Dispatch,

The Wraith Holme has been monitoring the ongoing extortion campaign targeting facilities in Omicron Delta, as reported by our Phoenix allies. We have identified two locations of interest:

• Seward Station: Formerly an open Junker facility, Seward Station has recently closed its doors to all outside traffic. Despite this apparent non-compliance with the "Wilde" cartel's demands, the station remains unharmed. Its proximity to the Tokelau Ice Cloud raises concerns about a potential connection to the compromised vessels.
  
  
• Tokelau Smelter: This facility responded to the extortion attempt with an offer that appears to meet most of the cartel's demands. This raises suspicion of potential compromise within Tokelau Smelter, particularly given the potential benefit they might derive from an Iridium price floor and the elimination of competitors.

Recommendation:

Further investigation is necessary to determine the true nature of these facilities' involvement. While a direct attack may seem warranted, collateral damage and potential escalation with the Houses/Core (who may have economic ties to Tokelau Smelter) must be considered.

Action:

We propose a joint investigation with the Core , focusing on diplomatic channels first. If necessary, covert intelligence gathering can be employed to uncover the extent of these facilities' involvement.
