Title: Project Heron Weekly Status Report 048

Colonel Locksteele,

The project is coming along nicely, and the cell is nearly formed. The alliance’s suspicions of Imperial activity on Lok seem to be well founded. Though things have grown quiet this week which has left me slightly unnerved. I have decided to extend the patrol parimeters for our L.R.S. Detachment in reaction to this. So far there has not been much of note to report. However four days ago the commander of the Long Range Surveillance Detachment Sergeant Jekk Valant noted that the patrol encountered tracks made by storm trooper armor near waypoint charlie, which is near Nyms Stronghold. They tracked this and came upon a party of 4-5 consisting of one storm trooper without a helmet, a rifleman, and a few others. Using his long range scanners Sergeant Valant was able to identify the storm trooper as the infamous Sev Laurance, and even of more note the rifleman was the famed "Phlegm" of the companions. What is even stranger is that there was no combat between these two. It appeared that "Phlegm" was in a very emotionally distraught state and at one point he threw his laser rifle into the Lokian dust. At which point the infamous Sev Laurance himself actually retrieved this rifle and forced it back into "Phlegms" hand. The patrol did not want to be discovered so the remained at a distance and were not able to pick up any voice communications.

This seems like a very strange occurrence and deserves to be sent to all necessary commanders within the alliance. Is there some kind of alliance forming between the Rebel Phlegm and the Imperial Sev? Is the arrival of Sev Laurance upon Lok in any way connected to the rising imperial activities here? Have the Imperials caught wind of Project Heron? Please pass this on to the intelligence division and reply with any answers they may discover.

Also on a side note other day the patrol tracked a very strange man near the same waypoint. He seemed to be mentally unbalanced and may have a hallucinogenic psychosis of some sort. He frequently spoke to the empty sky and listened as if he was hearing some reply. He broke in multiple anger fits, then just as suddenly would fall into a near comatose apathy. Sergeant Valant believes that he may have seen this mans tracks leading directly into a destroyed Kimogilia nest at waypoint Delta. Very strange happenings here on Lok. There is no way one man could have survived that. Right?
