My Lord, I'm here again in order to contact you. Recently I've got a nice bunch of activity logs thrown at me which could potentially please you, as far as I hope. There's generally 3 activities worth mentioning I can tell you about as of yet.
The one I'm going to start with is actually an amazing expedition report sent to me by our Liberty agenda. It contains logs and graphic materials which are as wonderful as they are disturbing, since some of the presented discoveries are hard to understand. For not to be retelling the original anyhow, I'm going to just quote it entirely if you will:

The expedition towards a structure known as "The Shrine" was planned to be started long ago. Recently discovered route logs left over by agents Wexler and Schmid (currrently being officially listed as MIA) were the final reason for expedition to finally happen. As for now, we're starting our brief log.

Finding Kansas system itself wasn't a big deal on it's own. It's basically a very quite and calm unpopulated system, containing several planets, asteroid fields and a nebula. However, you for sure feel something strange upon entering the system. As it was noted, some pilots become feeling uncomfortable, paranoid, even scared. There were also reports of people hearing some kind of an ambience which was either frightening for ones or pleasant for others. Rumors had it, there was once a mysterious base locationed with an asteroid containing the Magellan Jump hole, however, we had no luck finding it.

Note the strange particles flying all around there. Sadly, we had no time to inspect them more closely back then, we've collected a few samples though.

Logs stated the next destination being a distant bloody-coloured Nebula, so that was where we ventured towards. From inside it's colour turned out to be blue but not red, which is quite unusual. Apparently, Wexler and Schmid barely had any troubles with finding the needed object inside that cloud, while for us it took several hours until we finally spotted the needed thing which scared the hell out of us.

The sudden finding.

So we've jumped with closed eyes towards the Great Mystery lying before us.
The sight we later had to observe was with no doubt stunning. First feeling being amazement, second being fear. Total absence of navigational grid and unforgiving radiation level greatly strengthening the panic. Only option was moving into the system's central areas, according to the logs.

System being as deadly as it was amazingly beautiful. We believe one could die there by just observing all those unbelievable surroundings. It's a blessing we had a chance to visit such place.

Luck was with us all right, as it can be said. In the central asteroid field of the system an object had been spotted, long before our ships started falling apart. The object of an unknown origin, not like any that humans could ever build. We had our guesses who stood behind it's creation of course.

The Shrine itself.

Here's what the little note states, the one left by Schmid:

Not that we had something special to add to what's said in the note. Talked to the locals, they seem to be from the every corner of Sirius. They also seem united, enlightened in some way, we could see that in their eyes. They weren't too talkative towards us, however. I still have to think over all those conversations we had with them, it's like I still can't get something about it. What are their goals? How did they get there? Will they stay there forever or leave some day? We couldn't get any answers on that. Expedition's main goal was reached, however, we felt empty because of the lack of answers.
Our very nature told us to stay there for more, we had to force ourselves to leave. While feeling frustrated and upset, we've left them. Left that place as it would be something usual, regular to us. Wonderful brainwashing, performed by the essence of that place.
By following the ancient Nomad Lanes as they were called in the logs, we've left the system by a Jump Hole surprisingly leading us to the very heart of Sirius, to Pennsylvania. We wouldn't ever believe that there are such wonders located somewhere right beneath our nose.

Path to the Pennsylvania Jump Hole.

We'll be sending the report and additional attachments to you through the Informer, refer to him once you need any more details.

Second thing being a proof of a BPA representative being interested in our faction and your persona in particular. Recruiting agents of any enforcement structures is vital for increasing our overall influence. You may redirect him to us if you're too busy to have any negotiations.

[01.07.2016 18:47:07] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: That doesn't concern you.
[01.07.2016 18:47:13] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Our leader may be knowing much about them though, for sure.
[01.07.2016 18:47:28] (C~Roy.Lockhart: It concerns me of course.
[01.07.2016 18:47:28] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: Who is your leader?
[01.07.2016 18:47:37] BPA)Orion.Wampler: I'll let you two talk.
[01.07.2016 18:47:38] (C~Roy.Lockhart: He's known as Nomak.
[01.07.2016 18:47:51] BPA)Orion.Wampler: I know its important to you, Fitz.
[01.07.2016 18:47:55] (C~Roy.Lockhart: That's all I can say about him.
[01.07.2016 18:48:00] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: Where can I find Nomak?
[01.07.2016 18:48:23] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Well, that would be a great quest even for me.
[01.07.2016 18:48:47] (C~Roy.Lockhart: He wanders somewhere in distant Omicrons, as I know.
[01.07.2016 18:49:24] (C~Roy.Lockhart: I can only give you his neural-net ID if you're interested in contacting him.
[01.07.2016 18:49:54] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: I would appreciate that Roy
[01.07.2016 18:50:16] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Search the data base for Jared Nomak. (#id3140_99o-1)
[01.07.2016 18:50:41] (C~Roy.Lockhart: If that contact of him is still alive, you could possibly contact him.
[01.07.2016 18:51:09] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: Can you think of any way else, maybe?
[01.07.2016 18:51:11] (C~Roy.Lockhart: you up for an expedition into omicrons?
[01.07.2016 18:51:18] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Of finding him?
[01.07.2016 18:51:34] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: Yes.
[01.07.2016 18:52:05] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Only if your authorities let you to set an expedition to the Omicrons...
[01.07.2016 18:52:32] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Which will for sure lead to your probable eternal disappearance.
[01.07.2016 18:52:43] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Still no guarantee to find him.
[01.07.2016 18:52:58] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: Let me worry about that.
[01.07.2016 18:53:36] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: Do you have any base names?
[01.07.2016 18:53:40] (C~Roy.Lockhart: All right, I will leave it to your own concern then.
[01.07.2016 18:54:04] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Planet Malta could that be for a chance.
[01.07.2016 18:54:15] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Now let me actually ask you something.
[01.07.2016 18:54:32] (C~Roy.Lockhart: How did you hear of The Shrine?
[01.07.2016 18:55:24] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: It's a long story.
[01.07.2016 18:56:06] (C~Roy.Lockhart: And do you know it's whereabouts?
[01.07.2016 18:57:07] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Would you be interested in finding it maybe?
[01.07.2016 18:57:39] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: Thats why I'm asking you about it.
[01.07.2016 18:58:28] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Well...
[01.07.2016 18:58:40] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Is there something that trembles your mind about that?
[01.07.2016 18:59:17] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Some sort of a magnetic energies coming from somewhere?
[01.07.2016 18:59:49] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Mr. Gunderson?
[01.07.2016 18:59:56] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: I don't think so.
[01.07.2016 19:00:30] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Strange. Usually people feel something they can't for sure explain when they mention it.
[01.07.2016 19:01:10] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: I did grow up there for a short while, and then I was taken by a Freelancer.
[01.07.2016 19:01:22] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: So maybe it's natural to me.
[01.07.2016 19:01:27] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Taken to where? What was his name?
[01.07.2016 19:02:30] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: I can't remember that well about when I was taken, I just remember about The Shrine.
[01.07.2016 19:03:14] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Maybe it's time to actually visit The Home again then?
[01.07.2016 19:03:29] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Main question being, are you ready for a little journey, sir?
[01.07.2016 19:04:29] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: I want to go, but I don't think I'm ready. I'm still new to combat and I don't know what could be over there.
[01.07.2016 19:04:52] (C~Roy.Lockhart: No combat skills required.
[01.07.2016 19:05:21] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Home is quite a friendly place.
[01.07.2016 19:06:12] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: All I need is the information, Roy.
[01.07.2016 19:07:35] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Information?
[01.07.2016 19:07:50] (C~Roy.Lockhart: It has to be acquired through some real efforts.
[01.07.2016 19:08:02] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Physical efforts, Mr Gunderson.
[01.07.2016 19:08:28] (C~Roy.Lockhart: I'll put that straight: you're either interested and with Us or you're not.
[01.07.2016 19:09:38] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Pick your goals carefully: Enlightment now through the trust towards us. Or the mystery and probable disappearance while
[01.07.2016 19:09:47] (C~Roy.Lockhart: finding Mr Nomak.
[01.07.2016 19:09:59] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: My interests lie with The Shrine, but my allegiance lies with Bretonia.
[01.07.2016 19:10:26] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Allegiance has to be filtered by the Knowledge.
[01.07.2016 19:11:00] (C~Roy.Lockhart: If you don't know how the origins of what lies around you, there can be no true allegiance.
[01.07.2016 19:11:11] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Make your decision now, Mr Gunderson.
[01.07.2016 19:11:44] (C~Roy.Lockhart: As I said, we're quite low on time.
[01.07.2016 19:11:53] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: How do I know you aren't trying to draw me to my death?
[01.07.2016 19:11:55] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Journey won't really take long.
[01.07.2016 19:12:39] (C~Roy.Lockhart: As I stated, the path to Knowledge demands efforts and trust towards Us.
[01.07.2016 19:12:59] (C~Roy.Lockhart: What I can guarantee you, is that your life won't be like it was before.
[01.07.2016 19:13:32] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: Can I contact you someway in the future?
[01.07.2016 19:13:50] (C~Roy.Lockhart: So you're not coming now? Pity. Great pity.
[01.07.2016 19:14:01] (C~Roy.Lockhart: We rarely visit Bretonia.
[01.07.2016 19:14:10] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: Like I said I have to get permission to leave Bretonia.
[01.07.2016 19:14:16] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Your last chance would be contacting Nomak.
[01.07.2016 19:14:34] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Consider yourself being off-duty currently.
[01.07.2016 19:14:52] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Clear your mind and follow.
[01.07.2016 19:15:20] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Last time I'm asking you: are you going with us?
[01.07.2016 19:15:25] (C~Roy.Lockhart: If not,
[01.07.2016 19:15:31] (C~Roy.Lockhart: We'll be leaving now.
[01.07.2016 19:15:34] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: Hold on a second
[01.07.2016 19:17:12] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: Roy, can I get your contact information
[01.07.2016 19:17:33] 2016-06-30 20:18:57 SMT
[01.07.2016 19:18:02] (C~Roy.Lockhart: I won't give you my ID directly, as I'm just being one of many others.
[01.07.2016 19:18:35] (C~Roy.Lockhart: If you'll be seeking us anyhow, contact The Commune Informer.
[01.07.2016 19:18:36] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: What do you mean "one of many others"?
[01.07.2016 19:19:26] (C~Roy.Lockhart: I'm by far not the only member. We have agents all around Sirius, however, deeply undercovered.
[01.07.2016 19:19:50] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: How can I contact The Commune Informer?
[01.07.2016 19:19:50] (C~Roy.Lockhart: You're really trying my patience now: Are you coming with us or not?
[01.07.2016 19:20:33] (C~Roy.Lockhart: I give you 1 minute to decide.
[01.07.2016 19:20:55] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: I can not join you guys on your adventure just now, but thank you for what you gave me Roy.
[01.07.2016 19:21:19] (C~Roy.Lockhart: Then we're leaving.
[01.07.2016 19:21:36] BPA)Fitz.Gunderson: Good luck.
[01.07.2016 19:21:57] (C~Roy.Lockhart: You'll need it more in your future.

}

And the third thing being another compilation of explosions for your satisfaction. Most of those have survived, they're currently being cured and in the nearest future said to be sent to D9.
