Subject: Encounter Report — “Civil Servant”

---

While preparing for a rendezvous with a local merchant regarding a vessel acquisition, I encountered an individual flying under the cryptic callsign "Civil Servant". The interaction, while not hostile, revealed considerable philosophical depth. The subject described themselves as an observer of the "Void", speaking of it in spiritual and symbolic terms. Their language reflected themes found in the writings of Matsuda Yuyu, albeit framed...

Notable Observations:
• Described their purpose as “monitoring and research,” claiming no political alignment.
• Referred to the Void as a force — a feminine entity, a teacher, and a reflection of human consequence.
• Expressed clear avoidance of structured leadership or written doctrine, due to “cults of personality.”
• Spoke of facilities in Rheinland, though gave no names or coordinates.
• Displayed understanding of GC philosophy — even referencing Yuyu Matsuda directly.

Impression:
This “Civil Servant” operates on the periphery of known factions. Their cryptic nature is not dismissive, but reflective. There is a sense of controlled secrecy — not the kind used for deception, but as a defense against misinterpretation. Their sentiments resonated with our teachings, and their view of the universe as an unforgiving but honest force mirrors parts of our own manifesto.

Closing Reflection:
Our exchange was brief, but I felt a weight behind their words. If what they spoke is truth, then even in the silence of space, the echo of the Sisterhood’s ideals may travel farther than expected. I will remain attentive. Perhaps more can be learned — if not from them, then from the shadow their voice cast.

For the Bloom. For the Dream.
