The Eidolon has completed a second run to the decaying City in Knossos, obtaining another hundred units of Relics. The first batch was obtained by Hachette. In addition, the Research Vessel Corvus has obtained both samples of Azurite and Relics, interdicted from a Universal vessel.




It has come to our attention that the one known as the "Edwards" in command of the LNS-Akhetaten has been arranging more meetings with the local Order branch, known as "S8". Observations of his movement and contacts are necessary. External assets are to be considered for such a task, due to his presence in Liberty.

Edwards accepting meeting request

[06.08.2021 22:01:29] Unto.Nightfall|S8: Hawkins: Gunnery, if the Core or Auxesian vessels come close, splash them.
[06.08.2021 22:01:29] 5th|Charlotte.Wilkes: A good day to you.
[06.08.2021 22:01:37] A/)-Zircon: Oh?
[06.08.2021 22:01:43] A/)-Zircon: Such a delightful sight.

[06.08.2021 22:02:25] Rook: Luckily for you Auxesian, I hate the Order quite a bit more.

[06.08.2021 22:02:39] Unto.Nightfall|S8: Hawkins: How lucky.
[06.08.2021 22:02:42] A/)-Zircon: I am unphased by such.

[06.08.2021 22:03:14] Unto.Nightfall|S8: Hawkins: Sysops, on my mark.

[06.08.2021 22:03:34] A/)-Zircon: Such persistance.
[06.08.2021 22:03:36] Unto.Nightfall|S8: Hawkins: Mark.
[06.08.2021 22:03:38] A/)-Zircon: One would ponder why they are here.
[06.08.2021 22:03:47] A/)-Zircon: No doubt to enact terror.

[06.08.2021 22:04:08] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Negative.


[06.08.2021 22:04:14] LNS-Resonance: Adams: My apologies, Fleet Admiral. We are currently staying in this position, awaiting further orders.

[06.08.2021 22:04:18] Oracle|Diana.Rivera: Whoever is responsible on the Akhetaten, I do recognize this design from way back in the day. It does ring a bell.
[06.08.2021 22:04:28] 46th|Delta-13: Copy, must just be me. *slams comms unit* Ahh...fixed.
[06.08.2021 22:04:44] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: And what about the design, Miss Rivera?
[06.08.2021 22:05:04] Oracle|Diana.Rivera: I'm curious. It looks ... different. The Order has adapted it, no?

[06.08.2021 22:05:06] Unto.Nightfall|S8: Hawkins: Edwards, kindly be in touch concerning the encounter.
[06.08.2021 22:05:18] A/)-Zircon: Hm.
[06.08.2021 22:05:21] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Kindly be in touch?
[06.08.2021 22:05:28] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Will keep that in mind.
[06.08.2021 22:05:35] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Let us meet some other time.
[06.08.2021 22:05:41] Rook: What an ugly god damn ship.
[06.08.2021 22:05:51] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Miss Rivera, the Akhetaten has never served for the Order nor is constructed by the Order.
[06.08.2021 22:05:56] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: RO: Say that again?
[06.08.2021 22:06:01] A/)-Zircon: Yet, more than willing to meet with the Order, hm?

[06.08.2021 22:06:06] Rook: I said.
[06.08.2021 22:06:10] Rook: "What an ugly god damn ship."

[06.08.2021 22:06:11] A/)-Zircon: What business would a Navy Commodore have with the Order?

[06.08.2021 22:06:40] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: RO: More information about the 5th Fleet meeting with Order operatives? Intriguing.
[06.08.2021 22:06:46] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: That would be none of your business.

[06.08.2021 22:06:57] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: RO: It is -our- business, however.
[06.08.2021 22:07:03] A/)-Zircon: It is quite my business, Mister The Edwards.
[06.08.2021 22:07:21] Rook: I can testify the 5th fleet was being harassed by an order vessel, rather than meeting with it.
[06.08.2021 22:07:29] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: You are advised to forward your concerns to the Admiralty.

[06.08.2021 22:07:52] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: RO: We did. And yet, nobody answered. Perhaps it is a good time to re-send the communication.
[06.08.2021 22:08:01] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: That is up to you.
[06.08.2021 22:08:13] LNS-Resonance: Adams: Maybe it is not worth the effort for the Admiralty.
[06.08.2021 22:08:24] LNS-Resonance: Adams: There are more pressing concerns to take care of.
[06.08.2021 22:08:29] A/)-Zircon: Or perhaps the cordial mannerism run deeper than you initially thought.

INTERNAL UPLINK - FOR DIRECTORATE EYES ONLY:

It appears we have some individuals interested in Harbinger's quest. We need to keep an eye on these persons, namely Vincent Abrams of the Ridge, Anna Heinrich and her partner - Luciano Marquez of the Order Overwatch, John Silverstone of the Rusty.Old.Screw and other vessels.

>DATA LOG: Order Operative in Kansas

My concerns were affirmed by Eris of the Vagrants, regarding who or what Shamash is. With clarity now in mind regarding the 'first one', we need not fear, but rejoice for opportunity. Vagrants have forewarned to not invoke their wrath, perhaps they may be in potential danger too, we do not know for now.

Regardless ... We are not to intervene at any cost - forget about Humanity, they will persist as always. We will defend ourselves if deemed necessary, but our focuses ultimately remain on path. Perhaps we can dedicate the Research Wing into investing for "pollutant dampeners" to deter both vessels alike, but for now Orion group remains on task for expansion and investment into cryo-tech and dark matter manipulation.

I do not fear Harbinger, but you reserve your rights for distrust.Species only care for their own, this much has been proven. I will not permit us to be manipulated. But their intentions have shown they are not interested within Gammu and the Ascension. For now, we will passive, once again barring the incidence of securing our home.

Oh, and Iseijin have been taking joyful shots at our vessels, do feel free to eliminate them if they are within the way.

In light of these new circumstances, I will require Hachette and Statuette to convene at the earliest convenience to discuss the potentials of the "Mastermind Project".
