MESSAGE

---

I notified Logistics of it after it happened, but the meeting with the Buro occurred. When I say with the Buro, it was mainly Geoff Enfield. I'll isolate and include the necessary audio logs of the matter. He had brought two associates along in a group of 90-ARKM-N45 "Wraith" Fighters. When the meeting was concluded, despite my skepticism about the Buro's sudden interest, he transferred lock codes of the three vessels to give to us. I had Logistics pick up the vessels and return them to the Titania to be brought up to speed with our technology.

Audio log specifics

[17.01.2017 22:29:22] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: What does the Buro want from this relationship?
[17.01.2017 22:29:37] Wespe-1: Enfield: Wrong group of people you're asking about.
[17.01.2017 22:29:53] Wespe-1: Enfield: Question you should be asking... Is what I want from your group.
[17.01.2017 22:30:24] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: Then what /do/ you want?
[17.01.2017 22:30:44] Wespe-1: Enfield: Cover.
[17.01.2017 22:30:50] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: For?
[17.01.2017 22:30:53] Wespe-1: Enfield: When I need it.
[17.01.2017 22:31:15] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: You're not being specific.
[17.01.2017 22:31:27] Wespe-1: Enfield: I can never be with my life style...
[17.01.2017 22:31:39] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: And The Buro's relationship to The Core?
[17.01.2017 22:31:44] Wespe-1: Enfield: Think this is the... Fourth... Third time I've jumped ship?
[17.01.2017 22:31:48] Wespe-1: Enfield: This is in secret.
[17.01.2017 22:32:02] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: Jumped ship? You can't be serious.
[17.01.2017 22:32:24] Wespe-1: Enfield: I don't know when its going to happen, but I'm not swinging from a rope.
[17.01.2017 22:32:34] Wespe-1: Enfield: Something tells me I'm going to walk the plank.
[17.01.2017 22:32:46] Wespe-1: Enfield: So i'm going to need a small boat to jump in and sail me away.
[17.01.2017 22:32:59] Wespe-1: Enfield: Drop me off at a small hole where i can hide for some time.
[17.01.2017 22:33:02] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: And what've you got to offer in return?
[17.01.2017 22:33:57] Wespe-1: Enfield: I'm sending you the Wespe's activation passcodes.
[17.01.2017 22:34:07] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: Why?
[17.01.2017 22:34:22] Wespe-1: Enfield: The Buro have allowed you to use them in exchange for help when we need it.
[17.01.2017 22:34:33] Wespe-1: Enfield: And more or less of a reward for helping us in the Rhein.
[17.01.2017 22:34:56] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: That doesn't put me at ease. We aren't liable to cooperate without details as to what we'll be doing.
[17.01.2017 22:35:27] Wespe-1: Enfield: Well, mainly military aid, supplying, and co-operative research is what allies do I guess.
[17.01.2017 22:35:44] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: And what of The Core?
[17.01.2017 22:35:46] Wespe-1: Enfield: I guess they want to get closer to that Handshake.
[17.01.2017 22:35:50] Wespe-1: Enfield: Them?
[17.01.2017 22:36:03] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: Having one of your agents question me about the Delta events raised some more questions.
[17.01.2017 22:36:27] Wespe-1: Enfield: Unfortunately we need to hold up our part of the bargin we agreed to ages ago...
[17.01.2017 22:36:30] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: Seeing as how they were partially responsible for the decimation of the entire civilian populace of Freeport 11.
[17.01.2017 22:36:33] Wespe-1: Enfield: They've gone agro since then.
[17.01.2017 22:36:53] Wespe-1: Enfield: I never liked it... But the Director needs a base of operations within the Omicrons.
[17.01.2017 22:37:02] Wespe-1: Enfield: Core was our best option at the time.
[17.01.2017 22:37:15] Wespe-1: Enfield: This was done before Ravens separation.

----

[17.01.2017 22:40:41] Wespe-1: Enfield: Well, if anyone asks that you don't trust entirely... It came from an MND department called "Logistic-7"
[17.01.2017 22:41:09] Wespe-1: Enfield: I thought it might be time you get out of those second hand Sabres.
[17.01.2017 22:41:14] Wespe-1: Enfield: They've been fully equiped.
[17.01.2017 22:41:27] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: Those 90-ARKM-N45s will need to be overhauled before we make use of them.
[17.01.2017 22:41:34] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: I can have logistics swing by to pick them up.
[17.01.2017 22:42:00] Wespe-1: Enfield: Consider this a step in the right direction for Auxesia and the BDM.
[17.01.2017 22:42:10] Wespe-1: Enfield: We might have future operations we may need your hand in.
[17.01.2017 22:42:18] Wespe-1: Enfield: Oh and something came up on my list...
[17.01.2017 22:42:20] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: We'll see how things work out. A trial.
[17.01.2017 22:42:45] Wespe-1: Enfield: After the attack today in Rheinland from these strange ships...
[17.01.2017 22:42:49] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: The Cult.
[17.01.2017 22:42:58] Wespe-1: Enfield: We got some materials back from their wreckages.
[17.01.2017 22:43:07] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: Raven notified me of an attack, and I attempted to gain access to assist.
[17.01.2017 22:43:17] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: So we sent in combat units instead.
[17.01.2017 22:43:18] Wespe-1: Enfield: Some data leads to an EMP field radius...
[17.01.2017 22:43:26] Wespe-1: Enfield: And drone parts too.
[17.01.2017 22:43:31] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: We've been studying them for a long time.
[17.01.2017 22:43:37] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: Their technology is impressive.
[17.01.2017 22:43:46] Wespe-1: Enfield: Yes, my Battlecruiser took some damage.
[17.01.2017 22:43:51] Wespe-1: Enfield: Got back fine though.
[17.01.2017 22:44:23] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: One of our drones lost its defensive measures. Nevertheless we recovered some data and salvage ourselves.
[17.01.2017 22:44:38] Wespe-1: Enfield: You think we could put them both too good use?
[17.01.2017 22:44:38] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: We've been following them since their first appearance in Liberty.
[17.01.2017 22:45:02] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: Possibly. We've been analyzing the data from the Freeport 11 bombing to get a clear idea of what device was used.
[17.01.2017 22:45:13] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: With enough data we might be able to re-construct it ourselves.
[17.01.2017 22:45:24] Wespe-1: Enfield: Good, because I know where it should go.
[17.01.2017 22:45:45] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: I have a few places in mind, but right now I have other things to worry about.
[17.01.2017 22:45:49] Wespe-1: Enfield: Right up Golanski's arse, I've been wanting to really hurt him after the kidnapping.
[17.01.2017 22:45:51] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: The Core have taken Finn McCool hostage.
[17.01.2017 22:46:00] Wespe-1: Enfield: Oh you're not joking?
[17.01.2017 22:46:04] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: No. I'm not.
[17.01.2017 22:46:41] Wespe-1: Enfield: Right before we could get our hands on their IRG cores...
[17.01.2017 22:46:44] Wespe-1: Enfield: Right...
[17.01.2017 22:46:55] Wespe-1: Enfield: I'll try to tug on something...
[17.01.2017 22:47:00] Wespe-1: Enfield: See what Info i can get.
[17.01.2017 22:47:38] Wespe-1: Enfield: This might even come out my personal bank account.
[17.01.2017 22:48:26] Wespe-1: Enfield: I think they're inhumane enough to sell him like a slave
[17.01.2017 22:48:31] Wespe-1: Enfield: A very expensive one...
[17.01.2017 22:48:33] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: Or worse.
[17.01.2017 22:48:41] Wespe-1: Enfield: Nah, they wouldn't kill him...
[17.01.2017 22:48:45] Wespe-1: Enfield: I've met the man...
[17.01.2017 22:48:48] Wespe-1: Enfield: Hes like...
[17.01.2017 22:48:52] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: Kill? No.
[17.01.2017 22:48:54] Wespe-1: Enfield: A brainbox.
[17.01.2017 22:48:59] A/)-ACV-Andraste: ?: Experiment? Probably.

----

[17.01.2017 22:49:36] Wespe-1: Enfield: Anyway.
[17.01.2017 22:50:02] Wespe-1: Enfield: These ships will stay at the freeport untill you get these outfitted
[17.01.2017 22:50:24] Wespe-1: Enfield: After that, I might contact you for close Co-operative research projects.
[17.01.2017 22:50:37] Wespe-1: Enfield: I've got one I've been working on for the past two years
[17.01.2017 22:50:42] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: We'll see. As I said, we've got a lot on our plates.
[17.01.2017 22:50:57] Wespe-1: Enfield: Try and get access to Rheinland...
[17.01.2017 22:51:07] Wespe-1: Enfield: And i mean with all your ships.
[17.01.2017 22:51:13] Wespe-1: Enfield: Including that monster.
[17.01.2017 22:51:20] Wespe-1: Enfield: Offer it up for... Examination to the Buro.
[17.01.2017 22:51:28] Wespe-1: Enfield: They'd be happy to hear that.
[17.01.2017 22:51:34] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: We'll see. The Andraste is slated to receive some heavy modifications.
[17.01.2017 22:51:45] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: It'll end up as unrecognizable as the Cincinnati became.
[17.01.2017 22:52:07] Wespe-1: Enfield: Roger, But seriously though... We could use you there too. You seem frequent fliers in that area.
[17.01.2017 22:52:15] Wespe-1: Enfield: You might aswell replace the bounty hunters.
[17.01.2017 22:52:25] Wespe-1: Enfield: Core can't touch you there either.

----

[17.01.2017 22:55:54] Wespe-1: Enfield: We're trying to stay on good grounds with the Maltese...
[17.01.2017 22:56:04] Wespe-1: Enfield: They're helping us with the Corsairs.
[17.01.2017 22:56:16] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: The Corsairs help you against themselves.
[17.01.2017 22:56:19] Wespe-1: Enfield: As i mean "Good grounds"... thats a "Don't shoot us"
[17.01.2017 22:56:33] Wespe-1: Enfield: Pretty much, the corsairs seem to like... No-one.
[17.01.2017 22:56:35] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: Their complete lack of intelligence is enough to see several accidentally kill each other on the field.
[17.01.2017 22:56:45] Wespe-1: Enfield: Oh that should be fun.
[17.01.2017 22:56:51] Wespe-1: Enfield: Recently visited Malta.
[17.01.2017 22:57:06] Wespe-1: Enfield: Old cross was overthrown.
[17.01.2017 22:57:11] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: I recently nuked several Commune vessels.
[17.01.2017 22:57:28] Wespe-1: Enfield: Aren't they... Nomad worshipers?
[17.01.2017 22:57:42] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: Yes.
[17.01.2017 22:58:20] Wespe-1: Enfield: Eugh...
[17.01.2017 22:58:30] Wespe-1: Enfield: People thought I was like that...
[17.01.2017 22:58:54] Wespe-1: Enfield: Actually... I was repaying them for assembling my wife back together after the order sort of...
[17.01.2017 22:59:03] Wespe-1: Enfield: I really want to kill Golanski...
[17.01.2017 22:59:16] Wespe-1: Enfield: Like... Scoop his eyeballs out.
[17.01.2017 22:59:32] Wespe-1: Enfield: And then feed them to his Underdogs.
[17.01.2017 23:00:44] Wespe-1: Enfield: "We're the savour of humanity... We should destroy all nomad technology by only letting us use it."
[17.01.2017 23:01:17] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: Welcome to the club. He issued death threats against children.
[17.01.2017 23:01:31] Wespe-1: Enfield: Hes more like an Elitist?
[17.01.2017 23:01:43] Wespe-1: Enfield: Trying to park his ass as the head honcho of Humanity.
[17.01.2017 23:01:52] Wespe-1: Enfield: Lord emperor Golanski.
[17.01.2017 23:02:01] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: Too bad. He's going to get an awful kick in the teeth for it soon enough.
[17.01.2017 23:02:18] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: We've hit their industry, we've driven a wedge between them and their Independent World allies.
[17.01.2017 23:02:22] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: We've destroyed their ships.
[17.01.2017 23:02:29] Wespe-1: Enfield: Can I get a list of those allies?
[17.01.2017 23:02:37] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: The Crayterian Republic.
[17.01.2017 23:02:47] Wespe-1: Enfield: Really?
[17.01.2017 23:02:50] Wespe-1: Enfield: Oh boy...
[17.01.2017 23:02:57] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: Blood Dragons.
[17.01.2017 23:03:01] Wespe-1: Enfield: Nice...
[17.01.2017 23:03:01] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: That one is known.

----

[17.01.2017 23:05:18] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: No. With them losing two Battleships in The Independent Worlds Campaign, it proved their incompetence.
[17.01.2017 23:05:36] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: The Amenhotep went to Liberty, and the Razgriz was reportedly destroyed /by/ Liberty.
[17.01.2017 23:06:20] Wespe-1: Enfield: They soo far from the Independant worlds anyway...
[17.01.2017 23:06:27] Wespe-1: Enfield: Why?
[17.01.2017 23:06:44] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: There was a gate in Coronado.
[17.01.2017 23:07:03] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: For the first while, we had been helping the Crayterians on the field in pushing the infectees coming out of it back.
[17.01.2017 23:07:21] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: We helped keep them at bay, and were able to push in to the gate.
[17.01.2017 23:08:15] Wespe-1: Enfield: Thats good.
[17.01.2017 23:08:24] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: And then The Order barged in with a fleet.
[17.01.2017 23:08:36] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: A week later, The Crayterians turned on us.

[17.01.2017 23:09:34] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: Their leadership became another proxy for The Order.
[17.01.2017 23:09:40] A/)-ACV-Andraste: L: Bending over backwards to Golanski's will.
[17.01.2017 23:10:15] Wespe-1: Enfield: I hope he knows to bend over himself.

As stated above, new ships, which can be used to replace the Guardians of Saracen wing that we're giving back. They've been nicknamed Hoplites, and will be ready for active duty soon enough.

This matter of cooperation though, I still don't trust The Buro. Many of the questions asked were dodged, and this seemed like more of a personal approach from Enfield rather than The Buro its self. If there's an ulterior motive, then it's likely something we need to keep a sharp eye out for.

As for their 'idea' of using the tech recovered from the Cultists against The Order, it's possible. We can discuss it further, but we have much more to do.
