Espionage

In this captivating speech, I am thrilled to unmask an array of eye-opening revelations that would make up for the espionage criterion. First and foremost, I should draw attention to the unprecedented surge in Government-controlled lackey military fleets infiltrating the independent worlds. Spyglass Network has intercepted a noteworthy presence of the Liberty Navy and Bretonian Armed Forces in these regions. After thoroughly evaluating the concentration whereabouts, I chose to embark on an expedition to Cortez, even though both Magellan and Cortez had a significant military presence.

Upon my arrival, I made a rather attractive discovery. As I neared the Jump Gate for California, my detectors discovered a cluster of Liberty military vessels. Upon closer inspection, I identified a AP-609 Mako class battleship actively being utilized by the 46th fleet. I conducted an exhaustive examination of the subject, and the process of determining how they acquired this warship is still ongoing. It is indeed intricate to eyewitness a vessel with such incompatible attributes in the Liberty sector. My interest has been piqued, and I am eagerly looking forward to uncovering the truth behind this exciting occasion.

[18.02.2023 20:30:47] 5th|LNS-Miasma: Nicole: Interesting stuff you got in there.
[18.02.2023 20:31:10] LH~Olivier.Cesari: I wonder what has interested you to arrive to Cortez in full power.
[18.02.2023 20:31:23] 46th|LNX-Umbra: Asterius: You should know.
[18.02.2023 20:31:37] 46th|LNX-Umbra: Asterius: Our western neighbours are getting a bit... Overzealous.
[18.02.2023 20:32:06] LH~Olivier.Cesari: Bretonia, you mean? They've been getting loose lately, can't deny.
[18.02.2023 20:32:30] 46th|LNX-Umbra: Asterius: That cannot be denied.
[18.02.2023 20:32:52] LH~Olivier.Cesari: And, what is it you're striving to achieve?
[18.02.2023 20:33:07] 46th|LNX-Umbra: Asterius: Making sure our border remains solid.
[18.02.2023 20:33:08] LH~Olivier.Cesari: Assert terror to the innocent populations in Cortez?
[18.02.2023 20:33:26] 46th|LNX-Umbra: Asterius: Hah. No. If we were up to that, we'd be orbiting Curacao.
[18.02.2023 20:33:33] LH~Olivier.Cesari: Curacao is far too irritated by your war games, both of you. Bretonia and Liberty.
[18.02.2023 20:33:50] 46th|LNX-Umbra: Asterius: We know. That is why we aren't going any further.
[18.02.2023 20:34:34] LH~Olivier.Cesari: A intriguing way to put fear in your neighbours.
[18.02.2023 20:35:07] 46th|LNX-Umbra: Asterius: We aren't trying to intimidate them. Barely tell them that Liberty stands for its principles.
[18.02.2023 20:35:26] LH~Olivier.Cesari: But I suppose, the traders travelling through Cortez will be the ones more affected to your fancy warship display.
[18.02.2023 20:35:45] 46th|LNX-Umbra: Asterius: Shouldn't be a new sign for them. Nor should it bother them.
[18.02.2023 20:36:53] LH~Olivier.Cesari: And, once Bretonia gains insight into your "defensive posture," what would you anticipate them to do?
[18.02.2023 20:37:49] 46th|LNX-Umbra: Asterius: I'm not a diplomat. It's not up to me to decide what I do with them.
[18.02.2023 20:38:27] LH~Olivier.Cesari: Of course. You are nothing but an ignorant lackey, abiding by the commands given by the corruption warlords.
[18.02.2023 20:38:33] LH~Olivier.Cesari: Nothing but a pawn in their grand scheme.
[18.02.2023 20:38:49] LH~Olivier.Cesari: Good luck learning that the difficult way.
[18.02.2023 20:39:24] 46th|LNX-Umbra: Asterius: If it wasn't for my own conscience, I wouldn't be commanding this ship for the Navy.
[18.02.2023 20:39:38] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: You do seem versed in inter-house policy, on the other hand, Hacker. Ever fancied a career in diplomacy for Liberty?
[18.02.2023 20:39:50] LH~Olivier.Cesari: The irony behind those uttered word, surely tells me that ship isn't of Libertarian origin.
[18.02.2023 20:40:00] LH~Olivier.Cesari: Defending "Liberty princples."
[18.02.2023 20:40:32] 46th|LNX-Umbra: Asterius: Not much of a difference if you think the Professorship is telling you all the truth.
[18.02.2023 20:40:41] LH~Olivier.Cesari: Doesn't the Navy have access to more developed warships, why would it necessitate for something more junk like that?
[18.02.2023 20:40:57] LH~Olivier.Cesari: I'm not naive, Umbra.
[18.02.2023 20:41:34] LH~Olivier.Cesari: My presence here has rather different motives. Now, that I've found your lapdog friends here in Cortez...
[18.02.2023 20:41:43] 46th|LNX-Umbra: Asterius: Uh-huh. You're the one talking about pawns and lackeys.
[18.02.2023 20:41:52] LH~Olivier.Cesari: Good morning.
[18.02.2023 20:41:56] 46th|LNX-Umbra: Asterius: What makes you think you aren't a pawn for the Professorship?
[18.02.2023 20:42:21] LH~Olivier.Cesari: I might answer that, once I'm done eliminating those two fighters surrounding you.
[18.02.2023 20:42:44] LH~Olivier.Cesari: I'd like to see them try something, not just, stand.
[18.02.2023 20:42:49] 46th|LNX-Umbra: Asterius: You'd be naive to assume we won't provide them with fire cover.
[18.02.2023 20:43:18] 46th|LNX-Umbra: Asterius: They know better than to chase off a Lane Hacker into the nebula.
[18.02.2023 20:43:21] LH~Olivier.Cesari: That'd be a waste of your resources, because, you can't achieve anything.
[18.02.2023 20:43:59] LH~Olivier.Cesari: Chase? That's an interesting statement.

[18.02.2023 20:45:36] 5th|John.Clark: Greetings.



[18.02.2023 20:45:49] 46th|LNS-Savannah: Lillian: I see a Hacker's here to witness the show
[18.02.2023 20:45:50] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Looks like Group 2 is joining.
[18.02.2023 20:45:56] Jack_Raider: If you look for an Bretonia ship, you just missed it
[18.02.2023 20:46:12] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Bretonian ship?
[18.02.2023 20:46:16] LH~Olivier.Cesari: A show? Enlighten me.



[18.02.2023 20:46:40] Jack_Raider: A Battleship or Battlecruiser, it was big. Kinda like yours
[18.02.2023 20:48:56] Grey.Evans: Y'all, there are several Bretonian capital ships in orbit above Curacao.
[18.02.2023 20:49:00] LH~Olivier.Cesari: Keep your distance, Freelancer.
[18.02.2023 20:49:01] Jack_Raider: Ay Hacker, you know whast going on?
[18.02.2023 20:49:06] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Kingston: *sigh*



[18.02.2023 20:49:09] 46th|LNS-Savannah: Lillian: Perhaps it'd be best if we welcome the Bretonians then



[18.02.2023 20:51:41] LH~Olivier.Cesari: So, Freelancer, you too seem baffled.
[18.02.2023 20:52:02] Jack_Raider: Well you dont often see that many ship in this systems
[18.02.2023 20:52:12] 46th|LNX-Umbra: Spike: WE got visual on redcoats.
[18.02.2023 20:52:17] LH~Olivier.Cesari: This is more but a disgusting show of power.

The rather quiet ambiance was tense with pressure as weak Subject vessel divulged its intentions - an apparent eagerness for a theatrical display of authority against the Bretonia forces. This shameless approach, seemingly seeking direct provocation, was entirely out of place and sent ripples of unease throughout my cabin. In my sincere endeavor to gather further insights from the subject, I was met with arrogance that was evident. Their relentless thirst for clash was apparent, and their enthusiasm for provocation was present in every word these weasels uttered. It was a rather disgusting sight, to witness such glaring disregard for the established norms and principles. In a move that was surely interesting, the Government later publicly revoked the Curacao treaty, an act that could potentially ignite an intriguing conflict.

[18.02.2023 20:58:15] 46th|LNX-Umbra: Spike: That's a lot of red!

The arrival of the second group from Magellan had seemingly amplified its strength manifold, and the once-timid lapdog meeting now seemed to brim with confidence. Yet, as mediocre as their numbers were, something about their demeanor had altered. I observed them making a premeditated move towards Curacao, an action that seemed to contradict their earlier reluctance to flee any further. It was then that I realized the lies that had been artfully woven into their speech, and the obvious craving for a show of power that had earlier lain passive within them. Perhaps the public Bretonian COMM that had reached our ears too, had stirred up a hornet's nest, and now they were eager to let loose their rage upon their notorious allies.

As I keenly observed the unfolding events, the arrival of both the Liberty and Bretonian fleets near Planet Curacao instigated an intense standoff. The two lackeys locked horns, each one's aggression akin to that of Government lapdogs. To my interest, I eavesdropped on their gathering, unsure whether I should anticipate a clash or not. Though their exchange was riddled with mocking tones and taunts, it was ultimately the calmer minds that prevailed, and the Bretonian fleet retreated. The Crayter Republic too was present, loyally siding with Bretonia in this circus. As I scanned the horizon, my eyes fell upon a peculiar view: an Order ship, identified as "Empress|S8," eavesdropping on the events that had happened. Intrigued by their presence, I approached the individual and posed a series of questions.

To my surprise, the individual confirmed that they had observed apparent alien involvement in Inverness, although they remained tight-lipped on the details. The subject claimed to belong to an Order organization known as Section 8, adding an interesting layer to the flowering happenings. Together, we both stood and observed as the drama continued to unroll. In a sudden turn of events, the Xenos arrived and engaged the Liberty fleets, sending the situation into further disarray. As if that weren't enough, a Bretonian warship appeared, evidently desiring to attack the Xenos. However, the Liberty fleets were quick to mock them, as if daring them to make the first move. The circus was set for an captivating conflict. As my attention began to wane, a sudden sight caught my eyeball and rekindled my wonder. The FRS Roanoke, the Xeno Liberty Assault Battlecruiser that we had previously detected, made its appearance, joining the struggle in vein to assist the doomed Xenos in their battle against the navy lackeys.

As the events began to lose their momentum, I found myself growing increasingly fed up with the proceedings. Seeking to fuel the embers of enthusiasm once again, I decided to demostrate the well-known hull discombobulation upon a Navy hoodlum. However, with nothing else of interest to eavesdrop on, I retreated, resigned to the notion that the drama had come to a quiet end.
