Golanski here

Not that long time ago patrols from OCV Inquisitor stumbled upon previously unknown jumphole in Omicron Mu system. As systems have two jumpholes or more, I personally briefed patrol involved to keep it low profile. Withdrawing information to anyone but higher echelons, I already arranged small scale build up to set up exploration outpost.

Nobody's home as we might have been first in there so let's keep it that way... all that we know at the momenth has been classified as "Eridani" under Overwatch levels of clearance.

Now to problem of 141... given you sustained heavy cassualties, we might be forced to rally your forces to The Order's mainstay divisions, such as primary fleet. We need every unit to work at highest humanly possible efficiency.

Golanski out.

This channel...I've never had to use it, but in this situation, this must be kept in house.

A few days ago, the Tombstone-prototype "Graveyard" was brought to Akabat Orbit, where I boarded it to find Kelly Hellion, following her trail from the Detainment Facility in Giza Base. My reason for this is simple.

I needed to know the cure for the poison that had at one point was in Yuki Hideyoshi's body. I used extreme methods against Kelly Hellion, and that ended in a fight between us within the Tombstone Prototype Graveyard. This being me, I ended up crashing the Graveyard on Akabat. At the time Hellion escaped while I was unconscious, which was when I had the Kusanagi lock down the planet, to avoid Hellion escaping. The files I managed to save from the Tombstone I did not like. Poisons, weapons...I did not like any of it. And as such, I launched a manhunt of Kelly Hellion,

This ended when I hunted her down at Wedjat Facility JORDANA. She tripped the automatic security and nearly got herself killed, which led myself and the Marine detachment I was with. I detained her and infiltrated the facility, where I brought it, and what I found as the Lyoko Datacore, under my control. I also took the liberty of shutting down the XANA AI core for good.

Kelly Hellion, as well as Aelita Stone's daughter, Rose, are being held within the HADES RAZGRIZ Facility under Razgriz Straits.

I take full responsibility for the loss of the Graveyard, the assault on Hellion, and once I accessed the Horus Database on the Shipyard, I withdrew the remainder of Hellion's files.

There are many things that Hellion has done. And many things that have been covered up. I will disclose the full extent of what has happened in private, Admirals.

The list of her transgressions are beyond even the reason I am called Defcon.


I guess you will enjoy the read, Inquisitor Kunieda.


Colonel Hunter, Out.

As of 00:00 Mu Standard Time I have recalled Inquisitor Hellion back to Facility TAWERET. As many of you probably know, we've had her undergoing a conditioning regime ever since the destruction of the Graveyard. We hoped we would not have to go further, but due to recent events we we are worried that the conditioning could break. These conditions have something to do with the current assignment of Captain Tantalus and a growth of violent tendencies that were present pre-conditioning, as seen with the utter destruction of Osbrone Academy's bar.

I will keep Overwatch informed of the status of Hellion and the progress TAWERET has with it's studies into psychological warfare. Doctor Glasier informs me he might have a therapy regime that could help combat indoctrination, but until we have someone we can actually test it on, we only have theories.

That will be all.

I am re-assigning the Atum-Ra to Inverness to stay out of trouble at the current time, and as such would like to request Liara Grey or one of her best to deployed to take over the intelligence detachment assigned to Battlegroup Gallant Dawn.

Beyond that, Facility TAWERET has informed me that the regime Hellion has been undergoing is almost complete and we will be able to deploy her once again. The same procedure used on Vizier Wing has been tweaked. I do hope soon we will be able to adjust this regime to combat the brainwashing our small number of Core prisoners are theorized to have been through. At the very least, we can stop them from being rabid.

That will be all.

It has been some time since requested to the front. The Amunet is undergowing final preparations as I am sending this message and will depart the Omicrons shortly to join you in Liberty.

For the time being however, unfinished business will have me rooted to Bretonia a few days further. Agent Morigan will act as my replacement as XO of the Amunet. I will join you as soon as I can.

I have been in contact with a "Geneviève Marie Mercier" who wanted information on the Proteus Tome. Choosing my winning personality over cold denial, I have been handed what is probably one of the most...dangerous bits of information I have found while working within Liberty and Bretonia. The transcript of Mercier's transmission is below.

Very informative, Signor. I suppose that, in the end, we're all the same when it comes to chasing what we devoted ourselves to. A bit of eccentricism on your part is 'ardly something I can blame you for, and it's likely just my blasé nature at this point that I find it a little yawn-inducing to listen to long exposés about nothing. Still, you are ruthless, and that does behoove you more than anyone else I could name. I more often than not considered whether I should consult professional help, because I find myself enjoying people trying to metaphorically gouge each other's eyes out in their little power games. Then again, that would be effort, and I really can't be assed to put some into this.

You want a name? I believe the attached data will be more than enough for you to work with. It should be instantly recognized, too. After all, 'e is one of the most wanted men in the colonies. Do with this as you please.

Blessings, young one.

With experience, comes wisdom.
With wisdom, comes knowledge.
With knowledge, comes understanding.

The path is laid out before you. To walk the steps of the Four Tenants, you need a mission which will serve as your Guiding Light. The Exarchy has meditated on one.

Head to the House of Liberty. There is turmoil there, a sinister war and a civil war simultaneously. With their Intelligence Agency occupied in their internal fight, their defence grid is nonexistant. Slip through their net and speak to the civilians, to the populace. Your mission is to convert one of them to the Church.


May the Four Tenants light your path, Cultist.

This must be handled delicately. These transmission seem...extremely authentic. I do not wish to jump into any battles I don't wish to, but...well. If these are iin facttrue...if one of our enemies are this close to us...Then we must act. I do not wish to risk relations with the Lane Hackers, but if we must...then I suggest we make sure we do it right the first time.

I will begin preparations and reconnaissance operations at once.

Grand Admiral....Michal.

If this is true...then the Lane Hacker's willingness to be tested for Nomads....as long as they were below many of those we talk too... Jeremy pauses. What I am trying to say, Michal.

If Yoshida is part of the Cult of Sirius...the Oracles...than I fear what else could be lurking in the upper echelons of the Lane Hackers. We may have an anomaly; we may be seeing another Rheinland happen. As such, I need immediate support deployed to Coronado. Whatever can be spared from the Minor Defense Line, from Mu and Epsilon. Even if it's just ships - I will find pilots. I do not wish to use them...but I cannot shake the feeling this is just one part of the hornet's nest, a whole different nest from the one we dived into in Drake.

Once the RV-Cleopatra returns from extended duty in Bretonia, I will redeploy it to assist Ghost Eye. We have shown the Lane Hackers much trust. I think it's time we started gathering...insurance.
