Good day!
The Leviathan just completed the third of three Hull Segment runs down to Tsukihime Bastion in the Kepler system. The first two runs were completed alongside the Runs Like Hell, and the third we completed alone. All three deliveries were completed without incident, but I don't think I'll be accepting this particular contract again. I know our allies asked us to do it, but the run isn't terribly profitable, and the area around Ames is just a bit too hot for my liking at this point. I'll leave this one to other pilots a bit less risk-averse. This ship is a bit better suited to passenger runs anyway.
On the way back from Kepler on all three trips, we carried Counterfeit Software from Ames up to Freeport 10. On the final run out, we were accosted by a Liberty Navy pilot, named Frank Burnet, outside Ames who took exception to our choice of cargo. I attempted to talk my way out of it, but I couldn't convince him to allow us to leave, despite pointing out that our cargo was legal at both ends of the trip. I was at least able to convince him to allow us to return to Ames and refund the cargo.
I considered laying over at Ames, but given the current situation, I felt it prudent to be away from Kepler at the earliest opportunity. To that end, we left Ames immediately after offloading our software and proceeded directly to Roppongi Station in Kusari to pick up passengers.
One further addendum. I have ordered Administrator Bloggs down at Eureka to switch to a Bretonian food distributor on Cambridge instead of purchasing more expensive Synth Paste from a Zoner middleman. Yes, Administrator, I'm aware that you think that Bretonian food is, and I quote, "fucking disgusting" and "it tastes like something that came out of the north end of a south-bound bull". Too bad. Your guests will appreciate the familiar food, and your poor taste is not worth blowing a large portion of the station's budget over.

ORAD is pleased to announce that the Thanatos-O-class heavy cruiser with the registration OCS-OF-11 Unforgiven is near completion. Regulatory agencies are being contacted for approval of the ship's transponder systems, to comply with all international treaties regarding lawful and quasi-lawful warships. I'm sure Taskmaster Kane would have liked to make this announcement himself, but as he is currently out on business, I would like to congratulate Taskmaster Rodney Miller for being named the commanding officer of the Unforgiven. Try not to scratch the paint in the first two weeks, Rod.

TaskMasters,
I have attached my ships recording system to show you what transpired in Tau 44 this night. It seems I came across an Outcast Deserter who is opposed to Malta and has an organization dedicated to the National Councils Downfall. His name is Samuel Lozoya and his organization is the Maltese Oppostion Armoy. I know we have a ties with Malta but what are our orders when dealing with Maltese Deserters who are actively opposing the National Council? This new group could cause issues for us in the future.

All pilots, please monitor the situation with this newest batch of Maltese rebels. really, again? what is with these people and civil wars
Standard orders apply: downplay our friendliness to Malta, that's a diplomatically difficult subject. Get what information you can, but don't push further than you're comfortable with - we don't want to be too obvious about pumping them for information.
To answer your question, Bombardier, Crayter had taken an interest in the last batch of Maltese rebels. This complicates our position significantly. You handled the situation well. Be cautious. Make no offers of support. If support is requested, inform them that it needs to be directed to leadership.
At which point... Kane, we'll need to work that out. Hopefully we have more information on them before that happens.

Joey Bloggs here,
I'm sure Ambassador Ogden has already reported in concerning the Gallic attack on New London, but I'd be remiss if I didn't do so as well. To put it succinctly, the limeys had a very bad day. The Gauls redirected the Newcastle Gate to connect to their own gate in Leeds and launched a full offensive that resulted in the destruction of Southampton Shipyard and Newcastle being cut off completely from the rest of Bretonia. The BAF and Liberty Navy have set up defensive positions at Planet New London and Planet Dover.
Now, on to the request portion of this report. As Administrator of Eureka Station, I find myself in need of a contingency plan. If Bretonia ends up capitulating, and Gallia moves to occupy Cambridge, what are my orders? Do we evacuate to Freeport 1 and scuttle the station, or are we to come to an arrangement with the Gauls?
I'm no military genius, but I'd say that, one way or the other, this war almost over. And I'm not the only one thinking that. I tell you, I've got a lot of scared and nervous people down here. Hopefully this whole thing blows over soon.

Administrator Bloggs,
The progression of this invasion is disturbing, but somewhat unsurprising. If the Cambridge line is breached, your orders are to pack everyone onto the first ship out, burn the documents, grab anything irreplaceable, and scuttle the station. The Fleet will then move whatever assets it needs to in order to get your people home safely, up to and including the entire Away Division.

Hey boss, your old friend is under arrest for murder.
That's why we haven't heard from Leviathan. Apparently he just suddenly snapped one day, killed a few people, ended up with his ship locked down. He either surrendered or was... disabled, and an investigation is forthcoming.
Also, Auxesia is still on good terms with the Legion, and the Inner Phalanx would like to be in the loop about matters involving them. Like our war. Sentinel Aria was quite forthcoming, within the expected limits of confidentiality and classified information. Full log follows.
There have been reports of Nomad activity in the western cloud in the system, but Auxesia reportedly has it under control. Hopefully they're right.

Recipient: NO Internal Affairs
Subject: Aiding our Allies
¡Hola, mis amigos!
I'm here to report that I've moved the Victorious March off Curacao and joined the defense of New London on behalf of the Fourth Octavarium Fleet. We will assist as long as defense of the planet remains viable. If the Allied Fleet is broken and the Gallic Royal Military gains local space superiority, our intention is to withdraw to Cambridge and cover the evacuation of Eureka Station. The March has enough internal space to hold its share of the station's personnel, so we will evacuate Ambassador Ogden and his staff personally, along with any Bretonian diplomatic staff who need a ride. Administrator Bloggs assures me that the station's supply ships can handle the rest of the evacuation themselves.
I'm honestly hoping it doesn't come to that, but the fight ahead isn't going to be pretty, and I'm not entirely convinced the Bretonians can win this thing.

Gallic Royal Intelligence this time, using the Embrun.
A Falcata wing with support from the Basilica would fix that, if the Maltese and Crayterians could just quit trying to genocide each other long enough.
There's no way the Brets haven't figured this one out, though. It's not a hidden station and they've been monitoring it for a while. Hell, they might've planned this - get the Royalists to kick the Mollys out, then bomb the invaders while they're securing the place.
I'll keep an eye on the situation, unless there's something else.
