Re: SURVEILLANCE CONTINUES
Lieutenant Orkis, its Jericho. Our contact in the development commity got busted for embezzlement. She got too greedy with the resources at her disposal and skimmed enough to get noticed by the Neopian ■■■■■. If the whispers I’ve heard are any indicator, she’s going to be on ‘extended leave’ for the next several months, but still retained. Doubt she’ll be much use once she resurfaces.
We’re continuing our surveillance of the Eugales system, and it seems like they are indeed continuing construction in orbit of planet VI. At a scale that I find concerning in the extreme. That orbital facility they’ve been developing… its getting bigger every day, constant inflow of materials, drones, and workers. I know we have some pretty massive stations and shipyards spread about, but this is starting to get beyond just ‘developing infrastructure.’ Its all administrated by UNF staff, and can’t even get beyond the docking or tether access zones without an armed escort.
Officially, they’re ‘enforcing’ the System of Interest claim stakes by the UPA over in Archa, but this isn’t just astromining and security&shipping build-up… they’re full on moving in. And they aren’t slowing down.
More concerning, I think, is that this is all happening and courts aren’t giving a peep, ■■■■ even other memberstates in neighbouring systems that previously were up in arms about the SoI at all are now quietly sitting back and letting it go. I think its time to make a move. I still have some old contacts in the FIO, may be able to help.
I’m going to try and get another contact on the inside, and slip in a few plants.
I’ll keep you posted.

Jericho
