Senior Agent Veritas and other concerned agents,
While I'm aware that there has been no decision made at this time, some activities in Bering should be brought to your attention. Jerard Voncloud has resurfaced at Freeport 2, and after a long conversation full of angst and uncomfortable hatred, it has become clear that he holds intentions of establishing a presence in Bering. It is imperative that this does not happen. Voncloud is responsible for the forced dissolve of the Confederation of Freeports due to his inability to handle situations of varying complexity as well as his imperialist approach to authority, pushing each head into the dirt as his say was 'scripture'. He declared IRG incapable, and moved to change administration on our stations, essentially undermining everything IRG had accomplished in the months prior. We must take extreme caution to avoid allowing him any room to operate.

[29.09.2018 17:28:32] Voncloud: So Itherael, what brings you this far into home space?
[29.09.2018 17:28:55] IRG|Itherael: V: The same question could be asked of you.
[29.09.2018 17:29:10] IRG|Itherael: V: We're here for humanitarian aid.
[29.09.2018 17:29:13] GG-E-Shadow: And I believe our answers would be the same.
[29.09.2018 17:29:15] Voncloud: Well, after i dissolved the Confederation, I heard about the Zoner Militia
[29.09.2018 17:29:23] GG-E-Shadow: Aid to whom?
[29.09.2018 17:29:24] Voncloud: I didnt want them to muddy the Zoner name
[29.09.2018 17:29:34] Voncloud: So I came here to ensure that their actions didn't reflect badly on us.
[29.09.2018 17:30:24] Voncloud: It does seem however, that they have already given up playing soldier.
[29.09.2018 17:30:24] IRG|Itherael: V: Everyone knows the separation of the two, and I'm surprised a fool such as yourself even cares enough.
[29.09.2018 17:30:55] Voncloud: Whether you believe it or not, i care about our people and our way of life
[29.09.2018 17:31:13] Voncloud: If Delta proved anything, people are ready to tar us with the same brush for the mistakes of the misguided.
[29.09.2018 17:31:24] John.Silverstone: Woah. It is loud here.
[29.09.2018 17:31:35] Voncloud: I don't need to bring up the Zoner Alliance now, do i
[29.09.2018 17:31:39] IRG|Itherael: V: Yet you've done little to preserve it, dismantling a system in mere months.
[29.09.2018 17:32:09] Voncloud: The Confederation had become something we strived to get away from
[29.09.2018 17:32:17] IRG|Itherael: V: Because of you.
[29.09.2018 17:32:23] Voncloud: Perhaps
[29.09.2018 17:32:31] John.Silverstone: Umm. Hey, Elly.
[29.09.2018 17:32:40] IRG|Itherael: V: You were trying to play emperor with everything the Zoners weren't.
[29.09.2018 17:32:53] L\-Eliza.Valdez: Hello, John.
[29.09.2018 17:32:59] IRG|Itherael: V: You had no connection to the boards of each organization or any regard to how each acted independently.
[29.09.2018 17:33:14] GG-E-Shadow: What brings you here, Maltese?
[29.09.2018 17:33:18] 2018-09-29 17:33:18 SMT Traffic control alert: [tCS]Spark. has requested to dock
[29.09.2018 17:33:23] John.Silverstone: So you were trying to frame me back then, after all, Elly?
[29.09.2018 17:33:37] 2018-09-29 17:33:36 SMT Traffic control alert: [tCS]Minx has requested to dock
[29.09.2018 17:33:38] L\-Eliza.Valdez: I'm unaware as to what you mean, John.
[29.09.2018 17:33:49] John.Silverstone: Oh, but you are.
[29.09.2018 17:33:52] Voncloud: All i tried to do was ensure no more Zoner lives were lost in the Omicrons.
[29.09.2018 17:33:58] John.Silverstone: That's not nice, Elly.
[29.09.2018 17:34:07] L\-Eliza.Valdez: I got interested in the Unioners after a certain meeting with them, hence me being here, Gaian.
[29.09.2018 17:34:19] L\-Eliza.Valdez: But instead I see Gaians.
[29.09.2018 17:34:27] Voncloud: Everything that occurred all ended up on the Confederations lap, regardless of what was happening
[29.09.2018 17:34:41] Voncloud: Issues between Sairs and IRG, they came to the Confederation
[29.09.2018 17:34:42] GG-E-Shadow: Interested in what way, may I ask?
[29.09.2018 17:34:44] IRG|Itherael: V: I wouldn't trust you with my pets, much less the lives of civilians and Zoners alike.
[29.09.2018 17:34:49] GG-E-Shadow: We're interested in the Unioners as well.
[29.09.2018 17:34:53] Voncloud: Captain Dross and the Arcadia, ended up being as Confederation problem
[29.09.2018 17:35:07] L\-Eliza.Valdez: It's not in your business to know why I'm interested in them, Gaian.
[29.09.2018 17:35:21] John.Silverstone: Richard, huh.
[29.09.2018 17:35:27] John.Silverstone: All the familiar faces.
[29.09.2018 17:35:33] GG-W-Chapman: Do I know you?
[29.09.2018 17:35:35] IRG|Itherael: V: Those 'issues' didn't fall on you, you took them on as the 'savior' you wished you were.
[29.09.2018 17:35:37] John.Silverstone: All the familiar faces I'd rather not see.
[29.09.2018 17:35:42] GG-W-Chapman: Oh, you were Sanada's stalker, right?
[29.09.2018 17:35:49] GG-E-Shadow: I expected that. I understand.
[29.09.2018 17:35:52] 2018-09-29 17:35:51 SMT Traffic control alert: John.Silverstone has requested to dock
[29.09.2018 17:36:00] Voncloud: Your entitled to your opinions and feelings Captain, but I didn't see anyone from IRG stand up to take Finns place
[29.09.2018 17:36:23] IRG|Itherael: V: No one? I guess Doctor James Erzie is no one.
[29.09.2018 17:36:38] Voncloud: I mean in running the Confederation.
[29.09.2018 17:37:18] IRG|Itherael: V: That's because IRG didn't run the Confederation. Nobody should. That makes you the emperor, not the representative you should be.
[29.09.2018 17:37:21] GG-E-Shadow: I salute you, gentlemen. Ladies.
[29.09.2018 17:37:24] 2018-09-29 17:37:23 SMT Traffic control alert: GG-E-Shadow has requested to dock
[29.09.2018 17:38:30] Voncloud: Say what you will about how i did things, the Mistakes i made
[29.09.2018 17:38:33] Voncloud: But dont accuse me of not caring
[29.09.2018 17:38:41] GG-W-Chapman: You two are really going at it.
[29.09.2018 17:39:15] IRG|Itherael: V: I remain under that impression. You dissolved the Confederation, then disappeared like the coward you are.
[29.09.2018 17:39:41] IRG|Itherael: V: You call them mistakes yet make no effort to make amends.
[29.09.2018 17:39:54] Voncloud: And what would you have me do exactly
[29.09.2018 17:40:35] IRG|Itherael: V: Go to those you've inherently damaged and recover what was lost.
[29.09.2018 17:40:49] Voncloud: And who have I damaged?
[29.09.2018 17:41:36] IRG|Itherael: V: IRG, OSI, TAZ. You subverted administrators, and even undermined IRG as a whole to try and stop inevitable conflict.
[29.09.2018 17:41:42] GG-W-Chapman: I think I should go get a drink at the Freeport. Things are getting awfully tedious.
[29.09.2018 17:41:51] GG-W-Chapman: Don't really feel like seeing two Zoners bickering.
[29.09.2018 17:41:53] Voncloud: Is it wrong to try and stop conflict?!
[29.09.2018 17:42:07] L\-Eliza.Valdez: They've been through a lot, with plenty of stake and responsibility on their backs.
[29.09.2018 17:42:20] L\-Eliza.Valdez: Shame they crumbled under the pressure and Delta eventually returned to the status quo.
[29.09.2018 17:42:22] GG-W-Chapman: Have a lovely evening, folks.
[29.09.2018 17:42:22] IRG|Itherael: V: No, but trying to destroy a business to do it...
[29.09.2018 17:42:25] 2018-09-29 17:42:24 SMT Traffic control alert: GG-W-Chapman has requested to dock
[29.09.2018 17:43:24] Voncloud: I'm at a loss, you have painted me as this terrible dictator, I'm not going to argue with you, if that's how it is.
[29.09.2018 17:43:26] Voncloud: That's how it is.
[29.09.2018 17:43:36] Voncloud: I did what i had to to try and save lives, and you know what, id do it again.
[29.09.2018 17:43:41] Voncloud: If you cant accept that, then so be it.
[29.09.2018 17:44:33] 2018-09-29 17:44:33 SMT Traffic control alert: John.Silverstone has requested to dock
[29.09.2018 17:44:43] IRG|Itherael: V: I'd rather you climb back into the cracks you hid in before you damage more people's lifestyles.
[29.09.2018 17:44:51] IRG|Itherael: V: The path to hell is painted in good intentions.
[29.09.2018 17:47:04] Voncloud: There's nothing more to be said, but I wont be "hiding" as you put it.
[29.09.2018 17:47:53] IRG|Itherael: V: Fair enough. At least act like you care and bring something capable of helping. You can't do much in an Eagle.
[29.09.2018 17:48:33] Voncloud: There's more to aid than a big ship with lots of gun.
[29.09.2018 17:49:12] Voncloud: At the time i came here, there was quite the big hoohah about Zoner Capitals being around.
[29.09.2018 17:49:36] Voncloud: I trust your aware of the saying "don't rock the boat."
[29.09.2018 17:49:47] IRG|Itherael: V: Like I said, something that can help. This vessel has dedicated agricultural distributions in support of the Freeport.
[29.09.2018 17:50:20] IRG|Itherael: V: Don't be snide and only recognize only part of the capabilities of the Nephilim-class.
[29.09.2018 17:50:40] Voncloud: Hard to remember when all I saw was its combat use
[29.09.2018 17:51:25] IRG|Itherael: V: That's because we defend our assets, and thus when Corsairs bring war, we'll hold our defenses.

He has acknowledged his actions as mistakes, saying the dissolve was necessary because it "had become something we strived to get away from." Someone with gross incompetence like this should definitely be considered dangerous in our campaign. I left the side conversation in there as bonus intel for your potential adversaries.

I hope you find this information helpful.
