I-218-Oliver: Spanial (Docked at Captree Main Orbital)
Captree Main Orbital
He can do some shopping for those things and head back to the ship.
Jennie is aboard and tells Oliver that Karmen is out looking for a speculative cargo to preserve the ship’s cover when they return from delivering Oliver to the Separatists.
It is GB01 on 211.481.
LDA Message
I assume Oliver will check his LDA at some point while on the station. The following message from Felicity appears to be in response to this message of Oliver’s.
To: UOF Oliver Starr
From: UOF Felicity Lazar-Opes
Sent: 211.419
Thank you for the update Oliver, I have forwarded your report on the events on Pristine to Commissar CDR Usher.
Please be advised, your promotion confirmation finally got authorised: Congratulations Commissar Under Officer Starr!
For info, I have been doing some digging into your shipmates, as follows:
Erin Malan
Malan is a former employee of independent shipping partnership Speedbirds and was charged as an accessory to both smuggling and the murder of a Legion undercover operative, Commissar Officer Sameena Bock. However, the Legion withdrew the prosecution as not being in the interests of the Security and Good Order of the Dominion to proceed. Malan subsequently had new spacer credentials issued by the Vizierate out of GRRAS. Incidentally, Malan appears on a list of possible Enclaver sympathisers due to a previous relationship with a known Enclaver radical but is regarded as low-risk herself in that regard.
Victor Fromm
Staff Under Commander Surgeon (Retired) Victor Fromm is a former Legion member. Fromm retired unexpectedly, but before his retirement he was assigned to the Legion Cast hospital at Aaran’s Pride, but then he was suddenly transferred to Octant 6 Intelligence before retiring almost immediately. Guess who runs Octant 6 Intel? One Operations Staff Commissar Marshall Raziah Bock, father of deceased Sameena. Fromm’s performance reviews show a competent medico but the last kiloCycle of his reviews prior to his transfer to intel have been classified.
UCR Alan Halcyon
Operations Under Commander Master Pilot and Special Liaison (Recalled) Alan Halcyon is a former Legion Navy fighter pilot turned Capital ship deck-officer. UCR Halcyon served his career with the 6th Fleet before retiring. He was recalled to duty through Octant 6 Intelligence on the orders of MSHL Bock and assigned as a Special Liaison to your project.
So given those connections, I did some research on MSHL Bock himself and I turned up an interesting fact: For a while he was assigned as a Legion advisor to the Octant 6 Secretariat. At that time, his Vizierate counterpart was none other than Minor Vizier Frederick Salfield.
Another name that came up, Minor Vizier Sardo Ohare, former ViC at MaPaCoA, the one who you reported died on Aaran’s Pride. Well, I found out that he either visited or was due to visit (I couldn’t be certain from my sources) with Minor Vizier Salfield during his Aaran’s Pride visit and Ohare’s remains were transported here to GRRAS after his death.
Let me know if you find anything more about any of that. I’m going to see if I can find out what happened to the body when it got here.
Next
Karmen will return to the ship about Oliver’s dinner time and advise that cargo will be loaded at the start of next Green shift (Oliver’s breakfast time) and, if he’s ready, Spanial can leave dock shortly afterwards.
Does Oliver want to do anything, either in response to the message or otherwise?
In response to the message:
Thank you for the information. I’m proud to accept the position and will continue to serve the Dominion in a manner that befits it.
Very useful information regarding the crewmembers and makes some previous conversations make sense in a new light.
I’m off to Separatist Space to chase down Argyle/Lozenge-Sok. There’s some concerns about a former security officer of the Black Citadel being taken over there, I want to see what his game is.
I believe the information I disclosed last time was the information that Frederick was after, which was cultivated by Lozenge-Sok. I haven’t sent him a copy yet, am waiting for your response. I may be out for some time. It will be easy to infer that I couldn’t obtain the information until I confronted Argyle and will have it when I return.
Next:
Oliver will confirm he is ready and has no other major business to attend prior to leaving.
