Stefan & Franz:

Today I encountered an Order vessel in Bering. The vessel, named Anhur, was commanded by Colonel Mark Webb. While the Colonel let me know he was visiting his original homeland of Liberty, he pointed out to me that he was attacked by multiple Unioner forces while passing through the Bering system.

I am not currently aware of any conflict we have with The Order. Furthermore, Colonel Webb was kind enough to return 50 Unioner pilots to the Lorelei as a show of good faith. I have returned them to Pacifica for debriefing and reassignment.

I do not know if there are incorrect orders going out, but Colonel Webb also indicated that their Grand Admiral Golanski was attacked as well. Is there something I should know about? The Lorelei's IFF, as well as my fighter's, are programmed to consider The Order as neutral and not to be attacked. However, diplomatic data elsewhere indicates they are a hostile actor.

Please advise at once. Colonel Webb requests contact from High Command, and I personally would like to make sure I know what to do when I encounter the Order again.

Respectfully,
Hunter Wolff
