Log - Ezrael Vertiga

Joshua Hunt, you little piece of crap.

A few hours ago, we moved to Freeport 11, simply to refuel. The ACV-Predator was there together with a cruiser of the Blood Dragons. Nodoka was there as well, the administrator of the freeport. We had a little talk and it appears the Commune is about to attack Freeport 11 together with that nomad group called Vagrants. I still don't know anything about them. I also don't know why the Commune wants to attack Freeport 11. What does it get from that? I think everyone can agree on the fact that whenever Jared Nomak shows up, things are going down the road. I remember how we met him in Chester and Dublin. Without Maren, it would have turned out bad for us, encircled by destroyers and bombers. Back then, he was on our side, thanks to Maren and Valery.

Then I made a... mistake. When I interfered and saved Elena from this creep of the Commune, Bassam Hussaini. I mean, I was there as Operative Red, and I'm pretty sure they don't know it was me. But I can't rely on that. Maren was so incredibly angry at me for having saved Elena, she and Valery found clear words for what would happen if I would ever dare to interfere again.

Joshua Hunt, or Endurance, or Leviathan, he was there and asked me, infront of Nodoka, whether I was there to defend Freeport 11 from the Commune. From Nomad-Supporters. What else was I supposed to say than yes? If I had come up with any excuse, it would have increased the suspicion on me again. I tried to talk myself out to at least not being forced to use the Apahanta, but that sly fuck mentioned possible battleships showing up, either Maltese or Nomads.

The plan right now is to keep at least on Rover at Freeport 11. I don't want to involve the Apahanta. Other than Auxesia, I can't afford that kind of asset to be risked for something like that. Last time it was for the benefit of returning to neutrality with the Core. It worked out and that at the cost of me almost dying. This time, it is different. We can simply avoid it. A rover will be enough. Intercepting missiles and torpedos without showing a face or color.

Hunt is also spreading rumors about Sapphire Raven's death. He got me for a moment. I was seriously shocked. Then, on a private channel, he told me the truth. It was once again a lie for the sake of manipulation. God damn, whatever the guy touches will realize it was a mistake to get touched by him. I really should avoid him at all cost next time. He smiles at you, says something, and only if you have nothing to hide, you can return the smile without a worry.

Right now we're in Omega-11. The sun is turning the entire system into a hellfire, and that is just good enough to have us disappear from the sensors. I'm not sure what my next move is. One rover at Freeport 11, yeah. Enma is back in action, Eliza as well. I talked to them and instantly started to regret it. They are up to something. Some weird power plays. I'll stay out of it this time and just watch, like the way I am supposed to, at least in Valery's opinion.

Maren is a bit secretive lately. I don't know what she is doing all day. She claims she isn't doing much at all, but I'm pretty sure that is what she wants me to believe. Told Sombra to frequently visit her to prevent her from doing something else, and Sombra likes Maren so much she doesn't even acknowledge it when Maren is annoyed by her. To a certain degree it's funny. On the other hand I feel bad for exposing Sombra to such a dangerous person. Maren is a ticking bomb. A liar. I do understand why she is cooperating with Valery without much regret. They both have a very bad opinion on mankind. I thought about it very much lately. Maren is a very, very, very sad, lonely and corrupted person. I wish I could help her, but the circumstances force me to be at many places at the same time.

Nancy and Leon leaving Curacao for a vacation on Baden Baden, which is nice. Doctor Carr mentioned she made many tests regarding the removal of all the artificial stuff in her body. Chips, bombs. Didn't get to tell Nancy about her progress but if she continues her tests like that, I'm pretty sure we'll be able to remove the chips out of her body. She'll be free then. At last.
