Mister Yasu,
Your hypothesis on a potential connection between the Sudbury anomaly, the Coronado system, and the Nomad attacks in Omicron Zeta is certainly worth investigating further. As such, command has granted you read-only access to a reconnaissance report on two points of interest in the Coronado system. Our findings, while only surface level, may be of interest to you. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to follow up on the initial report, but, with additional manpower and resources provided by the 34th, that is hopefully soon to change.

I've been designate as the point of contact for coordination between the Alliance Militia and your forces for the duration of your stay in Ontario. We appreciate your assistance but must caution you against attracting any undue attention towards Fort Ramsey or disclosing any confidential information pertaining to it or our capabilities.
But I am sure someone of your experience and background understands the importance of operational security and that I don't need to spell it out for you.
Let us know what you need from us, but keep in mind that our force projection is limited given extensive commitments toward securing Sudbury's local orbit. A policy of wartime readiness is also straining our availability of resources and equipment to the absolute limit.
Our ability to assist your operations would be greatly enhanced by the mitigation or resolution of any of these two major issues.
Sender:Koji Yasu Recipient:Adjutant J. Royce Subject:Upcoming work
Konnichiwa J. Royce.
Yeah, we really don't know each other. My name is Koji Yasu, and I am a senior scientist with the 34th Brigade, and I take responsibility for our operations in Ontario.
Captain Emrys Belmont has already notified me of the situation in Ontario, and I appreciate your additional information concerning Fort Ramsey. Indeed, maintaining the information security of your station in this system is no less a priority than researching the planet itself and its nature of operation. At this time, we have no plans to ask Liberty Free Republic about moving our forces to your station, which could attract unnecessary attention. All operations will be conducted from aboard the battleship Atum.
All we need from you is to maintain a defensive perimeter around the planet Sudbury, and to actively participate in the above mentioned combat operations. Since you are interested in suppressing any aggressive actions against the planet, as well as maintaining your own sovereignty in the system, we are, in fact, working in a mutually beneficial interest. Our agents will be taking part in combat sorties any day now, so we'll be standing as one.
Also, we are planning to move several of the Brigade's ships into Ontario space to increase our own combat effectiveness in that system. Along with those ships, I have made a request to send two medium transport ships to support your men on the Ramsey and ours on the battleship Atum. We already know your needs, so we plan to transfer 3900 units of Kemwer Technologies and 1100 Pharmaceuticals supplies to you. For now most effective and safe route for us is Rheinland corridor to Bering system, as we did it before when moved our ships first time. If this would pose a security risk to your station, I am open to your suggestions on the safest corridor to use.

Guten tag.
According to the mission objectives, myself and the Monolith agent who arrived in the system twenty-four hours ago have taken on a part of the mission to search and destroy the LSF attackers engaged in consolidating Liberty's influence in the system.
Since we relied on intelligence, the search took a long time, but it paid off. Our first engagement was an encounter in square E2, where we came face to face with an LSF privateer group orbiting the planet Sudbury. Due to the size of the ships and the lack of any research vessels, these agents acted more like a small raiding party of a few links. During a lengthy battle, all enemy units were destroyed.
A few hours later, we made another sortie, this time against an interdiction group that was orbiting Toronto Wreck. According to intelligence, this group was searching for Liberty Free Republic logistics convoys. Once we located the enemy forces, we engaged them, allowing our units nearby to support us and break up the enemy forces.
Once the combat operations were over, we returned to Battleship Atum to refuel, repair and maintain our ships. The presence of pilots of individual units of any enemy side was not detected. I think it's only a matter of time before they take notice of us.

Sender:Koji Yasu Recipient:Adjutant J. Royce & Captain Emrys Belmont Subject:Supply & assets transfer operation
Konnichiwa.
Not long ago, I made a request to Section 8 for the possibility of bringing needed supplies to the Ontario system to support the Liberty Free Republic forces and the crew of the Battleship Atum. Since the convoy was supposed to move out yesterday, I hasten to inform you that the delay was caused by extremely high activity of Nomad forces in Omicron space, as well as increased activity of our enemies in Omicron Kappa space. In particular, we are referring to the recent battles in Gammu planet orbit, which will reverberate for many months to come.
The details of the operation were as follows: as the Brigade considered moving additional forces into the Ontario system, the decision was made to take advantage of the situation to provide a convoy for two transports traveling into Liberty Free Republic space to support our forces and those of our allies. After a short time, we decided on a formation and the convoy departed the planet Akabat, traveling through Rheinland space straight into Liberty Republic space.
Visual-report from OCV-Wayfarer: "Convoy movement in the Omicron Theta system", March 18, 835 A.S.
Moving through Omicrons and Rhineland proved to be safe, as the entire group of ships utilized moving through the jump holes, and used maps made specifically for this operation. As instructed, the group maintained radio silence along the entire journey, only making negotiations when informing all ships to set the next waypoint and upon arrival at it. Since all the holes were stable, the group made it to the Bering system before reuniting with the Section 8 agent, "Senator". Having given the group all the necessary information, the ships moved on to the Texas system, from which the plan was to reach California, and from there to head towards Ontario through the aforementioned jump hole system.
Visual-report from Order pilot "Heqet"-callsign: "Scouting operation around Texas Jump Hole", March 18, 835 A.S.
Further progress was made without incident. As soon as the group reached the Ontario system, the group split up: "OLV-Shadows" headed for Fort Ramsey to deliver supplies to Liberty Free Republic, while "OLV-Bua-Skuggi" headed toward the battleship Atum to deliver supplies aboard the ship. The "Shadows" logistics ship was the first to report a successful docking with Fort Ramsey, while the Bua was still reaching its destination.
Visual-report from OLV-Shadows: "Successful docking with Fort Ramsey", March 18, 835 A.S.
A few moments later, Bua also reported her successful arrival on the battleship Atum and the transfer of all necessary supplies to the ship's crew. At this time, the quantity of materials delivered is as follows:
Fort Ramsey, Liberty Free Republic: 3900 Kemwer Technologies, 1100 Pharmaceuticals.
Additional visual material will be available in the attachments below. There is also evidence of the successful transfer of materials to Battleship Atum and Fort Ramsey, respectively. The operation to deliver supplies and transfer additional Brigade forces can be considered a success. The following objectives were achieved:
34th Brigade moved additional assets as two gunboats into Ontario system space, to further support the Order and Liberty Free Republic forces in stabilizing the blockade in orbit of the planet Sudbury.
Along with the Brigade's two heavy ships, Ontario's mission lineup has been augmented by two agents sent here on Overwatch orders: Heqet and Jack Harper.
A successful delivery of supplies to Fort Ramsey and the battleship Atum was accomplished.
All ships reached their destination without any damage, the logistics group did not encounter any enemy on their way.
The safety of Fort Ramsey or Battleship Atum was not compromised.
At this point, this can be considered the end of the report. Logistics ships and escort vessels not assigned to the Ontario system will soon replenish fuel, take a breather and head back to the Omicrons. Further logistical operations are still in question, as the Nomad attack on Zeta forces us to look to Omicrons rather than Dom space. The same can be said for warships: we'd like to move a few more ships, but for now we'll have to make do with what we have.

Sender:Oliver Moss Recipient:Brigade Operations Tracking Department (OTD). Subject:Incident Report - Intercept of Auxo gunboats in Ontario.
Reporting for duty.
As known most of Brigade assets was deployed in a light fightercrafts, such as mine Bastet Mk II, good for patroling, especially since Ontario is much calmer than Omicron Zeta a.k.a Hellpit. At the end of patrol TACOM at Atum informed about Auxo dangerously moving fast to an anomaly site at sector F4, and ordered to intercept. The new mission initially briefed to expect hostile fighter wings at max. Intel dropped the ball on that one — what I found was a full squadron of Auxo gunboats, heavily armed and operating with precision. These weren’t just scouts; they were packing enough firepower to level up a bunch of fighters.
They didn’t engage immediately, but their presence alone was enough to raise alarms. Auxo doesn’t send gunboats for a joyride — they were there for something big, and they weren’t planning to share. According to standard protocols - called for backup, but by the time reinforcements arrived, the situation had already gone hot. The Bastet held up, but those gunboats are no joke — shield-piercing weapons, advanced targeting systems, and enough armor to make some cruisers jealous.
Visual from E\V/-Seth: "Auxo gunboat caught on a guncam before explosion", March 19, 835 A.S.
That was clear Auxo wasn’t expecting us either, specially us to be such aggressive. The backup arrival turned the tide — our firepower and coordination forced Auxo to regroup. We managed to take down one of their gunboats, and that was enough to make them cut their losses. The remaining Auxo forces retreated, leaving the anomaly site behind.
Another visual: "Auxo gunboat destroyed", March 19, 835 A.S.
Eventually, since main objective of holding the perimeter accomplished, we returned to base. Obviously, we can’t afford another misstep like this, but, in my opinion, Auxo are the least threat in that region, their fast reaction to just retreat means they are not going into fight - what might cheer up our Xenos friends. Probably we won`t hear about them in near future.
Ah, and yes, just so OTD won`t be such bothered reading that report. After wrapping up the engagement with the Auxo gunboats (see above), we had the pleasure of running into a Lane Hacker who called herself ):--Bitconnect. She opened with the classic line, "What the heeeeeell," which, honestly, set the tone for the entire encounter. She claimed the Ontario system was "her house," which is amusing considering we’d just cleared out a squadron of Auxo gunboats from it. I advised her to leave the AO, but she decided to introduce herself instead. Apparently, she’s Chloe, and she rolls with some girls from the Ontario hackers. I told her I wasn’t interested and that I might have "better girls on Manhattan." She didn’t take that well. The banter continued, with her insisting she’s "not that kinda girl" and me responding with some classic jokes. My wingmen, Anubis and Serqet, seemed to enjoy the show. At one point, Anubis even laughed and called it a "nice one."
To her credit, she didn’t escalate things, though she did call us "real classy" as she left. I’ll take that as a compliment.

Attention! This message have high priority.
Due to recent reports we have received on the situation in Ontario, the Brigade combat forces stationed in the system will devote their full strength to supporting the Order's ships in the campaign against the Nomads and their followers. This means that no further action is planned against the LSF on behalf of the 34th Brigade.
All missions posted in the list above will remain relevant to members of XA and S8 units, to understand the overall tactical situation in the system.
Also, as early as this Saturday, we will be making an expedition to orbit the planet Sudbury, to deploy observation equipment and surface probes whose task will be to collect information about activity on the planet's surface and the status of its beam.
Departure is scheduled for 18:00.

Konnichiwa!
The expedition to the planet Sudbury has been successfully completed, and I thank Section 8 agent, “Hound” for taking part in helping to navigate our ship “Odyssey” to explore the planet.
Observation probes were placed and the ship successfully returned home, safe and sound. I was away, so the ship was piloted by another person, but one who was competent enough to undertake the mission personally, according to my prearranged instructions.
As far as I know, there was a Rogue ship that attempted to observe from the sidelines, but later left the scene after a word or two with the "Hound". Your agent demonstrated the necessary skills to simply dissuade that ship to go far away, for which I am also grateful.
All the necessary information will be reflected in the logs, I'll let you know all the details later.
