⫸ This is Squadron Lead 'Noth-1'. Active deployment period has begun as requested by the Altair Administration. You are hereby notified that Kaarst Drydock is to receive two batches of Hybridized Equipment (600 Units) for the maintenance of valuable assets, such as the repair of six 90-ARKM-N9 "Valkyrie" Rheinland Very Heavy Fighters. Codename 'Tixtla' is currently recovering the bodies to speed up the rejuvenation procedures. Noth-3 and Noth-7 are currently tasked with harvesting organic materials that may have strayed from the battlefield. Those who failed today will yet serve a purpose.
A reply to this matter is optional, but recommended should you require more aid than what Altair Research Complex has set out to provide.

Noth Squadron,
There will soon be an opportunity for you to aid us. In due time, an ambush in Omega-3 shall be sprung. The target is a convoy that must be stopped, and the vessels captured. We need them intact. Send a few of your squadron to assist where possible, subdue or slaughter anything that resists. The only objective that matters is the transports. Once secured, they shall be brought to deeper Omegas, to Kaarst.
Deep within our more guarded places, a simple transponder replacement will be in order, simply to be recognised by our own, and not viewed as a threat to our masters home world. Report your success in aid, and the next stage shall be provided. Handle this with care, Unwanted attention is not desirable. Alerting either authorities will do us no favours.
⫸ Sound tactic, sir. I only wish I could spare the resources you ask for at this time. Previous events such as the assault on Heaven's Gate and incursions in the Omicron Zeta system have stretched us thin for the time being. I can spare you Noth-7 or 'Acapulco'. One has recently returned from Tohoku alive and showed admirable performance, while the other can aid in boarding these transports with our marauders - post-ambush, to clarify. Both of them are yours to make use of as you please.

Noth squadron,
From the report that ended up on my desk, and the lack of casualties to report, it would be safe to assume that the operation went well enough. Suspicion is likely rising. Pushing Bretonia does not align with our current interests, but feel free to exploit this opportunity.
In time there will be another operation. One transport eludes us. Details will be forwarded when the time comes.
⫸ Bretonia is not within the scope of Noth's interests at this time. Stockton Depot requires minimal logistical support, since the installation is largely self-sufficient with the help of consistent raids carried out around the Nomad City.
What happened in Omega-3 was not done with the intent to disobey direct orders, but rather streamline the operation and prevent suspicion from building up over time. It could have gotten much worse, had the second Police Officer arrived from Sprague. I am glad it didn't.
For the time being, Noth Squadron will only be able to provide assistance within Rheinland and The Omicrons. Our Advisor requested we act as bodyguards for Altair Research Complex, because of The Order's recent activities.
