Firstly, I'd like to report a number of extortions. In Cortez system, a Colonial ship was carrying FloraGro and mentioned that they had quite a few dealings with the Order... Anyway, he eventually left to continue to his miserable settlement but with 1.5 millions less. [①②③④] A transport belonging to the primary branch of Kishiro and Gas Miners' Guild were extorted in Shikoku system. Interestingly enough Kishiro has dealings with the semi-Junkers of Tinkers' Haven. Apparently even for Kusarians idealism is just a nuisance when it comes to corporate profits. [①②③④⑤⑥] I also met a GC transport belonging to the Sisters of Light bringing H-fuel to Leiden. I asked her about the Sisterhood of Dreams in which she told me that they are more violent than their group. [①②]
Unofficial Directive
Any Operatives who intercept Colonial transports carrying FloraGro or any other terraforming commodities shall demand the entire cargo to be confiscated. Any setbacks on the terraforming project of Planet Yuma means that the nature there will have more time to reclaim its lost territory.
Back in Bretonia, I encountered an empty transport belonging to the 5th. As expected he immediately ordered his minions namely the Bretonian Armed Forces to assist him in which they did. So the transport managed to get away but at the expense of two BAF| fighters which were single-handedly destroyed by my bomber. [①②③] In southern Liberty I established contact with the a new Unioner group. They seem promising and they mentioned that they'd contact us. [①] Furthermore, the joint smuggling operation with the Silvereye Dragons was a total success. We transported VIPs from the Golden Dragon Casino up to Freeport 11 and then took Iridium on the way back. Fortunately we weren't harassed by the Core vessels in Omicron Delta. To summarize, this run was significant as it provided some rare commodities to our technicians in Leiden and it also gave birth to a new agreement with the Hogosha. [①②③④]
A few days later I had a second encounter with the new Unioner faction, in Texas this time. The transport was moving enslaved workforce from Liberty and their captain briefly told me about their current dealings. My coercion skills were good enough to learn that one of the first factions that they contacted were the Corsairs. He also reassured me that they are going to contact us... something which has not been done yet. [①②] The fabled ragged warriors of the Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army have made several desperate incursions into Magellan system the past few weeks. In both engagements we cleansed them from this world and made a service to humanity. [①②③④] I should also mention that the upstart civilian named SirLagsalot handed over to me the power cell and the nomad ammunition. They are now in Leiden's Interrogation. For his service, Professor Hunter prepared a very special date for him. [①②③] Furthermore, I intercepted a second time the 5th transport, this time carrying Furs for Planet Houston. The captain attempted to run which failed and when he realized that noone could save him in time, he wired two and a half milions to one of my bank accounts. [①②③] In Shikoku I also extorted a Borderworld Exports transport carrying Gold Ore. The captain on his heavily armored battletransport flirted with the idea of running to Deshima but was eventually dissuaded and paid up. [①②]
The past two weeks we have witnessed a rise in the activity of Liberty Navy's primary trade fleet. It is certainly attributed to the latest technological advancements. Of course we couldn't let this chance slip away so we hit them hard despite our numerical disadvantage and the heavy escort that their transports enjoyed. We were so successful that their Vice Admiral had to intervene in the end. Of course I couldn't let this chance go away, so I personally taunted the master naval puppet. [①②③] Anyway, a new branch of DSE has started doing business in Kansas and Humboldt systems. They lied to us about the location of their storage depot so we found it in the hard way. Unfortunately for them this impudence has so far costed them a transport and extortions accounting to a total of 12,800,000 SC. [①②③④⑤] Finally I made contact with a new Gallic Brigand group, the Golden Skull. As part of my effort to establish more informants within the GRN ranks, I am in need of three items and thus I hired the Skulls to find those for me. This mission also serves as a challenge for them in order to examine their efficiency. [①②③④⑤]
