[To]: Defence Intelligence Staff [From]: [SIS] Adrienne Perry [Subject]: Extraction operation [Encryption]: Extremely High
I'm embarrassed to report that one of our operations has become a drastic failure, although I believe we've seen the worst past already. Last week, I assigned an intelligence asset, Kailani Rose, a mission to investigate whether reports about a lost pirate liner inside of Liberty was of any concern to Bretonian national security. Our objective was to see if we could find the approximate location of the Liner and perhaps see if we could determine its destination, especially if it was bound for Bretonia. Although we were able to get a general idea that it was somewhere in the Texas system as Ms. Rose had discovered, Ms. Rose was also discovered to be a spy by the Lane Hackers. She was able to get away to Beaumont Base and hide there.
Officer Skirka and I contacted two assets for the extraction, Martin Weber and Ridley Jones to direct them to Liberty while we acted as their handlers. They rendezvoused at Norfolk Shipyard before proceeding to Beaumont Base to extract Kailani Rose out of there and it seems we were able to do so just in time. We have reason to believe that the Lane Hackers may have been following Jones, Weber and Rose while they were cloaked but we can't be sure. We did however have the lead in the chase and I suspect their cloaks couldn't have held on for long without battery resupplies, so we don't think they were able to get evidence of us bringing Ms. Rose back to Bretonia definitively but they definitely suspect us.
After that, Skirka and I scrambled to assist Cpt. Sid Fire of the BAF| in combating the Lane Hacker who was following us but it seems we were ill-prepared as none of us expected a member of the elite Lane Hacker Assassins to be present in Bretonia.
Overall, our analysis of the situation is that we need to bring in further controls over the intelligence asset program and set strict guidelines and protocols for missions, specifically sensitive ones taking place inside house space. We need to minimise such mistakes in the future. Overall, although we were able to get enough intel regarding the pirate Liner, the subsequent consequences of our asset being discovered and having to embark on an even more sensitive extraction operation within an allied state and strongly suggest to the Lane Hackers that that spy might have been one of ours, makes this mission an operation failure.
