Jonathan Cayran reporting.

I have much to report today, drawing from multiple sources and encounters.

1. Encounters with the DTR

Leopold, during his food relief mission to Corfu aboard Thelema, reported encountering the DTR twice. It seems our previous communications have unsettled them to the point of irrational persistence.

Their current behavior resembles that of relentless petitioners, attempting to lure our ships into Gamma under the guise of signing dubious documents—sometimes labeled “A-25-D,” at other times “A-D32”. But every time it reeks of deceit.

It is evident they aim to bait our vessels into a vulnerable position, possibly to take hostages. Their initial lack of aggression supports this theory, as does their measured behavior. It seems their elders have tightened their leash, successfully suppressing overt violence—for a short time.

This restraint only held temporarily. Especially after Core fleet intervened, scattering the DTR and allowing Leopold's ship safe passage to Theta. The cracks in their masks were evident. Their restraint faltered as they attempted to expedite matters:
They launched missiles at Corfu, triggering its automated defenses.
They attempted to force one of our ships into an atmospheric dive.

This second act was particularly alarming. Lelanto sustained damage while trying to push the Bulwark. When that failed, the DTR deployed a capital ship under the name Cpt.Price, attempting to physically push our vessel into a fatal trajectory. Thanks to the skillful maneuvers of our pilot, disaster was narrowly averted, and Leopold managed to dock safely despite their subsequent efforts to blockade Corfu Bay.

These events suggest a calculated strategy to coerce us into signing that enslaving Theta treaty—or worse, to eliminate dissenting Zoners under the guise of “accidents.” Be vigilant, colleagues. Their erratic behavior and transparent ploys to shift blame indicate a dangerous escalation. Their precarious position compels them to search an angle to get the victim card in an attempt to avoid further damage to their already shattered image.

2. Successful Shipments to Corfu

On a more positive note, most shipments to Corfu have been successfully completed:

Emergency food stocks have been replenished.
Those wishing to evacuate have been safely relocated.
Thanks to Weiss, we delivered a significant quantity of weaponry—though we hope to avoid their use. These arms are formidable.

3. Modifications to the Bulwark

Finally, Mac Donogan has completed the necessary modifications to our Bulwark for the ‘forward ejection pod.’ While his technical explanations were, as always, filled with incomprehensible jargon, the enhancements appear effective.

Let us remain cautious and prepared. The DTR’s deranged tactics may evolve further, and we must anticipate their next moves to protect our interests and people.

The old man, out.
