'''Alexei Keel''' is a freelance journalist who contributes to [[Vox Galactica]]. In March 3305, he reported on the [[Federal Intelligence Agency]]'s recovery of a survivor from [[The Prophet]], an abandoned [[Far God cult]] outpost in the Etain system. In July and August of 3307, he covered the independent investigation into [[Aegis]] that the superpowers ordered in response to the disappearance of the [[Alexandria]]. In September 3307, he delivered a special report on groups of independent pilots who mistrusted the mysterious [[Salvation]] and were trying to sabotage his anti-[[Thargoid]] projects.

*The anonymous [[Salvation]] commands much support in the galactic community, but a resistance movement has emerged to sabotage his efforts. [[Vox Galactica]] featured a special report from freelance journalist Alexei Keel: "In his self-proclaimed war against the [[Thargoid]]s, Salvation recently scored a major victory by eliminating their forces from the Cornsar system. But the ongoing mystery around the identity of this 'man of science', as well as his controversial methods, have led to a backlash. To deliver vital components for his mysterious [[Anti-xeno superweapon|anti-xeno weapon]], Salvation once again recruited independent pilots, directly messaging those who had performed tasks for him before. However, this time a counter-initiative was formed by those who did not trust his motivations. It was also supported by believers in non-aggression against the Thargoids, and others who feared that the weapon might endanger Cornsar's population. Their actions involved acquiring the components, which were disguised as [[Basic Medicines|basic medicines]], but destroying rather than delivering them. Whether or not this partial blockade impacted the weapon's effectiveness remains unknown, but it acted as a substantial opposition to Salvation's scheme. [[Aegis]] is investigating the Cornsar incident, but with faith in that organisation at an all-time low, individual [[Commander]]s are now taking matters into their own hands. Time will tell if Salvation's ambition to replace Aegis is a noble goal, or if we are replacing the devil we know with a darker demon."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6151b37e8395d050bb7eae36 GalNet: Salvation: Friend or Foe?]</ref>

*The [[Aegis]] board of inquiry's initial findings have been leaked to journalists, with several problems within the anti-xeno organisation detailed in the files. [[Vox Galactica]] journalist Alexei Keel reported on its contents: "The independent inquiry into Aegis is in its early stages, making this disclosure of delicate information all the more embarrassing. Although only a summary, it highlights shortcomings that were immediately apparent to the investigators. The leaked files outline a pattern of poor internal organisation and negligence. One claim is that Aegis accepted its heavy reliance on independent pilots entering combat situations against the [[Thargoid]]s. A lack of technological breakthroughs since the first generation of AX weaponry is also criticised. [[Alba Tesreau|Professor Tesreau]], who has since resigned, is singled out for prioritising communication with the Thargoids rather than developing quickly deployed defences. Interview transcripts show that some Aegis personnel consider the inquiry itself to be part of a larger agenda. A recurring claim is that the superpowers directly contributed to Aegis's inefficiency by reducing funding, and are now scapegoating Aegis management for a lack of progress. Dr [[Paul Baumann]], chair of the board of inquiry, said that only the final report should be considered official. It is unclear when the 'Baumann Report', as some newsfeeds refer to it, might be ready for publication."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/611ba6d5760fa3799e69814d GalNet: Leaked Report Exposes Aegis Failures]</ref>

*The superpowers have partly suspended [[Aegis]] and authorised an inquiry into the [[Alexandria]] [[megaship]], which disappeared in [[hyperspace]]. Freelance journalist Alexei Keel reported on this development for [[Vox Galactica]]: "Public opinion regarding Aegis has always been chequered, but its founding governments insisted that it played a vital defensive role against the [[Thargoid]]s. The tragic loss of the Alexandria, carrying thousands of crewmembers and valuable [[Guardian]] artefacts, has now raised questions about the organisation's competence. The [[Alliance]], [[Empire]] and [[Federation]] have jointly ordered an independent inquiry to determine the facts about the Alexandria. Many Aegis operations were shut down, and detailed investigations have begun. Professor [[Alba Tesreau]] and other senior members have already been forced to resign. Part of the reason for such scrutiny is the emergence of the anonymous '[[Salvation]]', who many view as running an alternative anti-xeno effort. Some security agencies suspect him to be the leader of an Aegis splinter group, composed of rogue agents and stolen resources."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61001290b7627a262920271c GalNet: Aegis Investigated After Megaship Loss]</ref>

*The [[Federal Intelligence Agency]] has discovered an intact cryogenic pod underneath an outpost once used by [[Far God cult|Far God worshippers]]. Freelance reporter Alexei Keel broke the news on [[Vox Galactica]]: "The FIA survey team had been scanning the abandoned base on Etain 4 c with customised military sensors. It's thought this operation is part of a search for a missing undercover agent who infiltrated the Far God cult. A faint power source was detected in a collapsed underground chamber, which led agents to a solitary cryogenic pod hidden beneath tons of debris. Once excavated, it was conveyed to a medical facility where efforts to safely revive its occupant are now underway. There was no way of identifying who is inside the pod. But it seems likely that they are one of the adherents who recorded audio logs at the site, prior to entering suspended animation to await the Far God."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5c93b44ed081f4663d2d1025 GalNet: Survivor Found at Far God Outpost]</ref>
