It's been some time since we've heard from you on the lines. I do hope you're feeling well.
Following our discussion earlier, I've attempted to make contact with the Order. I've linked the transmission, here, for your reference. It would be much appreciated if you could see to informing the ONI before they trace the signal and come knocking. In a dark room with a naval interrogator is not at the top of my list of ways I would like to spend the New Year.
The response to the request has been mixed so far. There have, of course, been the expected junk replies, but I'm curious as to how many groups express an interest in providing aid. If nothing else, it will help give me some sense of context as to the environment the Order operates in. I intend to leave it open for a few more days before responding to those few individuals that may be legitimate operatives. Curious, that they respond so readily. Nonetheless, I shall keep an eye on it.

Your update has been received. Carry on with your efforts in a manner you see fit. Our information on the Omicrons is sketchy at best, but I'd suggest avoiding the 101st. They are a crafty lot and beyond your capability to handle safely.
I've forwarded this Transmission to Directeur Montfort for her perusal, so you should be safe from any backstabbing nonsense. I expect you shall have a result for me shortly, however.
Progress with the Order has been slow, but it appears we may have made a breakthrough. I have managed to make contact with an Order Agent, operating under the callsign Ryuho. Though the information I have been able to retrieve so far has been limited, dropping your name appeared to rattle him sufficiently to secure a meeting aboard Freeport 10, which I intend to attend. Considering the nature of such meetings, it may be some time before am able to make my next report without drawing suspicion, particularly if the Order live up to their famously paranoid reputation.
For the purposes of this jaunt, I will continue to operate under my real identity. The Order are notoriously meticulous in their background searches, and I doubt the ability of any assumed cover to hold up for a significant period of time. That considered, I see no reason to complicate a system that currently appears to be working. In the meantime, I have attached the results of my investigation to date.
Contact has been made with the individual known as Ryuho. While the meeting was not entirely unsuccessful, I was unable to glean any meaningful information with regard to the physiology or overall nature of the aliens; however, if the agent's attitude is indicative of the wider organisation, the Order seems exceptionally willing to sacrifice operatives. Considering the lack of a credible outcome on that front, I elected not to force the subject and risk detection.
I was able to record the conversation, and have attached it to this transmission for ONI analysis. Perhaps they will chance upon something I have overlooked.
I have also managed to secure a second meeting with another operative in two day's time. While it appears the Order is, perhaps, less then willing to divulge information, this second individual may be more open to discussion. With your permission, I intend to make contact again at Java Station.

Impressive work. The Order is likely to be a tough nut to get talking, but it seems the operative was receptive to your misinformation. I don't believe the Order will provide us with all the information we need however...regardless of how successful you are.
Meet with the Operative, then make some time. We'll be going to meet a friend of mine who may be able to shed a different kind of light on the information. I suggest you be prepared, however....he's fairly odd.
I agree. The Order seems unlikely to share any useful information within a reasonable time scale, and I doubt a multi-year infiltration would be worthwhile in this case. Regardless, I will attend the meeting, if only to provide them with an explanation for my subsequent absence. Perhaps Naval Intelligence will begin to ask questions. I will come up with something. Information or no, the contacts may yet be useful.
I will be certain to inform you when it is done. Your contact sounds intriguing.
