I was asked to respond to this comm, but it totally slipped my aging mind. Anyway to answer your inquiry, we have publicly declared our neutrality in this conflict yet passions are running high after the false accusations from Corin Frei. I believe Deceiver Willing was simply trying to defend the honor and integrity of our Professor and in her fervor to achieve that she committed a mistake.
We are indeed disappointed by her lack of professionalism and as a result, my superiors have already stripped her from Retaliator command and re-assigned her to another sector, away from Bering. I hope this clarifies the situation.
Regarding the Aoi infected group, I would like to thank you for the evidence. It appears they have stepped up their operations in Liberty and I would like to ask you to notify everyone in the Guard to be extra vigilant whenever an |Aoi tagged ship appears on their scanners. Just one misstep and one of our members is unwillingly infected, it can create disastrous effects for all of us.
