Things have been idle within the training sessions, but when flying solo around Mu, several things have uh...happened. The first, being an Other appearing before me, smaller than a 'Purifier' but similar in power, much like a lesser mindnode. Anyway, uh...the Other attempted to extend the 'gift' of making me a Follower, and was then attacked by the gunboat patrols that return to Thebes. It retreated after considerable damage.
The second matter is a member of the secondary fleets approached me after a training course, claiming to have a tip about the Corsair Naval Fleets preparing to stage an attack on the Maltese within Alpha. While I doubt this mans claims, uh, it might be worth looking into.
