Good Evening,

After my successful escape I have been working on earning some small credits moving Cardimine shipments between the Rogues and the men of Mactan. With the credits I have earned so far, I have been able to fix up my "Bactrian" to a more suitable level in case any problems arise while moving more shipments.

Today however, while I was traversing through New York, I came upon Mr. Ambrose, who seemed to be on patrol. I decided to assist him in his endeavors of extortion, but we had very little luck in finding anything of note, until a Universal Falcon, callsign "TCL|Sentinel-2" fell in front of us. After being down on my luck I took the opportunity to vaporize the corporate lacky and from there headed back to Mactan. Due to my actions I believe I have met the criteria for Determination.

Due to the increase in Cardamine trade currently, I deployed into space in the Badlands, finding a Rogue Scylla. They informed me of a fire going down in California which I swiftly went towards.

A rogue was engaged by bounty hunters and police units, with disruptors fired at me as soon as I arrived. Interestingly, I also noticed a Xeno engaging the bounty hunter yet leaving the rogue alone. More rogues arrived to assist in the brawl and the foes began to drop one by one. The Xeno left peacefully after the bounty hunter was killed.

Ingeniousness

Interestingly during the fight and afterwards, I noticed one of the rogues having one of our ships. Knowing how we are with our technology I figured I should submit a notification of it. Details can be found in the Mission Archives.

Enlightenment

"Shigeakiki"

A stimulant substance provided for us by the Gen'an cell of the Golden Chrysanthemums. Following the description provided by Ikeda Yume a Gen'an member.

Quote:t is a combat stimulant that temporarily increases the capabilities of the uses. Among its effects are increased adrenalin levels, heightened senses, and the suppression of pain and emotions. All effects last roughly an hour.

Shigeakiki also has some minor and more serious side effects. Let's start with the major side effects. this stimulant puts a big strain on the body, so excessive use can lead to neurological damage and heart failure. This is why restraint is necessary while using it. We recommend taking at least 8 days between each dose. Cardamine is an ingredient in the mixture, so addiction to it is a second side effect. We added that as a security measure in case a shipment gets captured. Another minor side effect is because it stimulates the nervous system to heighten the senses, that light sensitivity is a real issue. Most uses require darkened visors to not be burdened by the light.

Testphase:

Following the "instructions" I took two units of "Shigeakiki" with me around Liberty - I couldn't test it with regular pilots I had to search for someone who would be more than equal to me which isn't that easy. However, I gave up looking for a stronger opponent and simply tested the substance in a situation against the odds. The first fight was easy and the adrenaline kick felt very exciting and good - returning to Buffalo my body calmed down and I had the feeling of faint. I saw this just as a 'first-time' side effect and gave it two other attempts. After the second one, my body adapted more or less to the side effects and I had no troubles after using it, however as Ikeda Yume mentioned 'light' was an issue my eyes were simply overloaded by the simple light sources inside the station and it kinda felt like back in the day when I was just starting to consume Synthetic Marijuana. The third test was a bit more interesting, I am not a doctor or a scientist but my body was quite sore after the flight and I had trouble with my attentiveness. After landing on Buffalo apparently, I passed out and I woke up in the medical station. I think that my body is simply too 'old' or already used up by my regular consumption of Cardamine and other 'hardcore' drugs.

Conclusion:

After testing "Shigeakiki" I came to the conclusion that it will be best for us that we do not rely too much on combat stimulants or 'boosters'. I agree that the substance has its benefits but the amount of time between every single dose is too large as it would be commonly used by any Warfare operator as we have to operate to the highest of our capabilities all the time and a 'boost' every eight days is not really a bonus. I think we won't need it and I think Warfare Professor Wolfe will agree with me on this case.

Outcome: I will set up a message to the Gen'an Chrysanthemums and explain how and why the Lane Hackers at least the inner circle will not use Shigeakiki and we will refrain from ordering more of it.

This is all for now.

Good evening.

I have been enjoying a drink on Mactan, when I got a small little notification by our Spyglass Network about increased movements by various entities around Hudson. Took a trip down to Texas, reminded me about the chaos surrounding Bering I've read about in our database.
With the Rheinland Civil War over and everything, I got curious what the Unioners - seeing as they were once something like a business partner to us - were up to.

Long story short: I've made my way to Bering and stumbled upon a "Hel"-class Cruiser in close proximity to Pacifica.
Turns out the good sir on the other end was more than willing to tell me how the Unioners have fared since Gunda Rhiel disappeared.
Briefly said, their new leadership was even more incompetent and at some point around the end of the Rheinland Civil War signed a letter of forgiveness offered to the Unioner movement by the Rheinland Government. Consequentially, they appear to have lost or disassembled all of their warships of Rheinland Military origin. Furthermore, the movement crumbled into splinter groups. The commanding officer of the "UN]-Black.Arrow" is the new Direktor - namely a certain James Hollywood - of a group that refused the truce with the Rheinland authorities and engages into their usual activities of the pre civil war era.
For a detailed conversation log, please look at the attached file.
I feel like this meeting here - given our current hostile stance towards the Unioner movement - can be seen as valid fulfillment of the Espionage criteria.

Mister Hollywood showed interest in re-establishing contact with the Lane Hackers and the Professorship.
If the Professorship deems me worthy, I wish to request to handle this matter personally in pursue of fulfilling both the Barter and Diplomacy - or in case the Professorship does not wish to re-establish contact with the Unioners on a business level - in pursue of the Subterfuge and Infiltration criteria.

A meeting with the new Direktor of the Unioners.
