Director.

It fills me with great displeasure to hear that you, alongside two other agents, ventured into Kusari space again. We expected a man of your caliber and history to stay true to his word, though it appears the Kappa was swept away by the river.
You will find that your entire family is barred entry to Kusari, as it would be equal to casting golden coins at a cat to continue permitting them free movement across Kusari while the esteemed "Großherzog" forgoes any decency in how to act around a friendly neighbors territory.

A skilled warrior has superior manners. Have you ever heard of such a term?
Despite your missteps, the Imperial Naval Intelligence shall disclosure what we have found out surrounding the Orkney Affair out of recognition and respect to the Bretonian Government and the people of Bretonia. The developments around Orkney may as well affect them.



"Goryō", in service of the Imperial Kusari Naval Intelligence.

Data Extracts - Orkney

All units returned safely and reported the following situation:

• All tradelanes within the system are offline, some show direct structural damage, others were abandoned.
  
  
• Both Jump Gates in the system are locked and show minimal structural damage. However, both Gates were knocked out of their prior vector.
  
  
• Issoudun Shipyard was destroyed by a yet to be determined force. EM signatures hint at the use of experimental weaponry on the outside and several explosions from within. This was a precision strike operation, with a high probability that it was initiated on the inside. No ship wrecks were detected which means the station was done for before units from their Battlecruiser could respond.
  
  
• Seemingly no attempts to salvage the wreckage were made so far, however our wing had to execute a Gallic patrol in order to get close to the wreck.
  
  
• Both the mining facility and the Gallic Battlecruiser appear intact. Extensive amounts of patrol units prevented a further analysis. Patrols were only encountered around the mining facility and the wreck.
  
  
• The situation on Dounby, an Independent Miner Guild outpost, was in disarray. Only wild speculations were encountered.
