Claudius Aetius"I am willing to believe into lucky coincidences during terms of certain politicians, but in case of Mahon these happen WAY too often."
What I see is a constant and sometimes intense pressure on Empire's rulers in many ways. The scenario show Empire's center of power surrounded by -- if I could say it -- traitorous dissidents, dangerous revolutionaries and dubious loyalists.
Is this really a case of an embattled Empire Dynasty facing serious risks of overthrowing or Arissa Lavigny-Duval is the ultimate devious ruler and she is creating grounds to a even more repressive government?
We still need to consider that all Great Powers' leaders are -- essentially -- benefiting in some way of this situation.
Many possibilities, many underlying threads. The great question after all seems to be: is there a hidden Puppeteer pulling those threads? If it is the case, who?
Usually I'd say there wasn't anyone behind it and X Organisation (in this case the NMLA) is completely genuine, and that all the politicians and CEOs who have benefitted are just very good at taking advantage of the situation - they seem suspicious but they're not responsible, and at most the NMLA had received funding from Federal and/or Alliance Intelligence prior to blowing up Federal and Alliance stations, when having an insurgency fight the Empire was beneficial. Things similar to that have happened in real life; see the CIA's Operation Cyclone or Timber Sycamore.
Elite's universe, however, isn't a usual place so I can say with confidence that there's at least one puppeteer behind this. I can't say with confidence who, previously I would blame Hudson, but now he just seems too easy a target. With this recent 'leak' accusing Hadrian Duval the likelihood of it being someone within the Empire has increased in my mind - painting Hadrian as a target doesn't benefit outsiders to the Empire nearly as much as it would benefit an insider to Imperial politics, but then again that could just be a red herring.

Isaiah EvansonThere's some beacons in the Teorge system that go over this...
I don't take that at 100% face value because of what's in the last beacon:
"How do I know all this? That’s simple. My memory has been shot to pieces, edited by them and by me over the years, But I finally put it back together, most of it anyway."
It's not what I'd consider a reliable source.

I was wondering about "Salvation". Could it be that such character (or characters) have some involvement with Nine Starports tragedy or NMLA?
I don't think it's just coincidence that NMLA and Hesperus/Adamastor narratives are running very close to each other.

Many drugs have different ways to... enter the human body, with somehow similar effects.
Can't say about the 'true lore' though.
