It's both with great pride and a great sense of duty that I send out this transmission, informing all members of High Command that a long awaited and multiple-staged research project has indeed reached its first steps, the recent number of anomalous ships and infectees roaming our core systems is truly alarming. But in the wake of the sheer overwhelming realities of this situation, there is indeed a tiny sliver of hope. With your permission, several potentially infected subjects will be analyzed to the best extent our technology can offer, hopefully in time beyond this limit as well. Greater understanding of infected subjects and means to detect these circumstances will go a long way in engineering future technologies.

This is extremely good news, isn't it? But you knew a but was coming, and you were right by assuming so. All of this is possible, as well as far more. But given our current research venues, research such as this would require increased security and a more clandestine location, something our current sites do not offer in the slightest. This is the reason why I am asking that ESRD either be partly or fully relocated to the Radford Research Station. Training as well as deployment of strike teams, discplined and drilled specifically towards anti-infestation as well as the containment and quarantine of infected subjects may also be done there. In time, the dark corners of Radford is where our efforts will burn brightest, and these words are meant truly. I leave the matter up to your experienced and seasoned consideration, I hope you see the merit and possibilities to this as well.

My one last request to the office of High Command is a provisional cease-fire with the 'infamous' Battlegroup Auxesia. Primarily due to their usefulness in furthering research into these fields as well as providing otherwise unobtainable resources and materials. The cease-fire will be initiated as a test of sorts to observe the Battlegroup's true merits and whether or not they are true to what they are said to be. I know this is a big step, but it is indeed a necessary one if we hope to further our technology within an acceptable time-frame.
