-subject: An explanation-
My name is Katherine Pennybrooke, I was flying the Ahoudori-class of the same name in Delta not long ago. I am lying low in Lost for the time being, but I have fairly advanced transmission arrays on this ship so I do hope this message will be sent without issue.
I will attempt to give a brief summary of why I assisted without going through my entire life's story.
I am a private researcher and explorer from a wealthy family, largely unburdened by the typical restrictions the average human faces. I studied atmospheric physics at Cambridge, my home planet, and pursued a leisurely lifestyle of exploration with my brother Edwin after.
In this time, I accumulated an intimate knowledge of stellar geography, but more importantly the demeanor of its denizens. It was only later that I would realize how depressing our situation is.
Being the so-called intrepid explorers we were, we ran into what we call the Slomon K'Hara on more than one occasion during this time, without any trouble. Though communication with them is not what we humans are used to, it was never too difficult to reach some form of understanding.
But the crucial point of development for me came in the form of an encounter with the former Liberty Navy Ship Tundra, and her captain Robert Foster. The Tundra had been turned into more of an organism than a ship, but captain Foster spoke with a clarity about the situation that I have never encountered since.
I have always considered myself a pacifist, and a person who truly believes there is a better future to be found for my species, but he was able to define these feelings in a way I could not have myself.
I came to accept that humanity is an invasive species. We have come to the home of another species, claimed it as our own, and spread as quickly as we could, all the meanwhile fighting and killing each other as we always have done.
This is the nature of humanity, we are a conquest-driven predator, and our primary victims have always been ourselves. When a human tribe encounters another, they seek to dominate and conquer them, to subjugate them.
It is remarkable that my species acted surprised when the Slomon K'Hara, the natives of the Sirius sector, reacted with aggression when we were conquering their home, as if they somehow did not have a right to do so.
It was captain Foster who made me realize that we must do what the proper guest to a foreign place does: Adapt to their hosts.
Not only is this politeness, on a basic level of interaction between species, but it would mean the end of our species' bloodlust and rampaging.
We are a plague, insane animals driven by instinct to kill and enslave each other, and we have been throughout our history. Now we have come to the home of another species, and we intend to do the same. To spread our ideals of domination and slaughter. Humanity, as we have evolved, cannot avoid horrific mistreatment of their own.
The goal which become obvious to me then is our adaptation to the native ways. With universal empathy, we can finally become a species that is not self-destructive, that does not have this seemingly insatiable drive to ruin its kin.
This is my goal, for humanity to become one with our hosts. We are in your house, and we must do as you do. Any amount of casualties this takes will be more than made up for by a future of progress and peace which our species is simply not capable of on its own.
I gained two important allies after my meetings with Foster. Gabriella Casta of the Ghosts of Razgriz, and Angela Corino, who some call the "Emissary". I know Gabriella understands my goals, but she departed the sector some time ago and I have only had sporadic contact with her 101st allies since. As for Corino, I have done missions for her to gain intelligence and do whatever small part I can to achieve my goal, and I have done what I can to assist the native forces otherwise.
In my mind, my path is that of a diplomat and negotiator primarily, not a warrior. The very reason why I work for the triumph of the natives over the intruders is my aversion to violence, even though I know it will be necessary at times. Whatever I can do within my constraints though, I am willing to do.
I have been away from current events from some times, working as a meteorologist on a remote weather station on Kurile, a job which I have lost due to yet another episode of ridiculous human turf wars. I do not know if Corino is still around, but regardless, I intend to continue my role as an agent between us, to the benefit of the natives.
That was a brief summary of my background. I hope this explains why I was assisting you. I may need assistance of my own soon too, as I am drifting in no man's land here at the time being. My ship is equipped for very long-term travel, but it will not last forever.
Captain Namura here. That Delta fight after we disabled the Freeport was by far the most intense one I was in. Had you not been there, I dare say those capital ships would gain distance on us and that'd be our end. For that we are grateful.
Now to your story. I have to admit you're one of the strangest human beings I've met. Don't take this as an insult - I was merely referring to your different view on things than others. As captain Foster explained - we indeed did come first and your species are the invaders. To see a human embrace that is surprising, to say the least.
I am to an extent familiar with your history with us and dealings with captain Foster, Gabriella Casta and Angela Corino. What you did exactly is your business and your business only, but I can confirm we have relations with all of them. From your last paragraph I couldn't understand whether or not you were asking for us to grant you The Gift, but I'll assume it's related to it. For now no, it's not the time. You're more beneficial to us as a normal human, and it helps you in your endeavours. I do however have 2 tasks for you.
First, keep being the eyes and the ears for our group, like you were doing already. New information are always needed. Second one is of critical importance. You're very familiar with the Delta crisis already. However, there's currently a misconception that the Core was behind bombing the Freeport. It wasn't, we were. We used one of our Core undercovers to blend in and execute the attack. Where do you come in all this? We want you to, -after the crisis is over-, spread around rumours that it was us after all. It will be another blow to the humanity, currently busy with their own conflicts not knowing it was all because of the third side. Every ship, every life that dies in the Omicrons makes them weaker while we gather our strengths.
As for your distress call, I can only return the favor. Our ships will pick you up in Lost shortly and get you to safety near the Omicron Minor jumphole. I must warn you that if you try to double cross us, we will find you no matter where you are and drag you to the worst place your mind can't even imagine. Take care, and contact us again in a few months.

-subject: A report-
Again, I am grateful your ships got me out of the Omicrons with no issue. I have made my way to Heisenberg Research Station, in the remote Cologne system. I've worked from here before and it's a perfect base of operations.
Now as I promised, I have some information to share, conversations which I witnessed as a bystander at the Freeport, before we came into contact. How much of this is truly useful I cannot say, but as a general rule I don't believe there can be too much information available.
[08.01.2017 23:16:55] IRG|Quetzalcoatl: Sean: Oh, nice of you to join us Raven
[08.01.2017 23:17:12] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Oh, good day everyone.
[08.01.2017 23:17:12] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: R: He who - wha?
[08.01.2017 23:17:20] IRG|Quetzalcoatl: Sean: Afternoon
[08.01.2017 23:17:22] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: R: *groaning out a stretch* What now?
[08.01.2017 23:17:25] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: Number one, they did have a point about a certain group using your name as a ramp.
[08.01.2017 23:17:31] Frontier: K: Hello.
[08.01.2017 23:17:39] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: And number two - There was no reason for them to attack the Fionna.
[08.01.2017 23:17:41] IRG|Quetzalcoatl: Sean: Talking about the newest attack on the Freeport
[08.01.2017 23:17:47] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: R: Urrrrgh.
[08.01.2017 23:18:13] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: Well, Keeper. The audio logs and visual evidence so far points to The Core being the aggressors again.
[08.01.2017 23:18:22] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: R: Ohhhh my goddddddd.
[08.01.2017 23:18:34] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I am experiencing a mild case of deja-vu. Didn't this happen not too long ago?
[08.01.2017 23:18:39] IRG|Quetzalcoatl: Sean: *chuckles* I don't think he can save you now Raven
[08.01.2017 23:18:45] Frontier: K: Are her comms broken or is she talking really slow?
[08.01.2017 23:18:48] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: Several months.
[08.01.2017 23:18:54] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: R: Both. I'm broken. So are the comms.
[08.01.2017 23:19:32] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Perhaps I should have paid more attention at the time. I've been too far out of the loop.
[08.01.2017 23:19:37] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: Well that cleans up the second attack. Do any of you know what occurred during the Arcadia and Iona's attempt to assist-
[08.01.2017 23:19:40] A/)-ACV-Arktos: The Order?
[08.01.2017 23:19:52] Frontier: I: Get off my seat, Keisuke.
[08.01.2017 23:19:59] Frontier: K: Come on you said I could sit here
[08.01.2017 23:20:10] Frontier: I: Get. Off.
[08.01.2017 23:20:39] Frontier: *inaudible speaking and loud background noises*
[08.01.2017 23:20:56] IRG|Quetzalcoatl: Sean: Raven, once you screw your head back on have you seen this latest transmission about the bomb threat?
[08.01.2017 23:20:58] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I'm glad I no longer have to work with others on my ship.
[08.01.2017 23:21:37] Frontier: I: Keisuke. We're upside down. See what you've done?
[08.01.2017 23:21:39] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: R: Something... Yeah... Nomad Powercell. Look at it carefully.
[08.01.2017 23:21:46] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: R: Invert your eyes, you'll see it.
[08.01.2017 23:22:28] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: R: Core wouldn't waste a NEMP bomb on Zoners anyway.
[08.01.2017 23:22:37] IRG|Quetzalcoatl: Sean: That's still gonna pack a punch, and with all the traders bringing supplies its going to be hard to stop it from slipping
[08.01.2017 23:22:37] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: R: Not worth the fun or th- *yawn* - the challenge.
[08.01.2017 23:22:37] IRG|Quetzalcoatl: in
[08.01.2017 23:22:47] IRG|Warden: ?: I wish we'd dismiss that threat a bit more. Freeport 11 is heavily shielded as is, they may knock off tertiary power systems
[08.01.2017 23:23:05] IRG|Warden: but it wont have nearly enough power to shut off primary and emergency power systems.
[08.01.2017 23:23:06] Frontier: I: That isn't Core. At least I think they ar eposing as Core. They wouldn't send a comm with their plans. Core may be stupid --
[08.01.2017 23:23:07] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: R: I heard word about a nasty flock of Blues and 'bum bandits in the area - namely 'Casts.
[08.01.2017 23:23:09] Frontier: but they aren't that stupid.
[08.01.2017 23:23:32] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: Well if The Commune tried once, and given the situation here, it's no surprise they'd try too.
[08.01.2017 23:23:37] IRG|Warden: ?: To which we've been made aware, Raven.
[08.01.2017 23:23:47] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: When there's disorder, there's an opportunity for terrorizing.
[08.01.2017 23:24:00] (SolarR[R]Spirit.Walker: Ash: Psh...
[08.01.2017 23:24:27] (SolarR[R]Spirit.Walker: Ash: I was in the area when they got here..
[08.01.2017 23:24:43] (SolarR[R]Spirit.Walker: Ash: Shocked to see Casta and some rather..redneckish outcasts..
[08.01.2017 23:25:00] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: R: I saw those Commune-flipping-fluffing-frickwads undocking from here... Why do they even have access...
[08.01.2017 23:25:07] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: Oh, so Casta returned to her roots and shot at some innocents, huh?
[08.01.2017 23:25:23] IRG|Quetzalcoatl: Sean: Raven, everyone is welcome here...except Core
[08.01.2017 23:25:32] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Did you say Casta? Gabriella Casta, perhaps?
[08.01.2017 23:25:37] (SolarR[R]Spirit.Walker: Ash: Oh, Caste indeed did, attacked the convoy escorts and the Zoner freeport defenders as well as the support that arrived
[08.01.2017 23:25:38] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: R: ...Mmmrrhhh... Including the ones that shot you too.
[08.01.2017 23:25:39] (SolarR[R]Spirit.Walker: later..
[08.01.2017 23:26:36] IRG|Quetzalcoatl: Sean: Oh I'm well aware, but trying to get the entire Administration to agree is quite a task
[08.01.2017 23:26:45] (SolarR[R]Spirit.Walker: Ash: As a matter of fact, I included pictures of her in the emergency relay, you can see them there
[08.01.2017 23:27:11] (SolarR[R]Spirit.Walker: Ash: And yes, the one zero one girl..
[08.01.2017 23:27:41] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I have not spoken to Gab in years. Last I heard she was departing the sector.
[08.01.2017 23:27:43] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: Well, I'll be compiling all of the evidence and we should have enough to clear this situation up.
[08.01.2017 23:28:03] (SolarR[R]Spirit.Walker: Ash: You know. I can hear your..engine right behind me..
[08.01.2017 23:28:16] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: *They resume their previous posture of taking a nap in their chair, curling up, feet on the chair* Yeah-yeah, call me if you -
[08.01.2017 23:28:21] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: need something.
[08.01.2017 23:28:31] IRG|Quetzalcoatl: Sean: Ah shoot, looks like we have a minor leak, be right back
[08.01.2017 23:29:00] JM|-Remainder: I suspect that relay is going to be seeing a lot of action over the coming days, sadly.
[08.01.2017 23:29:04] Frontier: I: Good old Jinkusu and her faulty lines.
[08.01.2017 23:31:33] 2017-01-08 23:31:31 SMT Traffic control alert: JM|-Remainder has requested to dock
[08.01.2017 23:32:27] IRG|Quetzalcoatl: Sean: Has there been any activity from the Core today?
[08.01.2017 23:32:51] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: *quietly* Plentiful.
[08.01.2017 23:33:07] (SolarR[R]Spirit.Walker: Ash: That yes...mostly nonaggressive but..plenty.
[08.01.2017 23:33:35] Frontier: I: There was that strange case where one of them said they were allying with Auxesia.
[08.01.2017 23:33:40] Frontier: I: What was his name?
[08.01.2017 23:33:53] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: R: Black... something. They're nuts. I guess.
[08.01.2017 23:34:15] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: Black Viper. An unusual person. Did he ever explain his motives for denouncing the Core?
[08.01.2017 23:34:41] Frontier: I: He did say that he didn't condone their actions against the innocent... or something.
[08.01.2017 23:34:53] IRG|Quetzalcoatl: Sean: Strange
[08.01.2017 23:35:12] 2017-01-08 23:35:10 SMT Traffic control alert: IRG|Warden has requested to dock
[08.01.2017 23:35:24] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: R: *yawns quietly* Mhm. Yes, sure...
[08.01.2017 23:35:27] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: For an alleged military organization, they do not seem to possess the coherence.
[08.01.2017 23:35:35] Frontier: I: As fas as I can tell, that could either be some way of infiltration, or it could legitimately be a nutcase.
[08.01.2017 23:36:27] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: It isn't the first time one made that choice.
[08.01.2017 23:36:41] Frontier: I: Evidently.
[08.01.2017 23:37:19] 2017-01-08 23:37:17 SMT Traffic control alert: Guy.Stiller has requested to dock
[08.01.2017 23:37:39] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: R: Oh fish-fiddle-flaps.
[08.01.2017 23:37:53] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: R: Be back...
[08.01.2017 23:38:45] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I have to ask. What's the story behind that Overlord-class? As much as you can tell a stranger.
[08.01.2017 23:39:01] Frontier: I: I am curious myself.
[08.01.2017 23:39:11] IRG|Quetzalcoatl: Sean: Don't ask questions you don't wanna know the answer too
[08.01.2017 23:39:26] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: This is a Monument-Class, actually. Older.
[08.01.2017 23:39:35] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I'm a curious person. Asking questions is what I do.
[08.01.2017 23:39:43] Frontier: I: Can't tell from the outside.
[08.01.2017 23:39:53] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: The vessel was inherited during a merge with another organization. The vessel its self is formerly the LNS Cincinnati.
[08.01.2017 23:40:00] Frontier: I: Well, that comes from someone who's never been in Liberty.
[08.01.2017 23:40:13] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: It was comandeered from the Liberty Navy fifth Fleet and the former vessel of Commodore Maverick O'Howell.
[08.01.2017 23:41:14] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: *slumbers back into their chair* Now... back to business.
[08.01.2017 23:41:16] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Commandeered? So you are a fugitive from Liberty?
[08.01.2017 23:41:26] IRG|Quetzalcoatl: Sean: Isn't that why we are all out here?
[08.01.2017 23:41:27] (SolarR[R]Spirit.Walker: Ash: Wait, older then an Momument class?
[08.01.2017 23:41:45] Attention! Stand clear. Towing [KNF]KDS-Zanza|66th
[08.01.2017 23:41:46] (SolarR[R]Spirit.Walker: Ash: So..a Dowson class then?
[08.01.2017 23:41:50] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: Was. The vessel its self is slated to be returned to the Republic in the coming months along with some additional hardware.
[08.01.2017 23:42:22] Frontier: I: I haven't seen a Komainu since... A long time ago.
[08.01.2017 23:42:29] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: I saw one earlier today.
[08.01.2017 23:42:31] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Speaking of vessels I wouldn't expect to see out here.
[08.01.2017 23:42:34] [KNF]KDS-Zanza|66th: Command: Initiating perimeter scanners- multiple contacts.
[08.01.2017 23:42:37] Frontier: I: Why is the Kusari Navy here? In Delta?
[08.01.2017 23:42:47] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: Expeditionary vessel, I'd presume.
[08.01.2017 23:42:48] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: R: Scan us and I'll rip your wings off and turn you into sushi.
[08.01.2017 23:42:58] IRG|Quetzalcoatl: Sean: Mmmmm....fish
[08.01.2017 23:43:05] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: Let's... Not have a repeat of that Osiris.
[08.01.2017 23:43:06] Frontier: I: Recon equipment.
[08.01.2017 23:43:09] (SolarR[R]Spirit.Walker: *Ashley facepalms*

[08.01.2017 23:44:04] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: R: Woah, who knew the Kusarians can actually read news outside of Kusari? [snarks]
[08.01.2017 23:44:06] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: It's being investigated, but most of the pieces are coming together.
[08.01.2017 23:44:51] [KNF]KDS-Zanza|66th: Majin: I see. That is some progress at least. I am talking to...?
[08.01.2017 23:45:19] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: R: Here's me, thinking they were spending too much time bending over for Gallia and trying to play whack-a-mole with Exiles.
[08.01.2017 23:45:31] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: R: Peheheh. *exhales* Ooohhh. I need a drink.
[08.01.2017 23:45:42] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: If the Naval Forces have no record of me, that's all the better.
[08.01.2017 23:45:46] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: Curator Leviathan of Auxesia.
[08.01.2017 23:46:18] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: R: If you want reference, I'm more annoyed that I have to force myself awake. I don't like my privacy being invaded.
[08.01.2017 23:46:35] [KNF]KDS-Zanza|66th: Majin: Oh, the Auxesia. I do hear of them from time to time, but didn't expect to be around every piece of trouble all the time
[08.01.2017 23:47:02] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: We were called upon to aid in the defense. Currently we're acting as peacekeepers while we investigate.
[08.01.2017 23:47:04] Frontier: I: I didn't expect to be around Naval Forces. At all.
[08.01.2017 23:47:10] [KNF]KDS-Zanza|66th: Well, I guess introductions are in order, given the circunstances.
[08.01.2017 23:47:29] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: *impatiently taps the desk, drooping over it*
[08.01.2017 23:47:45] [KNF]KDS-Zanza|66th: Agent Majin, Kusari Naval Forces, on board of the KDS Zanza, of the Naval Forces group 66th.
[08.01.2017 23:48:18] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: A pleasure to meet you, Agent. What brings you to the Edge?
[08.01.2017 23:48:41] Frontier: I: Ichimaru Disedu. Former Imperial Navy pilot. Been on the Frontier since, uhhh, I'm not good with dates.
[08.01.2017 23:48:56] [KNF]KDS-Zanza|66th: The KNI and KNF have been for the past week investigating some matters that have flared our attention recently.

[08.01.2017 23:49:19] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine Pennybrooke. I've been....around these parts, on and off, for some time.

[08.01.2017 23:49:37] Frontier: I: Never seen you out here though, didn't think you'd want anything here. Guess I assumed incorrectly.
[08.01.2017 23:49:45] [KNF]KDS-Zanza|66th: Given the most recent incident happening in the Delta, we taken the opportunity to gather our own information about current-
[08.01.2017 23:49:46] [KNF]KDS-Zanza|66th: events.

[08.01.2017 23:51:37] (SolarR[R]Spirit.Walker: less a war in some matter

[08.01.2017 23:53:38] (SolarR[R]Spirit.Walker: Ash: Burned to the ground? Are you suggesting there was orbital burning on a recently terraformed moon...?
[08.01.2017 23:53:57] [KNF]KDS-Zanza|66th: I mean the fate of that Battleship mentioned.

[09.01.2017 00:02:36] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: I hope you're not here to cause problems.

[09.01.2017 00:04:51] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: I've got an audio log here of you involved in an assault against a research vessel dubbed the Fionna, I believe.
[09.01.2017 00:04:56] Frontier: I: I knew that voice was familiar. The ship, not so much.
[09.01.2017 00:04:57] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: Care to clarify what happened?

[09.01.2017 00:06:00] Core|WV-Herschel: Jess: Was it this time, or last time there was Zoner trouble?
[09.01.2017 00:06:16] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: Fionna or Fianna, whichever one.
[09.01.2017 00:06:21] [KNF]KDS-Zanza|66th: Majin: Ah, you heard me? Well, might be true. However, if someone is making use of that information on purpose.
[09.01.2017 00:06:26] Core|WV-Herschel: Jess: Nope, nothing.
[09.01.2017 00:07:13] Core|WV-Herschel: Jess: Got something to jog my memory?
[09.01.2017 00:07:24] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: I believe your exact words were: "Not like anyone left in Sirius doesn't know my name."
[09.01.2017 00:07:30] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: Followed by: "Fire at will."
[09.01.2017 00:07:46] IRG|Quetzalcoatl: Sean: Certainly sounds like something she would say
[09.01.2017 00:07:56] Core|WV-Herschel: Jess: [She rubs her chin.] Let me run... Crouch-walk to the mess for some grub, and I'll see if that'll jog my memory.

[09.01.2017 00:08:34] IRG|Quetzalcoatl: Sean: I think she just told you she wasn't answering any of your questions, albit in a round about way
[09.01.2017 00:08:39] Core|WV-Herschel: Jess: [She sticks her head back in the bridge hatch, just in video-feed range.] Oh. That one.
[09.01.2017 00:09:06] Core|WV-Herschel: Jess: Yeah, I was definitely there for that. Give me a few... [The sound of someone's head smacking against the ceiling

[09.01.2017 00:11:34] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: Your version of events.

[09.01.2017 00:36:41] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: The situation was investigated and a statement made to the Confederation about the matter.
[09.01.2017 00:36:59] Core|WV-Herschel: Jess: Eugh, the Confederation...
[09.01.2017 00:37:14] IRG|Quetzalcoatl: Sean: Easy now, it has its place and purpose
[09.01.2017 00:37:15] Z)Elysana.Wayrest: "The confederation is slow."

[09.01.2017 00:37:35] Core|WV-Herschel: Jess: Is there a more bloated, bureaucratic system than the CoF?
[09.01.2017 00:37:39] A/)-ACV-Arktos: L: Yes.

[09.01.2017 00:41:53] RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: I'll have to keep an eye on this place more. Especially now that my former job is gone thanks to this ridiculous-

I will try to summarize some of the insights gleaned from this rather lengthy log.
- The independent battlegroup known as "Auxesia" is taking an active role in this conflict, in which they view themselves as "peacekeepers". Present on site were a former Core battlecruiser, an older model Liberty dreadnought, and several smaller vessels. Their relations with the Core seem to be somewhat ambiguous, and they hinted at conflict with the Order.
- Both them and at least some of the Zoners have suspicions that the Core is not in fact behind the NEMP bombing and suspect Nomad involvement.
- Outcast forces, including Casta's and possibly the Commune, have been attacking Zoner defenders and convoys.
- The Kusari Naval Forces have sent a battlecruiser of their 66th to investigate developments that have caught their attention.
- The Core have taken a less aggressive stance than during the last crisis. Unsurprising, considering they are surely aware the NEMP attack wasn't perpetrated by their own. However, their captain Jessebelle Fillian, notorious for her involvement in the previous crisis, freely admits an unprovoked attacked against a Zoner ship, so there is no doubt a solid basis for conflict even without the bombing.
I will commence my assignments at once, although I do have a question. When the time comes to release the rumor of the true attackers, is the objective simply to lower morale of Edge Worlds denizens, and to show their inability to protect themselves? Other than that, it would seem more beneficial to me to milk the intra-human conflict as much as possible.
Regardless, I will am preparing for both tasks. You should be able to contact me at any time.
