report on intelligence I have acquired

To the commanders of the RPA.

I just had a conversation with someone who insisted that our allies in the Coalition are going to turn on us. I inquired why he was informing me of this. Apparently handing back pilots of the Britannia armed forces and police force, has earned some degree of trust or so he says. He cannot tell me how the information was acquired. I believe him to be a member of the britannian intelligence service.

I do not for a moment believe this but I have had little interaction with the Coalition. Therefore I believe this should be sent to the commanders and they will decide whether or not to send it further up the chain of command. A point was made that I showed a kindness and as a result this kindness was being shown to me in the form of a warning.

I will leave it up to command to decide whether this is disinformation or valid information Knight Joe Mc'de signing off.

I highly doubt those rumours,

Regardless, you were right to inform us.

The Bretonian Intelligence Service resorting to telling dangerous tales like this, waging some kind of information war, designed to tear our allegiances apart at the seams if we're so paranoid to believe them. Typical.

If you have any additional information on the identity of this suspicious informant, please share it. Names, ship specs, operational areas. It's all useful to the cause.

Also understand that there's the possibility you may have been targeted because of your previous status, be careful of who you choose to trust amongst your former allies, they may have been manipulated to act against you. While you may see a fellow struggling man, be mindful of who they serve.

And just for the bleeding record, if the Coalition tried anything, we'd be their end.

Keep your head about you Mc'de.

info, ex-squire

All the info I have. I was in the new London system At the jump hole to dublin. He said his name was Jones. I think that was a play on my name. I now give specs on the ship (Player forgets)

On a side note my ex-squire now a knight has tried to entrap me. Her name is Mary Loiner. If she shows up, she has nothing to do with me. And if I was to have another squire He/She would be from the mollys or RPA

Subject: Nicked!: 'Knight Joe Mc'de'

Attention all Mollys,

One of our own has been compromised. Our very own mascot 'Knight' has been nicked by the CDI. He's being held as a tool to be used against us and I refuse to give them the power they believe they have.

I don't care what you think about Mister Mc'de, he's still one of us right now, so we've a duty to free him from the Crown's yolk yet again.

Put out the feelers, smash some coppers, ask around.
• Find out what happened to our man.
• Where the CDI may be holding him.
• What their ilk may know surrounding his capture.

Those of you who don't like him for his roots, think of it this way, if he's double-crossed us, you can sniff him out so we can put him down like the traitor dog he is.

Either way, I want him back in Molly hands before this gets out of hand.

Good hunting.

Recording of the interrogation of former knight Joe Mc'dee

Interrogation of former knight Joe Mc'dee.

Jo is strapped into the heavy steel chair, His left eye is completely swollen shut, a raw purple-black bruise. A deep gash splits his right eyebrow, dried blood crusting down his cheek. He’s missing a tooth on the bottom right side. His grey prisoner jumpsuit is torn at the shoulder, revealing a massive, blossoming contusion across his ribs. Every shallow breath he takes is a wheeze that makes him wince.

Standing across the narrow metal desk is Agent Thorne. He is a stark contrast: perfectly pressed black uniform, hair immaculately slicked back, holding a matte black data-slate. His face is not angry; it is utterly neutral, focusing on his tablet with the detachment of an accountant reviewing tax logs.

THORNE:
(Voice flat, conversational)
Subject: Sir Jo McDe, traitor (Class A). Physical extraction phase concluded. Information validation phase beginning now. We have twenty-four minutes before you are transferred off this ship. You will answer three data points before then, factually and completely.

JO:
(Chuckling roughly, coughing up a small fleck of blood onto the steel table)
Hrrgh. Just twenty-four minutes left? Man… usually I don’t get evicted until after they break my knuckles. Are you running a holiday special or something?

THORNE:
(Ignoring the remark, tapping the data-slate)
Question One. We know the 22-second burst transmission was sent on frequency 451.9. It was highly compressed. We require the decryption cipher. Provide it now.

JO:
(Grins, displaying the empty socket of his missing tooth)
Huff. The cipher? It's easy, pal. You just have to reverse-calculate the exact gravitational pull of your own immense arrogance. Once you have that variable, the rest is just… oof… basic math. Give it a shot.

Thorne does not react. He looks at Jo, then at the slate, then makes a precise entry. He steps around the table and delivers a short, calculated, professional-level kidney punch with his free hand.

Jo collapses forward into his straps, gasping, eyes bulging as his wheezing lungs fight for oxygen. He hangs there for a agonizing few seconds before slowly forcing his upper body upright.

JO:
(Voice a pained raspy whisper)
Wheeze. Okay… point taken. I guess math… hrrgh… isn’t your strong suit. My mistake.

THORNE:
(Back to his factual tone, smoothing his glove)
You are wasting valuable seconds. Your physical condition is rapidly approaching a non-communicative state. Question Two. We are monitoring encrypted Molly supply convoys from the Omega-3 jump gate. We have identified three specific fighter types escorted by 'Errant Blade' class vessels. Provide the exact defensive capabilities and patrol rotation of those fighter escorts.

JO:
(His good eye looking Thorne up and down, a look of lazy amusement)
Patrol rotations? (He makes a mock-thoughtful face, winces). Right… okay. The rotation is actually based on a very complicated, very ancient knightly ritual. We call it "The Knights of the Round Table." We just fly in circles and wait for some idiot in a fancy black uniform to show up so we can blow him to bits. Does that help, or do I need to break it down into diagrams?

THORNE:
(Tapping another note on the slate)
Evasive answers logged. Negative intent to cooperate. Information is currently categorized as "Low Reliability" but confirms hostilities. Third and final question. The Mollys have authorized a prisoner exchange for you. They are trading a specialist and a supplies shipment.

Thorne leans closer, his eyes narrowing just a fraction.
THORNE:
They are giving up an strategic asset for you. Why, Jo? Is it your knowledge of CDI interrogation methods? Have you already compromised our standard protocols in your 22-second call?

JO:
(His smile finally falls away, replaced by a look of genuine, exhausted dignity)
They aren't trading for me because I'm tactical data, Thorne. They're trading for me because… cough… unlike you… they know what "loyalty" actually means.

THORNE:
(Stares at him for five long seconds. Then taps the slate closed.)
Information gathering completed. Conclusion: Sub-optimal data retrieval. Probability of target sharing information in current psychological state: 4.1%.

Thorne turns and exits the cell, sealing the heavy metal door. The two brute guards who have been standing just outside the cell re-enter, unbolting Jo’s restraints roughly.

JO:
(As they grab him by the armpits, dragging him upward)
Argh! Hey, careful! This is custom-tailored prison wear! If you tear it, I’m sending the bill to your supervisor!

Recording Concluded.

Greetings and fair winds,

My name is Mr.Snow and I am the CEO of Pandesal Shipping. I am here to extend my thanks in letting my specialized hauler group named The Dough-boys, work in supplying your station named Connacht. As it stands, I am under the employ of another group based in Liberty as of the moment and have given operational power to my second in command, the leader of the Dough-boys, Blitz.

He will be your contact going forward to make sure everything goes smoothly. It is also to ensure my current employer does not put two and two together that I am supporting a movement bigger than they are. I have also attached the greetings of Blitz, Peng, Monarch and Rob so that you guys can put faces to names.

Also, Peng has a report he wanted to submit and included it in his introduction so it will be smoother. Take a look, it has some interesting info.

Fair winds,

My name is Blitz and I am the leader of Mr. Snow's Dough-boys. We are his wing of haulers that is used for moving cargo freely with no constraints. Just as a heads up, myself and two other ships, Pandesal.Shipping-002 and Pandesal.Shipping-003 are currently operating in Rhineland.

Your point of contact for Dublin operations is the captain of Pandesal.Shipping-004, Rob. He will take care of transport needs and he is also working with two of our other members. They will have their introductions ready as well.

Here's to working with you guys.

Good day,

This is Peng, captain of this here Modular Miner aptly named "Barnacle Mining". Mr. Snow and Blitz sends their regards and this ship will be attached to Connacht in order to assist with mining operations and also, if needed be, a ship capable of dishing our punishment to those who disrupt our operations.

Speaking of which, you might wanna hear this. I was headed towards the New London jump hole and what showed up on my scanners was confusing as was worrying. It was a lone Liberty Navy ship.

Interesting part is that they were using a "Hathor" Order Gunboat, and their cargo hold had several Molly pilots. He claimed to be on a "Diplomatic Visit". I asked out of curiosity and he doesn't want to share any info with little ol me. When I told him to drop the Molly pilots along with a cruise disruptor to slow him down, he fired off several vandals towards me so I had no choice but to fire back.

During the fight, he knew he was losing and ran into the New London jump hole. I followed suit and almost caught up to him but he made the gamble and went into the explosive gas zone just Infront of the jump hole. I attempted to follow but could not risk it as I suffered damage and lost my cargo pods in the process. Flew back to Trafalgar for repairs and hightailed it back to Connacht with a full load of Basic Alloys so I would not return empty handed.

Also included the blackbox data. Unfortunately was not able to complete scans of his ship due to the vandals hitting me.

I am attached to Connacht with Peng and Rob so us three will be your contacts there. I will be patrolling the system for any undesirables and hopefully, blow them up before they send in reports. Don't hesitate to call me if the need arises.

Hello there,

My name is Rob, captain of Pandesal.Shipping-004. I have been the one doing round the clock work for keeping Connacht topped up. My ship is currently under repair in Connacht and it saddens me to say that because of that I have not been able to complete as many deliveries as I want.

Rest assured that when my ship is back to tiptop shape, deliveries will flow again smoothly. Looking forward to doing more runs for the RPA.
