Generalmajor,
While doing some surveying in the Omega-2 system, we've stumbled into a number of Baxter objects that hold remarkable quantities of new data thanks to their variable energy outputs unlike the previous objects we've observed. While this simple fact is just a job for us research folk, we did encounter a number interesting groups and individuals while doing our work in the area.
From a number of intelligence operatives, to Order agents, to - well, suspicious individuals. One particularly took our attention. A single Rheinland Wraith, kitted with a broken transponder and a number of codename weapons, they took it upon themselves to issue threats and other annoying quips. While this individual may be of little consequence, I believe it may be within the Army's best interests to get rid of these sorts of shady individuals - especially scum using Rheinland's tech. While we operate under our diplomacy in Rheinland, it still inhibits us greatly to be under such an oppressive law infrastructure, and there's no need to support it further by filling the pockets of the Government by buying their equipment. Logs attached.
[25.03.2019 07:09:41] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: "So tell me fella, what were you doing back there in two?"
[25.03.2019 07:10:04] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: Scanning anomalies. Some rocks.
[25.03.2019 07:10:12] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: Just information gathering, really.
[25.03.2019 07:11:21] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: "Protoplanets are fascinating too, Ich studied them back when Ich was still ein hell of a researcher."
[25.03.2019 07:14:02] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Think it's a problem if Ich tag along?
[25.03.2019 07:14:30] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: I'd rather not have to babysit another person.
[25.03.2019 07:14:50] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Nein nein, Ich am on mein own.
[25.03.2019 07:15:15] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: Yet you get lost in a system with four exits.
[25.03.2019 07:15:21] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: Either you're a fool, or a liar.
[25.03.2019 07:15:24] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: I'll admit, it was a trap.
[25.03.2019 07:15:33] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: And either I don't want near me.
[25.03.2019 07:15:40] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: But Ich would love to do research like Ich did back in mein days.
[25.03.2019 07:16:04] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: If you want to do that - bring the equipment.
[25.03.2019 07:16:21] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Right now Ich don't have a ship like a Corvo.
[25.03.2019 07:16:38] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: Hell - even some extra batteries would be more useful.
[25.03.2019 07:16:47] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: For what more exactly?
[25.03.2019 07:17:14] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: The giant array on the front of this vessel of course.
[25.03.2019 07:18:07] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Ich would gladly get you some, but mein transponder is old and faulty, and Ich cannot replace it too.
[25.03.2019 07:18:25] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: And due to that, Ich cannot dock on most battleships, stations and whatnot.
[25.03.2019 07:19:52] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Do you think Ich pose a threat?
[25.03.2019 07:20:02] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: You don't seem too comfortable around me.
[25.03.2019 07:20:09] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: You're a shady individual, but I care little.
[25.03.2019 07:20:37] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Ich always was.
[25.03.2019 07:22:10] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: I have plenty of work to do - as long as you don't slow it down, I don't care what you do. And yes, talking will slow it.
[25.03.2019 07:22:43] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Ich did not ask that.
[25.03.2019 07:22:52] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: But whatever you say, 'doc'.
[25.03.2019 07:24:03] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Oh just ein thing, do you know where Ich could find a abandoned drydock?
[25.03.2019 07:24:09] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Or shipyard?
[25.03.2019 07:24:21] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: Abandoned? No.
[25.03.2019 07:24:26] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Damn...
[25.03.2019 07:24:38] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: At least there are none in my registry.
[25.03.2019 07:24:59] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Fair enough.
[25.03.2019 07:25:32] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Mein Kreuzer could use some maintenance after recent events...
[25.03.2019 07:26:30] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Danke anyways.
[25.03.2019 07:26:57] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Doc, look over here.
[25.03.2019 07:27:03] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Found ein for you.
[25.03.2019 07:27:32] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: We definitely detected it prior, but regardless. This is why we're here.
[25.03.2019 07:28:08] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Haven't seen one like this in years.
[25.03.2019 07:29:05] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Doc
[25.03.2019 07:29:10] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Ein more.
[25.03.2019 07:29:19] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: It is actually the same anomaly.
[25.03.2019 07:29:35] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: You mean die same type.
[25.03.2019 07:29:46] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: No - the same individual.
[25.03.2019 07:30:48] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Is it possible for me to get a copy of some data?
[25.03.2019 07:31:04] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: When it expells some energy, it starts to fail to naturally manifest, and as it obtains additional energy, it reappears.
[25.03.2019 07:31:20] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: It has the same source gravitation signature, so we call it the same individual.
[25.03.2019 07:31:45] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Interesting.
[25.03.2019 07:34:31] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Look ahead
[25.03.2019 07:34:36] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Same individual.
[25.03.2019 07:35:36] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Hey doc.
[25.03.2019 07:35:44] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: Yes?
[25.03.2019 07:35:54] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Is it possible that you give me a copy of some of your data?
[25.03.2019 07:36:19] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: We have already offered more data about these anomalies than we normally share.
[25.03.2019 07:36:48] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: The specific data we collect is to be put through analysis so that accurate conclusions can be made.
[25.03.2019 07:37:01] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: So it would not be appropriate to do so.
[25.03.2019 07:37:13] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: I don't want it to be precisely accurate.
[25.03.2019 07:37:18] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: I need the raw data.
[25.03.2019 07:37:28] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: At least a copy of it.
[25.03.2019 07:37:34] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: Company policy does not permit me to do so.
[25.03.2019 07:37:53] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: It's always about policy. *a distorted laugh can be heard*
[25.03.2019 07:38:35] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: I owe my life to it. My servitude and dedication is absolute. Policy is a minor factor behind loyalty.
[25.03.2019 07:39:00] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Ich see.
[25.03.2019 07:39:23] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: "Dedicated as much as we were to der Kanzler."
[25.03.2019 07:39:36] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: Like family.
[25.03.2019 07:39:44] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: Well - literally in a way.
[25.03.2019 07:39:48] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: "Die Rheinwehr ist mein family."
[25.03.2019 07:40:02] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: "Never stay around strangers fella."
[25.03.2019 07:40:08] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: "Ich could kill you right now."
[25.03.2019 07:40:13] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: "Right here."
[25.03.2019 07:40:55] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: You could try - but the life I live is a life beyond sensation and emotion. Not technically beyond death, but much harder.
[25.03.2019 07:41:10] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: "So you're saying you wouldn't care?"
[25.03.2019 07:41:37] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: I'm saying I'm both formidable and unphased.
[25.03.2019 07:42:56] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: "Tell me, you're trying your luck with me?"
[25.03.2019 07:43:43] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: "You'll see more of me in die near future if you will stick to die southermost Omegas."
[25.03.2019 07:44:27] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: We've already calculated that you are not a threat. Mathematically - you're of no consequence. Nothing personal.
[25.03.2019 07:44:35] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: "Math?!"
[25.03.2019 07:44:41] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: "You're kidding me right?"
[25.03.2019 07:45:25] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: "If you think Ich am not a threat you think wrong and your math is wrong aswell."
[25.03.2019 07:46:12] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: I did not miscalculate. You have a cruiser. No nearby drydocks, no feasible allies. That is quite the contrary to ours.
[25.03.2019 07:46:57] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: You really believe everything you're told?
[25.03.2019 07:47:18] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: "That will get you killed soon enough."
[25.03.2019 07:47:33] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: From you - we believed nothing but the few truths you spoke - We also calculated for the opposite conditions.
[25.03.2019 07:47:41] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: Your numbers were found - lacking.
[25.03.2019 07:47:48] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: Calculations calculations.
[25.03.2019 07:47:56] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: "But they're all wrong buddy."
[25.03.2019 07:48:26] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: We will see. What is behavior other than a set of actions - and actions are everything.
[25.03.2019 07:48:50] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: "Ich am warning you, don't come across me next time."
[25.03.2019 07:49:08] ,Albtraum,|Aoi: "Or any of my, comrades."
[25.03.2019 07:49:16] IRG|Primis.Tenebris: V: I need not restate my findings.

Doctor,
The Army is currently in the process of acquiring the data on sight, please coordinate with any SOA research vessels and forward spare data. Also, do make an effort to report any other individuals not listed as allies of the Army. Omega-2 has been claimed as territory of the Volksrevolution, and given the events in Omega-3 - we have every intention of fighting to keep it that way.
Onto the vessel you encountered, there's a saying among the SOA "Keine Identität, keine Gnade" to which the best translation means - no transponder, no mercy. A ship wandering the deep Omegas is most likely not human. We've dealt with thousands of these individuals surrounding nomad hives and small facilities throughout the deep Omegas, all of them share this once feature - no IFF.
It seems the vessel was either after something else or was fearful of whatever ship you were using. Do take caution should a similar instance occur next time.
Signed, Generalmajor
