I got so deep into trying to turn my Deep Omega logs into something resembling a memoir that I almost forgot to file this report. Yes, I know — it’s been a while. HQ already has the samples and the raw notes. I just need to make it readable for normal people… and, uh, redact a few encounters. If any of that reaches De Sousa, I’ve got a brother who’ll kill me.
If we need to run supplies down that line, count me in — Ana already handed me a list.
Anyway.
A few days ago we were in Pennsylvania on a routine convoy to pick up deuterium. Livadia’s core is eating the stuff like Fisher eats the whole Deep Omega. We also had a scheduled sit-down with HQ regarding a local militant group.
I’d love to help openly, but we can’t afford to make another enemy. Corsairs and Nomads are plenty. That said, we can support them quietly.
My task was simple: confirm the contact was who he claimed to be. Leopold ran the small talk while I ran a scan and cross-checked him against intel a few friends forwarded to us at Bethlehem.
Result: the man and his operation are legit.
I gave Leo the green light and we transferred the cash under the cover of “refuelling.” Smart little bastard, Leopold’s got a talent for making money disappear into the right hands without anyone noticing.
Let’s hope it slows Liberty’s grip on Pennsylvania.
Right. I’m going to get some rest.
Oh... one last thing. We picked up a freelancer on the way. “The.Reliable,” allegedly. They do odd jobs and seem to know their way around scientific work. I paid them 500,000 to join as escort from Delta back to the ’Crons.
I’ll let accounting suffer through the paperwork. Bye.

[03.03.2026 21:09:17] Gr.C|EMS-Leatherwood: South: Whaddya know, here they come.
[03.03.2026 21:09:23] Gr.C|EMS-Leatherwood: South: Good to see ya.
[03.03.2026 21:09:38] (\^/)Narkissos: L: That was a long trip.
[03.03.2026 21:09:52] Gr.C|EMS-Leatherwood: South: Probably pretty normal for you guys. How far'd you go out?
[03.03.2026 21:10:00] 2026-03-03 21:09:59 SMT Traffic control alert: (\^/)Hera has docked
[03.03.2026 21:10:01] Gr.C|EMS-Leatherwood: South: Was it straight here from back home?
[03.03.2026 21:10:41] (\^/)Narkissos: L: We cross the whole sirius. Most of the time. It's rare when it's straight A to B. Order change on the fly as trip take weeks
[03.03.2026 21:11:22] Gr.C|EMS-Leatherwood: South: Rare, but sure makes things simpler when it's concrete. Things can change on the fly here, too.
[03.03.2026 21:11:46] (\^/)Narkissos: L: That we know. The new governor made things even more unstable.
[03.03.2026 21:11:58] (\^/)Narkissos: L: A shame if he happens to disappear.
[03.03.2026 21:12:13] Gr.C|EMS-Leatherwood: South: I wasn't originally who was going to be here for this, but things get unpredictable when you got Lib law all over you.
[03.03.2026 21:12:28] Gr.C|EMS-Leatherwood: South: I'm going by "Southpaw" with the rest of the guys.
[03.03.2026 21:12:37] Gr.C|EMS-Leatherwood: South: How do I call you, pal?
[03.03.2026 21:12:50] (\^/)Narkissos: L: Noted. Leopold or Leo will do.
[03.03.2026 21:13:25] Gr.C|EMS-Leatherwood: South: Good meeting you. Glad we picked Beth for this. My crew and I are pretty familiar.
[03.03.2026 21:13:54] (\^/)Narkissos: L: On our side It seems all is in order. I'll start refueling for the journey back.
[03.03.2026 21:14:21] (\^/)Narkissos: L: Do you know the account to pay for the fuel? I'm no longer used on who run this.
[03.03.2026 21:15:07] Gr.C|EMS-Leatherwood: South: Oh yeah, my old "boss" here on Beth when I was in Security? He had to deal with the fuel guy all the time.
[03.03.2026 21:15:15] Gr.C|EMS-Leatherwood: South: Practically know it by heart.
[03.03.2026 21:15:25] Gr.C|EMS-Leatherwood: South: Here, I'll shoot you the details to your console.
[03.03.2026 21:15:51] (\^/)Narkissos: L: Appreciated.
[03.03.2026 21:16:16] Gr.C|EMS-Leatherwood: :: Gr.C|Reserve.Fund - ps: thanks for doin us a solid. i'll tell the big man not to hold a grudge ::
[03.03.2026 21:16:18] (\^/)Narkissos: L: Those trips cost usually in the million but are profitable non the less.
[03.03.2026 21:16:49] [2026-03-03] 21:16:49 You have sent 5.000.000 credits to Gr.C|Reserve.Fund.
[03.03.2026 21:17:04] (\^/)Narkissos: L: That should do. Thanks you
[03.03.2026 21:17:06] Gr.C|EMS-Leatherwood: South: All that deuterium Bristol works at processing has to go somewhere to keep the sector movin', don't it?
[03.03.2026 21:17:12] Gr.C|EMS-Leatherwood: South: They're good people over there.
[03.03.2026 21:17:23] (\^/)Narkissos: L: Livadia core is hungry.
[03.03.2026 21:17:25] Gr.C|EMS-Leatherwood: South: The kind you trust with stuff.
[03.03.2026 21:17:51] Gr.C|EMS-Leatherwood: South: Oh yeah? Ohhh, right, the whole jump drive business.
[03.03.2026 21:18:16] (\^/)Narkissos: L: Ah yeah you heard the lane hacker leak.
[03.03.2026 21:18:29] (\^/)Narkissos: L: They are going crazy about it back there
[03.03.2026 21:19:00] Gr.C|EMS-Leatherwood: South: Oh yeah. All the big designers got to be chomping at the bit by now. Hope you guys can work something out of it.
[03.03.2026 21:19:31] Gr.C|EMS-Leatherwood: South: Our tech needs are more in the "immediate energy transfer" department around this star.
[03.03.2026 21:19:33] (\^/)Narkissos: L: Well hard to tell, seems to be a huge work ahead. But time is money. I will not annoy you any longer. The convoy is waiting
[03.03.2026 21:19:54] (\^/)Narkissos: L: Yeah there is a lot of hull to test those tech.
[03.03.2026 21:20:06] Gr.C|EMS-Leatherwood: South: I'd be happy to run a little extra with you, but I think they don't like my kinda attitude on the lanes.
[03.03.2026 21:20:29] (\^/)Narkissos: L: Expected for those ruffian.
[03.03.2026 21:20:30] Gr.C|EMS-Leatherwood: South: Guess I'll have to pay you back for the good company with a drink and some darts sometime, huh?
[03.03.2026 21:20:42] (\^/)Narkissos: L: Sure thing! Safe journey
[03.03.2026 21:20:51] Gr.C|EMS-Leatherwood: South: Hey, you too, yours sure is longer.

[03.03.2026 21:21:03] (\^/)Akastoia: N: Got it.
[03.03.2026 21:21:09] (\^/)Antioch: S: Ogata
[03.03.2026 21:21:17] Gr.C|EMS-Leatherwood: South: Stay sharp, and mind the "glorious liberators"
