I doubt you've longed for my presence, let alone this message. But we did come to an agreement in Shikoku. That agreement involved a set of proofs that justified the hit. You don't strike me for a person that forgets.

I don't forget, I just get preoccupied.

Here's what you asked for, and don't try to transfer access to anyone, it'll wipe the data if you do. The Order and their precautions, you probably understand the drill by now.

This is...hm. I don't quite have words to describe what I'm feeling right now. Annoying as that may be, we need to talk. Bring no one but yourself.

Of course, unless you're preoccupied with something else. Same place.

Cobra.

Don't mind me getting straight to the point, but I've got this question that does leave an itch. You've been witnessing Kepler's "evolution" for a good while now, right?

Did you ever notice some badges prodding it from time to time? Or maybe biting their time by Ames. I'm talking about some MND Agents that just can't stop shoving their hands into the cookie jar.

Straight to the point he says before telling me nothing.

Look, if this is you trying to tell me that the MND is snooping around in Kepler, and on the complete opposite end of the border where they ought to be - then spit it out.

I had enough freeroam hypotheticals from Frei for one lifetime.

Cobra.

It took you an awful lot of time to reply, but yeah. That's pretty much what I meant. I've had time to investigate in the meantime.

Tell your people to be very careful when roaming the halls of Ames Research Station. I've confirmed Nomad activity aboard. Thralls, to be precise. Those MND Agents weren't truly who they seemed to be.

...right, Vincent sends his regards.

Hey Damien.

So how are things? Its odd seeing technocrat forces having a go at Liberty's core systems like this.

Is everything alright on the front?

The front is holding strong.

No surprise there because no attempt to dislodge our contingents across any system is being made at the present. These sporadic raids by the Technocrats are a sudden change in MO after years of silence and we have a working theory on why they've decided to interfere.

It seems as if the Technocracy is trying to prop up a detachment of former Insurgents. We assume this is the case from the presence of callsign "Blackjack" during the most recent engagement in Colorado. Per our records that would be "A. West," former Commanding Officer of the Insurgency at the time of its collapse. Somewhat ironic they would want one of the people at the helm of things when it all came crashing down to be part of a new effort aimed at resurgence, but political intuition was never a hallmark of the regime in Inverness.

Whatever ambitions they might have will be humbled - again.

Sounds good. Well, if they want to drop more corpses at Liberty's door then let them. Either their own or their newfound Insurgent friends. It makes no difference in the end.

I hope you don't mind me coming by every now and then to help out with the cleanup - as long as the technicians on Fort Ramsey tolerate my presence. I'm seeing a lot of concerned eyes in the workshop which are entirely justified. You know...with our past history and all that.

With that out of the way. I don't suppose I can dare to ask you for a favor, can I? The material kind right now. I'm looking to force a change in the Technocracy's leadership. Again.

Hard not to laugh.

Why should this concern me? Killing them is easy enough. Toppling a dictator and forcing the ignorant masses to see the light of Liberty is a challenging ordeal. And without significant incentive I truly see no reason to even consider this let alone actually take steps towards it.

Let's also address the elephant in the room. What makes you think any change in leadership would matter or even last? Outside of a total occupation to ensure they don't regress back into technological barbarism there's no guarantees.

Give me something to work with here.
