Upon completion of the Notoriety criterion, I received new instructions from Mr. Weisen. Immediately after, I launched from Mactan on a recon mission, and soon I was intercepted by a lone Hellfire Legion Very Heavy Fighter. After a futile attempt of coercing the pilot, hostilities transpired. I laid out a veritable carpet of mines before literally running him over. Soon thereafter the Archer-class Siege Cruiser [HF]-HFC-Excalibur and its commanding officer, Sahega, attempted to lure me into a crudely devised trap, pitting me against one of their presumably elite pilots. I decided to abscond with the scans intact.
[28.09.2016 13:41:05] LH~Mactan.Interceptor: Hello Interruptor Zorin, Wolfgang Weisen here.
[28.09.2016 13:41:14] [Redacted]: Greetings, Herr Weisen
[28.09.2016 13:41:30] LH~Mactan.Interceptor: Here is your identity.
[28.09.2016 13:41:49] [Redacted]: Thank you.
[28.09.2016 13:41:53] LH~Mactan.Interceptor: Roger
[28.09.2016 13:42:43] LH~Mactan.Interceptor: Take care
[28.09.2016 13:58:40] LH~Max.Zorin: Hmm, I thought I saw one of you Legionnaires
[28.09.2016 13:58:52] [HF]-Lonestar: Youve seen right
[28.09.2016 13:59:13] LH~Max.Zorin: So where is your mighty navy?
[28.09.2016 13:59:39] [HF]-Lonestar: The navy isnt here apparently
[28.09.2016 13:59:57] LH~Max.Zorin: So just a Hacker and a Legionnaire, all by themselves. Interesting...
[28.09.2016 14:00:09] [HF]-Lonestar: Kind of.
[28.09.2016 14:00:30] LH~Max.Zorin: You know the organization I represent can reward a pilot like you in ways you cannot even dream of?
[28.09.2016 14:00:50] [HF]-Lonestar: If id be after money Id work for Interspace.
[28.09.2016 14:00:58] LH~Max.Zorin: *Laughs*
[28.09.2016 14:01:10] LH~Max.Zorin: I don't mean mere credits. We can offer you *anything*
[28.09.2016 14:01:17] LH~Max.Zorin: A new life. A new future. A new past, even.
[28.09.2016 14:01:55] [HF]-Lonestar: Im fine with the present to be honest. And my commander told me to put you out. So Ill follow his orders.
[28.09.2016 14:02:09] [HF]-Lonestar: I guess you should get ready
[28.09.2016 14:02:12] LH~Max.Zorin: Ahh, you choose a fast demise I see! On your guard then.
[28.09.2016 14:22:36] Death: [HF]-Lonestar was put out of action by LH~Max.Zorin (Collision).
[28.09.2016 14:24:15] 2016-09-28 14:24:42 SMT Traffic control alert: LH~Max.Zorin has requested to dock
[28.09.2016 14:34:50] [HF]-HFC-Excalibur: Sahega: Keep your distance, little hacker.
[28.09.2016 14:35:06] LH~Max.Zorin: That is a mighty ship
[28.09.2016 14:35:28] LH~Max.Zorin: *Scanning vessel*
[28.09.2016 14:35:35] [HF]-HFC-Excalibur: Sahega: The Excalibur is a fine ship, yes. Captured under Joyeuse' reign, along with the Damocles.
[28.09.2016 14:35:50] [HF]-HFC-Excalibur: Sahega: Scan away. It's a siege cruiser. Nothing out of the ordinary.
[28.09.2016 14:36:21] LH~Max.Zorin: It is out of the ordinary to see you out in force like this. I saw a fighter of yours earlier too.
[28.09.2016 14:36:32] [HF]-HFC-Excalibur: Sahega: That is none of your concern.
[28.09.2016 14:37:04] [HF]-HFC-Excalibur: Sahega: About time.
[28.09.2016 14:37:09] LH~Max.Zorin: A trap!
[28.09.2016 14:37:18] [HF]-HFC-Excalibur: Sahega: You don't say.
[28.09.2016 14:37:21] LH~Max.Zorin: *Laughs*
[28.09.2016 14:37:38] [HF]-Gamma.3: Lancaster: Looks like the problem just solved itself.

I later ventured into Bretonia to pursue the Awareness criterion, and I came across a solitary BAF| ensign. After threats of violence, I can conclude that he was not knowledgeable of Armed Forces intelligence regarding neither Gallia nor the recent surge in alien activity per se. Instead the ensign told me a personal experience of his encounter with allusive mediums known as 'Oracles'. Unfortunately our parley was interrupted by a Bretonian Carrier before I could further pick the ensign's brain.
[28.09.2016 15:45:48] LH~Max.Zorin: Oh hello
[28.09.2016 15:45:54] Jump systems recharging. Charging complete in 7 seconds.
[28.09.2016 15:47:25] LH~Max.Zorin: So ensign, any reports of Gallic activity lately?
[28.09.2016 15:47:43] BAF|Ens.Victor_Steiner: Not that i am aware of
[28.09.2016 15:47:51] LH~Max.Zorin: I assume that is what you are doing out here, all alone. Scouting for Gallics?
[28.09.2016 15:49:04] LH~Max.Zorin: If I didn't know any better, I'd say you are running from me. I merely want to talk
[28.09.2016 15:49:19] BAF|Ens.Victor_Steiner: I am sorry
[28.09.2016 15:49:26] BAF|Ens.Victor_Steiner: not running, searching
[28.09.2016 15:49:30] LH~Max.Zorin: I urge you to comply. Halt your ship
[28.09.2016 15:49:35] LH~Max.Zorin: And let us have a talk
[28.09.2016 15:49:38] BAF|Ens.Victor_Steiner: A corsair
[28.09.2016 15:49:49] LH~Max.Zorin: I see
[28.09.2016 15:49:58] LH~Max.Zorin: Well I have you where I want you now, Ensign
[28.09.2016 15:50:28] LH~Max.Zorin: How is life as an ensign? It must be very tough, all those orders you have to follow...
[28.09.2016 15:50:49] BAF|Ens.Victor_Steiner: What of them i volunteered
[28.09.2016 15:51:18] LH~Max.Zorin: I see, a proud soldier of the Queen. I like that
[28.09.2016 15:51:24] LH~Max.Zorin: Anyhow
[28.09.2016 15:51:34] BAF|Ens.Victor_Steiner: What is that you want?
[28.09.2016 15:51:39] LH~Max.Zorin: The organization I represent could use someone on the 'inside' like you...
[28.09.2016 15:52:03] BAF|Ens.Victor_Steiner: that so
[28.09.2016 15:52:04] BAF|Ens.Victor_Steiner: ?
[28.09.2016 15:52:09] LH~Max.Zorin: You let us know if there are any *unusual* occurences. Gallics and Nomads in particular...
[28.09.2016 15:52:17] LH~Max.Zorin: Do this, and I won't destroy your ship today
[28.09.2016 15:52:41] BAF|Ens.Victor_Steiner: Well....the BAF is finding allies of all sorts nowadays
[28.09.2016 15:53:12] LH~Max.Zorin: You can find friends in all sorts of places, ensign
[28.09.2016 15:53:40] BAF|Ens.Victor_Steiner: Thats all well and good but....What do I get out of it. I am, after all, sticking my neck out.
[28.09.2016 15:54:00] LH~Max.Zorin: You get to keep your ship, rather than suffer the cold of an emergency pod
[28.09.2016 15:54:12] BAF|Ens.Victor_Steiner: That right?
[28.09.2016 15:54:20] LH~Max.Zorin: Indeed
[28.09.2016 15:54:34] BAF|Ens.Victor_Steiner: I have spoken to nomads
[28.09.2016 15:54:39] BAF|Ens.Victor_Steiner: Oracles
[28.09.2016 15:54:43] BAF|Ens.Victor_Steiner: and the infected
[28.09.2016 15:54:47] LH~Max.Zorin: Oracles? Tell me more
[28.09.2016 15:55:00] BAF|Ens.Victor_Steiner: why? You threated to kill me just now
[28.09.2016 15:55:26] LH~Max.Zorin: Well...
[28.09.2016 15:55:46] LH~Max.Zorin: I tend to fight more than talk
[28.09.2016 15:55:57] BAF|Ens.Victor_Steiner: then you and I are one of the same
[28.09.2016 15:55:58] LH~Max.Zorin: Forgive me
[28.09.2016 15:56:11] LH~Max.Zorin: Aha
[28.09.2016 15:56:19] BAF|Ens.Victor_Steiner: nothing to forgive. Just idle chatter
[28.09.2016 15:56:32] BAF|Ens.Victor_Steiner: But the Oracles
[28.09.2016 15:56:42] BAF|Ens.Victor_Steiner: strange is how i would describe them
[28.09.2016 15:57:06] LH~Max.Zorin: Can you clarify?
[28.09.2016 15:57:41] BAF|Ens.Victor_Steiner: They think themselves bridge between humanity and the nomads
[28.09.2016 15:57:41] LH~Max.Zorin: What made them 'strange'?
[28.09.2016 15:57:46] LH~Max.Zorin: I see
[28.09.2016 15:58:12] LH~Max.Zorin: And what is the name of this 'oracle' you spoke to?
[28.09.2016 15:58:26] Cannich_Aux_CAR.01: Greetings Freelancer
[28.09.2016 15:58:49] Cannich_Aux_CAR.01: Everything alright here Ens.Steiner?
[28.09.2016 15:58:49] BAF|Ens.Victor_Steiner: Her name escapes me at this point in time. Marie? or Maria?
[28.09.2016 15:58:55] BAF|Ens.Victor_Steiner: one of those.
[28.09.2016 15:58:59] LH~Max.Zorin: Hmm. I suppose I should make haste
[28.09.2016 15:59:12] BAF|Ens.Victor_Steiner: indeed. Fare thee well
[28.09.2016 15:59:15] LH~Max.Zorin: Thank you for the information
