Nice to see you around, James. I'm sending this to inform you that Pacifica's medbays have already received some needed supplies. I've run two oxygen payloads with a litle extra on top and also filled water and pharm requirements, getting these from Hamburg and New Berlin. Acquiring Nanomembrane Filters was a tough one, but after little bargaining with the merchant onboard Cold Depot, I received the needed amount to deliver. The birdie was used for all shipping except oxygen were my own transport with Rhein civilian papers, to keep suspicion at bare minimum.

Here're some proofs

A man sitting on his leather chair is projected upon your screen. "A'ight listen up! This is how things are goin' recently."
He straightens his jacket, looking back into the camera. "Anyways. As much as I love sittin' back in my chair and not doin' anythin', just watchin' the numbers grow... That's not why I'm 'ere for. Like it or not we gotta do somethin'. At the moment our markets are as open as ever and our economy is bloomin'... So perhaps we shouldn't change anythin' there just yet. Tho somethin' we can do is focus on Bering a bit more... I'm therefore assignin' a snub squad to go patrol Bering. With this bein' said I have one particular Unioner scum in mind." He giggles slightly with his rough voice. "I'm talkin' to you, Niska. You're to lead a squadron in Bering for the time bein'. This might or might not be new to you. I don't really give a f*ck. You've been drafted boyo. Go put together a team and go shoot stuff down in Bering. You and your man will be well awarded. And who knows perhaps you'll EVEN make a name for yourself." He stands up moving closer to the camera. "As it is right now. We'll do something about the logistics so we can focus on multiple fronts soon. You should all expect some more jobs, missions, and... 'activities of interests' to be announced soon." The man salutes. "Peace."

Tervehdys 'ystävät',

I'm already in the field, made a few trips. Just had my Arbeiter powered down, drifting real good. Been watching the Navy patrols for a while, this Liberty presence got me chain smokin', don't like it. They got some nice lookin' hardware, high grade stuff, might be worth the salvage if we can crack 'em.

I'll see about gettin' some likeminded suicidal idiots out here, hit 'em real good. Gunna need some Bombers rolled out onto the deck, couple a'mine layers might be nice too.

Headin' back to Pacifica now, goin' back to radio silence.

There's a wide smile on the mans face. "Nice! Look... Look... I don't like those Liberty Navy fools either. So hear me out. We should do somethin' about it. Not only do we have the home field advantage we also have the element of surprise. I might have a slight plan regardin' this but we should perfect it before it goes to action. If we could get some of their hardware of off their ships, we could do a whole lotta things with it." He becomes a bit more serious and puts a cigar in his mouth, lighting it eventually and puffing the smoke out of his nose. "So... As it is for the bomber. Y'all got all the fundin' you may need. Just say the word. The banks are gettin' filled... I'm wonderin' if anyone would be interesed in a convoy 'roun here. There might be one soon. Keep up the good work."

"One more thing. I'll need to speak to someone at GEIST regardin' somethin'. Drop me a message or knock on my door if you find yourself fittin'."

Transmission starts. "Greetings. Ladies and gentlemen. There's a slight announcement to be made 'ere.
We've come to the conclusion regardin' a certain branch of the Liga. For a rather long time, the GEIST has been one of our biggest concerns and its 'inactivity' was a pain in the a*s. So after a long period of plannin', we've decided that the GEIST will be given a new leader. Somone fresh. Motivated and loyal to the Liga. Someone who will lead his man proudly into new and dangerous missions all across Sirius. The GEIST's missions have already been planned and its new leader will be informed about them once it's certain who it is. With that being said we've gathered a few candidates that will be informed about their promotion shortly. In the meantime, anyone who would be interested in bein' moved into GEIST should state their business HERE. And he/she will be informed about the decision privately."

FIELD TRANSMISSION

Ain't this the life?

This is quite retrograde; processing proof-of-delivery got nightmarish. Remember, Unionists, Don't think of this as an excuse for why this report's coming in three weeks late; think of it as an incentive for us to expedite our documentation.

This was our first attempt at a combined run to Gallia with our allies, the Corsairs.

We went in bulk. No isolated freighter shipments - The Liga and the Elders weren't going subtle this time; the convoy was as much a statement of intent as it was meant to deliver payload.

Short of data on how the Gallic underworld would react, we didn't go timid; we brute-forced the issue, taking in twelve transports and frigates, plus escorts.

The cargo?

Malvada Artifacts.

We handed off sufficient tonnage to flood the Corsican markets. If they're wise - and they seem to be - they'll ration the stones, retailing them slow and incremental. They'll be able to fix prices for alien artifacts across the Gallic sector.

Well done, Unionists.

The convoy wasn't without hitches - they'll be brought up with the Corsairs at Pacifica Summit. Nor was the convoy without losses; three transports of the Syndicate were lost to forces of the Gallic Royal Navy, during a skirmish in Tau 31. We neutralized the aggressors in-turn. Remembrance ceremonies are scheduled in three wake cycles; check your calendars for the specifics, Unionists. Bang a rivet for those who gave their last.

Delivery transports: 12 transports/frigates ( 2/3rds Unioners, 1/3rd Corsairs) - All delivered

Cargos shipped include:

Alien Artifacts - Gamma -> Burgundy [All transports delivered their cargo]
Hypotainment Bands - Burgundy -> New London [9 transports delivered their cargo - 3 lost to Gallic Anti-Smuggling Enforcement Units]
Wildcat Gold - Dublin -> Hamburg [3 transports delivered their cargo]

Unioner Diplomacy – Message Dump
Compiled Communications Log
Filed by: Friedrich Kruger, Unioner Diplomatic Ambassador

1. Establishing Contact with the Gaians
Reference: “Rekindling the Wild Roots”

As Unioner Diplomatic Ambassador, I reached out to the Gaians with a tone of respect and recognition.
Our histories overlap in places shaped by exile, sacrifice, and ideological perseverance.

The message acknowledged:
– Their environmental struggle
– Their unique hardships
– The longstanding if quiet mutual respect between our groups

Their initial openness signals fertile ground for cooperation — discreet, but promising.

2. Contact with the Unione Corse – Requesting Lucullus Liners
Reference: “Renewing Old Trade Ties”

I sent a diplomatic communication to the Unione Corse Command, formally requesting the purchase of three Lucullus-class Liners.

In the message, I emphasized:
– Our intent to use the vessels for Zurich-region research and industrial utility
– Our trustworthiness, backed by documented artifact delivery
– A desire to rekindle the old respect and cooperation between our organizations

The request remains under their review, but the foundations laid are solid and professional.

3. Contacting Former Independent Mining Guild Workers
Reference: “A Call to the Forgotten Worker”

One of the more heartfelt transmissions I’ve issued — a message directed at the forgotten laborers of the Independent Mining Guild.

I appealed to:
– Their dignity
– Their skill
– The injustice they endured from corporations and Hessians alike

The communication did not demand allegiance, but rather extended an invitation:
To join a cause rooted in worker empowerment, not exploitation.
The tone was personal, humane, and honest — as any outreach to fellow workers must be.

4. Strengthening the Alliance with Deterrence
Reference: “Forging the Pact”

This diplomatic engagement stands as a milestone — perhaps the most significant alliance-building I have been part of.

After extensive talks, we achieved:
– A technological exchange program
– Joint industrial cooperation
– Foundations for collaborative ship development
– Renewed military understanding
– A ceremonial agreement sealed with mutual respect

This alliance is not built on convenience but on shared resilience and complementary strengths.
It represents a new era for the Unioners — one forged with honor and careful diplomacy.

FIELD TRANSMISSION

Recently, I took my first step out of the station life, most of you do not know me but that is fine, if you did, that would mean your on-board computer and communications gear would have at some point malfunctioned. We put a lot of care into each of the vessels, but moreso our stations and remote equipment. It's a quaint little room with a handful of people you will probably never meet because most of us require quiet and focus to work.

Some of you might have seen me on duty guiding people in to dock on Pacifica...

Anyway, not important. I am sending this to all of us who work with the more delicate parts of our operations as well as the ones aware of the excursion along which I was sent, so as not to clog up the public channels until all of the information is sorted. It will take some time, I am still receiving readings from some of my- ah, yes.

I might seem a little out of place here, among our brothers and sisters working the lanes and the shipyard.
But we're all specialists at something, we workers. Without us recluses at the back, your computer wouldn't tell you what your scanner reads, or which one of your friends is hailing you.

Which is why I was so adamant I come along and deploy the survey probes on behalf of the union.
It's... I don't really like flying the ships myself?
But I am glad I did.

The point? Ah yes, let's uh, have the summary.

We proceeded into the omegas as per planned, though with the hessian presence, many of our original number had to distract our, hm... "neighbors".
I am glad to report seeing most of them have made it home, but they could not continue with us at the time.

So, we went into the omegas, deep into them, the hessian presence is surprising so far away from the tradelanes, though they appear to be fighting the corsairs very heavily in one such system.

Beyond there, however, we found something surprising.
Unmanned vessels broadcasting communications!
...I am not sure I can classify them as unmanned. The vessels themselves appeared to be the ones communicating. Like a... Imagine one of the machines that automate certain docking environments, we have a few of those in reserve- not important.

Where was I?
Oh yes, they were broadcasting signals that were, well, not broadcasts the way we communicate ship-to-ship.
I have a habit of watching the ECC (Electronic Combat Console), it's like an oldschool scanning function these days, and- let's face it, if you're in a snubcraft and being shot at, you're not going to try and also disrupt the other fighter's internal systems. Though it can replace energy-hampering weaponry, it is more an art for subterfuge, or sufficiently advanced ships with a larger crew count.

Or if you're looking for cloaks or other ships after your scanner has been disabled.

...I'm getting off track so I will right my course again.
I noticed they were sending a variety of signals that followed some manner of patterns.
We, I jury rigged a solution- I still have the burns, by the way!
I managed to rewire the comms array to send and record signals in pulses. I've attached a file on what to look for, if anyone is particularly interested.
Anyway, we worked out a way to communicate with them, though it feels extremely inelegant of a solution, like trying to not accidentally insult someone. I could only really guess at how to speak to these autono- intelligent machines.
They seemed to understand coding well enough, if we had a better software expert on hand I could ask, we could probably go over the logs to have a basic syntax, which we could, maybe, convert to a speech function with our own vessels- though I would suggest at least a frigate class for housing the machinery required to make it 'fluent' if we consider it in the future.

...But we may not have to.
We lost them in the asteroid fields after a while- the hessians were practically omnipresent in the system at the time, relentless, but not smart enough to send a proper squadron at a time- so we managed to slip into a completely uncharted set of systems, as far as we can tell.
Much to my chagrin, the hessian presence prevented me from grabbing a visual recording of that encounter.

While I will be able to extract more visual data in time, I am focusing on logging the numbers from our excursion. I have attached a scant few images from the first system, I'm sure some of the other members of our excursion have better ones.
We found several planets in the next system- and back to the important part about the previous encounter, we met another one of these machine vessels- this one fully capable of communicating with and self-correcting its language use- our language! It joined us and showed us the way to further systems, one highly anomalous zone full of hazards- but potentially fuel, if we had any way of handling active, natural fission material...

But moreso it was a pathway to the Fischer anomaly.
For those of you who don't know- that's a black hole documented a while back.
I have attached a few more images of this, it is breathtaking...
But I will admit I had my stomach in my throat the whole time.

Our exploration vessel did find something extraordinary inside one shattered planet there, I will refrain from talking in depth about it, but I'm sure the news has hit at least one of the processing crews while we decide on if it is achievable for us to extract more of this. But we definitely need to come back more prepared next time.

Now, I will likely hand in a full, detailed debrief with time, but right now we are sorting through the data the probes are sending before their batteries die out so I will sign off for now, just keep an eye on the infobank if you're interested in geology. This could be a new frontier for us- and if we're lucky and stumble across more intelligent machines, perhaps we could make some friends, ja? Anyway, I'm headed to Pacifica with some data so we can see if we have the means to process this-

If not, I have someone in mind. But I would prefer if someone with more experience handled such decisions. I will focus on what I am good at while the data is still fresh.
This could be important for the unioners.
