Diplomacy with the Junk King and the sector of Firmament above Davis Port has started up again, following a successful defense of the region. The Wicklunds are gaining public traction with the local news with their outreach. Attempts to repair the broken connection between the regions failed, but provided insight into the system that may aid a second attempt. Outside of those negotiations, the trade network continues to grow, this time with a focus on technological goods.
Non-Actions:
1: Support CBC's buyout of trading post 2 in region 39.
2: The People Want Action:
A letter from Wallace Wicklund to the Pan-Tekhum Worker's and Trader's Union:
It delights me to hear the plans for some action, and I understand the desire for input, but I am worried the Union lacks strong conviction; the proposed course at the moment has very few details. In any case, any peaceful reform has to have the support of the local merchants. Once that is acquired, you should attempt to buy out the remaining traders, so that the WTU has full control over the practice. Finally, once that control is established, you can shift the practice to something more ethical for the workers.

News and Rumors:
Wallace Wicklund has funded a documentary on the inner workings of the Component Research Facility. Reviews are largely negative, calling the film propaganda and saying it primarily serves as an advertisement to work for the Facility. In response, the film was pulled from television rotation, but unofficial copies of it remain.
