Subject: Preliminary Tohoku recon and encounter with infected vessels

Today while conducting preliminary recon in the Tohoku system in preperation for the beginning of Order operations in the area in cooperation with the Blood Dragons I encountered significant resistance from infected pilots. The full account of events is as follows.

At first I set out from Chugoku with my guide Teraku Oshiro with the intention of scouting the system and assessing the defences of the Arch. Oshiro revealed that Kusari Naval vessels had been spotted around the arch in recent weeks which means that the vessels were probably infected. Once we reached the Omicron 92 jump hole we encounted another ship, Koji Arakaki who claimed to be a Blood Dragon. The Nomad technology mounted on the vessel and the ping on our database of infected ships said otherwise however. Despite this, my guide was convinced the pilot was a fellow Blood Dragon and did not take kindly to my accusations. It seems the Dragons scanners are not configured to detect Nomad signatures in the way that Order scanners are and my guide was unable to see the evidence staring him straight in the face.
In the interests of maintaining good relations with the Dragons, I was forced to leave the infected vessel to its business and continue with my recon while my guide headed for Ryuku base to refuel. Heading towards the arch, I began my assessment of its defences.

As I approached, I came under fire from auto defences and the infected pilot Mishi Miyazawa launched from the arch. The vessel I had encountered earlier activated the Nomad mindshare and the vessels became instantly agressive. Thankfully, my guide was not yet out of sensor range and my earlier accusations were proved correct to him. As I retreated towards Ryuku base a further infected pilot Ameline Ryoku joined the chase. My Blood Dragon guide sacrificed his vessel to destroy one of the attackers and allow me to reach Ryuku base but unfortunately my vessel was disabled as I attempted to dock, leaving only the Dragon Moonlight Sentinel in the fight.
After my pod had been recovered by Ryuku personel, I sent word to the Order for reinforcements. Unfortunately two of the fighters sent as reinforcements were destroyed as well before Moonlight Sentinel was able to destroy the last infected vessel.

In light of this incident I would like to request that Order scanner technology be made available to the Blood Dragons so that they can detect when their pilots are mounting suspicious equipment and bloodbaths like this one can be avoided in future.

I am also awaiting permission to appear before the Taishogun to make this report to the Blood Dragons. If my request for scanner technology is approved I can at least give the Dragons some good news along with the bad.

Sergeant Leigh out.
