Task Force Providence, you all most likely know me. After all, I have an annoying tendency to not shut up. Hunter chuckles.
Captain Cross of the Atum informs me most of your Task Force has already arrived onboard. I'd like to extend any and all help I can offer. Captain Cross will be happy to assist you any way he can.
Just let me know if there's something you need. I'll make it happen.
Good luck, Providence.

Admiral Hunter,
It's a pleasant surprise to hear from you, and I hope you still remember an Overwatch colleague. What Captain Cross informed you of is true, Task Force Providence has arrived Inverness with 80% of its assets, despite a few warships that we left with some escort wings in the Omicrons for the war effort against both of the Core and the Nomads.
We have only minor nomad incursions so far, which we obliterated in the process. However, the presence of Auxesia has been increasing in the system which puts our operations at risk. They are no different than the Core, admiral, people consumed by their lust for power and lost by illusions that they lost their sense of being. Their defeat is inevitable.
That said, we thank you for your offer of support and we offer ours in return. The Task Force is willing to lend a hand to the Primary Fleet when asked, and we hope for more cooperation in the future.
Regards,
Aoi Kunieda
Director, PCV-Providence
Task Force Providence
Aoi. I heard you hadn't quite taken the desk job offered. Didn't seem your style.
Ever since RED RIDING HOOD, when we took out the Coronado Gate, Nomad incursions have lessenew considerably. That corridor only stopped their overt forces, though. There are plenty of others we have no found yet.
As for Auxesia...well. That unsuccessful miscarriage of ideals has been a thorn in my side for a long time. I've lost good men to their blind faith in a psychopathic madwoman and their misguided crusade...whatever they even believe anymore.
Currently overt forces we must deal with mainky anymore Battlegroup Auxesia. Reports from EDGE indicate the Cincinnati returned to Liberty, meaning their fleet power is lessened. Duet the lack of sightings of it under the name Arktos, I believe the reports are valid.
Sightings of the Eidolon Wraith and their battleship "Andraste" have begun to diminish within the Liberty Theatre. This helps our recon flights.
Keep me updated. I'll pass on relevant information as I receive it.

Adressed to: Admiral Jeremy Hunter Sender: Director Aoi Kunieda Subject: Misconduct
Admiral Hunter,
We have had multiple contacts with Auxesia the past few days, all of which consisted of cheap baseless talk and cowardice actions, nothing unusual. Their warships have been sighted in the Inverness system alongside with the Amenhotep, the Navy Osiris.
However, that is not what I am contacting you about, admiral. Today at 1830, we received a distress call from agent Mark Smith from the Primary Fleet, claiming that he was getting fired upon by the Hellfire Legion and Auxesia in the Kansas star system. Upon arriving the scene with two of my operatives, we witnessed the Legion firing at the said agent. However, they retaliated as soon as we were in scanner range, offering a peaceful resolution. Subsequent to that, I was informed by the present legionnaires that your agent had trespassed through Commonwealth territory, trying to sneak through without advising or informing the Legionnaires of his movement, not to mention refusing to comply with the Legion's demands. What amused me the most were his irrelevant answers and explanations -- which you will be looking at in the attachment below.
That said, our fast response to the scenery allowed us to avoid a costly incident with the Hellfire Legion, or perhaps a war due to the incompetence and the misconduct of agent Smith. I sincerely hope that the agents will refrain from taking such risky and lackadaisical actions, especially with the escelating tensions between us and the Hellfire Legion. We may not always be there to save the day, Admiral Hunter.
Regards,
Code:
[14.03.2017 18:28:28] [HF]-Gamma.1: Providence vessels, this Order agent was discovered in Commonwealth space and failed to provide reason for his -
[14.03.2017 18:28:29] [HF]-Gamma.1: presence here.
[14.03.2017 18:28:36] [HF]-Gamma.1: I suggest you safe your weapons and we -talk-
[14.03.2017 18:28:49] <O>Kuchisake-onna;: That's why we're here, Legionnaire.
[14.03.2017 18:29:14] [HF]-Gamma.1: I say again, safe your weapons. We can talk this out.
[14.03.2017 18:29:19] <O>Ephyros: Can't believe you actually stopped shooting. Color me surprised.
[14.03.2017 18:29:20] Steve:Athanas: Thank god there's some sane pilots in the Order.
[14.03.2017 18:29:29] A/)-Seeker: <:: Questionable. ::>
[14.03.2017 18:29:32] <O>Zero: May I inquire as to why you didn't try to find a peaceful resolution sooner?
[14.03.2017 18:29:36] [HF]-Gamma.1: We did.
[14.03.2017 18:29:38] A/)-Seeker: <:: It failed. ::>
[14.03.2017 18:29:44] <O>Zero: And you have already inflicted damage to this Agent?
[14.03.2017 18:29:46] Order|Mark.Smith: Yea, with an Auxesian
[14.03.2017 18:29:48] [HF]-Gamma.1: This pilot was ordered to cut his engines numerous times and explain his presence.
[14.03.2017 18:29:48] Steve:Athanas: He refused to answer Gamma One's questions.
[14.03.2017 18:29:53] A/)-Seeker: <:: It returned fire. ::>
[14.03.2017 18:29:53] [HF]-Gamma.1: He silently fled, instead.
[14.03.2017 18:29:56] <O>Zero: Mr. Smith, may you tell us your story of events.
[14.03.2017 18:29:58] [HF]-Gamma.1: I have guncam footage if you need it.
[14.03.2017 18:30:14] A/)-Big.Bang: Hello.
[14.03.2017 18:30:14] A/)-Seeker: <:: This one opened fire first, technically. ::>
[14.03.2017 18:30:14] <O>Kuchisake-onna;: Was it you who issued the order or was it the Auxesians?
[14.03.2017 18:30:14] <O>Zero: So he was trying to leave? Didn't you say that's what you wanted anyway?
[14.03.2017 18:30:33] [HF]-Gamma.1: The Auxesians ordered him to wait and remain for myself or Athanas to arrive.
[14.03.2017 18:30:35] [HF]-Gamma.1: He fled instead.
[14.03.2017 18:30:38] [HF]-Gamma.1: Then engaged Lelantos.
[14.03.2017 18:30:42] <O>Ephyros: Interesting.
[14.03.2017 18:30:45] Order|Mark.Smith: Actually that Auxesian came after me, I knew more couldn't be far, you know since that's the way thing with them always are
[14.03.2017 18:30:45] [HF]-Gamma.1: Once I arrived, he fled again.
[14.03.2017 18:30:48] Order|Mark.Smith: So i made a run for it
[14.03.2017 18:30:48] Steve:Athanas: Only thing he could talk about was his state of the art ejection systems.
[14.03.2017 18:30:58] A/)-Seeker: <:: Curious, this one is a representative of their primary fleet, yet a non-established entity is representing them? ::>
[14.03.2017 18:31:17] <O>Zero: Well considering the amount of brazen attacks has made on the Order, both direct and indirect, even against us...
[14.03.2017 18:31:26] [HF]-Gamma.1: All I want is a reasonable explanation for his fighter's presence in Commonwealth space.
[14.03.2017 18:31:33] <O>Zero: It is somewhat understandable why Mr Smith would be so defensive.
[14.03.2017 18:31:39] [HF]-Gamma.1: Tensions with the Order have been high. We've ordered them to keep their ships out of here.
[14.03.2017 18:31:42] Order|Mark.Smith: Flying through? That enough?
[14.03.2017 18:31:47] <O>Kuchisake-onna;: I would leave that for the Primary to explain.
[14.03.2017 18:31:48] [HF]-Gamma.1: No, not particularly.
[14.03.2017 18:32:00] [HF]-Gamma.1: There are plenty of ways to get to Pennsylvania without going through Kansas.
[14.03.2017 18:32:00] <O>Zero: Legionnaire, I think it's a question of your dogs being far too vicious to a poor man who simply wanted to be left in peace.
[14.03.2017 18:32:01] A/)-Seeker: <:: Order ignorance has been noted previously with the CV-Spectre, an Overwatch vessel. ::>
[14.03.2017 18:32:11] [HF]-Gamma.1: My 'dogs' did not at any point engage, Zero.
[14.03.2017 18:32:14] <O>Kuchisake-onna;: That'd make more tension with the Order, I don't want that either.
[14.03.2017 18:32:20] [HF]-Gamma.1: Lelantos ordered him to halt and wait for -me-
[14.03.2017 18:32:23] [HF]-Gamma.1: Then he was fired upon.
[14.03.2017 18:32:26] Order|Mark.Smith: I was on Atum and I have some work in Liberty to do, quickest way through their defence is Kansas
[14.03.2017 18:32:27] <O>Zero: By who?
[14.03.2017 18:32:29] A/)-Lelantos: <:: /We/ only engaged in self-defense. Directives were to wait for local authorities. ::>
[14.03.2017 18:32:31] A/)-Seeker: <:: Inevitably, they attempt to incite violence once more. ::>
[14.03.2017 18:32:33] [HF]-Gamma.1: By Smith.
[14.03.2017 18:32:54] <O>Kuchisake-onna;: Lelantos is not a Legion individual, the Order has no reason to listen to Auxesia, Legionnaire.
[14.03.2017 18:32:55] A/)-Lelantos: <:: Situation was recorded. ::>
[14.03.2017 18:32:55] <O>Zero: I want to know the vessel that inflicted damage on Smith.
[14.03.2017 18:33:00] <O>Zero: Was it an Auxesian?
[14.03.2017 18:33:05] [HF]-Gamma.1: If the Order has work in Liberty, they can go via Cortez quite easily.
[14.03.2017 18:33:20] Order|Mark.Smith: And straight into California? In their hands?
[14.03.2017 18:33:20] A/)-Seeker: <:: Idiotic statement. They were forewarned that Legion were arriving. ::>
[14.03.2017 18:33:30] Order|Mark.Smith: Heh, i though you people would know such things
[14.03.2017 18:33:34] A/)-Big.Bang: Jumpholes exist for a reason.
[14.03.2017 18:33:40] [HF]-Gamma.1: Zero, most of the damage on Smith was inflicted by myself.
[14.03.2017 18:33:45] Order|Mark.Smith: You never said anything about Hellfire
[14.03.2017 18:33:52] [HF]-Gamma.1: A small portion was in self-defense by Lelantos.
[14.03.2017 18:33:53] A/)-Lelantos: <:: Locals. ::>
[14.03.2017 18:34:02] <O>Zero: Can we please limit this conversation to just humans, and not include 'State of the Edge' AI?
[14.03.2017 18:34:02] A/)-Lelantos: <:: This is Legion territory. The Overwatch is fully aware of that. ::>
[14.03.2017 18:34:09] [HF]-Gamma.1: Agreed, Auxesians.
[14.03.2017 18:34:12] <O>Ephyros: He has a point.
[14.03.2017 18:34:13] Order|Mark.Smith: Auxesians live here as well
[14.03.2017 18:34:16] [HF]-Gamma.1: Keep your AI silent for now.
[14.03.2017 18:34:18] A/)-Seeker: <:: Irrelevant. Your prejudice holds no bearing. ::>
[14.03.2017 18:34:27] A/)-Seeker: <:: Discrimination will /NOT/ be tolerated. ::>
[14.03.2017 18:34:33] <O>Zero: Didn't know machines even had nerves to hit.
[14.03.2017 18:34:37] [HF]-Gamma.1: // Agreed, Zero, even*
[14.03.2017 18:34:42] <O>Zero: You learn something everyday in this job.
[14.03.2017 18:34:51] <O>Zero: Anyway, back on topic.
[14.03.2017 18:35:03] <O>Kuchisake-onna;: Anyhow.
[14.03.2017 18:35:47] [HF]-Gamma.1: Smith, if you had business in Liberty's core systems, why did you not go via Cortez?
[14.03.2017 18:36:01] <O>Ephyros: I'm interested in hearing that one aswell.
[14.03.2017 18:36:04] [HF]-Gamma.1: You've also implied you flew through Vespucci itself.
[14.03.2017 18:36:14] [HF]-Gamma.1: As that is - to my knowledge - the only route between Inverness and here.
[14.03.2017 18:36:17] Order|Mark.Smith: I had buisness in Pennsylvania actually
[14.03.2017 18:36:29] [HF]-Gamma.1: Pennsylvania is considered one of Liberty's core worlds, last I checked.
[14.03.2017 18:36:34] [HF]-Gamma.1: That also evades the question.
[14.03.2017 18:36:36] [HF]-Gamma.1: Why not Cortez?
[14.03.2017 18:36:36] A/)-Seeker: <:: Alternative routes do exist. California has a Jumphole. ::>
[14.03.2017 18:36:52] Order|Mark.Smith: As i said, this way is both quicker and safer
[14.03.2017 18:36:58] [HF]-Gamma.1: No, it is not.
[14.03.2017 18:36:59] Steve:Athanas: Evidently not.
[14.03.2017 18:37:11] Order|Mark.Smith: Well except when you guys decide to step in
[14.03.2017 18:37:13] <O>Zero: thine archangel bastet appears
[14.03.2017 18:37:15] <O>Ephyros: if we can finish this without another shot being fired, by all means
[14.03.2017 18:37:18] [HF]-Gamma.1: You cannot be telling me that you're unaware of the stakes of starting a war between the Order and the Legion.
[14.03.2017 18:37:24] <O>Ephyros: but if we cant we either get tensions with HF or with order
[14.03.2017 18:37:30] [HF]-Gamma.1: You cannot tell me you did not know tensions are high.
[14.03.2017 18:37:38] <O>Zero: it was designed after my penis
[14.03.2017 18:37:42] <O>Kuchisake-onna;: That aside, Smith. Even if you had to pass through Vespucci, don't you think that contacting the Legion beforehand would be-
[14.03.2017 18:37:45] <O>Kuchisake-onna;: appropriate?
[14.03.2017 18:37:56] <O>Ephyros: exactly
[14.03.2017 18:38:06] Order|Mark.Smith: I'm not flying a damn Osiris am i?
[14.03.2017 18:38:12] <O>Ephyros: Doesn't matter.
[14.03.2017 18:38:14] <O>Kuchisake-onna;: You're still trespassing.
[14.03.2017 18:38:15] [HF]-Gamma.1: Irrelevant, given the situation.
[14.03.2017 18:38:18] A/)-Seeker: <:: Your arrogance is noted. ::>
[14.03.2017 18:38:29] <O>Kuchisake-onna;: If the Legionnaires came through Mu, wouldn't you have done the same?
[14.03.2017 18:38:35] <O>Ephyros: This doesn't look like it's going to fall in your favor, Smith.
[14.03.2017 18:38:57] Dexter.Cage: Golanski's puppets at their finest.
[14.03.2017 18:38:59] Order|Mark.Smith: Through Mu? Isn't that like way out of their way?
[14.03.2017 18:39:13] <O>Kuchisake-onna;: Hypothetically speaking.
[14.03.2017 18:39:22] <O>Ephyros: You're playing dumb.
[14.03.2017 18:39:26] <O>Ephyros: Stop.
[14.03.2017 18:39:32] <O>Zero: Let's not accuse anyone of being puppets here and remind ourselves we're all Order operatives in this scenario.
[14.03.2017 18:39:34] A/)-Big.Bang: Legionnaire, if it isn't obvious to you yet.
[14.03.2017 18:39:37] Dexter.Cage: I bet Golanski taught him that.
[14.03.2017 18:39:38] A/)-Big.Bang: This agent is an idiot.
[14.03.2017 18:39:49] <O>Kuchisake-onna;: Can we not?
[14.03.2017 18:39:53] A/)-Big.Bang: Why haven't you taken him into custody at a bare minimum.
[14.03.2017 18:40:00] [HF]-Gamma.1: Because I don't need a war.
[14.03.2017 18:40:00] <O>Ephyros: Yes, let's not.
[14.03.2017 18:40:06] A/)-Big.Bang: He's obviously stalling, or trying to work his way out.
[14.03.2017 18:40:08] <O>Zero: If you try and take him into custody, there will be problems.
[14.03.2017 18:40:15] A/)-Seeker: <:: Laws were broken. ::>
[14.03.2017 18:40:21] A/)-Seeker: <:: It is their issue for breaking it. ::>
[14.03.2017 18:40:31] A/)-Seeker: <:: You do not exist above the law. ::>
[14.03.2017 18:40:36] Order|Mark.Smith: *Sighs* Alright since i see no other way out of this, not a quick one and with no big problems at least
[14.03.2017 18:40:38] A/)-Seeker: <:: Know your place. ::>
[14.03.2017 18:40:40] Order|Mark.Smith: Here we go.
[14.03.2017 18:41:10] [HF]-Gamma.1: Elaborate, Smith.
[14.03.2017 18:41:16] [HF]-Gamma.1: 'Here we go?'
[14.03.2017 18:41:39] <O>Ephyros: Finger on the distruptor.
[14.03.2017 18:41:42] Order|Mark.Smith: I apologise for my actions, guess i thought a fighter quickly slipping through wouldn't make much problems
[14.03.2017 18:41:48] Dexter.Cage: I don't know anyone else in Aux who would dare to fly a Marlin with 2.00s
[14.03.2017 18:41:49] <O>Ephyros: Pathetic.
[14.03.2017 18:41:49] Order|Mark.Smith: So
[14.03.2017 18:42:03] <O>Kuchisake-onna;: Hush. Ephyros.
[14.03.2017 18:42:10] <O>Ephyros: My apologies.
[14.03.2017 18:42:55] [HF]-Gamma.1: Your apology is noted and will be taken into consideration when contacting Order Overwatch, Smith.
[14.03.2017 18:43:14] <O>Kuchisake-onna;: Right.
[14.03.2017 18:43:19] A/)-Big.Bang: Do you have any spine?
[14.03.2017 18:43:26] <O>Zero: Are we done here then?
[14.03.2017 18:43:29] [HF]-Gamma.1: Athanas, fall in. Providence vessels, we're going to see him out to Pennsylvania.
[14.03.2017 18:43:36] <O>Ephyros: Interesting.
[14.03.2017 18:43:36] [HF]-Gamma.1: You're free to accompany us if you wish.
[14.03.2017 18:43:46] <O>Zero: I think we'd rather take custody?
[14.03.2017 18:43:50] <O>Kuchisake-onna;: We were planning to do it ourselves.
[14.03.2017 18:44:04] [HF]-Gamma.1: That's fine, but not via Vespucci.
[14.03.2017 18:44:07] <O>Ephyros: Of course.
[14.03.2017 18:44:13] <O>Zero: Very well.
[14.03.2017 18:44:14] [HF]-Gamma.1: Pennsylvania is the quickest way out.
[14.03.2017 18:44:18] [HF]-Gamma.1: I'd appreciate it if you took it.
[14.03.2017 18:44:29] <O>Kuchisake-onna;: We will.
[14.03.2017 18:44:33] <O>Ephyros: We weren't planning to venture into your home, worry not.
[14.03.2017 18:44:56] <O>Zero: Let us depart then.
[14.03.2017 18:45:01] [HF]-Gamma.1: We'll still see you to the jumphole.
[14.03.2017 18:45:11] Steve:Athanas: Formed on your wing.
[14.03.2017 18:45:11] [HF]-Gamma.3: *Yawns*
[14.03.2017 18:45:13] <O>Kuchisake-onna;: Very well. Set course to the Pennsylvania jump hole.
[14.03.2017 18:45:31] [HF]-Gamma.1: Providence vessels, which one of you is in command here?
[14.03.2017 18:45:39] <O>Kuchisake-onna;: That would be me.
[14.03.2017 18:45:49] [HF]-Gamma.1: What's your rank, Kuchisake-san?
[14.03.2017 18:46:12] <O>Kuchisake-onna;: I would be the Director.
[14.03.2017 18:46:24] <O>Ephyros: Gamma, care to fly in a straight line?
[14.03.2017 18:46:42] [HF]-Gamma.1: I wasn't aware you were following us.
[14.03.2017 18:46:44] <O>Zero: Apparently, the Kanas system can mess with navigation equipment.
[14.03.2017 18:47:00] [HF]-Gamma.3: Ey there. Sorry for the lateness. *Yawns*
[14.03.2017 18:47:26] [HF]-Gamma.1: I appreciate your assistance in de-escalating the situation, Director.
Aoi Kunieda
Director, PCV-Providence
Task Force Providence
Smith is our...greenest recruit. Mistakes will happen. I thank you for de-escalating the situation and avoiding...worse diplomatic relations. I already walk a thin line.
Reading the logs, I can see that Auxesia decided to barely fulfill any duties they have in Kansas. "Wait for the locals." Such a joke, with Kansas one of the wildest systems in Sirius..
Anyways. I guess I owe you on. Drinks on Atum are on me, Aoi.
Be safe.
