I'll get to the point straight away. Upon receiving a message that was allegedly from our captive pilot - Sophie Savoie - instructing me to meet her by Barrier Gate station in Coronado, I got my civilian ship and traveled there incognito.

Naturally, since I'm not a complete moron, I suspected a trap, so I made due preparations.

The plan was as follows... I was to be followed from afar by both a complement of fighters - the remainder of Sabre squad - as well as a friend of mine, unaffiliated with the Armed Forces by name of Janessa Carlton... so that I would have redundant backup in case anything went wrong.

Which, of course, it did - awaiting me upon my arrival in Coronado was Nancy Sweetwater herself, perhaps better known as the Reaver Sangria. Given that she was not immediately hostile, and that I still had to investigate any possibility of learning Savoie's whereabouts and well-being, I complied with her demands to come with her to Planet Nevers in Gallia.

This made complications for our fighters, as while they could infiltrate Gallic space, they could not make any attempt to land and extract me from planetside.

Thus, Sabre-1 effectively scrubbed the fighter mission, called off the squad and was forced to leave me behind.

Fortunately for me, Janessa Carlton had no such problems, and followed us down to the planet surface.

Upon reaching a resort about 40 klicks eastbound from the starport, I was led to a hotel room, tranquilized and handcuffed to a bed by Sweetwater.

Surprise surprise, Savoie was nowhere to be found.

Though now effectively captive myself and under some duress and the subject of... Unwelcome attentions from Sweetwater, I used the opportunity to ask her as many questions as I could at the time, while revealing as little as possible of our own business. She was surprisingly willing to reveal most information regarding herself, (maybe out of want for attention?) but she would not tell me anything regarding the location of Sophie Savoie. Judging, however by the specificity of leading me Planet Nevers of all places, it is entirely possible Savoie actually might be on that planet somewhere. Though, keep in mind, an accurate deduction is impossible to make at this point.

Now, as about Sweetwater was about to attempt to... er, do things to me for the second time (I came very close to successfully killing her the first time she tried. I actually headlocked her with my legs, had to stop when she threatened that Savoie would be killed off as well if I went through with that) she was thankfully interrupted by Carlton barging in and rescuing me on my signal.

While Sweetwater eluded capture as well, we then successfully left Planet Nevers and exfiltrated from Gallia back to Bretonian space, from which I am now sending this report.

On a final note: Nancy Sweetwater is extremely dangerous, unstable. Barcode tattoo on her wrist confirms her as having been convicted to a Kusari prison, and by the manner in which she attempted to copulate with me, probably also a nymphomaniac. However, she shows a slight aversion towards killing or torturing people beyond the point where she can get kicks out of it, which may be noteworthy.

Regarding the mission: as of present, Sophie Savoie's location is still indeterminate, (But it is possible she might be at Planet Nevers) and we will likely have to try and discover further leads to make any progress on this matter.

Arland out.
