moving materials for resupply and repair from the Edge sector. Lacking a "human" dock that is within current operational zones is becoming an issue.

Internal Log: Update - 4.1.744 A.G.S
I did some looking into a few situations. On-route to regroup with our contact, I stopped off in Liberty to refuel. It seems the Lights were attempting to snatch someone, yet it failed when others got involved. Many comments were of interest.
However, it was discovered an order recon vessel was found cloaked close to my ship. The nearby navy mobilized and took flight, myself disrupting its attempts to cruise. Interestingly, a Xeno terrorist helped the Order vessel escape into a jump hole anomaly. It appears a few were sympathetic to their cause and tried to reason against striking them. The order vessel strangely only open fired on myself. It is possible it was there to watch me.
--------
To report on the proper matter. I met with our contact. It appears the Lostshare has disregarded the Mirrorshare, leaving them to be attacked alone. This all centers around the Auxesia, now known as the Auxo. The Mirrorshare is reasonably enraged. I've asked the Auxo for comment. I suggest we reconnect with the Share at last. It might not be the time to remain seperate much longer.

[01.04.2021 20:17:26] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: We've got hostiles to take care of.
[01.04.2021 20:17:29] XA-Cobra: You sure they're your enemy?

[01.04.2021 20:18:50] Vesper.Stirling: Don't do something that stupid, Akhetaten.

[01.04.2021 20:20:02] LPI-BW-Leavenworth: Harrison: Now what the hell is a Order Capital ship doing here
[01.04.2021 20:20:03] XA-Cobra: I'm being serious, this time.

[01.04.2021 20:20:33] Omer.Darche: Do it!
[01.04.2021 20:20:35] Tricia.Reyes: For the love of god, do.
[01.04.2021 20:20:37] XA-Cobra: Harrison.
[01.04.2021 20:20:45] LPI-BW-Leavenworth: Harrison: Yes?
[01.04.2021 20:20:56] Tricia.Reyes: Well you're too late to do your job, terrorist.

[01.04.2021 20:21:17] XA-Cobra: If they turn into wreckage here, I'll come back and gut a lot of innocent people over this.
[01.04.2021 20:21:20] Omer.Darche: Letting a terrorist go?
[01.04.2021 20:21:21] LPI-BW-Leavenworth: Harrison: *Archs An Eyebrow* Sounds Interesting.
[01.04.2021 20:21:28] Tricia.Reyes: That saying you the former Core Guildmistress.
[01.04.2021 20:21:38] Tricia.Reyes: I see you too don't keep tabs on people. Good.
[01.04.2021 20:21:40] XA-Cobra: You can show them out under armed escort.
[01.04.2021 20:21:43] XA-Cobra: Think of the tabloids.
[01.04.2021 20:21:43] LPI-BW-Leavenworth: Harrison: But i can not allow a Hostile capital ship to be near Manhattan like this,
[01.04.2021 20:21:45] Order|CV-Shezmu: CO: The more reasong to finish you right here, scum.

[01.04.2021 20:22:29] LPI-BW-Leavenworth: Harrison: *Thinks* Now I do believe we cant let this go. Your offer is interesting Cobra but i decline.
[01.04.2021 20:22:30] Tricia.Reyes: And that was a threat.
[01.04.2021 20:22:36] LPI-BW-Leavenworth: Harrison: Clearance to remove this threat grante

[01.04.2021 20:23:17] XA-Cobra: Go go!
[01.04.2021 20:23:24] Hello.World!: Statement retracted. Current actions barely classify as "Politics".

[01.04.2021 20:25:26] Tricia.Reyes: You're lucky I'm on retirement, filth.
[01.04.2021 20:25:34] Tricia.Reyes: Go. Hide in your hole.
[01.04.2021 20:25:39] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: We are unable to damage the target effectively.
[01.04.2021 20:25:49] Hello.World!: Repeated incident.
[01.04.2021 20:25:58] Omer.Darche: It went through.
[01.04.2021 20:26:04] Tricia.Reyes: No point chasing it.
[01.04.2021 20:26:17] Omer.Darche: Damn terrorists.
[01.04.2021 20:26:33] Tricia.Reyes: This day just keeps getting better...
[01.04.2021 20:26:34] Hello.World!: Heading to next point of interest.
[01.04.2021 20:26:38] Tricia.Reyes: First the Nomads, then these bastards...
[01.04.2021 20:26:42] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: *Sighs* What the bloody hell is the Order doing so close to Manhattan?
[01.04.2021 20:26:48] Tricia.Reyes: And before that the Navy Officers were shooting each other.
[01.04.2021 20:26:51] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Miss Reyes, did you come across this cruiser earlier?
[01.04.2021 20:26:56] Hello.World!: Suggestion: Reclaiming your scrap.
[01.04.2021 20:27:05] Tricia.Reyes: Not just me. Others of the Core did, as well.
[01.04.2021 20:27:10] Tricia.Reyes: It's one of their recon cruisers.
[01.04.2021 20:27:17] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: I mean earlier on this day.
[01.04.2021 20:27:20] Tricia.Reyes: Nope.
[01.04.2021 20:27:30] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: I was not informed of an Order cruiser flying around New York as if it's nothing.
[01.04.2021 20:27:33] LPI-Nick.Harrison[C]: Great More issues...
[01.04.2021 20:27:39] Omer.Darche: That was entirely new.
[01.04.2021 20:27:58] Tricia.Reyes: Good thing I asked them to install this emitter.
[01.04.2021 20:28:04] GSB]-Albert,Louis: This is quite the gathering.
[01.04.2021 20:28:24] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Is that a Gallic transponder?
[01.04.2021 20:28:26] Tricia.Reyes: Cought three people trying to pass Manhattan cloaked thus far.
Conversation with contact happened outside Altair.
[01.04.2021 21:04:33] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Hello. I'm glad you could make it.
[01.04.2021 21:04:49] Omer.Darche: Katherine. Pleasure, as always.
[01.04.2021 21:05:19] Omer.Darche: Shall we just get to it?
[01.04.2021 21:05:45] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Certainly. I've had an, er, interesting few hours behind me.
[01.04.2021 21:05:59] Omer.Darche: Think we all have.
[01.04.2021 21:06:14] Omer.Darche: Now, what's going on?
[01.04.2021 21:06:27] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: How much do you know?
[01.04.2021 21:06:47] Omer.Darche: Very little. We're disconnected from the shares, you know?
[01.04.2021 21:06:56] Omer.Darche: Just that there's been a lot of movement.
[01.04.2021 21:07:33] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Well. The lostshare has been forming a bond for some time now with the human group calling themselves "Auxo".
[01.04.2021 21:07:33] Omer.Darche: Something seems off. Boss wanted me to look into it. He's-... It's not sharing everything it knows with me.
[01.04.2021 21:07:45] Omer.Darche: Ah. Yes, they have been.
[01.04.2021 21:08:03] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: This had been known to me for some time, I've flown with both of them together.
[01.04.2021 21:08:13] Omer.Darche: As have I.
[01.04.2021 21:08:21] Omer.Darche: I'm one of their "associates".
[01.04.2021 21:08:32] RV-Pennybrooke: It had not concerned me previously. If anything, it seemed like a positive sign. However, this clearly became something more.
[01.04.2021 21:09:05] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: It got to the point that when the humans attacked mainshare, the lostshare was unwilling to assist.
[01.04.2021 21:09:14] Omer.Darche: Eesh.
[01.04.2021 21:09:31] RV-Pennybrooke: This apparently happened more than once, though I was only present for the most recent - and last - incident of the sort.
[01.04.2021 21:09:45] Omer.Darche: I was looking into the Auxo's... Methods. They don't seem to respect all of the lights.
[01.04.2021 21:09:57] Omer.Darche: What happened at this last incident?
[01.04.2021 21:10:32] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: We were flying in the Barrier - nodes of both shares, and myself. Had some scuffles with the locals.
[01.04.2021 21:10:53] RV-Pennybrooke: But then Auxo decided to attack the mainshare - and myself, once I naturally came to their defense.
[01.04.2021 21:11:15] RV-Pennybrooke: The lostshare did nothing to assist us, or even to attempt de-escalation.
[01.04.2021 21:11:27] Omer.Darche: Tsk. What was the reason to attack?
[01.04.2021 21:12:04] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I...am not really sure of their motivations. Normally I'm quite good at reading diplomatic intent, but I truly-
[01.04.2021 21:12:22] RV-Pennybrooke: do not understand why they are so hostile to the mainshare, while clearly having close ties with the Vagrants.
[01.04.2021 21:12:40] Omer.Darche: I'm surprised the lostshare did nothing.
[01.04.2021 21:13:09] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Their bond obviously runs deeper than expected. It was...a particularly harsh moment of realization for me.
[01.04.2021 21:13:35] RV-Pennybrooke: Melia, the lostshare node, was a personal companion of mine. We were close. Very close.
[01.04.2021 21:13:45] Omer.Darche: Trust me, I'm aware.
[01.04.2021 21:14:07] Omer.Darche: After your last interaction with my Boss, our localshare all knew what happened.
[01.04.2021 21:14:34] RV-Pennybrooke: *her speech grows uneven* I- it is as if she chose them over me, and I cannot understand it.
[01.04.2021 21:14:50] Omer.Darche: How are the shares... Handling this?
[01.04.2021 21:15:22] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Probably better than me. Obviously I only know of the mainshare's moves, I have not had contacted with the lost-
[01.04.2021 21:15:32] RV-Pennybrooke: since. I'm not sure I ever want to after that.
[01.04.2021 21:15:46] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: We have had our squabbles before, but nothing like this.
[01.04.2021 21:15:54] Omer.Darche: Well, what does the mainshare desire?
[01.04.2021 21:16:34] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I sense they had been suspicious well before this incident, certainly more than I was.
[01.04.2021 21:17:06] RV-Pennybrooke: I wasn't aware of this being a repeat occurence until after. But apparently, the shares' relations were far from harmonious.
[01.04.2021 21:17:38] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: They are on the warpath. Or at the very least, show little interest in reconciliation.
[01.04.2021 21:18:00] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I....I don't know what it's like for them. I suppose they don't really know how to act in such a situation either.
[01.04.2021 21:18:17] RV-Pennybrooke: In a way, it's a strangely human-like diplomatic situation all of a sudden.
[01.04.2021 21:18:41] Omer.Darche: *He exhales, adjusting in his flight chair.* Well. There is a reason we never reconnected with either share after exiting-
[01.04.2021 21:18:44] Omer.Darche: stasis.
[01.04.2021 21:19:15] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: You're as lost as I am in that sense.
[01.04.2021 21:19:30] Omer.Darche: Normally, any forms of working against the Mirrorshare-... Er. Mainshare, as you call it, are removed. Entirely. Violently, if-
[01.04.2021 21:19:34] Omer.Darche: needed. It's never pretty.
[01.04.2021 21:19:46] Omer.Darche: Indeed, I am lost.
[01.04.2021 21:19:52] Omer.Darche: We all are.
[01.04.2021 21:20:07] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I still don't understand their motivation. Why would they break away so violently?
[01.04.2021 21:20:15] Omer.Darche: The Lostshare?
[01.04.2021 21:20:23] RV-Pennybrooke: What are they hoping to achieve apart from those they allegedly wished to reunite with?
[01.04.2021 21:20:46] Omer.Darche: I haven't a clue. This is... Well.
[01.04.2021 21:20:57] Omer.Darche: I can't answer that.
[01.04.2021 21:21:00] Omer.Darche: I don't know how to.
[01.04.2021 21:21:07] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: That was always my understanding, at least. That the lostshare's ultimate goal was reunification..
[01.04.2021 21:21:23] RV-Pennybrooke: Clearly that isn't the case. Unless this is part of some extradimensional plan I cannot fathom.
[01.04.2021 21:21:53] Omer.Darche: I'll be honest, it never made sense to me. I was trained here, and worked with the Mainshare. These-... Lost ones.
[01.04.2021 21:21:57] Omer.Darche: I don't understand them all.
[01.04.2021 21:22:17] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I- I thought I did. Obviously I was badly misled.
[01.04.2021 21:22:24] Omer.Darche: Aliens among Aliens.
[01.04.2021 21:22:40] Omer.Darche: Will it be war, then?
[01.04.2021 21:23:11] Omer.Darche: Whatever that might look like.
[01.04.2021 21:23:46] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I'm not sure there will even be contact. It seems the lostshare is vacating the Edge.
[01.04.2021 21:24:03] Omer.Darche: Even the Veil?
[01.04.2021 21:24:20] RV-Pennybrooke: I haven't seen them around here, at least. I...*she swallows* I waited. At our old spot.
[01.04.2021 21:24:41] Omer.Darche: Well... I know where they went.
[01.04.2021 21:25:00] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: If I had to guess, I would assume they intend to fill the hive in the Barrier.
[01.04.2021 21:25:07] Omer.Darche: We saw them moving there. That's what pointed out there were issues. Indeed so.
[01.04.2021 21:25:11] Omer.Darche: Inverness.
[01.04.2021 21:25:34] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I still don't understand why.
[01.04.2021 21:26:17] Omer.Darche: It's irritating to say, but if the Lostshare got too close and lost their way then...
[01.04.2021 21:26:18] Omer.Darche: Well.
[01.04.2021 21:26:28] Omer.Darche: They are considered defunctional.
[01.04.2021 21:27:00] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I understand that. My allegiance and duty is to the mindshare. Regardless of....personal attachments.
[01.04.2021 21:27:18] Omer.Darche: Well. Personally, I'm glad to hear that.
[01.04.2021 21:27:26] Omer.Darche: Any other answer generally gets you killed.
[01.04.2021 21:28:19] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I mean, I can't give up hope quite yet. I don't know if there is some way to reconcile them.
[01.04.2021 21:28:38] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Break the spell these troublesome humans have seemingly put them under.
[01.04.2021 21:28:54] Omer.Darche: Devil's advocate, is it worth doing?
[01.04.2021 21:29:26] Omer.Darche: If they are actively hampering the Light, then there are larger issues that can't simply be ignored.
[01.04.2021 21:30:12] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: *sighing* Reconciliation is all I've ever wanted. I've dedicated my life to reconciling humans with the Light-
[01.04.2021 21:30:33] RV-Pennybrooke: compared to that, it feels like reconciling the shares would be a smaller task. But that may be naivite.
[01.04.2021 21:31:11] Omer.Darche: Depending, it might be.
[01.04.2021 21:31:17] Omer.Darche: I can't say for sure. I'm not one of them.
[01.04.2021 21:32:16] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I don't even know how to find them nowadays. Nor if I would even want to.
[01.04.2021 21:32:36] RV-Pennybrooke: I know they can find me. They always can, thanks to that little machine in the back of my ship.
[01.04.2021 21:32:40] RV-Pennybrooke: But they haven't tried.
[01.04.2021 21:32:53] Omer.Darche: *A sharp breath.* Well. I can at least start with what is reasonable.
[01.04.2021 21:33:10] Omer.Darche: The Technocracy struck the Mainshare, yes?
[01.04.2021 21:34:58] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Yes. And in an act of aggression, they were not threatened nor was their space intruded upon.
[01.04.2021 21:35:12] Omer.Darche: Well. Damn.
[01.04.2021 21:35:31] Omer.Darche: I'll have to cut ties, then.
[01.04.2021 21:36:02] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: So it seems. A shame, as they seemed on of the few reasonable human groups.
[01.04.2021 21:36:35] Omer.Darche: Sadly. I hope they don't act spiteful. I've the Order crawling down my back already.
[01.04.2021 21:37:23] Omer.Darche: Before I was able to return here, one of those Order recon ships was spying on me with a cloak.
[01.04.2021 21:38:00] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Indeed, the Edge has entered another particularly hostile phase. It always comes and goes.
[01.04.2021 21:38:12] Omer.Darche: Ah-... This was in the heart of Liberty.
[01.04.2021 21:38:42] Omer.Darche: I suggest you act cautiously too.
[01.04.2021 21:38:43] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: *laughing* Oh. That's peculiar. Though I'd prefer them to stay there.
[01.04.2021 21:39:00] Omer.Darche: Hampers my own work, honestly.
[01.04.2021 21:39:10] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Don't worry. My lust for adventure has diminished substantially after that incident.
[01.04.2021 21:39:23] Omer.Darche: Well. Know you can always reach out.
[01.04.2021 21:39:33] Omer.Darche: We mostly focus our near the Taus, but still.
[01.04.2021 21:39:42] Omer.Darche: Out, rather.
[01.04.2021 21:40:18] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I think I should eventually travel again. Find out more, and not just about our own conflict.
[01.04.2021 21:40:24] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Oh, hello dear.
[01.04.2021 21:40:33] K'Hara|Husas: **-ours- <send> "warmth"-to -yours- <kind>**
[01.04.2021 21:40:34] Omer.Darche: Mh.
[01.04.2021 21:40:50] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: For now though, I am hesitant to leave the home region.
[01.04.2021 21:40:51] Omer.Darche: And perhaps you should.
[01.04.2021 21:41:01] Omer.Darche: Take your time. My offer remains.
[01.04.2021 21:41:09] K'Hara|Husas: **-ours- <inquire> "about" ~lost-ones~**
[01.04.2021 21:41:24] Omer.Darche: Mhn. We were just discussing... That.
[01.04.2021 21:41:33] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: *smiles* You're not the first. Unfortunately, as I had said, I don't really know that much.
[01.04.2021 21:41:55] K'Hara|Husas: **-ours- <minds> "seek"-to ~find~ <ways>-to "reason"-with <departure>-of ~lost-ones~**
[01.04.2021 21:42:03] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: All I can say is that the bond they forged with these humans obviously goes a lot deeper than I thought.
[01.04.2021 21:42:32] RV-Pennybrooke: If we want them to return to the fold, we must find a way to break them apart from the Auxo.
[01.04.2021 21:42:42] Omer.Darche: Indeed so. Don't take my word for it, but it appears they are... Well... Defective in their purpose.
[01.04.2021 21:42:53] Omer.Darche: Either they fix that or... Well.
[01.04.2021 21:43:01] Omer.Darche: They are truly lost.
[01.04.2021 21:43:10] K'Hara|Husas: **-theirs- <metal-husks> "flesh-husks" <reeks>-of ~darkness~ <lost-ones> "seduce"-by ~temptations~**
[01.04.2021 21:43:25] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I do wonder if the Auxo are employing some unknown means of influencing the share.
[01.04.2021 21:43:36] Omer.Darche: Is that possible?
[01.04.2021 21:43:42] RV-Pennybrooke: It is simply....hard to believe that they would follow such a path without any sort of coersion.
[01.04.2021 21:43:51] RV-Pennybrooke: I have no idea. I'm just speculating wildly.
[01.04.2021 21:44:01] K'Hara|Husas: **-ours- <seek>-to "know" ~theirs~ <ways> ~probing~-to <theirs> "inner-minds"**
[01.04.2021 21:44:33] Omer.Darche: I've worked with them for a while now.
[01.04.2021 21:44:57] Omer.Darche: Power, collecting power, and collecting technology seems to be their desires. Their ways.
[01.04.2021 21:45:28] Omer.Darche: I was investigating a tip off that they were even testing and experimenting on the Lights.
[01.04.2021 21:46:31] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: That would not surprise me. I'm certain some of their technology uses elements of alien tech.
[01.04.2021 21:46:42] K'Hara|Husas: **-theirs- <ways> "defile"-ours <consciousness>-with ~dark-shells~-from "ours" ~light~**
[01.04.2021 21:46:55] Omer.Darche: Most human advancements came from the Lights.
[01.04.2021 21:47:07] Omer.Darche: And, well-... Uh.
[01.04.2021 21:47:11] Omer.Darche: Yes, vaguely.
[01.04.2021 21:47:53] K'Hara|Husas: **-ours- <shall> "purify" -theirs- <metal-flesh> ~abominations~-with <spitfire>**
[01.04.2021 21:48:19] Omer.Darche: Ah.. Well. That seems to be the way to do it.
[01.04.2021 21:48:20] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I would hope it won't have to come to that, but if it does, well....I'll be there by your side.
[01.04.2021 21:48:48] K'Hara|Husas: **-yours- <shall> "follow" -ours- ~truth~ <lost-ones>-shall ~face~ <spitfire>-in <presence>-of ~abominations~**
[01.04.2021 21:48:57] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I should investigate the matter further. I don't know if either the Auxo or the lostshare would be willing to speak.
[01.04.2021 21:49:09] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I'm not sure I'd even be safe attempting to do so.
[01.04.2021 21:49:13] Omer.Darche: I'm not sure how much longer I can remain undercover.
[01.04.2021 21:49:24] Omer.Darche: I've a link with the Auxo I can use. See if they comment.
[01.04.2021 21:49:39] Omer.Darche: I've not seen any of the Lostshare for some time.
[01.04.2021 21:49:43] K'Hara|Husas: **-ours- <enlightened-husks> "seek" ~truth~ -ours- <minds> "focus"-on -theirs- <void>**
[01.04.2021 21:49:50] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Well, "undercover" isn't a black-and-white definition, I can tell you that much.
[01.04.2021 21:50:24] Omer.Darche: Indeed. More in that when it comes to opening fire, I'll support the lights when needed.
[01.04.2021 21:50:34] Omer.Darche: Hard to remain out of sight when that happens.
[01.04.2021 21:51:00] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I doubt the humans would attack me on my own. I don't think there's anything personal there.
[01.04.2021 21:51:23] Omer.Darche: The Order will, entirely. But I'm unsure of those of the Auxo.
[01.04.2021 21:51:28] Omer.Darche: Or anyone else.
[01.04.2021 21:51:35] K'Hara|Husas: **<light-husks> -yours- <seek> -ours- ~unified~-<minds> (question)**
[01.04.2021 21:51:43] Omer.Darche: You're fairly well known apparently-
[01.04.2021 21:51:51] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Well, the Core and Order have long had me in their "very bad people" lists.
[01.04.2021 21:51:56] Omer.Darche: Mh.
[01.04.2021 21:52:01] RV-Pennybrooke: But other humans generally haven't.
[01.04.2021 21:52:21] Omer.Darche: If you are asking if we'd like to see the Minds unified, I think that would be the best.
[01.04.2021 21:52:30] Omer.Darche: However, I don't see it working right now.
[01.04.2021 21:52:54] K'Hara|Husas: **-ours- <shall>-be "one"-in ~truth~-in <warmth>-to ~purge~ <lost-minds>-from "darkness"**
[01.04.2021 21:53:27] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: See, that is what I had learned from the lostshare too, that they ultimately desired reunification.
[01.04.2021 21:53:45] RV-Pennybrooke: But obviously that has been cast into doubt now, to put it mildly.
[01.04.2021 21:53:52] Omer.Darche: Mildly, indeed.
[01.04.2021 21:54:04] Omer.Darche: If there is darkness at all, it needs to be removed.
[01.04.2021 21:54:21] K'Hara|Husas: **-ours- <sense> "inevitability" -ours- <gave> ~way~ -theirs- <blinded>-by "ignorance"**
[01.04.2021 21:54:31] Omer.Darche: Any split, any division only ruins things.
[01.04.2021 21:54:41] Omer.Darche: Whatever the result, I hope it is swift.
[01.04.2021 21:55:18] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I- I do not want to imagine the pain of having to fight them, if it ever comes to that.
[01.04.2021 21:55:41] Omer.Darche: Your fault for getting emotionally attached, if I can speak frankly.
[01.04.2021 21:56:09] K'Hara|Husas: **-yours- <feelings>-be "one"-with -ours- <minds> ~not~ <lost-ones> "minds"**
[01.04.2021 21:57:18] Omer.Darche: Hers, perhaps. Blame time and energy causing my localshare being seperated from your minds.
[01.04.2021 21:58:13] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I...I obviously did not anticipate such a thing could even be possible. Though, perhaps I should have.
[01.04.2021 21:58:34] Omer.Darche: You should be retrained, likely.
[01.04.2021 21:58:50] RV-Pennybrooke: If anyone should have anticipated it, it should have been me. I will forever consider that a failing.
[01.04.2021 21:59:36] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Though speaking of training, I only learned today that my long-time mentor Angela Corino is dead?
[01.04.2021 21:59:41] K'Hara|Husas: **-yours- <know> "things" <lead>-to "new" ~paths~-in <realization>**
[01.04.2021 21:59:49] RV-Pennybrooke: As if there had not been enough bad news lately.
[01.04.2021 21:59:57] Omer.Darche: Angela Corino? Don't know the name.
[01.04.2021 22:00:24] RV-Pennybrooke: She was often called "the Emissary". She held a similar role to mine.
[01.04.2021 22:00:37] Omer.Darche: Ah. That title I know.
[01.04.2021 22:00:54] Omer.Darche: We worked with her a few times.
[01.04.2021 22:01:02] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Killed by the Order. I hadn't heard from her in years, though that was not in itself unusual.
[01.04.2021 22:01:06] K'Hara|Husas: **-ours- <sense> "emissary"-of ~truth~ -ours- <shall> "purge" ~flesh-husks~-for <light-husk> ~demise~**
[01.04.2021 22:01:43] Omer.Darche: Speaking of. The Light should know that the Order-... Er. Banishers, are increasing their influence.
[01.04.2021 22:01:52] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Well, I do hope you consider the possibility that a solution not involving too much purging could be found.
[01.04.2021 22:02:05] Omer.Darche: We'll see.
[01.04.2021 22:02:17] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Yes, I've certainly noticed greater activity of our enemies.
[01.04.2021 22:02:17] K'Hara|Husas: **-those- <who> "seek" ~darkness~-to -ours- <light> -theirs- <shall> ~face~ -ours- <wrath>**
[01.04.2021 22:03:00] Omer.Darche: They've pushed out of the Edge, this nebula.
[01.04.2021 22:04:29] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Well, they've always had a tendency to pop up all over the colonies in the most annoying fashion.
[01.04.2021 22:04:38] Omer.Darche: Indeed so.

[01.04.2021 22:05:13] Omer.Darche: I'll speak with the Auxo, see if they're willing to comment on it. If they respond, I'll forward it to you.
[01.04.2021 22:05:52] Omer.Darche: I'm preparing to tear them down for what they done, at the very least.
[01.04.2021 22:06:22] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Please do. I am hesitant to attempt communication with them, given we last parted under gunfire.
[01.04.2021 22:06:56] K'Hara|Husas: **-yours- <shall>-be "guided" -ours- <shall> "bring" ~warmth~-to -yours- <plans>**
[01.04.2021 22:07:13] Omer.Darche: Mh. Thank you.
[01.04.2021 22:07:33] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I hope so. We could really use some success in these difficult times.
[01.04.2021 22:07:40] Omer.Darche: If at all possible... See if the Lostshare will speak to you, Katherine.
[01.04.2021 22:08:01] K'Hara|Husas: **-ours- <shall> "observe" -ours- <voidwalkers> "shall" ~hide~-in <cover>**
[01.04.2021 22:08:13] Omer.Darche: Understood.
[01.04.2021 22:08:18] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I'll....I'll try. I really have no idea if they would. And I am somewhat uncertain how I would....handle it.
[01.04.2021 22:08:29] Omer.Darche: You're the one most connected with them.
[01.04.2021 22:08:36] Omer.Darche: You're the most likely to succeed.
[01.04.2021 22:08:52] Omer.Darche: Even if it does not work, an attempt should be made.
[01.04.2021 22:10:21] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: At the very least, I doubt they would react with hostility. That would more likely come from my side.
[01.04.2021 22:10:40] Omer.Darche: Whatever you think is best.
[01.04.2021 22:11:16] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Truthfully, I am not sure how to even reach them. I suppose the Barrier hive is the most likely starting point.
[01.04.2021 22:12:00] Omer.Darche: Agreed there. Just be safe. The whole area is in active revolt and war.
[01.04.2021 22:12:36] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Mm. It may be time once again to travel unarmed, as I always did so many years ago.
[01.04.2021 22:12:47] Omer.Darche: You think that's wise?
[01.04.2021 22:12:59] K'Hara|Husas: **-yours- <swim>-in ~void~-with "darkness" <flowing> -yours- <minds>-shall "know"**
[01.04.2021 22:13:09] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: In my experience, humans in tense situations tend to react better to unarmed vessels.
[01.04.2021 22:13:49] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: If nothing else, the mainshare will always know where I am thanks to the matrix.
[01.04.2021 22:14:15] Omer.Darche: Well... Then I wish you luck.
[01.04.2021 22:14:24] K'Hara|Husas: **-ours- <shall> "keep" -yours- ~husks~ <filled>-with ~wamrth~**
[01.04.2021 22:14:30] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: There's no such thing as luck, dear.
[01.04.2021 22:14:39] Omer.Darche: Habit.
[01.04.2021 22:14:48] Omer.Darche: I've a persona to maintain, non?
[01.04.2021 22:14:55] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Heh. I understand.
[01.04.2021 22:15:33] K'Hara|Husas: **-yours- <face> "dark-presence" -ours- ~light~ <shall> "shine"-on ~theirs~ <dark-husks>**
[01.04.2021 22:15:58] Omer.Darche: Indeed so. With what I know now, I'll have to inform the Vatan to move this way.
[01.04.2021 22:16:05] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: *happily* Thanks. It means a lot to me to feel the Light's backing.
[01.04.2021 22:16:29] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Now, I have a trip to plan. I should find some rest and check all my mechanicals.
[01.04.2021 22:16:55] Omer.Darche: Alright. I need to get back into the field.
[01.04.2021 22:16:55] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Stay safe and please, try not to instigate against the Lostshare if you can avoid it.
[01.04.2021 22:17:00] 2021-04-01 22:16:57 SMT Traffic control alert: RV-Pennybrooke has requested to dock
[01.04.2021 22:17:05] Omer.Darche: I'm not, I'm not.
[01.04.2021 22:17:28] Omer.Darche: Be well, Light. Warmth have you.

There has been quite a shake up in the Tau Cluster, with conflict spilling into Kyushu. Most interestingly, a new movement of Gallic Royalists have popped up, operating within the Taus and Hebrides. I've personally only had minor interactions with them so far, but they seem in line with our own goals. This will put us at odds with other organizations however, so we must tread carefully.
In Kyushu, the Gen'an and Kusarian Forces have been going at it within the Seiran Cloud, seemingly over an installation there. I've not taken a side quite yet, however I know the Boss has acted already.
Finally, as for the situation brought forward by the Boss. The case is the Mirrorshare, also known as the Mainshare, has decided to entirely cast off the Lostshare. Due to this, it may be best to defer to our head for how to move forward. It is a shame, but nothing we can do. Pennybrooke seems to be in the same situation as us. For now, I suggest we leave it alone. Operations are returned to active status, with further updates coming soon.

Liberty became a bit interesting again.
The Xeno movement doubled their efforts in the bordering worlds, notably in Hudson. Our "friends" from Inverness seem to have taken notice of this as well and tend to float about during situations. Interestingly, Rheinlandic patrols picked up in that system.
There's an interesting character, callsign "Ridge". Hires what he calls bodyguards and seems to side with the Xenos out in Hudson. From what most people call him, seems to be some sort of scientist. What he works on is anyone's guess. Didn't speak much.
Kepler calmed down since the storm rolled through. Only normal traffic, the occasional loitering ship around Ames. Still nothing suitable location-wise. Liberty would be a nice location if it wasn't for the rampaging type to tear down anything undefended. Darche, might need you to use your contacts to look into the Hudson situation a bit more.
