DOWOP/Apparatus Feedback

[CO. Slate]

DOWOP is operating off of reasonable guesses and information that is at best one step removed from public knowledge anyway. Their field agents are out there interacting with people (if it’s a civvie ship running a LSF ID with a corp or Freelancer IFF, it’s probably me) and collating information that can’t be declassified because it’s still sensitive. DOWOP is also sometimes just plain wrong for example, Valhalla Shipyard, the Wild infested nightmare yard blockaded by MND, is assumed to be a fully functional military shipyard under Rheinland control when assessing relative industrial strength of Kusari and allies).

LN and LSF have a notorious inter-service rivalry, any information LN gives is automatically assumed to be suspect and angled towards their admirals ripping money from Congress. They have to automatically couch any testimony LN gives, if LN cooperates at all, in terms of that to protect their slice of the Congressional appropriations pie, especially after the massive beefing up of Zone 21’s security and subsequent lockdown of the Trans-Alaskan Corridor making LSF look ungodly expensive to the civvies in suits.

The announcement in the Lib Forces MD is a (likely soon to be unemployed at minimum, getting an express ticket to Fairbanks if he’s unlucky) bureaucrat jumping the gun, and if it finds its way in front of prying Kusari eyes, may do more harm than good in terms of salvaging diplomatic relations.

Edit: needless to say, I’m a big fan of your events
