When Zoners get nasty...

[Sombs]

With each day the plans got more solid. The teams of Nichols, Lanzarote, Canaria and the Vista were all still busy with the current Nichols Upgrade Project Kyu was leading. While all the deliveries for Phase 1 have been done a while ago, the OSI facilities and R&D sections in all those locations were stuffed with the materials and the desk criminals were focused on it, analyzing the quality and potential use of all the delivered goods and materials. There was not much to do for Kyu currently, so he had more time for his own little secret business. Taking his Conference gunboat, he used the spare time to move to the heart of Liberty: Manhattan.

Officially, he told the rest of OSI he would move there to show some presence and maybe get a few new employees for the company. Inofficially, he started to look around, opening eyes and ears for his little project. Ressources and production facilities weren't a problem, that was for sure. However, what he needed were someone to validate his data, and as much intel about the Lane Hackers as possible. The problem was, the Lane Hackers were even for Liberty still a mystery. Talking to the Navy pilots Elijah Bishop and John Mayer, the OSI Advisor learned a little bit about his new favourite enemy. Apparently, the Lane Hackers are said to not use any kind of bigger crafts but prefer snubs and in rare occasions, gunboats. So his ship of choice would actually come in handy to escort Whales through Liberty. But that wasn't what he wanted to know. Like a curious tourist he kept asking the officers, wanting to know as much as possible about the Hackers. While the Navy wasn't able to tell him about the positions of their bases, they hinted him to start his search in Magellan and Galileo.

If he wanted to find potential targets for his project, he would need to start looking there.
