The Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit is actively investigating Imperial Intelligence, despite the Senate ordering it to cease operations.
Inspector Mara Klatt, one of ACTâs co-leaders, told the media:
âWe are convinced that elements within Imperial Intelligence provided support to the NMLA. Our view is that a modified version of the Omega Grid software was supplied to the terrorists, allowing them to build their own dark-comms network. Thanks to Captain Saskia Landauâs inside knowledge, we are learning how to detect a unique identifier associated with the network employed by the NMLA.â
âOur actions may have political repercussions, but this taskforce is dedicated to finding and destroying the NMLA. We must follow the trail wherever it leads.â
Civil and military leaders in the Empire have reacted with outrage, including Senator Zemina Torval:
âAre we expected to risk our citizensâ lives by letting our security services be compromised? How might the Alliance or Federation respond if we attempted to hack into Interpol or the FIA?â
However, a plea for cooperation was made by Princess Aisling Duval:
âIf nefarious groups within our Empire have helped the NMLA, we must uncover the truth. I firmly believe that the Emperor herself remains in danger, and ACT might help us to learn her fate.â
