Hail to all and well met. I've been continuing research and reconnaissance within the Alaska system as of late, and have a few interesting finds regarding the alien organisms there. Below are camera shots of the organisms' reaction after the ice crystals holding the specimens were given a brief catalyst via a laser turret (Order Reaper Turret). I will continue my research of these organisms in the hope to continue to attempt to draw any relevant conclusion between them and the Nomads we now fight in our home every day. I would ask, however, in the face of an increased threat both from the nomads that lurk inside of the Alaska system, as well as the Liberty Navy and Liberty Security Force's continually hostile nature towards our presence there, that I might request a gunboat to be made for the continued purpose of research and development, as well as further reconnoitering in the Alaska system, Iota when under escort, and perhaps further if it appears feasible. Now, I'm going to ask for something unfortunately a little harder than a Hathor, and I realize that this may be a little unreasonable. After researching the Hathor's capabilities, I've come to the conclusion that while it is a superb combat craft, it is not as well suited to the delicate work I intend to entertain. If it would be possible to being negotiations, I would prefer to commission the construction of an Ahoudori - T-833-GB Kusari Explorer. Below is a list of information regarding said vessel that I obtained from the public neutral net.
Now I understand that our relationship with some of the Kusari business groups may have become strained as we strengthened our ties with the Blood Dragons, but I am determined, if it be the will of High Command, to attempt to parley with them in a civil manner and explain the reasoning for the commissioning of the vessel to be strictly exploration and research in nature. I will only be using this in a military atmosphere as a means of self defense (hence the request for it versus the Spatial), and to defend our home from aggression if need be.
Now, back to the task at hand. As one can see, there is a discoloration effect in photos four through six of varying degrees, and then in photo seven, dispersion occurs! I am not sure why such variance exists in the samples taken. All were conducted in the same area - hence the need for continued research to avoid bias - but this likely should have avoided running into organisms of varying origins and constitutions. This leads me to a bit of puzzlement, and the sincere desire to have the 42nd work with our R&D division from now on. Furthermore, if we have any pilots interested in this, I am certain that aside from myself, Lieutenant Golanski would be more than pleased to take them under his wing and have their assistance.
Now there is no solid evidence yet that I've collected which lists a definitive linkage between the two species, but I feel, with further research, we may break some ground in this area. I will continue to work in my Spatial class craft until further directive is given from a superior.
Thank you and good flying.
Falthion out.
