Meeting with Coalition in New Tokyo was quite impressive, but boring and took hours! High Command of two organizations was talking about things where I am not really competent so mostly I was silent and rarely inserted small phrases. Two hours later ton of agreements and excursion I've got a message from Drake about the current situation in Omicron Delta. So I reported to colonel Parothia and went to Carthage to decrypt Miles's message.
Nothing unusual, there were no attacks today.
I breathed out relaxedly and was getting ready to depart to the Gallia. I can say nothing about the trip to Omicron Beta, so I just docked to battleship Amenta to fill fuel tanks at maximum, because I forgot to do this on Carthage. Well, it's time to begin.
Oh god, I hate minefields! Especially between Omicron Tau and Lorraine. Corridors are very tight and inattentive pilots may be stuck in mines with ease. Anyway, I successfully overcame that unpleasant obstacle and contacted the closest gallic station just behind the minefield to contact commandant Vaillant eventually.
An hour later I've started to learn systems around. The Gallia looked interesting but quite unfamiliar and...yes, you might be right, I've lost between three pines and entered dense cloud in Dauphine system. Nearby Union Corse station operator suggested to me, where to fly to leave the system. Along the way, I've discovered jumphole remains, but I couldn't use it, because it was absolutely unstable and dangerous.
In the next system named Languedoc I faced GMS transport and tried to ask him, what is Enclave and where are they usually located. He explained little about them, but pretty enough to follow hot traces.
Brittany? Aquitaine? I never heard about them before! But things were more simple than I expected - just update your navmap and get new system and object names conversion. I wonder, what these systems are?
The Hebrides. What a weird name for systems I am looking for. And real entrance should be located somewhere in Taus if I remember this place correctly.
A proper jumphole was existing not too far from the Languedoc jumpgates. By the way, I noticed, Gallia made complete tradelane connections to Tau-31.
Okay now, Brittany. Wait, isn't it Orkney? And it looks empty - no patrols around. No even single outcast or crayterian. I've decided to launch a cloaking device and hide in a nearby asteroid field to determine, what do I do next. Under cloak I remembered if this is really old Orkney, I could reach a jumphole to Edinburgh or Aquitaine if the map doesn't lie to me, so after long way I found a very old jumphole under Gallic station guard. I didn't try to risk and contact them, but just entered jumphole.
Now Aquitaine. And I did right to enter the system under the cloak, because Gallic patrols just showed up in multiple numbers. Signatures were shown as different from known Confederal pilots. There are could be Enclave patrol. I've decided to try to establish contact with one of them. And, unfortunately, he was not as peaceful as I expected. So while his attention been distracted, I've launched cruise engines and cloaking device and escaped towards Tau-31 jumphole.
I won't say much here unless I've met rare patrols and very odd system-wide radiotransmission:

I'd assume that guy tried to mention me...Honestly, they look pretty aware who we are, so I have to be more careful than usual. Another trick with pretending to be Junker won't work anymore.
But in general, everything were okay. Just smuggling Hogosha transport in the south part of the system, nothing unusual.
.
Where are they? I mean, Enclave. Brittany looks depopulated, I didn't meet a single person around there unless small Enclave group which was patrolling in the D'Amour asteroid field. And they've got intercepted by Gaian patrol! So, they are considering Enclave as hostile like the current Confederacy. Well, I should not be so surprised since Enclave captured Gaia and the only god knows what have they done with this planet.
Maybe, asking Gaians about them isn't the worst option.
They are fighting for the planet's freedom. We're fighting for mankind. And we are both outlawed. We are anti-citizens.
So, what we have now? I'll begin my short from the point where I had to sit on the Freeport Monte Carlo for at least 4 days. Of course, you'll ask, what happened. Nothing unusual just malfunctioned engines. That problem enforced me to do make a stop in Provence. On the fifth day, I received a message from Drake about Loyola - his people found her near Freeport 11 and opened fire. But unfortunately, her guardsmen worked well and Velvet wants to get a proof about infestation. Goddamn, if no one read this, why public list of infectees exists?
A couple of days ago I had a meeting with our gunboat Amunet led by Tereshkova crew, but Alisa herself has been on the New Paris surface with...OCI agents. Wait, what? What the hell she was doing there with them and few frozen nomad remains?? I've ordered her people to save her in any way if all thing goes wrong, but I am still worrying.
But the last news from the dragons just flipped my imaginations - Gen'an declared war towards them. Each Overwatch member got a distress message about attack on the Kyoto. I wonder, what High Command intends to do now.
Oh wait, 48 hours of no-attack have been passed, and I have to contact Velvet for results.
