At last, I assessed the information I was provided regarding a possible deal between Battlegroup Harmony and Core. Admiral Knight herself told me that, despite the operation conducted by them in the Omicrons -where they were helped by the Core- they have no plans for a deal with the latter. Still, I'd advise to keep the Battlegroup under discrete observation nevertheless. Should they develop something with them, we'll know it. Log excerpt below.

[31.05.2018 17:55:49] Maximillian,Largo: :: Incoming Transmission - Open? Y/N ::
[31.05.2018 17:55:54] H|-SNS-Harmony: Y
[31.05.2018 17:56:16] Maximillian,Largo: "Admiral Hunter, yes? I'm Maximillian Largo of the Lane Hackers."
[31.05.2018 17:56:34] H|-SNS-Harmony: We don't know any Admiral Hunter.
[31.05.2018 17:56:46] Maximillian,Largo: *ahem* "Pardon."
[31.05.2018 17:57:03] Maximillian,Largo: "I tend to misremember the names."
[31.05.2018 17:58:23] H|-SNS-Harmony: So did you wish to speak Commander Hunter then or Admiral Knight?
[31.05.2018 17:58:34] Maximillian,Largo: "I meant Admiral Victoria Knight, my pardons."
[31.05.2018 17:58:53] H|-SNS-Harmony: I can patch you through but what should I tell her this is about?
[31.05.2018 17:59:13] Maximillian,Largo: "It regards sensitive information."
[31.05.2018 17:59:22] H|-SNS-Harmony: She is very busy.
[31.05.2018 17:59:39] Maximillian,Largo: "What if I add that said information regard the Battlegroup^"
[31.05.2018 17:59:41] Maximillian,Largo: *?
[31.05.2018 18:00:11] Maximillian,Largo: "It won't take a minute."
[31.05.2018 18:00:23] H|-SNS-Harmony: Well I will patch you through then.
[31.05.2018 18:00:29] Maximillian,Largo: "Thank you."
[31.05.2018 18:01:19] H|-SNS-Harmony: This is Admiral Knight, what do you have for me?
[31.05.2018 18:01:40] Maximillian,Largo: "Ah, Admiral Knight. I think you have already been told who I am."
[31.05.2018 18:02:06] Maximillian,Largo: "If not, allow me to introduce myself: Maximillian Largo of the Lane Hackers."
[31.05.2018 18:02:36] 2018-05-31 18:02:38 SMT [31.05.2018 18:02:36] Maximillian,Largo: "I have been forwarded information hinting at a possible collaboration between the Core and Harmony."
[31.05.2018 18:03:09] Maximillian,Largo: "I just want to assess said information."
[31.05.2018 18:03:12] H|-SNS-Harmony: Are you Hackers not talking to each other or is this an attempt to see if you'll receive a different answer?
[31.05.2018 18:03:58] Maximillian,Largo: "I'll go straight to the point: several weeks ago, a Core gunboat was sighted in Bering."
[31.05.2018 18:04:47] Maximillian,Largo: "Its captain stated he arrived in the system 'on vacation' - yet it is unlikely the truth."
[31.05.2018 18:05:07] H|-SNS-Harmony: I believe you've already been told what we know about them. We assume they were assessing the situation in Bering.
[31.05.2018 18:05:26] Maximillian,Largo: "I also got knowledge of a certain operation your Battlegroup conducted in the Omicrons."
[31.05.2018 18:05:36] H|-SNS-Harmony: Considering their forces protected one of my scouts within the Omicrons that was to be expected.
[31.05.2018 18:05:57] Maximillian,Largo: "Yet, they granted you and your men access to their stations."
[31.05.2018 18:06:25] Maximillian,Largo: "I'm positively thinking that there is more beneath."
[31.05.2018 18:07:07] H|-SNS-Harmony: So far nothing came out of it. There is no reason to make them an enemy.
[31.05.2018 18:07:36] Maximillian,Largo: "This makes me point to my other thought."
[31.05.2018 18:07:52] Maximillian,Largo: "Harmony and Core striking a business deal."
[31.05.2018 18:08:24] Maximillian,Largo: "Perhaps the latter helping the former in regards to weaponry and supplies?"
[31.05.2018 18:08:41] Maximillian,Largo: "Of course, these are mere speculations."
[31.05.2018 18:08:59] H|-SNS-Harmony: So far no such deal has been made. There is no plan for one either.
[31.05.2018 18:09:48] Maximillian,Largo: "I see. You assure me you do not plan to strike a deal with the Core, yes?"
[31.05.2018 18:10:42] Maximillian,Largo: "If so, I think I acquired the information I required."
[31.05.2018 18:11:10] Maximillian,Largo: "Thank you for your time, Admiral."
[31.05.2018 18:11:20] Maximillian,Largo: "Largo, over and out."
[31.05.2018 18:11:22] H|-SNS-Harmony: We certainly have too little information about the situation within the Omicrons to make any deals there.
[31.05.2018 18:11:25] H|-SNS-Harmony: Until then, Hacker.

Shortly after the conversation I had with the Admiral, I received a distress call from Professor Scorpius regarding Hellfire legionnaires. I directed myself to Planet Atka, in its orbit, and joined him. Shortly after, Mr.Espada and Mr.Malprave joined us, and the Hellfires were joined by another of their ship, totalling three - callsigns Steve.Athanas, [HF]-Stoneheart and [HF]Crimson-1. After some mud-slinging, the fight erupted. I managed to bring one down with me, although my own vessel was disabled. I remained unconscious for a while, and I awoke on Dawson. Somehow, the remains of my Vindicator were brought quickly to Marshall, where its repairs are underway. It will be flight-ready in no time.

This is all for now.
