Salutations, Gallic National Intelligence force.

I hope you are doing well despite the apparent problem that has garnered your attention in the Omicron Delta system recently. I took note of the presence of one of your agents around Freeport 11 the other day. I do not doubt you are investigating the Nomad presence in the area, which all major houses seem to be vested in now. I’m certain one target in particular has caught your eye. Unfortunately, I do not have any further information for your investigation into this, but I have another matter to discuss with you which may be of threat to the security within your great house.

Not too long ago I gathered some intel from a meeting held between a few different individuals: a couple of known infected agents of the Nomads (Cipriano Adimari and Cherry Blossom), and a seemingly autonomous unit under the control of another unknown character (Red.Beetle-1).

In their discussion, the autonomous unit mentioned it had information regarding “Gallia and the ‘infiltrators’,” as it said. This was not something I could follow up on with the unit since I was occupied with continuing my investigation into the infected individuals present, however the information did seem sensitive for at least one of the infected persons.

If you have received any word on this matter I would greatly appreciate your cooperation. I will be on assignment in the vicinity of Gallia in the near future to look into this matter as well as the Nomad presence in the area. Therefore, if you would prefer to talk face-to-face it would not be a hassle to schedule a meeting. In the meantime, I have attached the relevant comm logs acquired pertaining this matter, view them at your leisure. I know it's not much to go off of, but that is why I am reaching out.

Until then, au revoir, have a pleasant day.

Captain Rishin Saito
Eclipse Vanguard Squadron, The Order

[20.03.2024 01:25:02] Red.Beetle-1: [[Endless unanswered questions.]]
[20.03.2024 01:25:08] Red.Beetle-1: [[I have some for you.]]
[20.03.2024 01:25:20] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: Miss Blossom, or myself?
[20.03.2024 01:25:35] Red.Beetle-1: [[You, Cipriano Adimari.]]
[20.03.2024 01:25:38] Cherry:Blossom: Oh a-and.. t-..thank y-ou f-or that c-..compliment.
[20.03.2024 01:25:56] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: You're most welcome.
[20.03.2024 01:26:57] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: I'm awaiting your questions, Red Beetle, though I can offer no guarantees that I will answer them.
[20.03.2024 01:27:20] Red.Beetle-1: [[I would like if you showed me the whereabouts of one of your colleagues.]]
[20.03.2024 01:27:26] Red.Beetle-1: [[Lucas Gerald.]]
[20.03.2024 01:27:37] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: And why would I do such a thing?
[20.03.2024 01:27:49] Red.Beetle-1: [[Why wouldn't you?]]
[20.03.2024 01:28:04] Cherry:Blossom: Oh I k-know that name. I h-heard it r-recently with a l-ocation attached.
[20.03.2024 01:28:17] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: Because I do not know you, Freelancer.
[20.03.2024 01:28:33] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: Why would I go and supply a stranger with the whereabouts of one of my "colleagues"?
[20.03.2024 01:28:36] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: What do I stand to gain?
[20.03.2024 01:28:40] Red.Beetle-1: [[Lucas does know me, or rather, my captain, I simply wish to discuss with him.]]
[20.03.2024 01:28:45] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: But, perhaps, miss Blossom will indulge you.
[20.03.2024 01:28:54] Cherry:Blossom: F-For the r-right price.
***[20.03.2024 01:29:24] Red.Beetle-1: [[Well, so far, nobody has provided me with needed intel to find him, even though I am willing to disclose certain information-
***[20.03.2024 01:29:39] Red.Beetle-1: -regarding Gallia and the "infiltrators".]]
***[20.03.2024 01:29:56] Red.Beetle-1: [[If I was to find him before that, I would have no reason to disclose such intel.]]
[20.03.2024 01:30:14] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: And to whom would you be disclosing such information? Myself? And what exactly do you believe that you may be
[20.03.2024 01:30:19] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: able to tell me that I would not already know?
[20.03.2024 01:30:40] Red.Beetle-1: [[Oh, apologies, I believe you didn't understand what I was saying.]]
[20.03.2024 01:31:01] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: Indeed I did not.
[20.03.2024 01:31:08] Red.Beetle-1: [[If I can meet Lucas Gerald before I disclose said intel, I will not disclose it. I am certain "yours" wouldn't want that.]]
[20.03.2024 01:31:48] Cherry:Blossom: Hmm. I t-think I get the h-hang of this.
[20.03.2024 01:32:01] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: And what if, instead of all this, you were to find yourself at the very center of a highly unfortunate accident?
[20.03.2024 01:32:22] Red.Beetle-1: [[I am already at the center of a "very unfortunate accident".]]
[20.03.2024 01:32:28] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: Which would have the potential to - I almost dare not say it - end your life.
[20.03.2024 01:32:41] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: Which, in return, would secure this supposed intelligence against potential adversaries, no?
[20.03.2024 01:32:47] Red.Beetle-1: [[Again, I am already in such position.]]
[20.03.2024 01:32:49] Cherry:Blossom: If I t-turn of my s-canners for a moment, I w-won't see anything.
[20.03.2024 01:33:07] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: Oh, you believe you are already in such a position.
[20.03.2024 01:33:28] Red.Beetle-1: [[Lucas Gerald has been harassing us for a while, I simply seek answers as to why would he do such thing.]]
[20.03.2024 01:33:49] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: And why do you believe Mr Gerald would disclose such information to someone like you?
[20.03.2024 01:33:56] Red.Beetle-1: [[If I was to disclose any secrets, it would be because of his actions entirely.]]
[20.03.2024 01:33:58] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: Would he not, instead, seek to end what he started? As you alluded to?
[20.03.2024 01:34:21] Red.Beetle-1: [[Why would Captain Gerald harass a freelancer? So persistently, even?]]
[20.03.2024 01:34:24] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: You see, even if you were to hypothetically meet with this individual you're seeking, you could still very well
[20.03.2024 01:34:32] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: attempt to disclose the information regardless, no?
[20.03.2024 01:34:36] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: What guarantee have we that you would not?
[20.03.2024 01:35:00] Red.Beetle-1: [[That is a fair question.]]
[20.03.2024 01:35:04] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: Of course, that is assuming you would live. Which, quite frankly, I find somewhat unlikely. If you have drawn the ire
[20.03.2024 01:35:19] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: of someone like Lucas, you most likely will find persuading them somewhat difficult.
[20.03.2024 01:35:28] Red.Beetle-1: [[We simply wish to be left alone. If yours do so, we will not disclose any secrets.]]
[20.03.2024 01:35:49] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: Were you dead, you would not either. And we would have every guarantee that you would not.
[20.03.2024 01:35:58] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: You see, such is the conundrum.
[20.03.2024 01:36:08] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: Lucas Gerald is not a trusting man, in my experience.
[20.03.2024 01:36:09] Red.Beetle-1: [[I think it would be not so simple.]]
[20.03.2024 01:36:20] Red.Beetle-1: [[You can certainly kill and silence my captain, but not me.]]
[20.03.2024 01:37:40] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: That doesn't sound very sporting.
[20.03.2024 01:37:55] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: I'll humor you.
[20.03.2024 01:38:01] Red.Beetle-1: [[Well, this vessel can be destroyed.]]
[20.03.2024 01:38:10] Red.Beetle-1: [[But it wouldn't change a thing.]]
[20.03.2024 01:38:14] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: You are most likely to find Gerald in the Taus, as of this moment. Their presence may bleed further, into the Edge,
[20.03.2024 01:38:18] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: though it most commonly has not.
[20.03.2024 01:38:27] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: However, a precise location I cannot - and will not - provide.
[20.03.2024 01:38:42] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: If you are expecting a more precise answer, I am afraid you must look elsewhere.
