Commander Hewitt, INS Procyon.
We departed the freelance outpost in Leeds yesterday to make our way up north. The last few months were spent haggling for better deals on food and water; Not my strong suit, but the ship stayed intact for what its worth. Amazed my contact is still waiting for us.

In addition to food and water, I was also able to procure maps for the regions north of here. We'd barely left Bretonian space when we were jumped by a Gaian raider that didn't seem too interested in chatting, and only thanks to the intervention of some Mollys were we able to get out with minimal structural damage. I compensated the Mollys for their actions, then we parted ways.
The next systems our maps had marked for us was Roussillon, the Council's old holdout system. No contact of note aside from a Royalist gunship that didn't impede us.

We passed through one more Tau system before the map ran out. A nearby anomaly in the white nebula brought us to Provence, where we made port at yet another freelance outpost at the system's edge. I'm going to make some contact with the station locals, and maybe even procure another set of maps. I've had no word yet from my contact, but I assume if he's waited this long, he can't be a fraud.
Will log updates as they present themselves.

Hewitt, out."

"Personal log: September 18th, 830 A.S.

We made contact with a member of the Unione Corse a couple days ago, and have since established communications with the Corse's leader, one Principal Alfredo Orsini. The man himself is quite accommodating, and has allowed us safe harbor, although I've kept the Procyon to Monte Carlo for the time being so as to not arouse concern.

The crew has been getting some R&R, and the ship some attention. I suspect the final push north into the Taus will need us all at full strength.
I've inquired to Principal Orsini to provide us with maps of the region, but he's so far been reluctant to do so, likely out of security reasons. I've provided a response, but so far he's not given me one in kind.
We'll see if the Corse can provide us with the maps we need, no matter how annotated. If they can't, I'll have to see about finding second-hand information from the freelancers and the patrons here on Monte Carlo. I don't relish the idea of going behind the Corse's back, but my contact won't wait forever, and time is of the essence.

Hewitt, out."
