Good day Sentinel McKinley,
I hope the patrol you were on went by without issues.
As per last discussion we had in Manchester, the information you provided me I must say is something really, let's call it "big".
The accusations you brought against the Auxesia,they are very massive so the CIS is starting an investigation on them before jumping the gun too soon.
I'd very kindly like to ask the reports you've said you have so we can review them, and then decide how to proceed.
However as you're the source of those accusations, we won't be specifying to anyone how we got them, to keep full anonymity as also keeping our discussion classified for security reasons until due time.
We want nobody to know about this, especially after the treaty with them was signed.
I'll be awaiting your response and we hope for the best.
You'll find our data attached to the message. As for the action report, you'd do best asking the Armed Forces directly if you're in a hurry. Otherwise I can poke a few people, but that'd take time.
Oh, and you don't really need to hide with the source. It's pretty obvious from the data itself.

This report is about a battle that took place yesterday in the New London System.
The Sovereign, with me at the helm, was protecting the orbit of our capital planet when I received the TLAGs net report of Nomad ships, again, in Manchester. I assembled a fleet consisting of the Sovereign, a Dunkirk the Hubble, an Overlord the Alaska, a Crecy the Coventry, a Thanatos the Eris, three of our snubs, one Council snub, three mercenary snubs and two Auxesian snubs.
The alien fleet eventually came to us and it was comprised of one Ishtar, one Siris, one gunboat of the infected forces and some snubs. I did not count those, but I can say that they were outnumbered. There was also a GRN Cougar nearby, which sided with the Nomads, a Gaian Claymore which sided with us and a Corsair Murmillo which originally stood by side.
I attempted to communicate with the Nomad fleet and turn them on the Corsair and the Gaul, but that bore no result. Then I ordered the fighters, all except the BAF ones, to clean up their snubcraft. As the Murmillo was still staying by side, I moved the Sovereign towards the enemy and took the Coventry with us to assist. The Eris I left nearby to monitor the Murmillo and open fire at them should they side with the Nomads. The Hubble and the Alaska I left in the New London orbit to protect the planet should any Nomad ship break through our first layer of defense. Then I also sent our own snubcraft at the enemy. The Corsair decided to open fire at the Nomads, so I ordered our capital ships out, hoping that the Nomads and the Corsair would neutralize each other. Our light wing destroyed the infected gunboat and the Nomad cruiser, and the Murmillo managed to disable the Ishtar without receiving damage.
While that was happening, and while the Gaian gunboat was helping us clean up the Nomad snubcraft, an incident occurred. The Auxesian ships, now probably more of them than there were at the start, stopped pursuing the Nomads and diverted fire to the Gaian gunboat. The captain informed me of that, so I gave a system wide order (since they were now far from the Sovereign) to all Auxesian ships to stop firing at any Gaian ships. The Auxesians directly refused my order and stated that the Gaians shot first. I repeated my order to both and demanded that the feud is resolved later, diplomatically, but my words fell on deaf ears. After that I received the standard escape pod SOS message after ship destruction, this one coming from what used to be the Gaian gunboat.
There was no time to resolve the incident on the spot, as we were in pursuit of the Murmillo. They stopped near Southampton and made a stand against the Sovereign there. It was a valiant one, but unsuccessful. The Sovereign received medium damage. Then the fleet returned to Planet New London.

Sentinel McKinley,
I apologize for the delay of the reply but the Republic was reviewing the reports and yet we've decided to start a full scale investigation on the Auxesian people as what we've seen was something I wouldn't want to see. However I'm more dissapointed with the Bretonian Kingdom that they didn't inform us of all of this happening.
Therefore the Guard is more than welcome to join the CFV-Aquatica in this investigation, as you already provided us proofs of the accusation brought in.
However we'd like to keep our investigation going secretly so before pointing the gun to have everything we need.
I'm personally in debt with the Guard.
Sentinel McKinley,
Is good hearing from you.
At the moment the situation seems stable, as the Quorum doesn't let me take any action againt them, I had to simply reduce to watch from far.
The Quorum believes that we must wait for them to make a mistake before we break the Accords. Yet I can assure you that we're counting their steps in our systems.
