Muninn - Unbreakable

Greetings, Deterrence. Following my previous tentative final report concerning the incidents in Honshu, I feel the need to wrap this up fully now that my operations are concluded in the Omega-7 system as well. With the the sudden disappearance of the renegades, I feel that our operational status has concluded. Despite ongoing surveillance of the targets both within Honshu and for the brief amount of time they operated within Omega-7, they maintained strict tight-beam communications between each other with very little spillage of information. What we have to report is based upon observational data rather than concrete information. It is suspected that these targets may not even be Corsairs at all, considering their adamant refusal to listen to both The Brotherhood and Deterrence, both of which are established organizations within the Corsair Empire. Additionally, their use of Corsair slang (Hola! Hola amigo! Greetings senor!) almost seemed to be used with a sarcastic twist instead of a genuine greeting. Lastly, they would repeat "We are under orders." when commanded to cease hostilities against the station in Honshu. Who these orders originated from is also unknown despite our best attempts to uncover this information. All of this information culminates in a belief that this may have been a false flag attack by an external party using Corsair assets to create a divide between the Empire and Kusari. When you add in the fact that the base in Omega-7 was hardly touched, you begin to see a pattern emerging. With their attempt to create a divide between Kusari and the Corsair empire failed, they have retreated to focus on another angle. This is only a theory based upon the requisite information collected from Honshu and Omega-7. I advise you keep a close eye on any equipment that may be in reserves or slated for destruction as unfriendly elements could have easily taken these ships and used them in this way. A second theory is that the empire may be splitting with the differing generations. An idyllic, younger, generation may feel that allying themselves with a house government, that has often been enemies of the empire, is not something they want to be apart of and may be attempting to return to a "simpler" time. By attacking the house under the flag of the Corsairs, they may have been attempting to force the powers that be back into a more conservative footing; bringing back what their elders may have romanticized in their stories. Lastly, and this is something concerning (and a little bit paranoid I'll admit), is the possibility of Nomad infestation. I'm sure you're aware of this possibility concerning your close alliance with The Order, however this is something that should be considered, even if the least likely theory amongst the others. Concerning the Core and Auxo activity in Omega-7, we believe this to be a side effect of the increased presence of Rheinland military in the system due to the threat of the regenade Corsairs. We don't believe this is connected to the current contract we have been operating under and have only provided this information as a courtesy (and maybe for a bit of a laugh). In closing, we have departed the Omegas and have moved on to other contracts. If you require our services in the future, then please feel free to reach out. Keep in mind, all of the above information is only conjecture and theory based upon what we observed and what little transmissions were coming from the target ships. Oh, and by the way, you can just call me J. No need for "just the letter" after my name. -J

You're probably boring me.
