TO: Brother Junius FROM: SCEC SC agent: Ivan Norovich RE: A matter of forms. Encryption:<Heuristic Encryption Protocol V.01>
Thank you for hearing me out brother Junius.
What I have to say could have me executed if others were to find me out, so for the sake of security answer me this time with a simple yes or no without other details. If your answer is satisfactory, I will make preparations for a meeting.
I want you to think well before you answer and tell me, does "Kessereya" rings you any bells? Does it sound known to you? At all?
You are hereby named as Seeker, for you seek the truth in places where few would dare to endeavor out of fear of oppression and retaliation from others.
'Kessereya' is what mortals call a great spirit. I suspect you two had an encounter?
There is so much you need to know... things that no one told you about. Perhaps a meeting in person would be better. I do not wish to put you into needless danger. How does Freeport 10 sound?
I am sending to you the data you managed to uncover from the destroyed transport along with the cardamine and a few dozen Outcast crew survivors.

DAY 3
We reached Omicron Sigma after our departure from Planet Malta. Upon the completion of the 72 hours we were finally allowed to break the seals of the letters containing our orders. In the documents we received the instructions to reach Omicron Mu and meet with the Order ship in a predetermined location. We also received codes so that our hosts confirm our identities and finally the coordinates of our RV point. The letter was stamped with the Contari familia heraldry.
DAY 4
During the midday inspection a member of the crew approached me and requested to meet me privately. She revealed herself as Lady Veracruz and gave me another letter with more instructions. Apparently I am to follow her instructions since she will be our negotiator during the meeting with the Order. The raw and liquid cardamine cargo is a gift to the Order, she said, which supports our secret relationship. She then ordered me to not reveal any of this to anyone outside the Council.
DAY 5
We had to change course after a sizeable Corsair convoy was identified traversing towards Planet Akabat. Our ship is still visibly displaying its National Council colors so we carefully remained within the asteroid field and waited until we were outside of their scanner range. We are now briefly in Omicron Delta for re-fueling before approaching Mu from the southern side. Our Order contacts will not be pleased with the delay.
DAY 6
A Coalition Destroyer is on our tail for the past 30 minutes and closing in. How would they know of our route? Veracruz demanded to use one of the escape pods but I refused. We will contact the -----------DATA TOO DAMAGED TO READ
