Director Steiner,

As promised I would return to you with intel from my sources on where Slog is coming from. At this time I have nothing concrete however I have some leads.

---

From my Rheinlandic Contacts: "The substance finds its way here through the Omegas trade corridor with Bretonia, shipped mainly by independent smugglers or Mollys."

---

From my Kusari Contacts: "The only thing we can tell you is that this drug is not very prevelent in Kusari, or at the very least, not something we managed to intercept yet."

---

From my Gallic Contacts: "it seem that the so called Slog originates from Sirians, people mumbled something about "tea sippers" and Omegas but I have no idea what exactly they had in mind apart from Bretonia."

Now, this is where it gets interesting, As we can see so far all fingers are pointing to Bretonia. Which only leaves a few possibilities some upstart freelancers, Mollys, or Gaians. That is where my Bretonian Contact comes in unlike previous tidbits I'll let you read a full transcript, for my, and their, security I have scrubbed any references that could identify who my source is:

Mister Tiltman,

Been out of Bretonia for a while have we...?
*ahem*
Let me first introduce myself, I am [REDACTED], a leading figure of the [REDACTED]. My duties are usually [REDACTED] in nature, yet I often find myself drawn into the more kindred aspects of our movement and for some time now I have personally been investigating the potential origin of this blighted substance.

While my every fibre desires that I rifle your pockets for nothing, I shall give you this much for free.
At this stage it would seem that it sprung up overnight, amongst the working population of Bretonia and promptly spread like wildfire to every single corner of this crown forsaken house.
There are numerous production centres, sources and dealers, ranging from your typical chemistry set in size to warehouse scale blackmarket production.

While the [REDACTED] itself does not officially condone nor produce this product, we are aware of numerous cells within the greater [REDACTED] movement who do and we're of the mind to turn a blind eye to their operations at this stage, if only until we can further assess the potential benefits and/or far reaching consequences of this substance.

Tread carefully Mister Tiltman, the Bretonian blackmarket is a dangerous game.
One in which we are a major player and I intend to keep it that way.

As you can see, my Bretonian contact was, less than friendly as a matter of fact this could spark a trade war between us. That being said, with the information I have collected from my sources it is most decidedly coming from here in Bretonia. As to who is producing it, I have my money on Mollys though I question what their game plan is, last I knew they were a group supporting the "proletariat masses" as the Coalition would put it.

---

Now, on to more pressing matters, as you know my loyalty is and always has been to the Bretonian Crown over the Gallic Crown. I will be reaching out to Agent Trident my question is, how can I best serve Bretonia in these actions. As for Silverstone, I will look into them.


Rick Tiltman,
Arbiter
