Director's Briefing

Interesting reading. You are all as eloquent as you are vicious.

Now, to business: the Corsairs appear to have taken the whole getting-hunted-and-killed-thing personally. And have gone so far as to hand out contracts to every two-bit scumbag with a sub-orbital taxi and a pea-shooter. In fact, Agents Stix and Remnant ran into one of these mental cases in Omega 5 yesterday. The ship was one of those IMG ships that are normally used for mining but now appears to be heavily modified and fully armoured and armed. The recordings of the combat are quite amusing.

Observe if you will the depleted shields of the gunship and the appalling damage caused by the minefield he had chosen to ambush our colleagues in. Yes, I laughed too when I saw the Stix's turrets make mincemeat of the starboard hull.

Be advised. This crew of this ship, call-sign -Rivalry- , may be back looking to collect on our heads. Treat all mercenaries with the utmost caution. Kill them if they make any threatening gestures. Obviously exercise caution. Many mercenaries work in Bretonia for the BAF and BPA, so I'm sure the untrustworthy ones will be in the Omegas primarily.

Recruits McCloud and Page are bumped to full agent status, having completed probation. Report to Sheffield for your new assignments. We'll set up the simulator for practice in those bigger ships.

Agents Hunt and Remnant are on special assignment in the Edgeworlds. Remnant was admitted to the Core at a ceremony on Freeport 11 only hours ago.

All recruits are to give priority to escort duty. Synth Foods, RepEx, IND and APM ships are our only valid contractors. If they contact you requesting a escort, attend to their needs immediately - unless you are engaged in a combat.

Senior Agent Behn's lectures on Combat Skills went down well. Tonight we'll be working on basic first aid and interrogation techniques. Bring your electronux, as he has a neat trick to show you. Apparently you can power electrodes from it. We'll use a live subject to demonstrate the potential of this new technique.

One last thing. Agent Hunt ran into one of these terrorists from the organisation known as the Order in Cambridge orbit. These maniacs will attack you without warning; their ships are equipped with cloaking devices and have incredible regenerative abilities. Shoot on sight. Of course, you can cuss them out all you want, but don't reveal anything confidential like some half-baked movie villain, please.

The handbook will be updated to reflect these changes.

Now go. Search and destroy.
