Sender ID: Special Operative Nicolo Masa

Greetings, agents.
This is Ensign Tyrael Johnson speaking.

It seems Special Operative Masa was faster than me and already reported the incident regarding the AI cruiser. I can only confirm his data as being accurate and... regarding another matter: I would like to take this latest opportunity, although i am yet "young" in this Task Force, to ask if Forlorn d'Autoine could join our ranks. I've known him for a long time... he's experienced as i am and i think he could be a good asset to us.

Also, one more thing. It seems there has been a suspicious increased Corsair activity these last days around Omicron Mu. Just yesterday morning i've encountered another one and along with Alexander Salmin we've directed him out of the system. * *
Should this interest us?

Tyrael, out.

Colonel Davids hier.

I want to remind all agents of taskforce 141 zhat attention has to be payed when encountering any AI vessel.
Zhey are not to be underestimated. Zhat zhe same AI cruiser was able to get into Omicron Minor and hide
in our former home is quite disturbing. We need more information about zheir true intentions.
Regarding obtaining ein Respheph cruiser, 141 Command is discussing zhis matter,
but due to our limited ressources at zhe moment, it might become difficult.

Ensign Johnson, if you encounter more Corsairs in Omicrons Mu or in Zeta near zhe jumphole to Mu, ask
for zheir intentions within our controlled space, and POLITELY direct zhem to zheir space again. Zhe usage
of weapons is only permitted when your own life is at risk! We don't need any tensions between zhe Order
and zhe Corsair Empire.

Besides... I should perhaps remind you zhat Masa, Corzelli and Rivas are of Corsair origin, so don't mess it up with zhem!

Today, me along with many other agents have met a trading vessel near the Delta Jump hole in Omicron Zeta. It was using Freelancer credentials, BH IFF transmitter and it was tagged as 77th. The vessel's name was T-Hunter. Agent Forlorn and I were chosen to continue the discussion and interrogation of the vessel's pilot.

At first, it seemed to be a bit difficult as it didn't know what precisely what to say. But, in short time, we made him talk by friendly methods. He stated that his name was Xra'i and that he is from an alien species with humanoid form and that all 77th members are aswell as this, not all with the same origins, but all of them are not Sirians.
We also found out that the 77th is a group with many divisions and they are some sort of a military group to defend "their kind".
We tried to get information about the 77th's last attack in Mu, but it seems he didn't have information about this.
Though... We did enter an interesting "discussion", if may say. It seems that we stumbled into talking about an agent of theirs which they call "the unknown" (Which always communicates to us and them as ??? and we know him to be the pilot of a ship named Ice.). Xra'i first referred to this agent as "crystalline thingy", but then as "unknown". He said that it's a being different from the rest, always using a cloak to hide it's true form, but it's rumored that it is some form of energy (of which i might know more, i will elaborate at the end). More importantly, it seems that this "unknown" is conducting it's own experiments and research... most possibly on nomads, but none of the 77th know exactly what about is this research of his. Xra'i says that this agent tried once to communicate with a nomad Labraid (i suspect it was a nomad very far from it's Mind node, otherwise it would have attacked... and didn't stay to "chat".), but other Bounty Hunters came in and attacked the nomad.

Also, another interesting thing he said is (apparently he told us many things by mistake as we were "chatting" about this "unknown".) that the 77th do not use Bounty hunter technology, but it's very similar and that is what drove us into error. Also we were told they all have personal body shieldings.

Back to the "unknown" topic... i am thinking that this being is actually an energy life form which uses that cloak of his to keep the energy from dissipating. Although Xra'i said he does have a physical form, i believe that's not actually possible, otherwise one of the might have seen him in the end. I can vouch for the fact that it is possible for energy life forms to exist, as i was once such a life form... i know it might sound hard to explain, but you can find more information on my personal journal.
In any case, i speculate, with emphasis on "speculate", that if we may create diplomatic relations with this unknown character we might come into more information about the nomads... or at least we could give our scientists, possibly, a very skilled ally.

I know of our engagements with the 77th and i agree that they are still to be untrusted. But, today, i find myself in the position of thinking that diplomacy can still be achieved. If maybe, i repeat maybe, me or another person with diplomatic skills could keep an open discussion between our factions we might end up in gaining some allies and i do not see the harm in that. I know it sounds bold, but should we not give it a try?

Unfortunately i was unable to bring any images from the scene or to record any of the conversation due to some damages to my ship from a prior duel. Though, i believe Forlorn was able to record the conversation so he might give me or agent Masa the recording so the command may see it.

Tyrael, out.

Good day fellow agents, and friends, this is ensign Kado speaking.

I am sorry I didn't write a report earlier, there were some technical errors in my broadcast unit.

Yesterday, when my shift began, I stumbled upon a Zoner Juggernaut just outside Meskhenet station. He seemed to be curious about Omicron Mu, and asked me for coordinates, which I refused to give. The vessel's name is Lost_Pioneer if I remember correctly. He didn't make any incidents because of my denial, and continued his journey.

Oh, just now I seem to find a Corsarian gunboat in Zeta! He is interested in joining the Order, to serve it's cause... It seems that we are slowly growing stronger, I'm very pleased to see that!

I am sorry that my lousy technician didn't install the guncam yet, so I don't have any photographic evidence of it.

Never the less, I'm continuing my shift now. See you in space!

Colonel Davids hier.

I am sure that our taskforce had to witness some strange encounters in Omicrons Minor and Zeta yesterday.
As Nicolo Masa and the other agents will surely set up reports about all these incidents, I am will concentrate
about one, that has attracted mein attention, due to the fact that zhis report has been retrieved
from the wreckage of one of our Interceptor-fighters.

Near zhe jumphole to Mu, Interceptor-5 faced ein Rheinland gunboat zhat seemed to be under control of zhe
Büro der Marineintelligenz. As zhe BDM received permission to roam the Omicrons only up to Delta, it was
rather strange zhat they somehow violated zhis agreement with Order High Command by traveling to Zeta
and almost entering Omicron Mu. Our agent intercepted zhe gunboat and hailed it to stop.
* * *

During zhe ongoing conversation between Interceptor-5 and zhe BDM gunboat, it was revealed zhat zhe
BDM was investigating about zhe current status of zhe Order.
Interceptor-5 did not reveal too much information about our current status, and also gave zhe Rheinlander
zhe hint, zhat any information about us should not go public. Due to the fact that Interceptor-5 was
destroyed in a fight against ein nomad later on, we could only retrieve parts of the comm logs for it:
* * * * * *

As zhe agent #5 is in medical treatment we cannot start any interrogation about zhis situation right now.

Nontheless I am getting zhe impression zhat more and more people around Sirius start to believe zhat zhe rumor about
our demise might be a bit exaggerated.

Keep a clear mind and do not reveal too much information about our current status!
