❚❚❚❚❚ HANNA TALBOT | NHD-C12-TLT-057 | FILE

Considering I can pretty much watch Talbot in her sleep, I've got more infomation on her than you really want to hear about, including what song she sang in the shower this morning. It was something about 'love shack' and sounded inappropriate for general audiences. On Selena, she spent the majority of her time shopping or hanging out with friends/roommates/acquaintences/me. She bought a good amount of weapons, clothing, a lot of alcohol, a camera, a board game, went for a spa treatment, etc. She also bought a new wardrobe for Dagger, for which he repaid her with putting live pheasants in my goddamn room. His interpretation of 'turducken', apparently. It's been a hassle keeping Ringo from eating them. Room 031 (Talbot, Baku, Brink, me) went to the Selena beach for a while as well with company (d'Artagnan, Dirk Strider, a few others), and she spent the majority of the time flirting with d'Artagnan in the water. It was precious. I nearly shed a tear. Largely, her time on Selena was spent as a vacation, recreational, with no suspicious activity observed.

Once back on Neheda, she assisted with supply transport, I didn't see her involved in any of the medical crates. Gifts purchases on Selena were passed out, and room 031 spent time playing Risk (of which Jack Benjamin won a great deal) and mixing the massive amounts of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks into inventive cocktails for her and her dashing roommate to enjoy. On day 70, when the supply crate in medical was pulled apart during the blackout, she was in room 031, and I'd checked in with her shortly after. soon, she'd made it to the medical wing to meet new recruits. I kept in regular contact, and sent our bahari, Ringo, between the two of us as well as Topher Brink. She's since been spending the majority of her time patrolling the areas of the ship as per Green assignments, and taken to watching over new recruit Lucy (M02-B25-281) as per PKN7 buddy system assigned by Aeryn Sun. Aside from that, there doesn't seem to be much more involvement with PKN7 or Shepard, though I did question her about it.

[ thread is on-going, but there will be a transcript of this inbox conversation attached to this report. ]

The following are her recent network communications.
Day 67 | Communication with Dagger.

❚❚❚❚❚ D'ARTAGNAN | NHD-C12-DRT-230 | FILE

D'artagnan may not be my roommate, but he is practically attached at the ass to me. On Selena, he spent the majority of his time being on vacation and taking in recreation. He attended room 031's time at the beach, and went shopping with new recruit Caroline. He recieved his assignment as a Green team unit lead, and Green units went to help defend against the giant, metal space ball that terrorized Selena for a while. D'Artagnan went to play hero for a while. He likes that. He flirted with Talbot a lot, they grow up so fast. Shopped more with Hanna and Elena, babysat Koroleva while Alina and Sturmhond went to go have some gross date and make out and do ridiculously sappy things, probably. Spent the night with Athos over, who may or may not have some kind of creepy crush on him if I wasn't pretty certain Athos doesn't know what things like sex and affection are. Anyway. He bought a lot of weapons, and some gifts.

He wasn't much involved in moving supply crates, and hasn't been near medical since returning to Selena. Generally, this is typical behavior, because he's a stubborn shit that doesn't like to admit when he's injured. Again, likes to be a hero. Once new recruits arrived, d'Artagnan had mostly been involved with his team, patrolling as per orders around the ship in shifts, one partner having been the new recruit Caroline. He'd volunteered to assist with Wes, Barnaby and I's effort to make traps and markers, insisting on using his Juggernaut unit to act as bait for the creature, too which I said was a dumb idea, but you know, hero. Etc, etc. He's been practically glued to me since, as if he thinks I'm going to trip over something and die. It's cute, but a little demeaning. Hero. As far as his personal feelings on various things in this mission, when asked about Shepard, he mentioned that he knows she's close to Garrus Vakarian (who seemed very upset over her arrest). D'Artagnan wasn't pleased with how Shepard had talked to Alina either, and arguments with the unit leads over the flow of information. His thoughts were summed up as follows: that she's stupid, that she picked a really bad moment to have a mini rebellion and she shouldn't have done it. As for thoughts on the creature, he hasn't theorized where it came from, aside from the box in medical, and hasn't thought long on it, more focused on trying to protect the crew at large.

The following are his recent network communications.
DAY 67 | Communication with Daggger.
DAY 71 | Communication with a drag queen.
DAY 71 | Communication with Barnaby, Carla, Wesley and me.
[ there was also an inbox conversation between him and d'artagnan on Selena that Jack isn't sharing because a) it has no impact on any of this and b) it was super personal and no. ]

❚❚❚❚❚ WASHINGTON | M02-B25-619 | FILE

This guy seems ridiculously paranoid. His file says he's military and if you didn't get that, look at the armor he's stomping around in. Master Chief wannabe but not as huge. I didn't meet him during the "drop", only seeing him now, and there's virtually nothing from him on the network. guy stays very quiet and out of the public eye. Could be suspicious, or could just be someone with serious socialization issues. I followed him cloaked for the last few days off and on. He does a lot of stopping and typing - making logs, I figured out, though I didn't get close enough to really read much. Just what I heard him muttering out loud while he reread. Maybe used to voice recordings? What I heard didn't seem too suspicious, just notes on what's going on. Still, weird.

Otherwise, he's been on patrol for Green, often paired off with Claire Farron/Lightning. I made direct contact while under the excuse of doing supply runs for the trap makers in the safe hub. Aside from what's publically available in his file regarding Project Freelancer, I covered some of it with him, under the guise of getting help with carrying supplies. He was enlisted in this group as one of the 'best of the best', so there's a decent amount of skill there, even at the tail end of that list. He'd said he was "recruited" into that team, though I'm not sure of military history prior. His team had gone corrupt, and his file lists that he was unaware, being liked to, as it was taken apart and disbanded. There's something I don't quite understand in the file: "While being implanted with the AI Epsilon, Washington lost control due to the AI's self-destruction inside of his head." I couldn't find a casual means to question something so specific, but it's a good thing to keep an eye on. His file also decribes him as paranoid, untrusting, intrinsically moral, highly reactive to being threatened, and triggered by betrayal.

There is no network history for Agent Washington at present.

❚❚❚❚❚ LYDIA SHEPARD | NHD-C12-SHD-011 | FILE

Not much to find, but I got a decent outline of what happened from Michelle Benjamin, though nothing confirming outside of hearsay. It seems, Shepard as having a tiff over Blue's unwillingness to disseminate information aside from to officers, to trickle down to subordinates as needed. She contacted Ghost, told him Blue is full of idiots, Ghost took offense, and she'd ended up with 72 hours worth of solitary confinement and being transferred to Grey. I spoke to Hanna about her as well, but she didn't have much different to say. Her companions from her world didn't seem to be happy about the annoucement, but doubt they'll attempt anything rash. Still worth keeping an eye on. They include: Garrus Vakarian, Javik, Tali'Zorah vas Neema. Recommending that we keep an eye on her after this event is resolved as well. From what she'd posted before on the network, she doesn't seem to have a lot of issue with questioning authority or dissent.

A record of her publically available conversations before being removed to confinement:
DAY 71 | Communication with Alina and Sturmhond
DAY 71 | Communication with Adrien
DAY 71 | Communciation with Sakura and Sturmhond
