TO: Grand Admiral Michal Golanski
FROM: Rear-Admiral Nathan J. Gatsby, Reserve KNF
LOCATION: Battleship Shimazu, Tohoku system
SUBJECT: Most curious encounter
Konbanwa Grand Admiral Golanski,
I hope this message reaches you in time. My communication officer had to make sure this message reaches you and you only. For my superiors may not know I reached out to you for this matter. I will make this short. My name is Nathan James Gatsby, rear-admiral in the reserve fleet of the Kusari Naval Forces. I have great respect for the works of The Order, since the most dangerous enemy of us are the non-humans. For that matter I want to thank you for your efforts to try and keep humanity secure. I will do everything in my power to assist wherever I can to keep them at bay. Of course any cooperation will be highly covert.
We recently started a small defensive campaign against the infected humans in the Tohoku system to prevent them from jumping to the great system of Hiroshima. I must say we are quite succesful in our effort to keep them away from the jumphole. As I was occupied elsewhere, captain Akio Kamuni of the Komainu-class battlecruiser managed to take out a small forward base of the infected humans. He reported back to me that he was assisted by two Auxasian vessels, an AI vessel and an Order vessel. Little did he know that it was strange for Auxasians and Order to work together. He did not thought it was wise to produce proof of the encounter. The encounter took place last Thursday.
On his word, the vessels involved would be: AI vessel callsign PRIME|Eta, Auxasians vessels callsign A/)-ACV-Predator and A/)-ACV-Andraste and Order vessel callsign RV-Kebechet under the command of a Saris.
[13.10.2016 19:19:38] A/)-ACV-Predator: <:: Ship detected. ::>
[13.10.2016 19:19:59] RV-Kebechet: Saris: Another Kusarian. They never known when to leave well enough alone.
[13.10.2016 19:19:59] A/)-ACV-Predator: <:: Investigating. ::>
[13.10.2016 19:20:12] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Tantalus: Looks like they caught wind of this outpost quickly...
[13.10.2016 19:20:33] RV-Kebechet: Saris: Good riddance, but that doesn't excuse a Komainu this close.
[13.10.2016 19:20:48] A/)-ACV-Predator: <:: Querying; What is the purpose of the Chosokame here? ::>
[13.10.2016 19:20:52] PRIME|Eta: ::{detecting} {questionable} [cargo]::
[13.10.2016 19:20:53] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Tantalus: Looks like its captain is rather silent in its focus...
[13.10.2016 19:21:30] KDS-Chosokame: Kumani: Thanks for the assist!
[13.10.2016 19:21:38] A/)-ACV-Predator: <:: Please answer the query. ::>
[13.10.2016 19:21:41] PRIME|Eta: ::<negative> - [assist] = [negativity]::
[13.10.2016 19:21:45] KDS-Chosokame: Kumani: Those Wilde are nasty things
[13.10.2016 19:21:46] RV-Kebechet: Saris: Don't thank us yet.
[13.10.2016 19:22:07] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Tantalus: Aye, we'd like you to answer the Predator's question.
[13.10.2016 19:22:45] KDS-Chosokame: Kumani: By all means, repeat the question. As you might saw we were kind of busy.
[13.10.2016 19:23:07] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Tantalus: Predator, repeat your query.
[13.10.2016 19:23:07] PRIME|Eta: ::<query> - [purpose] -> "Chosokame" [?]::
[13.10.2016 19:23:25] A/)-ACV-Predator: <:: PRIME Unit repeated it. ::>
[13.10.2016 19:24:26] PRIME|Eta: ::<demand> - {answer} [query]::
[13.10.2016 19:24:30] RV-Kebechet: Saris: Can't say I'm fond of this situation having lost that Tokugawa.
[13.10.2016 19:24:49] RV-Kebechet: Saris: Seems a little too coincidental that a Komainu would be this close.
[13.10.2016 19:24:59] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Tantalus: He has infected personell aboard as well... rather sketchy...
[13.10.2016 19:25:05] RV-Kebechet: Saris: And to nobody's surprise, they slipped right through our defenses.
[13.10.2016 19:25:15] A/)-ACV-Predator: <:: Repeating query. Purpose of Chosokame in this system. ::>
[13.10.2016 19:25:49] KDS-Chosokame: Kumani: We want to defend this system against the infected. The infected I got on board I just beamed up during the fight.
[13.10.2016 19:25:49] A/)-ACV-Predator: <:: Additional query, Why is Chosokame interdicting Nomadic forces? ::>
[13.10.2016 19:26:19] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Tantalus: You seem to know awful well where the Nomads can be found around here.
[13.10.2016 19:26:32] RV-Kebechet: Saris: It isn't uncommon for Ku-Rep ships to come this far in, just not common enough to happen regularly.
[13.10.2016 19:26:33] A/)-ACV-Predator: <:: Kusarian war vessel was detected harboring Nomadic materials. ::>
[13.10.2016 19:26:42] KDS-Chosokame: Kumani: As our kownlegde of the infected is rather limited, I want to hand them over to you. As you might have better purpose.
[13.10.2016 19:27:08] A/)-ACV-Predator: <:: Querying, knowledge of such incidence concerning war vessels? ::>
[13.10.2016 19:27:17] RV-Kebechet: Saris: We aren't equipped for detainment procedures. They're yours, Auxesia.
[13.10.2016 19:27:44] KDS-Chosokame: Kumani: It is certainly not uncommon for us to come here. But we noticed an increase of infected activity here
[13.10.2016 19:28:01] RV-Kebechet: Saris: Probably the migration from the Tau-117 Gate.
[13.10.2016 19:28:29] A/)-ACV-Predator: <:: Repeating query concerning Kusarian Battleship with Nomadic materials. ::>
[13.10.2016 19:28:33] RV-Kebechet: Saris: Ones that couldn't get home are probably passing through to this fallback point or further in to the Omicrons.
[13.10.2016 19:28:35] KDS-Chosokame: Kumani: Maybe yes, but I have not such intel. To whom do I send the infected?
[13.10.2016 19:29:04] RV-Kebechet: Saris: Do you know anything about the Tokugawa they're looking for?
[13.10.2016 19:29:17] RV-Kebechet: Saris: We engaged it a few systems back and it escaped when one of our own turned on us.
[13.10.2016 19:29:42] KDS-Chosokame: Kumani: There was a rear-admiral passing through yes, much more I cannot say.
[13.10.2016 19:30:03] RV-Kebechet: Saris: Is it because you don't know or because you won't talk about it?
[13.10.2016 19:30:03] KDS-Chosokame: Kumani: He seemed rather ... stressed
[13.10.2016 19:30:27] KDS-Chosokame: Kumani: I don't bother with the high ranking officers
[13.10.2016 19:30:42] A/)-ACV-Predator: <:: Vessel was detected as heavily damaged. ::>
[13.10.2016 19:30:43] RV-Kebechet: Saris: We took a majority of his nanobot stock down before he managed to bug out. No surprise he'd be pissed off.
[13.10.2016 19:30:52] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Tantalus: Possibly because he had nomad remains aboard his ship, and madea point in evading us.
[13.10.2016 19:31:21] RV-Kebechet: Saris: Better them than the Core, honestly. I won't condemn anyone who's out fighting these things.
[13.10.2016 19:31:54] RV-Kebechet: Saris: Could've gone a lot smoother had he handed them over to us.
[13.10.2016 19:32:41] KDS-Chosokame: Kumani: It seems logic that they were important to him then. I don't have information about that, but maybe Kusari is <
[13.10.2016 19:32:56] KDS-Chosokame: > setting up their own Nomad research
[13.10.2016 19:33:03] A/)-ACV-Predator: <:: Disturbing. ::>
[13.10.2016 19:33:11] RV-Kebechet: Saris: Look around, Captain. This system is full of the results of their attempts at research.
[13.10.2016 19:33:18] RV-Kebechet: Saris: Indoctrinated and infected pilots.
[13.10.2016 19:33:37] RV-Kebechet: Saris: There are things about that species that even we might not understand completely.
[13.10.2016 19:33:43] KDS-Chosokame: Kumani: *whispers* And I can come here and fight them ...
[13.10.2016 19:33:45] RV-Kebechet: Saris: They're dangerous. It's why we do what we do.
[13.10.2016 19:34:26] PRIME|Eta: ::[reason] {recorded} -> [warmongering_tendency]::
[13.10.2016 19:34:40] PRIME|Eta: ::<assuming> - [battle] {causes} [pleasure]::
[13.10.2016 19:34:50] KDS-Chosokame: Kumani: Can someone please take these Wild pilots. I don't feel comfortable with them on board.
[13.10.2016 19:35:21] A/)-ACV-Predator: <:: Affirmed. Querying; Why is Chosokame engaging in combat with them if they hold fear against them? ::>
[13.10.2016 19:35:32] RV-Kebechet: Saris: Sometimes fear incites violence.
[13.10.2016 19:35:37] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Tantalus: The Andraste will be able to hold the pilots, they'll be... put to proper use.
[13.10.2016 19:35:50] PRIME|Eta: ::[discrepancy] -> [attitude] {detected} - <questioning> [cooperation]::
[13.10.2016 19:35:50] RV-Kebechet: Saris: I believe the lament term is 'fight or flight'.
[13.10.2016 19:36:19] KDS-Chosokame: Kumani: Thank you
[13.10.2016 19:36:32] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Tantalus: There we go... successfully aboard.
[13.10.2016 19:36:49] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Tantalus: Venator Spitz will be happy about her new friends.
[13.10.2016 19:37:01] RV-Kebechet: Saris: We should be going before another patrol comes through here. I doubt you'd want to be seen, anyway.
[13.10.2016 19:37:32] A/)-ACV-Predator: <:: Querying; if they're here to fight them - they bring the fight to /them/ ::>
[13.10.2016 19:37:45] A/)-ACV-Predator: <:: Intention is always fight. ::>
[13.10.2016 19:37:50] KDS-Chosokame: Kumani: I will keep trying to get these Wild off our house. Safe travels!
[13.10.2016 19:38:05] KDS-Chosokame: Kumani: And again thank you for taking the pilots
[13.10.2016 19:38:18] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Tantalus: Safe skies, and watch your back captain.
[13.10.2016 19:38:23] A/)-ACV-Predator: <:: Returning home. ::>
As you can see, the captain is rather inexperienced. But I thought you should know this. Do with it as you please.
On another matter. In our defensive operations we take out infected vessels and bring in remaining survivors. As I do not trust the Kusari government or the KNF with the infected individuals, for personal reasons I will not dwell on, I want to offer them to you. For I believe you might have more use of them for interrogation or research purposes. Of course possible transport will be a highly covert operation.
This channel will remain open if you want to respond. A reply will arrive in my personal communications with an encrypted detour so it will not be traceable.
That is all, I wish you all the best admiral.
Sayōnara, Yours sincerely,
Nathan J. Gatsby

SUBJECT: Closing channel
Konbanwa Grand Admiral Golanski,
I ordered my communication officer to close this channel after this transmission. It is too risky to keep it open. I hope the transmission still reaches you in good order.
My service against the non-humans is still available if you need it.
I wish you the best admiral.
Sayōnara, Yours sincerely,
Nathan J. Gatsby
