I keep wondering, why are we always funneling so much manna into mechs anyway? Big clumsy things loaded with experimental tech. Why not test it on something cheaper and more reliable like...I dunno a tank? Always preffered being backed up by tanks. Tankers are weird but they understand combined arms doctrine.
Avolio Combat Solutions and its subsidiaries would like to publicly denounce the terrorist group known as CORSAIR.
This organisation formed from various former mercenaries which following a disastrous display of command incompetence claiming the lives of hundreds, has recently been found to be stockpiling and producing various weapons despite allegedly remodelling itself into CORSAIR News Network.
Furthermore covert investigations by Spark Broadcasting funded by ACS after this "News Agency" threatened us has revealed the weapons produced by CORSAIR marketed as a so-called "Requiem Communications Array" is in fact a targeted radiation weapon designed to intentionally cause unnecessary pain and suffering to combatants.
We denounce these dangerous terrorists and urge other organisations to cut off their support both economic and material to this band of criminals.
People of the Caeculus system. It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Mister Avolio, he passed away peacefully in bed after a long term battle with health complications. He will be sorely missed. As he has no surviving family, a new sucessor for the head of the ACS board will be elected soon.
Once the sucessor has been elected a public funeral for Mister Avolio shall be held.

Alright I need some of you more paracausal scientist-y types to set something straight for me. What in the blue blazes is an N.H.P? Avolio Combat Solutions strictly prohibits the "usage, deployment and research of Deimos entities, and other N.H.Ps." I know they're not AI programs since we use plenty of those, but that's about it. Also I did clear this with the higher ups and "research" just refers to researching tech related to them.
Tallow Out.
Tragedy on the Edge of the System today as Border Security forces boarded a seemingly derelict ship floating on the edge of the system, the ship while inactive was cruising on inertia into the system.
The ship (bearing the name "Wickerman" on the side was detected on Border Secutity Forces scopes at 0201 hours, an armed security team entered in the hour after the ship failed to respond to any hailing in order to ensure that the ship was not potentially being used as an improvised missile.
The Team searched through the ship after restoring power to it, the ships logs were all completly blank and had reportedly shown sign of being wiped lacking even basic instruction manuals for the ship. SSGT Giovanni would find the recreational quarters and what remained of the crew inside.
Readers may find the following details distressing. Reader discretion in advised
The remains of the "Wickerman's" crew were found piled together with each body horribly burned down to the bone, with the hands and feet of each body being largely untouched, in addition, the room has practically no scorchmarks or soot, SSGT Giovanni had this to say "It was as if the entire crew and just suddenly burned up in an instant, and then got put out."
Aside from the bodies of the crew, the ships reactor was found deactivated but undamaged and the security data on the ships black box contained nothing but 2.5 Terrabytes of photographs of various burning or charred trees.
A memorial service for the crew of the "Wickerman" will be held on the 28th.
