I have successfully contacted two senior Xenologists operating aboard the Interspace tagged vessel Research. They have agreed to come and work for the Coalition on this project on the condition of confidentiality.
They have built a formidable reputation already studying alien jump gates and artifacts, and hopefully they will unravel what, exactly, we have discovered.
The good Doctors are a little eccentric, but should be treated with due courtesy as long as they work for us and abide by our conditions.
I have informed them that, Commissar's willing, they will be given the data and allowed to commence their research. And if their discovery leads to a breakthrough that will reshape the universe, they will get due credit and earn scientific accolades in accordance with that. After the matter is declassified of course.
I request to know if, after sufficient background checks are concluded, they could be given diplomatic passes similar to the one afforded Doc. Holiday to allow their free transit.
Awaiting orders,

Addendum: The Doctors names are Dr. Wesely Pryce and Dr. Rene Altura.
Also our informant, acting as one of our intelligence gatherers, Seamstress, will be making regular intelligence briefings in regards to rumours and possible sightings of the two Artifacts not in our hands.
Those will be posted here for ease, and consolidation of Data for the Commissars.

Good day, Operative Razin,
I have been receiving good reports from your superior, Lieutenant Commander Katz. Due to this, you are to be awarded with a 'Hero of the Revolution' decoration for your courage in the face of the enemy. However, due to the top secret nature of current operations, this is to remain classified at present.
You are also to be assigned to Lieutenant Commander Katz's vessel, the Social Credit as his second in command. You will be second in command of tactical operations of said vessel, Commissar Maria Havel having strategic command of Coalition policy aboard the ship. She is to be listened to at all times.
You shall also be attending seminars on Grand Master Protocol and Tangential Theory and Practice with Lieutenant Commander Katz under Commander Maximilian. This is intended to defend your psyche from hostile attack, and said methods have so far proven superlative in their effectiveness.
Finally, in recognition of your ability and increased responsibility, you are to be promoted to full flight Lieutenant.

Salud, camaradas!
It has come to my attention that, unfortunately, due to a lack of manpower in certain departments, that certain bureaucratic necessities have been mishandled or caught up amidst large volumes of paperwork.
This has been rectified, and our roster updated to reflect a recent influx of recruits.
Now, we have also been needing an additional Captain in High Command to assist with the organisation of our growing Fighter Corps, so Commander Luis Gellantra shall be receiving Captain's stripes to have stitched to his flight suit. Congratulations.
Also earning a promotion is Sub-Lieutenant Viktor Heinz, promoted to full flight Lieutenant, for showing more than capable skill and swiftness of learning.
Now, to orders.
It has come to my attention that many of our recent recruits have been rather sluggish to get going, partly the fault of our difficulties in restructuring the Fighter Corps, but there is also personal blame here, too.
I am now ordering all of our pilots who have been recruited in the past two months to increase their activity and report their actions, so that we have a record thereof.

LOCATION: Research Vessel N101, Freeport 4, Megellan System
TARGET ID: SCRA COMMAND
I am Doctor Rene Altura of the privately operated research vessel N101.For some time our vessel has been exploring space, and conducting research on the Dom'Kavash, the Nomad species, and their artifacts.Our vessel was recently contacted by SCRA vessel CPW-Social.Credit, Lt. CDR Alvin Katz commanding. Lieutenant Commander Katz indicated to us that the SCRA is interested in fielding qualified research personnel in the investigation of the artifacts, and possible applications to benefit the SCRA, and possibly the whole of mankind.
Our vessel has operated independently for some time, without any support other then what we acquire or produce ourselves, which to be frank, has limited the scope of our research. If the SCRA would be willing to act as our patron, we would strive to unlock the deepest secrets left by the artifacts, and serve The Coalition in our fullest scientific capacity.We are willing to comply with the requirement that the work be conducted descreetly.Our only condition is that the SCRA acknowledge that we are a ship of knowledge not of war.We will defend ourselves and SCRA vessels if attacked, but must insist that we not be asked conduct offensive operations of any kind.We are willing to provide medical and supply assistance if requested to do so.
We are requesting access to and passage throughout Coalition space in accordance with our research as the
SCRA directs,and any data the SCRA feels may be revelant to our work.

We await confirmation of our requests and our first orders.We are moving to Planet Los Angeles, to
We have already received prior notice of your arrival in our space, where you shall be warmly welcomed. However, you are advised to wait until directly contacted and informed that your paperwork has gone through without any trouble, in order to prevent accidents involving automated defence systems.
The reason i'm getting in contact with the SCRA at the moment, regards the GZ item code BLACK, and its location.
After several days looking for said item, my crew and i managed to get some info from the GC, even though they are highly paranoid with outsiders, they arent that good erasing traces of their actions. With enough time, we got a somewhat accurate location of the item, with a reliable source. However, no system could be better for hiding something like this one was.
The item was supposed to be inside a mobile research facility, inside the TAKKINAI cloud, in the center of the Tau-65 system, where the scanners of almost every known ship are pretty much worthless. We were looking around the cloud with short range scanners looking for energy traces, but the proximity with the Ekitei X-ray pulsar on the system made almost every signature we found a false positive.
However, after while, we encountered a lone GC Eagle going from the cloud to the Kawada research complex nearby, that seemed to be in a hurry, and since we are not actual enemies with the GC, it overlooked our prescense without scanning our ship properly.
We immediately began to intercept its transmissions, it was calling for an eng. backup team because some transport got a total power failure for some unknown reason, we knew it was what we were looking for; this probably was caused by the artifact itself.
After some minutes we got another transmission saying that the transport was being towed to Kawada at the moment. We couldn't get close to it because it was escorted by several bombers, and a direct aproach would just have been suicidal.
To go unnoticed, several hours later we went to the Kawada station claiming we were just a ͫ͜ d̔ ̨̼̘̋͆ͮ̽k̔̃͑̋̈́f̱ͨ̚̕g̙͚̖̲̬̋ͩ scientific team, that wanted to help researching the Pulsar. While our ship was scanning the installation for the artifact, some of my team was making time, and after a while we found it. But it was heavy guarded with several security systems, and a direct hack and infiltration team would have been noticed eventually, without letting us enough time to undock safely. Then, we decided on a quite risky but plausible plan to get our hands on the artifact, we got a couple of agents infiltrated on the installation, to plant an EMP device on one of the panels that protect the complex from the X-ray waves from the pulsar. Doing so, we would send another agent to retrieve the artifact and place a decoy on the station's chaotic state, while we disabled the security systems while they got re-started, then placing the artifact on our ship, we would evacue with the rest, and go directly to the cloud, to avoid scanning.
The plan went fairly well, however i lost one of my men due to an unplanned explosion inside the complex, generated by the X-ray waves. All the station's power array was directed to the panels left and shielding. and we were able to get out without getting the station destroyed or heavily damaged, and unnoticed.
The decoy will overcharge in a couple of hours, creating a moderate explosion, leaving no trace of it. The GC will probably think it was caused by the Pulsar damage on the station, since it hasnt been studied that much at the moment, they will know nothing.
Code BLACK is on my ship.
Awaiting further instructions from Lt. Alvin Katz.
END OF TRA̶N͞SMISSĪ͋̚͟Ö̓ͮ̿ͯͪN
If i make a typo now and then... its because my english its not native. ...or that i drank too much, pardon me :3
I went on a patrol trough the Omegas in my Partisan alone, mainly to see if there are any Hessian comrades in need of help, or if are Corsairs preparing any surprises for us.
I entered Omega 5, then I've visited our comrades on Ronneburg, but soon flown off to Omega 3. Meanwhile, I received a transmission from our HQ, that I might have issues on my way back. A few Corsairs appeared in Omega 5.
When I returned there again, I tried to avoid them, but sadly, a Pirate transport noticed me and warned them. Two Gladiators caught me, one OPG and one SFS (Just some another unknown Corsair group).
We had a short talk, they were obviously very hungry and eager to eat me alive.
I was about to leave, two Gladiators on one Partisan would be a bit unfair. For them.
But then I noticed two hessian comrades in cargo hold of the SFS Gladiator. I had to act. I demanded their return. See yourself how it ended.
I was lucky that the OPG Gladiator had problems with his ship, probably all those asteroids and mines damaged him too much and he was out of the fight quite soon. The pirate transport fortunately didnt engage either.
After I was done with his mate, OPG gained control of his ship, but I quickly left to not risk losing those two comrades I picked from the SFS.
I arrived at Ronneburg and returned those pilots to safety. I received a little reward, despite not wanting one. It was my duty to save my comrades after all.
That's all. Im stationed at Ronneburg now, enjoying some Rheinland beer and waiting for any orders to come. I will return back to 52 soon.
***EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION***
***TO SCRA HIGH COMMAND***
The Social Credit was moving to intercept a Rhienland Battleship this morning with other elements of the Fighter corps.
Whilst transiting O-11 it encountered a sizable number of OPG vessels. I was ready to do battle against overwhelming odds, when they simply flew past me, instead choosing to attack Zoners in the area en-masse....
I don't know how, or why... but the Zoner's seem to have made the OPG very angry. This looked like a massive operation.
We got out of there quickly due to our mission requirements.
The First pretaining to an ally Long.John-Silver who, after making contact, has proven to be a loyal ally to the revolution. He helped to secure a fourth Nomad Artifact (power core) for our cause.
However Rogue Elements of the Rhienland Military, operating outside of the jurisdiction set upon us in a surprise attack, and they manage to seize the Artifact.
We must be aware that the Rhienlanders are trying to thwart our Research project!
Secondly:
Artifact:BLACK has been delivered to me after a length struggle and chase through Kusari space... in which the GC were heavilly implicated and hostile.
We must beware that these women are also after the artifact, but they appear ignorant as to its purpose.
For now, however. We have BLACK, and I am returning to O-52 as soon as I have concluded my interdiction of Ontario's Smuggling routes.
Of note, the people of Ontario seem genuinely happy to see a Capital class vessel able to drive off the smugglers. So much so that they have made repeated, unsolicited, donations to our cause.
I think... we may have an opportunity to secure a base in this system and establish a permenant presence here in the future. The miners of Toronto seem especially displeased with the whole abandonment by the Liberty Navy/Police forces. ALSO the Battleship Ottawa seems unwilling to engage me at all. I have sailed the CPW-Social.Credit right up to the ship and they refused to engage... it seems that the crew and Captain are sympathetic to our cause.
I request permission to continue to spread the word of the Revolution to this system, and see if we can't coax Toronto Station into open revolt... or convince the Battleship Ottawa to defect.
Awaiting Orders,

Alright you bastards, listen up!
I'm going to be running operations in Liberty for the moment, and we're trying something different from usual. Something peaceful and nice and all that other crap.
Now, unless you hold High Command authorisation, when in Liberty, particularly Ontario, you will adhere to commands issued by myself or Lieutenant Commander Alvin Katz. His election campaign is of paramount importance, and will not be jeopardised by trigger-happy clowns.
You heard me, now do it. Either avoid Liberty and get front-line duty in the Omegas, or assist against the slave trade in Ontario and shake hands with our civilian supporters.
