Sorry this is late; had to do some checking and get an okay.
The *-a attachments are OGJ public deployments for the indicated time period. The *-b ones are the actual orders given, with differences from the -a set highlighted. *-c is our estimate of enemy numbers at that time, color-coded black-green-yellow-red in decreasing order of confidence; the last is statistical projections based on observed actions and spending. 'Responses' tracks the number of incidents, level of opposition, and level of Patrol response involved by mass, number of hulls, and estimated combat power through time from the start of OGJ up till the present. Nagato-san's notes on the SOS-dan meetings preceding your indicated missions are labeled as such.
Points I'd call important: The number and confidence of observed Reaver units drastically increases after the deployment of the sensor packages in August, and has continued to do so at a slower rate ever since. Continuing operations with minimal -apparent- change was judged strategically critical. Ptichka drew the missions she did because she was the fastest 'battlewagon' in service at the time, and was accordingly estimated to have the greatest chance of survival.
On a slightly different note, the files labeled 'wierd trend' are something that's been bouncing back and forth in the cubes at the Farm for a few months now - the readme has the full details on methodology and statistical analysis and such, but the gist of it is that the the decisions taken by individuals and organisations have been growing, for lack of a better phrase, more 'four color' on a systemwide basis ever since the first appearance of handwavium on the world scene.
Haruhi lives in a four-color universe looking out, but I'd invite anyone who thinks that girl isn't a -lot- sharper-eyed than she lets on to play D&D with her some time. It's a revelation. More, there've been a few times - four, at decreasing intervals - where her version turned out to be the right one rather than what'd be logical or greedy like usual.
The last one was the hit on the Wizards, which, you'll recall, -none- of the rest of us saw coming in time to do anything about. She wanted to put Moondance and Squadron 6 on guard there for that week - I talked her out of it.
I was wrong, and she was right.
Mea culpa... but don't say she doesn't listen, and don't say she can't judge.
Haruhi's, AAA
