OPERATOR CONFIRMED: "BLACK ORCHID"
RECORDING FILE STATUS-000001

There we go. I did not expect these simply programmed log routines to resist me any longer. This is agent Sheila Nash, codename "Black Orchid". This status log will keep track of my efforts to hunt down agent Edmund Warwick, better known as "Ezekiel". Although I presented my detailed eye-witness reports to my superiors, I was told to quit any further research on the subject. But Ezekiel will pay for his outrageous betrayal, Glasgow will be avenged!

Ezekiel disappeared shortly after I had presented my reports and I have reasons to believe that this is a result of his connections to higher executives in our organization. Sirius may be big but he will most certainly not be able to hide from me forever. In order to cover my own tracks after I had deserted from the HQ, I took the opportunity to leave Leeds on an independent trading ship. The crew knows me as "Ms. Gates" and weapon officer. A useful position that will ensure that nothing important will pass me by unnoticed. Also, it provides me cover for the interrogation of old "contacts" on various space stations. I took the last cabin to the left in the crew quarters corridor. Few tools were necessary to convert parts of the cabin's plating into decent hiding-places for my equipment.

Everything went well so far, however, the ship's first mate does not trust me in any way. I will see what to do if he should become a real danger to my mission.

On a side note: I shot two Hessian pirates on Freeport 1 today that tried to take over the ship. A Hessian patrol that intercepted our course was intercepted itself by a Corsair gunboat. I took down one Hessian fighter before the incompetent captain of this ship finally mangaged to escape the Hessian-Corsair engagement. We are in Rheinland space now. If anything endangers my efforts it seems to be most likely the captain himself by getting his own ship blown up.
