Abend, Madam.

I am Flotillenadmiral Siegfried of the Logistical Support arm of the Buro der Marineintelligenz.

I have received a report regarding your inquiry into the presence of a BDM survey ship in the Taus.

In short, the Ravenholm Polytechnic Institute of New Berlin, one of our prestigious institutions of higher education, received a grant to conduct a survey on the migration of spatial anomalies and to plot said anomalies to update our stellar cartographic database. While the survey is a strictly civilian operation, standard procedure dictated the accompaniment of a Marinechardienst officer to ensure the safety of the civilian survey crew.

No contact, save for courtesy hails and message exchanges with indigenous mining operations were made, and no combat operations save self defense against several vessels identifying themselves as "Outcasts" were initiated.

Currently, ships in the area have been grounded as per diplomatic protocol upon your inquiry. While the survey teams are currently behind schedule with respect to analysis of the migration of the spatial anomalies, they have been instructed to wait for an answer from your office before resuming their work.

Further questions into this project can be directed to my office on this channel.

Bonjour Flotillenadmiral Siegfried!

I glad received your message about activities in the Tau systems. I have no problems with your exploration of anomalies in Taus. Certainly you can continue research, but be careful. "Maltese"pilots are dangerous and they attack civilians and Millitary forces in groups. Whenever you have a problem, call our forces from Gallic Royal Navy. I will report your message to High Command.

Regards.
Lieutenant of Gallic Royal Navy, Aurelia Antoine
