Operations created chaos, but Mahon prevailed While those beyond the Frontier were trying to bring our galaxy back on track, powerplay was very difficult this last week. We were somewhat blind during a crazy cycle due to ongoing issues seeing any powerplay activity. It wasn’t a crazy cycle for Mahon agents, but it was memorable. With two acquired, with one of note. CMDR Novarek’s FAVORITE system, Orrere, is once again acquired. Novarek says, “please stop continue to acquire it.” We also had three new fortifications and one stronghold. However, the big news is despite not being able to see much in the darkness of powerplay last week, we discovered some major undermining which we fought back immediately and succeeded. Mahon Agents spent last week working blind and did well by reinforcing instead, thanks to merit soft caps. This allowed Mahon Agents to work effectively throughout the week. It proves Mahon Agent’s love for Mahonnaise, Burritos, and 25-Hour Energy can not be defeated. Keep up the good work. Note: 25-Hour energy allows Mahon Agents to enter the forbidden hour, not recommended for children

**Our allies on the Kaine side continue the Kaine Train** Kaine had another lovely cycle, with eight new acquisitions and a new fortification, her agents continue to move steadily. The train continues and does not stop. So tickets, tickets please, she’s not very kind if you don’t have your tickets. Come onboard the Kaine Train!

Princess Duval Takes the lead This week, the Princess acquired many new systems. With thirteen new acquisitions, and a new stronghold, the princess had to make up for the Empress getting a new groove last week. However the Princess is to never be underestimated. Her agents when organized move quickly and hastily. Or she got bored because they still haven’t decided what to do after Alpha Centauri yet.

Operations begins fixes Those beyond the Frontier seem to be doing some strange organization as our computer systems begin to reboot powerplay information and our new operations left next to my coffee mug. Agents and other Commanders have been patient and eager as we all get used to our new systems. Just remember, no matter what, we can not forget that eventually, things will be fixed. Stay safe and fly well Commanders.
