Right, I'll make this fairly simple. I was speaking with the captain of a Yacht today called the ECS-Desert.Wind.
I believe this man to be the pilot of the IMG Gunboat known as ECS-Agememnon, based on the conversation he had with me, which seems to be a rather frequent topic for him, like an obsession..it's pretty strange. The man is obsessed with the incident involving "Captain Leam" of the 41st, and our attempt at executing him for treason, desertion and defecting to the Order.
Now, this man claims to know Leam personally, and every time I see him he insists that Leam is still alive, and that I needlessly massacred the crew of the Liner he was aboard when I carried out the order to execute him. So that's fine, that's all well and good, that's no problem.
The problem is that now as of today, I'm starting to grant a little credence to his words, or at least his insistence that "Leam" is still alive.
Apparently not only is Leam still alive, but he's back in charge of the 41st Strike Group as well. This is highly concerning to me and I urge you to keep an eye out for the man...And I urge some sort of consideration regarding what to do with the 41st as well, if their leader is still indeed a man who tried to defect to The Order.
On a last note regarding this incident, I will transmit audiolog transcripts with this message.
Admiral Hale, I'm not sure how you wish to handle this, or what action, if any, you wish to take, but I'm of the opinion that a formal investigation should be launched regarding the entire 41st Strike Group, so that we might get to the bottom of this.
Separate from the first issue, this evening a very abrasive Kempeitai agent by the name of [color=#FF0000]YORI YOSHIDA was encountered undocking from Newark Station near Manhattan, after briefly questioning I ordered him to leave Libertonian space, which I additionally thought he was going to do. However not long after he left Manhattan orbit the Kusari agent began to taunt myself and a Bretonian Intelligence Service agent who was present in an off duty capacity. His name was Austin Goodman. The Kusari man proceeded to tell us how stupid we (the Libertonians and Bretonians) were stupid, and how Kusari and Gallia were going to destroy the Kingdom of Bretonia and eventually The Republic of Liberty as well. Even with that we originally let him go, thinking he would exit our space.
Come to find out, this man went completely the opposite direction and headed into California. We managed to catch up with him in Magellan, Captain Roy Sanders and mister Austin Goodman were the first on scene, with Lieutenant Commander Polstari as well. The men were able to hold the Kempeitai agent until I arrived.
Upon my arrival I began trying to question the Kusari man again, eventually he told us that he was intending to meet a contact in Bretonia, mister Goodman was very adamantly opposed to allowing this to happen, as was I. To that end I ordered the Kusari man to deactivate his shields and surrender his ship, informing him that he would be held by Naval Intelligence until we could determine what his presence in Liberty truly was. It is worth mention that -initially- coming from Newark he told us he'd been hunting a Blood Dragon, but that didn't match up and that is how we got to the end result that we did.
Anyway, the Kempeitai agent declined to surrender and attempted to break away, opening fire as he did so. At this point, Myself, Polstari, Sanders and Goodman opened fire on the Kusari ship, proceeding to chase it through the Leeds Jump Anomaly where we were able to destroy the ship in orbit of planet Leeds itself.
I can provide a complete audio or visual recording of this incident if need be.
Ah, additionally, Recruit Kohaku Ueda, it's come to my attention that you've met your Eight Hour probationary flight requirement, you are hereby promoted to the rank of Ensign, get yourself outfitted with a combat-capable ship to replace your trainer. Congratulations, Carry on.
