This report is posted earlier than expected seeing that we convinced Flora to respond to our Diplomatic Comms.
Firstly I'd like to report the successful extortion or destruction of corporate flunkies. These belonged to Ageira~, DSE) and AusPost group. In the case of AusPost the transport was asked to provide the location of their base in the New York system and the captain refused. In the case of DSE) transports I extracted the intel that they maintain the regular contract with the Knight Industries. This is of course the purchase of Platinum Ore from one of their bases in Alberta. [①②③④⑤⑥⑦⑧] Finally I am pleased with the attidute of the DSE flunkies. They have learned how to behave and are generally more accepting than their accomplices from other corporations.
Moving on, I should mention that while I was refueling my Bactrian at Barrier, I met a peculiar person using the alias "Vaelin". An ex-Order agent, who commands an Osiris-class battleship. He is on a "noble" task to help the less fortunate people of Sirius. Attempted to see if he interested in furthering our agenda, but he wasn't interested. In the end the contact sent his regards to Ms Hunter. [①] I have also met some [EFL] pirates in Kepler system. Calling themselves the "Erisian Liberation Front", they claimed to being former members of the Temporary Autonomous Zoners. Now they move from system to system while spreading their "revolution". I have informed that pirating without our permission in our turf is not allowed and demanded an apology. Eventually they apologized and then I contacted a [TAZ] vessel in order to receive more intel about them. [②] You might be surprised that you have reading access to this transmission without the need to hack into anything. That is because me of the backdoor that Captain Smithy left in his Message reference log. This was arranged when I caught him red-handed in Okinawa. My plan of course is to instill more fear within the Interspace ranks. [②]
Finally, regarding the incident with the Watcher Pitbull. Flora was caught entering California with a full load of alien artifacts. At the same time she is conducting on behalf of her cell negotiations with the Lane Hackers and one of the things she requested was the allowance to enter California and conduct operations in there. Therefore her actions mock the negotiations that she conducts. However, for the sake of the ongoing negotiations I was lenient to her affront, so with the assistance of Mr Scorpius we peacefully took her cargo for safekeeping. [①②]
