First of all I wish to thank Captain Alvarez and the rest of High Command for my Promotion and my.. New assignments.. It is an honor to be able to serve the Coalition!

I also wish to thank Deputy Provost Marshal Commissar-Commander Vicenta Gonzalez for the Badge; "Shield of the Hammer".

It was an honor to fight along side you and the crew of the Ho Chi Minh, I am just ashamed that I eventually lost a Partisan...

On to current events and current assignments...

I have been investigating the disappearance of Sub.Lt Pekkala, I was assigned this mission and here is my report.

After having looked trough the current assignment of Pekkala, I determined that she was on Leeds to incite questions towards the Government of Bretonia, amongst the workers on the planet. I knew that I had to start there.

Since I have been working under cover in Bretonia before I assumed one of my unused identities still active in Bretonia, disguised as a Reporter for the "Militia" on Leeds I purchased a civilian ship of a used ship dealer on Canaria.

The Vessel itself had no IFF and a civilian transponder installed, perfect to roam trough Bretonia unnoticed by the Armed Forces or Police.

I had reached the Leeds system when I noticed a high activity of Kusari vessels, these ships where at Stokes and seamed to be in the process of preparing for an assault on Armed Forces.

I managed to avoid detection by the Authorities in orbit of Leeds and landed on the main Space port, not far from where Pekkala's Safe house where located. It had been 2 weeks since she last contacted the SCRA I had suspicious that she may have been compromised, since I knew Leeds quite well and knew where to go to find information I headed, prior to visiting the Safe house, a bar where according to Pekkala's own reports where a place where she often spoke to the workers and former Armed forces personell, "The Patriot".

The Bartender told me that a woman that frequently visited the bar, that matched Pekkalas description, but he hadn't seen the woman in 2 weeks. I directly believed that she had been compromised, caught and may have been killed or worse interrogated. Worst case scenario indeed...

After leaving the bar I took a cab to the residential area where the safe house where located, I had smuggled on board the Eagle a small caliber pistol, crude but very effective. It would serve well if I came under fire, or similar situation.

The apartment was easy to break into, surprisingly easy, first thing I noticed was that the door lock has been picked before, I had a bad feeling so I prepared myself.. And then opened the door quickly according to close combat doctrine.

No one was in the small apartment, how ever, after putting on my Electronic Detection eye wear, I discovered that the apartment was bugged with relatively basic tech, nothing that either Armed forces would use nor the secret service of Bretonia. This was.. Something else.

After removing all the bugs I began to look trough the entire apartment, inch by inch, it was until I looked under the desk in the room I found a small hidden compartment. It held a map of a old part of the city, about 10 miles from the space port, it had drawn on it a ring around an old warehouse that according to the data on the neural net had been ordered to be demolished later this month.

I quickly ran out and grabbed a cab to the location on the map..

When I had gotten there, I noticed that the warehouse had probably not been used for at least a couple of years, I began to scan the warehouse for.. Anything out of the ordinary, it took not long until I found dried but still usable biological samples on the floor.

After extensive scans and double scans I confirmed the DNA having to belonged to Pekkala, and that the sample was pieces of brain tissue. The scan above shows the conclusion..

My... Final conclusion is that Pekkala was dealing with a organisation, perhaps a crime organization on leeds, perhaps to find out more information or to enlist their help. But something had gone wrong and she had been lured into a trap.

I believe Pekalla was being over confident in her abilities and in the safety of his apartment, one should move at least once a week in order to minimize the chances of being found.

Suggestions for the High Command, investigate further into the possibility of a crime organization on Leeds.

My Report concludes by saying that Sub.Lt Pekkala failed, and was killed because they found out who she was. Most probably she never told anything of importance, as it seams that, thanks to her leaving a map, she had suspicions of the meeting she was heading to about 2 weeks ago..

Lt. Ivan Rasputin, signing out.
