Thargoids report and Considerations on the Federal events

I have been at the Coriolis outpost in the Asterope system for about two weeks. In the last period, life in the station has been hectic, the alert is high and everyone is waiting for something big to happen. Long-range sensors observed a periodic variation in the number of Thargoid spots around the star Asterope A. The intelligence and Prof. Kepler's scientific team believe that the alternation of the peaks and the subsequent decrease of the Thargoid vessels is probably due to a mobilization from the Asterope system to target systems in the Witch Head Nebula, with the aim of strengthening invasion forces in the nebula's key systems.
In the last week of January I proceeded with the procurement: I recovered most of the Guardian materials after planning a shipment in the Synuefe sector outside the Bubble. I contacted Dr. Nostrom, an old friend, who now works in the research and development section of the AEGIS. Thanks to his help i was able to obtain all the AX components i needed in a short time. I reached Copernicus station on February 3th only and I made the TFS Repley operative. All my efforts have focused to destroy the Thargoid vessels before they could jump into hyperspace towards the Witch Head Nebula. Timing proved essential, and the highest priority has been hitting the spots as early as possible. We cannot allow them to jump into the system, we must stop them first at any cost. Fortunately, several Drake-class Carriers are facilitating refueling operations, significantly reducing engagement times.
The other day, while I was refueling and carrying out diagnostics on the armament and navigation systems, i noticed that one of the hull reinforcements had been seriously damaged, it was full of caustic that the external sensors had not detected. I immediately put a team of engineers to work and took a few free hours to spend at the spaceport. Sitting in front of a cup of Void Extract Coffe, i saw the latest news from the Bubble on the Galnet and i learned of the repercussions following the Federal investigation conducted against Core Dynamics CEO Jupiter Rochester. I admit I was deeply shocked. It is no surprise that in the Federation corruption is actually a big problem, like the shady agreements between the corporations on which it is founded, but even murdering the President in office is not permissible and cannot be accepted. Corporations need to keep in mind that although their economic and political contribution has a strong impact on the Mars Congress, they are not the ones setting the rules and never will be!. The Jupiter Division embodies all that is rotten in the Federation.
