EVENTS UNFOLDING
Bonjour commander, captain.
Prior to an upcoming report about Jericho situation. The sites there are activated, though now there's no beam pointing out somewhere, the moon is only covered by a sort of shield, emminated from the columns on it's surface. So it's either a final part of this chain, or it will continue later.
A technocrat, no other than Keeper Revenant was sighted there as well, with her cloaking device failing. But what was more important - is a signal I've managed to catch. The recording is attached.
The "Temples" mentioned are, presumably, the sites on Sudbury and Jericho, maybe even more, because... The Gateway. It might be the Earhart, maybe it's something that is getting prepared by the activation of Sudbury and now - Jericho that we observed yesterday.
No matter how it is - I'm ready to head out for Earhart and I'm awaiting orders.

EARHART INVESTIGATION
Greetings.
To Andrea - get over with your trip in the closest days. What then - it depends, but if nothing comes up in Earhart I need you back in Coronado.
To the others - pack your things. We are getting ready to visit Earhart, I need you to be ready to go within the next 3 days, RV on Dabadoru, all orders about refueling and resupplying will be set up shortly. We won't risk it in Earhart itself with using covert ships, so gear up as good as you can. It will be a long and dangerous studying operation. As always.
Keep your head up, all of you. We are not insured against emergencies.

RE:EARHART TRIP
This time was successful in any extent possible. I feel like we are on brink of a breakthrough, stepping into something massive and defining all that is happening right now. The system that I witnessed is truly.. Something. Feels like a lost and broken link of a giant chain. The info about that flight will be on my report, and this message mostly has another purpose.
As we came back, Dr. Thorn, who was guiding me all the way, also providing valuable intel and theories, needed help regarding her physical condition. I led her to Atum, under my watch and we were not followed. Check-ups conducted onboard proved her clear. Medics said that she will be good to go after a bit of time, likely in a following night, though I would vouch for her to stay longer if needed. Both for keeping an eye on her and for ensuring Dr. Thorn of being safe, while working with us. I figured that keeping her close this time would be wise.
I hear rumors that Atum is already been seen anyway. Maybe Gaians let hearsays loose or someone peeked where they are not supposed to.
Also I would like to ask to provide for me what's known about Earhart as a whole as of now, since the basic descriptions were not enough... And, honestly, I might have some guesses about it.

FURTHER OPERATIONS
Guten tag.
I would like to inform you that some of the Gaians are already interested in your previous meetings with the Technocrats. In order to avoid any problems, I am forwarding you a message that will make it clear to you how to proceed.
Regarding Thorn: Adam is busy at the moment, and so the order will come from me personally, as the head of all operations in Vespucci and related systems. The orders are to continue to monitor her, but don't go too far. Although we've already made contact with the Gaians, we'll need your skills in the case of LSF and Crayter. Koji already knows about your work with this scientist, and he believes that for her own safety she should be with us. Make efforts to lure Dr. Thorn into the ranks of The Order.
Independent researchers and scientists like to rely on their independence, but the harsh reality is that most of them are sent to their graves by the first person they meet who doesn't care. At worst, they will side with the enemy.

ABOUT THREATS
Guten tag.
A few days ago, a certain “V. Abrams” contacted us, attempting to threaten the Brigade's operations within the Coronado system and beyond. According to reports, he is the pilot of the ship “Caliban.” This individual has been confirmed infected due to the use of Nomad hybrid weapons aboard his ship. His threats and my brief response can be found in the files below.
Why am I doing this? Caliban is known for his piloting skills, and you are not. I hereby order you to replace your ship with a civilian one, rewrite the transponder codes, and hand over the Bastet you are using to other Brigade pilots who will arrive at Barrier Gate within the next 24 hours. It's one thing if one of us gets hit, but it's another if it's you. I'm not going to risk you.
The status of your work with Dr. Thorn remains unchanged. Regarding the Erhart research, Koji invites you to his cabin for a private conversation. According to him, it will be easier than sending messages here.

RE: ABOUT THREATS
Bonjour,
Duly noted. I will depart to Barrier Gate soon, both for your orders and a conversation with monsieur Koji.
Though I must admit and note, that piloting a Bastet of all things, while remaining open about the IFF transmission proved effective enough with my line of work. Sudden change of a ship, callsign and transponder data will be problematic in this area, if I am to continue collecting data from people around. Not to mention that it would require giving my "cover" away, practically making it useless.
As for the new threat that got to communicate with us - I'm sure I can handle it one way or another, be it by fight, by the help of "friends" that were made in the past month or by fleeing away. You shouldn't worry of that risk, I'm familiar with smoothening out the edges. What I propose, is using both, when the situation demands different approach or our newly arrived colleagues need my current vessel. If that's possible.

FLIGHT PERMISSION
Guten tag.
I think it's worth reconsidering the decisions made, and therefore the ship will remain with you. We will work according to your idea, leave everything else to us.

SCHWARTZ
Waldemar, detain Alfred immediately. Officially, on suspicion of infection. Check all his electronic devices and email. Basically, anything that carries data. Koji will help you.
