I have met with department heads and final stages of our new operations are underway. All relevant information shall be passed to yourselves shortly. I would also like to add that we have begun using a new coding technique, one of which Agent 007 is yet to get the hang of as I can't read his bloody report! Not to worry, we'll sort out any glitches in the system before you are assigned.
Signed,
Commodore Bentley S. Ashers

Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid. - David Hackworth (1930 - 2005)
the Black Guards recived a emergency call from the Bretonia Armed Forces and the Cravins Nest sends
us out to assist our units at the Cambridge system,where serveral Corsair units of the TBH group
started the attack.
They show up with serveral fighter / Bomber ,the Gaians assist the corsairs with a gunboat.
The BHG had assist the BAF when we arived them but our units was outnumberd 2/1,but all fighting like hell
against the TBH and on the end we destroy and make the enemy leave.
The few enemy units who try to run got hunted from us the Guards,we cut the escape point to Omega 5
2.LT.Campbell and me hunt them until we reach Cadiz Base where the last TBH units heavy demaged docked.
Later after a few minutes of rest time,we found a Zoner flying a gunboat from the Order within cambridge.
The Zoner Pilot got the right papers from the zoners so we ask him out why he was flying a order gunboat,
he told us that this ship type are new from the Zoner shipyard a rebuild and fusion of the order gunship class Harthor.
He told us he went to Freeport 1,but we found him on way to the Leeds Jumphole so we was wondering that he might be kidding us.
We told him to standing by and Campbell checked the databank for his storie.
The Files he found dont show any spy activities or something against bretonian laws in the past,so we decided to escort him out of bretonia to Freeport one on the fastes way.
He complied and dont show any agresion against us,
he was a bit shocked about the situation but i told and suggest him to send a request to the BPA/BAF for a update and new ship registrie of the Zoner Hebryd gunboat.
At Freeport one we leave him and heading back to Headquater.

MSG: Infiltration successful, the only thing I have to worry about so far is keeping my mouth shut after several unavoidable drinks, and speaking in not-so-clear manner as they always do. Other than that, I'm slowly building up my trust among them, although this will take some time I believe.
Also, I've managed to learn of a certain deal between OS&C and Mollys, you can see the transcript below, some edits were nessesary, my apologies:
Addendum: I've got into possession some artifacts... they were unlike any nomad ones I saw, I believe they are the rumored "gallic" artifacts, I've managed to be "accidentaly" shot down, and in the process I've dropped them, they were tractored along with nanobots and other cargo by HMS-Pestilence, you might want to find this vessel and retrieve the cargo.
Good day director and assistant director of the BIS High Command,
this is Jason Crow, Black Guard Captain.
As you see I've made my way back from the enemy space, but the engineers will have a lot of work on my ship now.
All began with a special mission briefing at yesterday morning, a BIS agent invited us for a special escort mission.
The target system was somewhere behind the enemy lines in Gallia and our packet was high priority class.
All what they give us was a secret commlink transponder and the location where we need to pick up the special "packet".
We were told that we will receive our final destination when we'll appear on the scene.
Usual briefing for the Black Guards, and our squads are trained for this exact kind of missions.
Our squad launched from the Craven's Nest HQ and we were ordered to move to planet Leeds, the location we received on briefing.
We rolled out along with our new ship made at Southhampton Shipyard, a new Brick shipclass Gunboat.
I saw this ship before when they delivered it to our main hangar, it still smelled brand fresh, something rare in these times.
We knew we could depend on it in upcoming assignment.
We've reached Planet Leeds and made a quick refuel break.
Then I was informed via security channel that our "packet" is awaiting us in the orbit of the planet.
We've launched and soon we've got two friendly signatures on the scanners, one of them was our "packet",
the other one was a LAF ship.
I've also received new info from the HQ, saying that LAF and BIS will work together in the future and this will
be our first mission together, it also revealed a few details about the mission itself.
As it was easy to predict, our mission would bring us deep behind the Gallic front lines, the order was
to escort and make sure that the Agent will safely arrive at the final destination.
This was the primary objective, the secondary objective was to deliver our special unit to certain location in Tau cluster,
ship piloted by 1st Lieutenant Rich Fadden.
All orders were clear and I was appointed to lead the mission, the black guard and the Lieutenant of the Liberty Air Force entered
defence formation and we moved on to the system of Newcastle.
One of our waypoints was the BMM Scarborough Station, this was the last safe checkpoint where we again refueled for the rest of our journey.
The BMM Administrator was a bit nervous to see the Black Guard on their base, he learned of our arrival just a few minutes earlier,
and was told nothing besides order to let us refuel.
Our "packet" needed to contact the HQ from the base, and the black guard was scouting ahead to make sure
that we don't get into any nasty suprise.
Few minutes later our "packet" was filled and ready to move out, our scout units returned without finding any threats.
Once again we enter defence formation, plot course for Tau-31 and activate cruise engines...
On our way to the T-31 hole, our scout reported a light craft patrol of the GRN.
We've used the asteroid field to cover our scanner signature from them.
All escort units and the "packet" have reached the T31 jumphole without any complications, when sudenly a patrol craft
jumped out of the hole.
Our units instantly engaged with overwhelming force, the GRN pilots haven't even seen us coming.
The Gunboat captain made his job perfectly and after few minutes all enemy units were down.
We've made sure that they didn't had time to send an emergency call.
Unfortunately, despite the fact that the gunboat was brand new, it sustained a system malfunction,
it seems that some systems got overheated.
Well, a shame on our shipbuilders, but this can happen with new ships,the gunboat captain flew back to receive nessesary repairs.
Rest of us moved on and jumped to Tau-31.
We've got under heavy fire as soon as we arrived, it seems the units which we managed to destroy earlier were just a scouting party.
Despite that, we proceeded to defend the "packet" with all our might. Few minutes later we got more ships incomming.
Thankfuly they turned out to be GRN-blood thirsty outcasts. We used them as a cover to sneak out of the fight,our priority was
to escort not fight. We flew away deeper into the Ice fields which covered us from any more suprises in this system.
Next stop,system Tau-23.
We arived Tau-23 without any new complications, we remodulate our transponder signature to hide us for a short time
from the enemy units patroling around the Gate.
We've immediately set course to Orkney system.
the Orkney itself was much easier to navigate than expected, we've met close to no resistance.
At the wreck of the Reunion we detected the famous minefield which blocked the entrace to Gallia.
Thanks to the map uploaded to our autopilot system earlier by BIS agents we managed to fly through without any issues whatsoever.
As expected, we've got detected by the enemy patrols, and the Lieutenant and me broke the formation and
engaged the enemy to keep them busy while the "packet" moves through the scrap metal fields of Languedoc.
Once the "packet" confirmed that he's safe for now, we've made our way towards him.
Some of the GRN was brave and try to folow us trough the mines,but they weren't as good as we were and some of them
crashed into the mines.
The rest of the GRN decided to let us run, they expected that our ships would be blown up anyway.
And well they were almost right, almost being the key word, we detected a massive enemy signatures, but we managed to hide
in an old battleship wreck hangars, the scrap field itself was enormous, it would propably take our entire fleet to create something this big.
The GRN kept looking for us for several minutes before giving up.
While in the battleship hangar I saw Liberty pilot's face, making it clear that the whole thing is an insanity, and it's
a miracle that we're still alive.
We waited serveral more minutes before we enabled our communication systems again,
all seemed clear around us and we moved up to the "packet" again.
We escorted him through the Scrap Field, when the "packet" told us to stop.
He told us that this the end of the mission, and he will reach the final destination on his own.
I saluted and we turned around,
our new objective was to find a way back to our home space in one piece.
The LAF Lieutenant and me managed to sneak trough the Languedoc Jumphole back to Orkney.
All was fine,but at the jumphole to tau-23 we've got enemy units on screen, this time it was a GRN Cruiser with serveral
fighter escort.
We were both already damaged during the action in Languedoc, and nanobots were on low supply...
We knew this could be our end now, just one mistake and we are stardust.
I told him my plan to break trough, it was a dangerous plan but the only one we've got at the moment, our timing had to be perfect.
Plan was: We tranfer all energy to our trusters: weapons, shields, comms, even lifesupport, we could use our CO2 emergency masks to breath for a while.
We've made our way past the first encounter squadron and almost reached the second wave when the lieutenant
of the Liberty Navy sent all nanobots he got left to my ship.
"I will make sure you stay alive Captain!" He shouted and turned into the second wave kept
them busy for me...
A really brave Pilot of the honoured Liberty Air Force!
There was nothing I could do for him, he was soon out of my scanner range and it seems they managed to hit his comm systems...
He disapeared from my screen, I expect nothing good,and got a bad feeling.
I threw away all my thoughs, and concentrated on the GRN Cruiser which was sitting next to the Tau-23 Jumphole.
I dodged the first wave of missles and energy weapon fire, and used a dangerous maneuver which brought me right under the cruiser,
where I left some nuclear mines as my godbye gift.
The Nukes interupted the truster engines of the cruiser for a short time, giving me the chance, which I instantly took and quickly
jumped to Tau-23.
I used the fastest way back and jumped into the gate to Tau-31, and noticed that the cruisers engines are back up, as he was in pursuit just behind me.
Under enemy fire I took the trade lane to Holman outpost, the weapon platforms got me on target, but a templar is a tough nut to crack, and a small one.
Still, with the cruiser on my neck I decided to try yet another danger maneuver, I disabled the tradelane autopilot protocol
and used manual steers, on the cruise speed, then I placed a nuke just before activating the lane itself jumped trough before the nuke blew up lane engines.
The cruiser commander had no way to pursue me this way.
I bet he was most upset about the situation.
Soon I reached the Leeds Gate, at which I got support from our
BAF units who cleared the gate for me, propably BIS job again.
I've made my way to Planet Leeds and waited for the Craven's Nest to pick me up after my ship received repairs.
The Black Guard reporting mission succesfull, Sir!
This is all for now, Crow out.
PS:
I heard that the Pilot of the Liberty Air Force was drifting but alive and that an IMG miner of Liberty origin brought him back,
I am really glad to hear this, we need every pilot we can get, and the attitude of this one was beyond recognition,
it would be a pleasure to fly alongside him again, as with the rest of the LAF.
Good day director and assistant director of the BIS High Command,
my ship was repaired and i though i go for a system test out for patrol.
The Cravens Nest inform me later that a enemy unitwas seen near system Leeds.
On my patrol around Leeds i found nothing to report,so i decide to take a look into Edinburgh.
Just few minutes later i got a enemy signature on my scanner,it shows me GRN transponder IDs.
When i close up to the enemy i noticed that serveral BAF units was on him,but it seems the rookies wasnt be
able to manage this enemy Pilot.
I orderd him to stop killing the BAF pilots but he didnt listen and captured them and tryed to run.
After serveral minutes of hunting he though he can handle me and faced me in a combat.
Well the guncam shows how it end for him... ____________________ -File uploaded- ____________________ -File-1-:>OPEN FILE< -File-2-:>OPEN FILE< -FIle-3-:>OPEN FILE< ____________________
I contacted later a Captain of the Merchant Navy,for the missing BAF mates which i got with me,i trac them out before the enemy ship explode so the enemy pilot.
The Merchan Navy Captain handed the enemy out to Planet New london.
The BAF got there a nice jail for him.
The mates of the BAF was a bit broke up,but atleast alive and save now,i bet after few days of rest they are up again.
After this i escort the Merchant Navy Captain for a escort Mission,which is classifield for now.
When the job was done i went to Salisburgh for some traings simulation for a BAF Ensign.
This guy was pretty skilled and i guess he could have a good future within the Black Guards.

On Monday morning the Commander of the Cravens recived a emergency call
from some civilians at Omega 3.
They report that units of the Wild was seen near the Zoner Freeport 1.
Our Mission was to check the location of the Wilde and to defend all civilians and the Station Freeport 1.
2nd lieutenant Campbell and me moves out and we got soon support from the GCHQ sir Ashers.
We arived after few minutes at omega 3 and i was scouting ahead for the Wilde units.
2nd lieutenant Campbell and me meet us on Freeport 1,but the wanted units wasnt there anymore instead of the
Wilde we found some hessians hanging around with synth mariohanna.
We scan the area around freeport one and when sir Ashers arived he start to interview the civilians.
A GMG miner report us that he crashed together with one of the Wilde units,so i go for a intensive scan on his ship.
The ship was ok just some scraches on the huil,no sign for a invection.
In the time between the Freeport administrator show up,we got a nice talk then we go for a patroll trough omega 3.
We call back to Headquater Cravens Nest for informations about the Wilde units,they report us they disapeard
from the long range scanners so we leave omega 3 and patroll aroung the bretonia systems.
Few hours later we got informed by allied units that a Corsair base was seen at system Cambridge.
From our informations we know that the base shields wasnt finish build,so we contact the BAF for heavy
support to destroy the base of the Corsairs.The Base belongs to the Corsair group named "Benitez".
The Black Guards split up and was scaning the area of the locations which we got few minutes ago from a Agent.
The BAF found the base and start immediately to destroy the base before heavy backup of the enemy got chance to
interupt our operation.
The base got few guard pilots to defend the base,but fortunately Campbell and me was in the range of them and we start a
interception maneuvre.
In the hunt we got split up and each of us faced a corsair alone.
But like always,they are poor to mess with us so we show them what they get if they try it.
The HMS-Invictus from the baf managed to take one enemy down,my little fly was the next and how you can
expect sir,Campbell takes his enemy after me down too.
We report just some scratches on the huil,nothing dangerous,but the enemy lost 0-3.
Fast in Fast out,thats our way,Black Guards Mission "into the Blue" Complete,sir.
*See Visual guncam Files 1-6*
After this end of our mission we head back to headquater and got a beer or two.
On the next morning i went out for a patroll,when a civilian call me on the emergency channel that a ruge
Molly bomber fly around and destroy depots of the BMM base Southhampton.
I was fast there and try to stop him before he destroy the last depot but this strange bomber men didnt listen
to my order.I was going to fine him for that but he denied to this so the second option was that i destroy hims
vessel and trac him into my ship for a nice and save trip to the jails on the cravens nest.
Option two was resonable and i open fire,one minute later i was on way to cravens nest.
*See Viasual guncam Files 7-10*
After that i got order from HQ to check the system for a wanted ship.
It was a IDF ship withing bretonia core seen so this got priority one to find this enemy ship.
From the long range scanners it should be somewhere in system New London so i start there my patroll.
I got later report about this vessel that it was seen serveral times in system Edinborgh,and i got a feeling i would
meet this vessel on the cambridge gate.So i set my autopilot to cambridge gate and see there bingo,
i can always trust my tummy,the ship was going for the trade lane to Planet London.
I cut the trade lane behind me and orderd the vessel to cut all engines.
But then i was feeling like in a miracle...this ship got a IFF signature from ZONERS Papers from the IC
and ship transponder from the IDF!This i never saw before in my Duty time,i load immediately all weapons to 100%
this screams for a spying unit.
I interview this weird captain and ask him out.He told me the nice storie about that he was going to deliver
a BAF base at the Edinburgh system and that this vessel got just a covername that they dont get harmed by the GRN.
Well sir i dont know what this pilot had smoke before that he belive that i buy his storie.
I orderd him to folow me to planet london and there he should drop the cargo of Basic Aloys to the BIS base on planet.
He refused to my order two times and this was enough for me,i dont risk a spy within bretonia core inmy duty time!
I engage and hunt this pilot to dublin,unfortunately i didnt got a CD mounted on my ship so i decide to...
...stop quick on the battleship essex,where the engeneers got a portable Wasp CD ready for my ship.
After they replaced my Mini Razor to the CD i move out and got luck,the IDF pilot wasnt far away.
But he was still out of range for me but unfortunately for the pilot i had know his destination*evil smile*
And i got right again near the Edinburgh Jumphole i got chance to close up to the wnated ship.
The pilot got nervous and was shocked to see me that fast back again,and decide a danger moneuver
and moved his ship into the Corona of dublin.
I open fire with CD´s and make sure he wasnt be able to make a move,he though my ship will go down faster then his...
...Poor guy.

MSG: I am still undetected, and have acquired some very important intel regarding molly defense perimeter.
They are building up, a lot. Recently they've pulled off a Sarissa wreck that remembers Union of Gold, and are pulling all their resouces to make it operational once again, fortunately, it's engines are beyond repair and it will not be able to move outside of Arranmore perimeter. It is said it will be manned both by Molly and SCRA crew. The materials we are supposed to gather are as following: Basic Alloy, H-fuel, Super Alloys, Robotic Components and Ship Hull Panels, main source of resouces will be the the piracy.
On another note, Mollys are scratching their base building project indefinitely, it seems it would stretch their resouces too thin.
The rogue FTU base known as Arklow was to be defended if possible, although no resouces were actually commited before the base destruction. I have not heard about any plans to attack the King's Cross Station.
Also, the third dublin gold field recently discovered by BMM is already known to the Mollys.
Last but not least, Mollys are going to do something about their stance with GRN, no idea if make them enemies or friends, I'll make my best to send them at each other's throats.
Addendum: I don't know how much more scotch my liver can take.
ID: Agent Coldstream Subject: Contact with the Order Classification: High
I was dispatched to make contact with a possible Order agent reported in the Leeds system, contrary to our reports the Order was not hostile nor did it take up any form of hostile positioning. At first I assumed the transmission had been altered as the video and voice was of a young teenage girl, incredibly the agent was indeed a teenager using the alias Kira. Bretonia is viewed as a tolerant nation in the eyes of this particular agent, with the exception of Rheinland the Order are condemned as terrorists and often removed by force most notably in Liberty.
However my meeting with Kira was cut short by an unusual transmission from a Liberty Navy Commander by the name of Angelina Dimitrova in the Cortez system, the call was urgent and rather vague. I had no wish to lose this rare opportunity as such I invited Kira to accompany me to the Innverness jumphole in Cortez knowing full well what might and indeed did occur.
Officer Dimitrova had stopped a smuggler by the name of Kate Golanska who had refused to hand over remains of four nomad gunboats to the Liberty Navy instead she would only hand them over to a Bretonian officer. The moment Agent Kari appeared on scanners Commander Dimitrova became aggresive, threatening Kari and voicing her strong distain of her presence under my protection.
Upon reciept of the remains I was asked by Commander Dimitrova to hand over half of the remains as it was a "Joint Operation" this seemed rather suspicious and informed the Commander that I must confirm with my Director whom I attempted to contact without success. During my attempt the situation between the three ladies had deteriorated rapidly, Ms Golanska offered her opinion on the Delta Wing currently operating in Bretonia noting their poor survival. I waived this aside and request she accompany me back to Bretonia for questioning, Commander Dimitrova assumed an interrogation and wished to be part of it. Naturally Ms Golanska retorted quite defensively while Commander Dimitrova and Agent Kari exchanged words. It should be noted that all of the aggresion was on part of the Liberty Navy Commander ending with Dimitrova attempting to arrest Agent Kari.
I swiftly moved Ms Golanska and Agent Kari into Bretonian space, thanking the Commander for her excellent work and assuring her she will be contacted regarding the nomad remains.
Inside Manchester I began questioning Ms Golanska about the remains, her answers were quite unusual. She aquired the remains whilst Order forces engaged Lane Hackers by planet Wichita in the Kansas system. The refusal to hand over the remains to any Liberty officer was down to Liberty's past, Agent Kira agreed with Ms Golanska offering her opinion that Liberty is the least prepared to handle alien technology both sharing distinct dislike of President Powell. Ms Golanska's intent with the remains appears to be supplying a hidden research base somewhere in the Omega systems and crewed by a lot of Maltese scientists. She also defends them from Corsair, Hessian and SCRA attacks, even protecting others from these same threats. At this time Agent Kira mentioned her experiments with advanced technology that could cause devastating damage to three quarters of a solar system known as the McKay Effect. She also mentioned her work with the nomads and suprisingly AI constructs.
Attempts to learn of the scientists organisation were carefully deflected by Ms Golanska, not wishing to burn a potential source of information I allowed her to go free. Interestingly enough she wished to her Agent Kira's opinion regarding the nomads and the reasoning behind our meeting assuming the two were linked, Kira stated our meeting was merely a measure of tolerance while asking about Ms Golanska's organisation who deflected the question once again by mentioning she was on holiday currently but letting slip that she rarely left the Omircon and Omega systems whilst on duty. I had been in space now for several hours and becoming quite thirsty, this seem a perfect opportunity to gather more intel so I invited both to Birmingham station for drinks. I had station security remove all evidence of our presence and a section of the bar closed, the barkeep and station manager have been paid for their troubles.
Whilst walking to the bar Kira and Ms Golanska began talking about Osiris battleships, the ship originates in Liberty the blueprints were stolen from them some twenty years ago. According to the two sources they are in use by three factions, The Order, The Corsairs and the Coalition. The Coalition ships being the Karl Marx and the Havana. According the Kira the Corsair version of the Osiris is less effective than a true Order built battleship citing the inner technology as the difference.
My gambit had paid off, once at the table with drinks a great deal of information was gathered, in particular the destruction of an entire Order controlled planet Toledo by Nomad forces and Outcast member of the Order by the name of Santini. Another point of interest was Alaska, where extensive technological research takes place with the intention of overtaking the Liberty Navy according to both women.
The discussion then shifted to Nomads and the Wild, moreover Agent Kari seemed to think that a woman named Robinson could be infected by a nomad lifeform and I quote "a big meanie." Talk of the Bounty Hunters Guild Core was quite the learning experience, by all accounts they are utterly posessed in their persuit of technology frequently attacking the Order and Nomads with a complete disregard for human life.
Kari gave a very serious warning that the Nomads could easily bypass the Liberty defense and inflict similiar damage to Toledo, urging co-operation between all the peoples of Sirius she was convinced that without such unity we would share the same fate as the million lost on their planet.
I have the transponders of both Agent Kari and Ms Golanska should we need to contact them again, the nomad remains are secure in my ships hold. I will await your decision of their fate aboard Birmingham Station.

MSG: I am slowly going up in the ranks, building up trust without directly attacking any bretonian assets, I even led a strike wing against corsairs yesterday in Cambridge.
The corsairs seem to build yet another base, this time not in Bretonia space, but in deep omegas, or beyond, I intercepted a transport full of gallic cryocubes that was moving toward Omega 5 hole in Cambridge, they seem to use Leeds-Cambridge corridor quite often, keeping a MI5 patrols in the area is advised.
Bowim company seemed to attempt to contact mollys, investigate at your own discression.
Also Gateway ships are on not-to-bother list.
During my back trip from Liberty to grab a few Rogues guns I have checked the Interveness system, what I found there will propably interest you, a lot.
Tensions between Mollys and group of zoners known as S.E.F. might end up in an armed conflict.
Also, within 2 hours since this message upload, there will be joint smuggling operation, details are vague, meeting point is Belfast, I'll be propably on escort duty, so I can give out intel regarding their location, time is of the essence!
There is an unauthorized base called Turtle in Newcastle, level 2, grid location 6FG, 10k above the plane, Mollys are aware of it's existence too. Shielding active, docking restricted.
One more thing, mollys are in posession of a cloak ship, uploading pictures.
