Gentlemen.
Flying a mission out in Rheinland. I've had several reports from some of my contacts that there have been new jump hole connections forming in the middle of the Liberty and Rheinland war zones. I can confirm that there is indeed a new anomaly in New Hampshire. It appears to end in a dark matter cloud that matches my previous scans of the Ellesmere cloud composition. I don't know if either side has flight paths into or out of the jump hole yet. I have started salvage operations in the area, looking for black boxes in order to determine the flight paths. Rheinland could gain an upper hand in the war by suddenly having deep Omicron access and access to LSF research stations. Suggest keeping an eye on the situation.
Also, I met up with Bundschuh VWA Klugmann in Bremen. He agreed to help me search for black boxes in the area. Additionally, Klugmann sent me copies of flight data concerning steadily increasing activity on Bremerhaven. Currently the planet has some form of sensor disruption grid set up around it, close range fly by scans haven't been able to give me anything of worth. Suggest keeping an eye on Bremerhaven.
Finally, and perhaps most urgently... the VWA have agreed to assist us with our current supply issues with out Freeport access blocked. Cooperatively with the LWB, they are going to be able to at least assist with potential food issues in the Omicrons. Klugmann has asked for a proper list of supplies be drawn up, personally I am suggesting this be done as soon as possible. Have the quartermasters do another inventory, then make up a list of our needed food, medical, fuel, repair equipment, and munitions. Klugmann also suggested that he would be able to help swing some of the Rheinland blackmarket in our favor and assist with smuggling operations, but we are not sure where this will go just yet. Either way, we will need to get some transports ready, either our own marked ones or rig up some basic ships with Freelance merchant papers. The VWA have offered their pilots as escort craft in Rheinland, but did warn us that if we mark our ships with Freelancer IFFs there is a chance that the Hessians or Unioners could see them as targets. I have to agree with Klugmann on this one.
