Sources of Bad Ideas
  • [s.1] - Stolen by Bombardier Adelram from the Hellfire Legion.
  • [s.2] - Stolen by Commander Miller from the DSE Pre-Owned Outlet, California City, Planet California Minor.
  • [s.3] - Stolen by Bombardier Adelram from the Hellfire Legion. Earmarked by OR&D for weapon hybridization project.
  • [s.4] - Found on an old, broken Werewolf previously owned and flown by Adjutant Kane in the First Vagrant Fleet circa 815 A.S. Weapons are at least 30 years older than that and should be destroyed.
  • [s.5] - Commentary: I don't even know why we have these. They're the knives you bring to a gun fight, and you don't bring a knife to a gun fight.
  • [s.6] - Previously installed on OCS Silent Man. Not currently in working condition.
  • [s.7] - Remains from a skirmish with presumably extra-Sirian drones in late 825 A.S. Jointly claimed by OR&D and OIC.
  • [s.8] - Very old gun parts that survived the many destructions of VCS Metropolis. Not enough here to make functioning weapons. Earmarked by OR&D for weapon hybridization project.

Estimated number of actively assigned and in-use small craft weapons is approximately equal to unassigned counts. The OIC has a few more prototypes out there in the wild than we do, and for obvious reasons neither you, nor I, nor Riley, nor God will be able to get them to cough up any details. Fuel reserves are fairly malleable; in an emergency situation we can transfer fuel between the cruisers, the frigates, and the transports. Pulling fuel out of the larger ships to feed the smaller ones is a bit more complex of a task but it's still something we can do if worst comes to worst. I'd say if we had to run quiet, run passive, and run defensive, with no resupply from the outside work, we could keep the whole fleet going for a year.

Thankfully, we have allies, and in regions where we don't, we have a large pile of cash.

Best regards,
Adjutant Harold Kane
Fourth Octavarium Fleet

Message Contents:

Good day,

As you are all no doubt aware, the Gallic Royal Navy is making a solid push to evict the Council from Roussillon. Obviously, considering the recent evacuation, the Council is not confident in their ability to hold the system. Reports I've received, both from the Fleet and our allies, agree with that assessment. With the number of nuclear weapons that the Council imported, it seems likely to assume they're planning a scorched earth retreat. If so, it's very possible that the Royals, in the absence of exploitable resources or any major strategic objectives, will elect to move their forces elsewhere, leaving the system unoccupied.

Should that occur, I want all of you to to be ready for an immediate large-scale security and humanitarian effort in Roussillon. If there are any survivors left on Toulouse, they're going to need a lot of assistance, and having unsecured space on our borders is just asking for trouble later down the line.

Riley,

Gallia's already claiming victory.

We'll have to be quick. I doubt Gallia would appreciate us moving in after they get properly established. I'll make sure we have the resources set aside to support any such endeavor in the system.

(We're looking into it. Gallia is in a... fascinating position right now. -V.)

Well that's not reassuring.

Keep me updated.

Pilot Riley reporting,

As per orders, I flew down to Tau-115 to scout the current situation there. As expected, the Council has been fully driven from the system. On my way there, I saw that the Council battleship Pamiers had withdrawn to Tau-44. The Pamiers appears to be heavily damaged, but intact. There was an "allied" Gallic pilot nearby, but I couldn't understand a word it said, so I continued with my mission. May I suggest an operation to either capture the ship, or encourage it to be somewhere else, before the GRN decides to come knocking?

Upon entering Tau-115, I flew over to the planet. The docking ring was damaged and non-functional. The Montmorency Battlegroup was in a high orbit, but I kept my distance. Scans of the planet show that all four main settlements were destroyed by nuclear detonations. Scans for survivors are inconclusive, as this ship isn't really set up for that. After taking my scans, I quickly withdrew before Gallic patrols could converge on my position.

Upon returning to Tau-44, I landed at Sulawesi and turned over 20 captured enemy pilots. I'm not too happy about wasting good oxygen on the likes of them, but rest assured that I'm following Taskmaster Flores' orders concerning the treatment of prisoners to the letter.

There was major combat in New London, as I'm sure many of you are already aware. I stopped in to have a look.

[Image: HdYTnau.png]

It's really quite a mess out here. Warwick was lost. But Gallia lost far more. Gallia needed New London to fall, especially after Operation Ice Lance, and New London still endures. For now, at least; the war is not yet won, and you know what is said about wounded beasts. Instruct all civilian traffic to exercise extreme caution in the coming days. A return of the antics of the "Punishers" is very possible.

I will be lurking in and around Bretonia to try to monitor the situation, and see if I can recruit any local informants.

[Image: aOHu7Ve.jpg]

Good morning,

Leeds is in a major humanitarian crisis. I heard rumors that the GRN had begun bombing Leeds. Knowing that they already held the planet, I considered that a bit unlikely, but on the off-chance there was truth to the rumors, I requisitioned a shuttle and flew down to Leeds. What I found exceeded my worst fears. The GRN has englobed the planet with a fleet of destroyers, all of them firing some sort of large cannon down on the surface.

Normally, a journalist is expected to retain a certain detachment from the story and not get involved. In this case, though... I can't do it. I can't stand by and do nothing. I've been ferrying out refugees from the Resistance Base and taking them to New London. If anyone else is able to assist, get down here and help.

Taskmaster Flores reporting.

In accordance with the orders of the Consul, the Fleet has been working to protect evacuation transports leaving Leeds. On my own authority, I have elected to stick to defense and not interfere with the Gallic evacuation in any way, in hopes that their own patrols will reciprocate. Some have, others have not. I have been keeping the Unforgiven on overwatch duties to protect against Gallic patrols that have chosen to participate in the genocide.

Earlier today, while on overwatch, I encountered MRG Commandant Pierre Vaillant, first in a fighter, and later in command of the battleship RNS Sombre Destin. He was soon joined by the secondary fleet destroyer RNS Leygues and a fighter flown by MRG pilot Jeuge Duval. Neither Commandant Vaillant nor the forces under his command were interfering with evacuation transports, so we did not engage them.

We instead spoke at length, mostly about the war and our thoughts on the criminal turn it has taken. While the Unforgiven was engaged with an enemy battlecruiser/gunboat patrol, which Commandant Vaillant's task force assisted us with, they let slip a piece of intel that I think the Commission will find very interesting.

According to Commandant Vaillant, King Charles was not the one who ordered the bombardment. Instead, that "honor" belongs to the MRG's top commander, Amiral de Gaule Isabelle Montlaville de Chanteloup, who has since disappeared. With the speed at which Vaillant's task force withdrew after that, I suspect this was an accidental slip, though I cannot discount the possibility that this was "leaked" on purpose, to shift the blame onto someone else. I'm appending the relevant comm log excerpt to this report for OIC assessment.

Location: Petrucci Estate, Malta




Taskmasters, senior agents, coordinators, ministers:

We at Petrucci Memorial Agricorps have found that this year's cycles of growth and harvest has far exceeded what any of our people expected. New growth stimulation in use in our fields has resulted in our quarterly yield being enough to keep our current internal cardamine stocks high for at least the next eighteen months, and the damned grass keeps growing as if to reach the sky and touch the face of God. At this rate, we're going to need to build another processing facility and at least one if not two new storage warehouses, and we're running out of infertile land to develop on the Estate. The new freighter landing pads are helping us get the product off the planet and into our medical facilities, but by the time we can get a batch offworld, it feels like we need to call another freighter down.

When I took stewardship of the Petrucci Estate last year, we had enough of a harvest each quarter to supply the Natio's medical cardamine needs for a quarter, plus enough to build up a nice buffer in case of a bad season. Two seasons later, the plantation's crops were blooming through the winter season, and even as a rare light snow fell on the ground, the blades of newborn grass poked through, ever adamant to climb through and consume the sun's nourishment. And it would not rest, nor has it rested since.

I knew that the cardamine plant was one that was resilient and fast-growing, but the Petrucci Estate is now producing a steady supply of high-quality inhalant, ready to consume, to the tune of seventy-five thousand users' worth. Further processed for your average user, we can easily supply the "good stuff" to our own ten thousand or so plus at least another hundred thousand's supply of standard inhalant. Of course, we don't have a hundred thousand users to sell to, so we're stockpiling for the death of a farm that absolutely and vehemently refuses to die.

In short, señors and señoras, we have a lot of drugs down here and nowhere near enough addicts in the Natio to consume them all. What do you want us to do with all this dust?

Location: Barra Anchorage, Tau-31

To: Octavarium Intelligence Commission

Subject: Biotech Problem




No doubt, you've got my file open right now, so you already know most of this, but I think a little background is still in order. Before joining the Fourth Fleet, I served in the Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army. During the Volkhan's failed campaign against the Katzist counter-revolutionaries, I volunteered to receive a prototype second generation nerve staple. After the traitors overthrew the Volkhan, my staple was deactivated along with everyone else's. I had thought that to be the end of it.

Last year, shortly after being released from the gulag and returned to service in the Revolutionary Army, my staple spontaneously reactivated itself. I wasn't able to find help in the Coalition, so I deserted from the Revolutionary Army and eventually found my way here. The Natio's doctors have been able to mitigate the worst effects of the staple but still haven't figured out what makes it tick or how to deactivate it permanently without killing me.

I had been working with Doc Holliday on a permanent solution, but that was interrupted by the Bretonian conquest of Gran Canaria and the Doctor's involvement before and after, and ultimately no there was no change in treatment. As expected, the implant is starting to adapt to treatment, and before long it'll be back to full function.

With Doctor Holliday now in Bretonian custody, and nobody else able to devise a more effective treatment, I'm starting to get a little desperate. I've exhausted every option available to me, which brings me to you. Of all the organizations in the Natio, yours is the most likely to have the contacts or access to novel technologies that I need.

Is there anything you can do to help?

I'm going to check with a few of my contacts and see if I can find anyone. In the meanwhile, Med Force Enterprises wasn't just one man, they may have someone else that can help you.
