The Apparatus Does Not Exist

[CO. Slate]

Silver had a breakthrough on the piracy case! First Fleet had apparently known about the existence of Novi Plant and its piratical affiliation for some time. Cyan and Forest were likely to be recalled or attached to the besieging force, but considering Novi's silence and lack of patrols, it was more than likely to be a snoozefest. An expensive snoozefest; the cost of the heat sinks for the specialized siege weaponry was projected to be in the millions, and this small agency had not been afforded anything capable of deploying them; they would have to sit this one out. It didn't take long for Slate to figure out what to do.

• Silver:
  FA. Silver has learned that First Fleet's intelligence apparatus have been able to identify Novi Plant as a pirate and smuggler hotspot, but are unable to proceed due to a lack of proof. Further investigation has revealed that Novi Plant is in a position of legal flux on account of its IFF. Recommend a covert team deploy to Novi to conduct an investigation, as well as issue a subpoena for Mr. York, if he can be found. We are currently investigating to determine if there is sufficient cause to revoke tolerance outright.
  
• Cyan:
  SA. Cyan, FA. Forest, and Red Platoon to re-deploy to the Pittsburgh Field; it is suspected that DSE may be in the possession of illicit capital assets. Confiscate if possible.
  
• Lime:
  SA. Lime observing renewed Outcast offensive against Cryer assets, GMG nowhere to be found. FA. Cherry picking off isolated hostiles but otherwise unable to affect the conflict to a major degree.
  
• Platinum:
  FA. Platinum remaining in Omegas. Heavy Hessian and Corsair activity, Armed Forces struggling somewhat.
