I give thanks for the chance to be given the role of Warden. It is a great gift that has been bestowed upon me and I shall cherish it greatly.
However the situation in Bering continues. During a patrol we encountered the Lord of the Rose, an activist of the Die Weiße Rose by the name of Silke Fuchs by displayed ship transponder. We spoke at length about feeling towards Unioners and lawns, and how they was not referring to a lawn I apparently do not own. However. It was requested that I relay a notion of assisting them with a situation they control in the Munich System. Through his words, it was explained that the system was being engulfed by a dark matter storm and evacuation efforts on a major planet in the system was being ignored by the Rheinland Government. It was requested that we consider assisiting with refugee efforts to move people off the planet, as well as delivery of pharmaceuticals. If we are able or interested in assisting their cause, they wish we contact them.
I shall attach a log of our conversation. Merlin padding out.

[23.05.2019 06:06:38] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::Huh. Just a fighter.::
[23.05.2019 06:06:47] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Silke: I am capable of human speech, you know.
[23.05.2019 06:06:51] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Silke: You could just ask.
[23.05.2019 06:07:16] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::Asking anything from a Rheinlander causes snark. I wish to avoid that.::
[23.05.2019 06:07:42] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Silke: I am not just your general Rheinlander, and of course, i'd want you not to put me in-
[23.05.2019 06:07:48] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: -one line with the Union.
[23.05.2019 06:08:09] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::I would not do such.::
[23.05.2019 06:08:18] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Appreciated.
[23.05.2019 06:08:39] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Still... Auxesia in Bering.
[23.05.2019 06:08:47] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::Correct.::
[23.05.2019 06:08:53] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: That is usually a rare sight.
[23.05.2019 06:09:01] Terracon: <:: Compliments delivered: System - "Lights" - appealing. ::>
[23.05.2019 06:09:04] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: As well as the cloud from the Nuclear EMP warhead.
[23.05.2019 06:09:50] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::Correct. It is a new experience for me to see.::
[23.05.2019 06:10:00] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Care to give me a little insight for what happened?
[23.05.2019 06:10:22] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Two sights you don't see every day leave me honestly confused.
[23.05.2019 06:10:38] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::It was hit by a warhead. And now has a electromagnetic storm of some type.::
[23.05.2019 06:11:28] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: I mean - why? According to stellar database on that ships - the cloud is right at the spot where Pacifica is.
[23.05.2019 06:11:47] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Have Unioners made you upset enough to use a weapon of mass destruction?
[23.05.2019 06:12:11] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::The warhead was launched at Pacifica, correct.::
[23.05.2019 06:12:28] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::Negative. I did not launch a weapon at it to cause this.::
[23.05.2019 06:12:46] Terracon: <:: Set Protocol: Hold position or guard area. ::>
[23.05.2019 06:12:52] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Someone else did, right.
[23.05.2019 06:13:14] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: I suppose i shouldn't expect a straight and honest answer to the second part of my question.
[23.05.2019 06:13:23] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: As you have left it... unattended until now.
[23.05.2019 06:13:32] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::Which was this?::
[23.05.2019 06:13:55] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Why have Auxesia launched a nuclear warhead at Pacifica?
[23.05.2019 06:14:17] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::It was not done by an Auxesian vessel.::
[23.05.2019 06:14:41] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: It doesn't matter who have done this.
[23.05.2019 06:14:47] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: The motives matter.
[23.05.2019 06:15:09] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: I do not support The Union in anyway. Neither does my movement.
[23.05.2019 06:15:22] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::I believe it is due similar feelings.::
[23.05.2019 06:16:29] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::Unioners are disgusting backwater hooligans who float off the work of others. I dislike them. I have since I entered-
[23.05.2019 06:16:31] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: Liberty.::
[23.05.2019 06:16:36] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: A nuclear warhead isn't exactly a method you'd lean to when dealing with your everyday adversaries-
[23.05.2019 06:16:41] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: -at your lawn.
[23.05.2019 06:16:51] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::I do not own a lawn.::
[23.05.2019 06:17:03] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Figuratively speaking.
[23.05.2019 06:17:27] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::I do not own a figurative lawn.::
[23.05.2019 06:18:01] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: *Sighs* ...dummy.
[23.05.2019 06:18:16] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::I am not a dummy.::
[23.05.2019 06:18:40] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Then don't take figurative speech that straightforward.
[23.05.2019 06:19:18] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::That is something I am still learning. I come from a very strict culture.::
[23.05.2019 06:19:34] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::But, I just wish to confirm I do not have a lawn.::
[23.05.2019 06:19:48] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: I... understood.
[23.05.2019 06:19:57] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: I did not imply you own a lawn.
[23.05.2019 06:20:06] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::I see. Understood.::
[23.05.2019 06:20:42] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: What i implied that Auxesia have leaned to irregular measures to deal with regular vermins.
[23.05.2019 06:20:57] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::[VERMIN]?::
[23.05.2019 06:21:07] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Yes, vermins. The Unioners.
[23.05.2019 06:21:16] Terracon: <:: Set protocol: Improvise. Adapt. Overcome. ::>
[23.05.2019 06:21:24] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::Oh. I see. Not literal [VERMIN].::
[23.05.2019 06:21:46] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Correct. Figuratively speaking - Unioners are vermins.
[23.05.2019 06:22:16] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::I see. They are play things to be hunted for sport in your eyes. Understood.::
[23.05.2019 06:23:12] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Yes, they are.
[23.05.2019 06:23:25] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::I enjoy doing similar.::
[23.05.2019 06:23:59] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Then we are colleagues of a sort.
[23.05.2019 06:24:37] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: :: Perhaps so.::
[23.05.2019 06:24:51] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Well, we're hunting our prey.
[23.05.2019 06:25:00] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: That sounds about right.
[23.05.2019 06:25:31] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::Correct. Unioners have become prey. Their figurative [RAT HOLE] has been ruined. It causes them to scramble.::
[23.05.2019 06:26:04] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: But they are doing something to bring it back to shape, aren't they?
[23.05.2019 06:26:38] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::Correct. Contacts of various organizations to bring repair materials.::
[23.05.2019 06:26:52] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::We operate to intercept.::
[23.05.2019 06:27:14] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: I see.
[23.05.2019 06:28:19] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: :: Did you wish to communicate anything to us? I can forward a message.::
[23.05.2019 06:29:24] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Now... i honestly doubt it is a tenable option.
[23.05.2019 06:29:36] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::What is not?::
[23.05.2019 06:29:46] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: I don't think we really need any agreements to turn our guns on Unioners from time to time.
[23.05.2019 06:30:31] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::Not suggesting such. However if there is a desire to speak to us for any reason, I can relay a message.::
[23.05.2019 06:30:54] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::As well as forwarding to coordinate patrols and raids.::
[23.05.2019 06:31:12] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: I just... can't imagine anything The Rose would've had to do with your Covenant.
[23.05.2019 06:31:26] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::Understood.::
[23.05.2019 06:31:40] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Except, perhaps, you'd want to put in some efforts into Nuremberg evacuation.
[23.05.2019 06:31:52] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: As well as bringing in supplies that are in high demand.
[23.05.2019 06:31:59] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Pharmaceuticals, mostly.
[23.05.2019 06:32:06] Terracon: <:: Inquiry for evacuation? ::>
[23.05.2019 06:32:15] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::Nuremberg evacuation. Pharmaceuticals. Please elaborate.::
[23.05.2019 06:32:42] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Munich system is steadily consumed by Dark Matter storm.
[23.05.2019 06:32:59] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Bundestag is not concerned, and does nothing to help the citizens of Nuremberg.
[23.05.2019 06:33:04] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Unlike us.
[23.05.2019 06:33:43] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::Understood. Dire situation that is ignored by Rheinland's core government.::
[23.05.2019 06:33:54] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: That's the essence of it.
[23.05.2019 06:34:15] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Our cell is maintaining constant evacuation effort.
[23.05.2019 06:34:26] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::I shall forward this situation to the Lords and Ladies. If there is interest a message shall be sent to you.::
[23.05.2019 06:34:50] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Very well. You might address me directly or direct it to the Oberkommando.
[23.05.2019 06:34:55] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: The result shall be the same.
[23.05.2019 06:35:03] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::Understood.::
[23.05.2019 06:35:56] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Let us know if the evacuation initiative passes.
[23.05.2019 06:36:08] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::A message shall be sent if so.::
[23.05.2019 06:36:14] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: We'll figure something out to hold off the deviants like Unioners off the convoys.
[23.05.2019 06:36:31] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::Is there anything else wished to be relayed?::
[23.05.2019 06:36:45] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: No. That is all.
[23.05.2019 06:36:54] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::Understood. We are required to continue operating the blockade and patrolling.::
[23.05.2019 06:37:08] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::We shall continue with this task and seperate here.::
[23.05.2019 06:37:13] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Got it. Good luck in your efforts.
[23.05.2019 06:37:23] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::As with you, Lord of the Rose.::
[23.05.2019 06:37:40] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Nein. I am just an Aktivist.
[23.05.2019 06:38:18] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: I assume you will not be against my photography detour?
[23.05.2019 06:38:35] A/)-ACV-Tefnut: M: ::Negative. Take your pictographs.::
As part of my first flight, I've had the luck to encounter a pilot that was mentioned before. Silke Fuchs, a member of the Bundschuh, was spotted at Freeport Two and we've had a conversation about a few topics that may or may not be of interest.
Furthermore, when patrolling the Texas Jump-Gate to prevent any incoming transports from delivering goods to Pacifica, I spotted an installation that is unknown to me. Finding it won't be an issue, as it is right next to the Jump-Gate. Visual evidence will be provided in the attachments.
[24.05.2019 11:50:14] A/)-Sethlans: Greetings.
[24.05.2019 11:51:31] A/)-Sethlans: *scratches head* What's a Bundschuh Pilot doing in Bering?
[24.05.2019 11:52:07] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Sightseeing. Occassionally shooting some dummies.
[24.05.2019 11:52:09] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: The usual.
[24.05.2019 11:52:35] A/)-Sethlans: Aren't the dummies you're shooting also around in Rheinland?
[24.05.2019 11:52:56] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: You've got any objections against my presence?
[24.05.2019 11:53:00] A/)-Sethlans: No.
[24.05.2019 11:53:10] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Well, i mean, they happen to be there. But i haven't seen them around Rheinland for a while.
[24.05.2019 11:53:12] A/)-Sethlans: I'm just a curious person, nothing else.
[24.05.2019 11:53:20] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Presumably, they are pre-occupied there.
[24.05.2019 11:53:31] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: By your comrades in arms.
[24.05.2019 11:53:54] A/)-Sethlans: I've only heard rumors so far. I haven't visited the battlefield myself yet.
[24.05.2019 11:54:21] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: I've even briefly took a part in one of the combats.
[24.05.2019 11:54:30] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Caught the Unioners by surprise.
[24.05.2019 11:54:30] A/)-Sethlans: Oh?
[24.05.2019 11:54:45] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: They expected me not to shoot them.
[24.05.2019 11:54:58] A/)-Sethlans: I suppose that expectation is gone, now.
[24.05.2019 11:55:18] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: I'd prefer to have them in that delusional expectation.
[24.05.2019 11:55:36] A/)-Sethlans: Maybe shooting them immediatly wasn't a wise choice in that case.
[24.05.2019 11:55:48] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: As it's usually getting replaced with some nuisance and meaningless blabbering.
[24.05.2019 11:56:13] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Don't get this wrong - we've been opposing them since the first days of the cell's existence.
[24.05.2019 11:56:37] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Whoever claims otherwise - is not exactly honest. Or sane, if you wish.
[24.05.2019 11:57:12] A/)-Sethlans: Oh, that's interesting.
[24.05.2019 11:57:24] A/)-Sethlans: Out of curiosity - do you think there are any liars within your movement?
[24.05.2019 11:57:49] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Nein.
[24.05.2019 11:58:10] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: We're honest in anything we say. We give people the view of things in their homes.
[24.05.2019 11:58:19] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: And letting them to decide what to do about it.
[24.05.2019 11:58:21] A/)-Sethlans: I expected no less.
[24.05.2019 11:58:24] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: If do anything at all.
[24.05.2019 11:59:20] A/)-Sethlans: My apologies for not knowing what the Bundschuh think of themselves. I've not been outside a whole lot yet.
[24.05.2019 11:59:56] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: No need to apologise. It is common to learn through all our life.
[24.05.2019 12:00:12] A/)-Sethlans: It would be boring if that wasn't the case.
[24.05.2019 12:00:20] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Whoever claims he knows everything - is, in fact, limited, and is forever stuck in stagnation.
[24.05.2019 12:00:55] A/)-Sethlans: That's indeed true.
[24.05.2019 12:01:07] A/)-Sethlans: A formidable mindset that you've got, if I may say so.
[24.05.2019 12:01:26] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: I appreciate the compliment.
[24.05.2019 12:01:40] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: It is developed through hard work and formidable education.
[24.05.2019 12:02:23] A/)-Sethlans: Hard work?
[24.05.2019 12:03:04] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Education alone is not enough to shape it. The one that comes from colleges or institutes.
[24.05.2019 12:03:21] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: They are, after all, trying to shape obedient citizens from the youth.
[24.05.2019 12:03:27] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: And that's not what i wanted to be.
[24.05.2019 12:03:45] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: It all started with desire, progressed into self-improvement.
[24.05.2019 12:04:11] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: That's pretty much the reason why, all of things, i have leaned towards Bundschuh.
[24.05.2019 12:04:18] A/)-Sethlans: While I don't know much about Rheinland's educationary systems.. *in a confused tone* Is it that bad?
[24.05.2019 12:04:58] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: It is the case not only in Rheinland. Pretty much every House includes a degree of propaganda into-
[24.05.2019 12:05:11] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: -their educationary courses.
[24.05.2019 12:05:29] A/)-Sethlans: Oh, I wholeheardetly agree with that. But that mustn't be a bad thing.
[24.05.2019 12:05:39] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: The amount of it depends on the amount of funding and the governmental structury.
[24.05.2019 12:06:13] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Well, it's not bad if a person is capable of using a brain and filter the incoming information flow.
[24.05.2019 12:06:14] A/)-Sethlans: Having young people learn about their own home - alongside other students, all while developing a sense of love for their home
[24.05.2019 12:06:22] A/)-Sethlans: Is nothing bad.
[24.05.2019 12:06:45] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Patriotism and obedience are a tad different.
[24.05.2019 12:06:53] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: I can call myself a patriot.
[24.05.2019 12:07:26] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: I am in Bundschuh to help my House and it's people, not the Bundestag, that is sunk in internal-
[24.05.2019 12:07:35] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: -and external corporate interests.
[24.05.2019 12:08:00] A/)-Sethlans: But at the same time - do you not obey the orders that you're given?
[24.05.2019 12:08:32] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: I obey the orders from a person whose mind is somewhat similiar to mine.
[24.05.2019 12:08:41] A/)-Sethlans: So you are obident, just as they are.
[24.05.2019 12:08:47] A/)-Sethlans: But the source differs.
[24.05.2019 12:09:02] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Right. The source differs. So does the end result.
[24.05.2019 12:09:17] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Within Bundschuh, my efforts are directed towards the actual good.
[24.05.2019 12:09:29] A/)-Sethlans: Without obidence, I personally believe any society would eventually fall apart.
[24.05.2019 12:09:46] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Evacuation efforts of Munich, for example. Lowering the influence of Synth Foods at Stuttgart.
[24.05.2019 12:09:58] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Well, that's not exactly wrong.
[24.05.2019 12:10:09] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Some say that anarchy is a mother of order.
[24.05.2019 12:10:16] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: They are wrong either.
[24.05.2019 12:10:41] A/)-Sethlans: I don't judge right or wrong.
[24.05.2019 12:10:51] A/)-Sethlans: What matters is if its useful, to me.
[24.05.2019 12:10:56] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: As much wrong as those who turn their people into mindless slaves and cover it up with the layers of laws.
[24.05.2019 12:11:59] A/)-Sethlans: Wether they treat their people right or not is nothing I can personally say. Each individual has their own mind -
[24.05.2019 12:12:08] A/)-Sethlans: at least to an extent. They can decide if they want to work there or not, right?
[24.05.2019 12:12:19] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Right.
[24.05.2019 12:12:37] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: But most of the citizens just follow the flow, hoping to live to see the other day.
[24.05.2019 12:12:52] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Expecting the changes to come rather than do something to make them come.
[24.05.2019 12:13:24] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: In Rheinland, 85% of citizens are just sitting there, waiting for the changes to come.
[24.05.2019 12:13:27] A/)-Sethlans: Excuse me for a second.
[24.05.2019 12:13:37] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Right. Be careful next time.
[24.05.2019 12:14:16] A/)-Sethlans: Oh its fine. Zoners understand.
[24.05.2019 12:15:20] A/)-Sethlans: I'm really not used to weapons just yet.
[24.05.2019 12:15:31] A/)-Sethlans: Missing shots everywhere.. sometimes hurting the wrong people.
[24.05.2019 12:15:44] Death: Keith_Andersson was put out of action by GG-A-Venom (Gun).
[24.05.2019 12:15:52] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: That must be inconvenient.
[24.05.2019 12:16:09] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Make sure to, uh... be a quicklearner, i gues?
[24.05.2019 12:16:21] A/)-Sethlans: Hopefully!
[24.05.2019 12:16:30] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: That's the spirit.
[24.05.2019 12:16:45] GG-W-Vitex: G'day folks.

[24.05.2019 12:17:10] A/)-Sethlans: Just fine.
[24.05.2019 12:18:13] GG-W-Vitex: I hope for that it stays that way. Nobody wants to you ruin your day in any way. That I am pretty sure of. After all you don't
[24.05.2019 12:18:23] GG-W-Vitex: harm anyone with your existance
[24.05.2019 12:18:42] A/)-Sethlans: Trying to achieve quite the opposite, yea.
[24.05.2019 12:19:14] GG-W-Vitex: Well I won't disrupt your peace and silence here any longer
[24.05.2019 12:19:20] A/)-Sethlans: What a shame.
[24.05.2019 12:19:54] GG-W-Vitex: So until we meet again
[24.05.2019 12:20:00] A/)-Sethlans: Until then.
[24.05.2019 12:20:20] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: What those... eco-terrorists could possibly do in Bering?
[24.05.2019 12:20:30] A/)-Sethlans: That's beyond me.
[24.05.2019 12:21:29] DWR|A-Silke.Fuchs: Good luck.

[24.05.2019 12:21:43] A/)-Sethlans: *Excited* I've never seen them in space!
Operation: Babylon is code Sunset. All hunting and collection assets are to report in and return to Hardpoint Zero.
Following it, we launched a test flight into the Omicrons and levied aid to the local defensive elements in combating virome elements and Maltese combat ships. Achlys Control directly confronted the Maltese warship following an exchange of fire and harassment of lighter assets. We maintained line of sight updates on the hostile Order vessels that were already engaged when we arrived, yet they withdrew following the amputation of the Maltese vessel. All hostiles otherwise successfully pacified.
The Inner Phalanx gave confirmation to launch an expedition for analysis and recovery in the Omicrons. Expeditionary vessel Glaring was dispatched with escorts into deep space, under code Overcast and ROE Negative. The Core intercepted the expedition just after it was completed, and elements issued Code Black. The Glaring did not escape. The tangos pursued our operatives back into Covenant territory, even going so far as to deploy a large asset - an AP-604 "Mako". The Achlys was deployed to counter it, and despite a strategic failure on the Hoplite's part to maintain a disruption solution of the hostile war vessel, we inevitably were successful at removing the threat. The location has been marked for component recovery.
We later received a distress signal from the automated systems on board the Glaring, and I personally took command of the rescue operation with the same orders.
The Second Meros dispatched in small numbers via hyperspace into Omicron Delta, with Achlys one-one taking its place as active field control, the Cepheus assuming support duty and Guadalcanal as interdiction and harassment. Priority was extraction, yet we encountered several locals which were at risk of being exposed to hazardous materials - Azurite. Further investigating this operation we uncovered a small contingent of Core vessels. The ship responsible for the gas extraction decided it was better off ending its own life, and the AP-604 "Mako" attempted to engage its cloak and flee. Though its helmsman must've made a course error, as they flew directly into the Second Meros in its entirety, coming face to face with the Achlys. It buckled and crumbled due to the overwhelming firepower brought on by its tactical error.
This however meant we were now exposed, and time was of the essence. We proceeded directly into Minor and established Hardpoint Delta, under communications protocol Midnight until Status Red came into effect. We proceeded to follow the beacon data until the Glaring was uncovered, and Cepheus conducted field repairs and rescue of its crew. They were relocated to the Achlys immediately for treatment and intensive care until exfil to Hardpoint Zero could be accomplished. The Core had arrived during the rescue process, and thus we needed to change strategies. The Glaring has been left behind in the care of the local Junkers, and it's advised we mention this when contacting them about the results of Operation: Bermuda.
The crew of the Glaring have since been transferred to the Citadel for proper medical care.

Ourghos Saladin, reporting addendum to the Strategos' file on the Minor operation.
During the mission to rescue the expedition vessel Glaring, we came across two transports in Delta. One vessel was empty, intercepted by the Cepheus. The vessel the Guadalcanal intercepted, a Samura-operated GMG-built Kujira, was spotted hauling nomadic materials, namely Azurite Gas. The vessel refused to respond to hails and docked aboard Kemmerer Supply Station, a small outpost in Delta outside the Freeport. On behalf of the Armed Mandate I request that the Inner Phalanx investigate this operation and the owners of the station.
Following up to my prior report, the Guadalcanal has finished weapons testing and is now fully operational. Loadout has been selected both on closed testing with the hull itself and prior doctrine from the Navy, therefore suggesting a mixed loadout of heavy CIWS to force off snubcraft, and long-range anti-capital torpedoes for operational support of our heavy assets in-field. Further field testing may elucidate changes. Reports on the vessel's effectiveness in-field to follow.
Wardens Graham, DeMatha, Zozen and Zitronburg have exceeded the expectations of the Inner Phalanx for their service and have moved on to the general rank of Guardian. Refer to your Division for appropriate rank identification. For those in service to the Militant Intervention Branch, you now hold the title of Tetrarch.
Initiate Steffens has succeeded in overcoming the obstacles expected of an Initiate, and provided invaluable information to the Covenant. Congratulations on your promotion to Warden. Choose your division wisely.
First of all, I am grateful for a promotion. This is huge pleasure to be working with you and this is straight-up ecstatic to see, that all of my work is paying off.
Secondly, I am contacting everyone reading this. Prepare your heavy-duty transport ships and be ready to engage in a supply runs. I will give more information about that in a future.
Last thing. My current base of operations and by extension my personal ship - SV Erinyes, is going to be replaced soon. I am asking for a permission to contact some respectable ship-building company, I suggest the Renzu, to provide us with a new liner-class ship which is going to be refitted into a mobile laboratory. Erinyes right now is not capable of a being 'a ship' and I, with all seriousness, doubt it can even properly boot-up her cruise engines. I suggest integrating this ship into a existing station mainframe, as it is still very valuable piece of research technology. You know, it has state-of-an-art synchrotron and weapon laboratories. I am waiting for your response.
P.S: Week ago was my 70th birthday. If I had blowout-thingie right now, I would blow in it, but I don't have one. So just imagine that you hear this awful noise. Anyway, back to work.
Ludwig, as you've been informed already, you are permitted to enact as necessary to progress your work as long as you keep in touch with us and send in your work progress and financial reports. On another personal note, you'll find a discount voucher in your mail -- take some time to enjoy yourself with some friends. Happy birthday.
Also, it should be noted that some personnel are expected to work on the more imperative internal sector sensor grid for a few weeks, expect some people dragged aside. It shouldn't take /too/ long to set up, we hope.
As requested, I flew my way to the designated "Laptev" system on the Hierophant, the nimble ship provided to us by the brave agent who flew his way from the far reaches of the Omicrons back to Valravn. Finding the Jumphole per se was a remarkable nuisance, due to the fact that it's located next to a literal minefield. A short deviation MUST be taken if you wish to avoid a scorching end. Moving on, once I jumped from the hole in Bering, I found myself in... quite the unexpected detour.
I deployed the only probe I had at my disposal. Initial scans indicate that the system per se is devoid of any life forms. I traced it back to the large nebula at the far end of the system but to no avail. It seems that there is a high concentration of electromagnetic molecules, which seem particularly keen on pushing away any small to medium-sized device within its range. Not even my Ship's scanners were able to penetrate the field. What my sensors noticed, however, was a smaller gas planet, whose consistency and gases resembled the ones of the larger one located at the edge of the Tanner asteroid field. Nothing particularly remarkable showed up on my scanners afterward, except for one empty, ancient ship wreckage who has been in the orbit of the system's dim star for roughly two centuries, give or take. I can conclude, however, that the lack of human presence makes the place quite suitable for weaponry of any kind. While my initial scanners weren't able to penetrate neither of the planets' surfaces, I suggest we send a second expedition to analyze them, perhaps some valuable gases lie within the atmospheres.
All in all, I strongly advise sending a second expedition in order to give a closer look at the nebula. Despite that, I have to say that it's far off from our closest base of operations, and the minefield near the entrance could easily kill any unprepared smaller reconnaissance craft.
It appears that the recent weeks have been quite eventful in the north of the Bretonian front, and those events have had all the chances of slipping past us - no one was too eager to tell us what is going on in the southmost Tau system. Following the "decisive victory" in Cortez and the destruction of battleship Betheny, the allies have found confidence, and conducted an attack on gallic supply chain. Their target was the New Tours Watch station, that was constructed as a logistical hub in Holman Outpost junction.
Much to my surprise, the anti-gallic Coalition have succeeded in their assault, and the station have fell under control of the Crayterian forces. Carrier Hades, that, apparently, have been bidding her time in Tau-31 Barrier field, is now holding it's position in the junction.
On a side note, Gallic logistical traffic have steadily increased over the course of the past days, with most of them heading to Leeds. It appears that the facility of Stokes have been their final destination and they have been carrying some sort of repair parts, the exact reason behind this, however, remained unknown, but i suspect Leeds planetside resistance is the reason for the disruption of stability of Gallic grasp over the system, and the increase in logistical traffic to be a hasty attempt to resolve the caused issue. A cooperative individual, local Hunter, have agreed to provide me with the visual data on the cargo the Gallic transports were carrying. Transmission access.
In addition to the survey Daniels have performed, i would like to outline one detail he have missed in his report - entrance points in Bering and Galileo respectively, as well as the presence of RES Dallman, that appears to be an exploration vessel of Rheinland origin. Though, i agree with a suggestion of sending another expedition to the system, as it might have more than just dead rocks and metal within it. Laptev visual data.
That's all for now.
Peace, being the distant dream it is, comes inevitably, and goes hand in hand with justice.
Cursed be the war.
