To the members of Primary Fleet, The Cincinnatius Group, The Order Protectors, and High Command,
I will first preface this message by stating that it is no intention on my part to be attempting to micromanage and direct our day to day activities. The purpose of my transmission however, is to ensure that we keep the security of our homes and the systems we have sworn to protect, secure.
As of late, we have been having a large influx of recruits and trainees joining our organization. While this is all well and good, I have seen some disparities amongst those who would seek to join us. Some seem to have wandered into our space, claiming to be friends, but not having posted anything on our neural net links about themselves, their previous employers, and their intentions. Some are not fixing their transponders in due time, leading to their flying of our vessels and usage of our equipment under the name of another following - photos are included below. Others seem to have either unofficially put in for the commission of various capital vessels, or hijacked ships from Evora for their own uses. While they may be aiding us on the surface, they have not been cleared security and competence wise to be using these vessels, and I feel we should be more careful about who we allow to lay claim to our shipwrights' hard work. Furthermore, I have proof of at least one pilot, VENONS, who was unresponsive, and had seen it his right to lay claim to FIVE Nomad Energy Cannons, a clear violation of the rules of our organization.
With so many individuals moving into our organization, I would also like to make the suggestion - as long as I am not overstepping my bounds - that we come up with a call sign/naming convention for our Secondary Fleet. While I realize they prefer to operate independently, it can be difficult to ensure that we know friend from foe, and if they are truly working for us, this should not be an issue, as their allegiance is already decided - making it known through public channels should make no difference to those they oppose. Infection has risen lately, and we can never be too sure who is on our side, and who is working for our enemies. If anyone has ideas, please put them out in the open so that we can debate over them - if High Command feels this is appropriate of course.
I would simply make the humble request that we do a 'house cleaning' exercise and ensure that we have an up to date list of those in the recruitment phase, those in our Primary Fleet, The Cincinnatius Group, The Order Protectors, and lastly our Secondary 'Independent' Fleet.
I made my run through the Omegas, Taus, and back through Tohoku and Omicron 92 as well, searching for Nomad influence or infection. I'm pleased to report that the scanners aboard my Spatial did not pick up anything abnormal, and I made sure to make a fairly thorough sweep of the unpopulated areas of the sectors.
Also to add, in the interest of furthering our research and development program, I dropped off 118 Nomad specimens and 1 Minor Nomad Brain to Cambridge Research Station. Atka is currently overworked, and Cambridge has the facilities to contain, monitor, and run experimentation on these specimens. I will stay in contact with them and am hoping for a full report in two to three weeks from them.
I will work to keep myself available via private communications in the coming days, as well as on our neural net links. Camera images posted below.
