Hello chummers, sorry for the delay but things have been hectic down
here in Omega. This is my preliminary report on Delta Epsilon's entry into
Omega and a little recon info. We hooked up with Tommy Harada and the rebels
just a few hours ago and are ready to start planning the downfall of Quention
and company.

Here's how we got in...

When OddBall drove us by the pickup point, we were suprised to find that
Nightstalker wasn't the only one to make it in time to join up with Delta
Epsilon. Sycthe was there with him. Of course we questioned him thouroughly
before letting him in the van, he didn't send an acknowledgement beforehand
and we had never met him before, so after the initial tension we got along just
fine. (sorry chummer, we needed more than a credstick to make sure you were who
yopu said you were, no offense, but that's business!). Anyway, we then
proceeded to DDI's manhattan complex for our unusual ride to the island.

With the van parked discretely away, we switched to a mitsu nightsky and
got in using the security passes I was able to fake with Kat's help. We then
loaded our gear into a cargo canister along with ourselves. After a few hours
wait, we were airlifted to Omega in a crate marked as Construction Supplies and
Electronics :: Handle With Care. It was a bumpy and uncomfortable ride, but it
got us there.

The real worry we had was that if the crate was diverted to land on the
Intrepid, we would be in deep drek. Luckily our false clearance sprung no
alarms and we were taken to an airfield in the capital city of Omega Island.
When we touched down, we only had to wait a few minutes before Harada's
diversion allowed us to disembark. With most of the security force trying to
stop Tommy from blowing up the presidential mansion, we only had to take out
a handful of guards before leaving for the interior of the Island in a stolen
truck.

Our recon was sucessful, we now know that all the main cities are strongly held
by the Omega army, while most of the countryside is in the hands of the rebels.
I don't know what Tommy did, but it seems that he convinced the opposition to
return to a defensive posture rather than actively seeking out and eliminating
rebel units.

In the next few minutes, we are going to confer with Tommy and the other
"random factors" as Tirandor would say, that have come to Omega to join the
revolt. We have to find out who the traitor in the command squad is and soon.
we can't let the baddies find out that Delta Epsilon is in town or else our
scaly friend Tirandor won't rest until he has my head on his flight deck.

I'm on him as of now!!! I'll have hime before he gets a chance to report.
Cowboy and Napalm are coming with me to get him. I saw him go into one of the
mess tents a few minutes ago. We'll bring him in and terminate with extreme
prejudice if he gets in the way!!!! Too bad OddBall is busy fitting one of
the trucks with a rig, he'd love this!!!! ]<<<<<

Get him fast. End of story.

During our recon we were able to set up pirate satellite uplinks. Omega is
still in an official news blackout, but with some borrowed bandwidth, we shadow
types can still transmit, for now. We'll report again later. ]<<<<<
