"... Hmm hm... Hm... And one... two... Hm... Order message? Yeah... C.A.R.M.E.N., upload the name list to my music chart, if you please... Hmm..."
Said the pilot, clearly drunk with the melody.

To Tatch, rest assured we are handling the problem mostly on our own. The reason this was a transmission to all pilots is simply as a warning, as these infected ships have been traveling all over Sirius.
To Captain Fokke, we have not seen any other ships with the [ATF] designation. However, if you do see another, do not pass judgment on them until proper testing has been made.

I vouch for the ATF being possiblyinfected. They have attacked our pilots many times, and often without cause. As for a "group" i have only ever seen two of them.

"♫... Gentlemen. Recently it has come to my perception that man pilots who started to pour inside Liberty system acclaiming to be under the direct supervision of your organization, claim you both to be more than antagonists, threatening and engaging Libertines are not on your list. Regarding the last message I managed to decrypt, it comes to one question...♫"

"♫... How much would you care if any of these pilots, claiming Libertonians to be counterparts of the Queen of The Night, started to... Let's say... "Disappear"... Hm?... ♫"

Greetings, command. Normally, I wouldn't trouble myself with the internal affairs of the Order, but this has caught our attention aboard the WarLok.
What's being suggested here is obscene. We've accused and confirmed infection among several capital class vessels at this point, vessels that are undoubtedly of value to the fleet.
If pilots and commanders are deemed incapable of preventing infection, then perhaps they shouldn't be cast from the fleet, in case rehabilitation does not serve its purpose successfully. We can't afford a created hostility towards a House faction, even one that deals with another war itself, and the Hunters create enough of a problem as it is.
