Tsukihime Bastion

Masako, I have some important information for you. It is imperative to act quickly as it concerns our common associate, Susubo so I would again urge haste. Following information I managed to obtain from a commanding officer of a Zoner jumpship in Omicron Minor, prior to his departure to Kepler.

The “ABH” had unfortunately departed Sigmas and attempted to re-establish themselves again within Kepler. It seems the painful loss of the Tsukihime labs had finally subdued sufficiently for them to come back on their old grounds however the labs were again assailed and subsequently destroyed. I have not heard directly from Motoko Susubo since and I am afraid she may be in grave danger if not already forced to seek exile in Kusari. The Zoner commander I mentioned was part of disenchanted group of Omicron refugees that had sought to regroup their communities with ABH. Their forward scouts reported seeing flickering remains of the new depot. The perpetrator had been identified, however The Order Intelligence still tries to tally the full list of criminals behind this atrocity.

His name is James Erzie. An Order defector, turned Zoner researcher in aftermath of Zoner Confederation collapse had seen it fit to install himself as dictator of Ames research station in absence of higher authority. His aim is now set against “Tsukihime Bastion”, the secondary installation that houses bulk of the Zoners assets now. It is not hard to find as it is visible from the trade lane network. My hands are currently tied but I have a score to settle with this Erzie fellow. This is where you come in.

As I understand, you were affiliated with Liberty Rogues in your past. The Bastion needs any help it can get and I believe you still have a contact or two with these cartels. The Ingenuus Research Group is small but influential community currently usurped by Doctor James Erzie - their company assets must be a common sight at lanes patrolled by your past Rogue “pals”. Any harassment or even direct assistance lent to defenders of the Bastion will help relieve the pressure and even lead to turning the tide of battle. What I am going to tell you next is confidential so keep it to yourself. However you should know this: The Lane Hackers already denounced the I.R.G. so any ship belonging to the Professor's is to be considered friendly for this operation.

I am sincerely tired seeing someone going through the same hoops again and again only to see work of their life reduced to nothingness again and again. Motoko Susubo did not engaged in politics or attempted to tackle any of the local powers opting to stay neutral at any cost. If you can help her, it may be beginning of the end for those who oppose us.
