To the esteemed Shogunate.
Our Covenant hasn't been on the best terms with your people for quite some time. However, we do have some information that we hope may interest you.
The following is an intelligence report compiled by our forces in the field. We suspect the individual may be affiliated with your organization, and hope to work closely with you to ascertain their true nature and, if necessary, eliminate them.

We wouldn't normally respond to unID'd transmissions asking for sensitive information but your determination or to have this cross my desk for a third-time, hints that you won't go away until it has been addressed.
I'm not a fan of making assumptions nor being a detective, what organisation or "Covenant" do you represent? I have to ask as there are many who aren't on the best of terms with us and other than your own rank there is nothing within your original communication to suggest as such.
Now, the report I find it incredibly odd that you chose the thruster to identify a ship rather than the origin of the ship itself. The Wyvern is a relatively new addition the Navy forces ship line one of which would suffer a power efficiency deficit. I'm not saying that these don't exist within the Blood Dragon ranks, but they are certainly rare.
This target is more likely to be a KNF pilot who stumbled salvaged a dragon thruster (which I'd be keen to get back) or a very very lucky junker, either way if you can confirm them an infected the Shogunate supports your hunting of them and is likley to assist you in finding them should they enter Kusari Space.
Arigato,
Heung Hideyoshi,
Shogunate Treasurer and Representative of Shogun Hideyoshi.

We apologize for the delay. Our forces were preoccupied trying to deal with this problem, and it came to a head within the Omicrons not too long ago. We managed to intercept the target over a local gas giant and attempted to interdict and capture, but they evaded capture by using a nearby planet as their escape method. We suspect the craft was heavily damaged by our drone's missiles. The scans of the target's loadout and equipment seem to create more undeniable proof of their infection.
I contacted you on behalf of Auxesia, a group that you may have heard of by that name than just the Covenant. Despite any misgivings you may have about us, our top priority will always remain the containment of the Nomad threat, and we work actively towards that goal. Any information you might come across regarding this case would be appreciated, should see fit to dispel with the past and confront the larger menace.

Information bleed from Auxesia has been incorrect before, one of your operatives made an assumption that was incorrect that cause some issues for me in the past. That said the evidence you have sent me does seem conclusive, whoever you are chasing does appear to be infected yes, but as it stands I don't see any reason why they would be linked to the Blood Dragon. Do you have any other information that may suggest so?
Regardless, the Shogunate also fights the cause against the infected and will add this target to our eradicate list, although I don't know of any creature that could survive a collision of such magnitude, it would be a sight of wonder if they appeared again, but rest assured if they do, we will do our best to ensure that we disable them permanently.
As for dispelling the past, I was informed from your comrade that Auxiesa isn't on the best terms with the Overwatch this coupled with the fact that your organisation has proven that it cannot be trusted leaves me little desire to move on from our current diplomatic standpoint. Considering the goals of Auxesia this is a true shame as we have many things in common, even as we speak the Shogunate is preparing to launch a new wave of anti infectee measures in Kusari.

It's funny you should say that whole business about not knowing who it was.
We recently went over our comms and found a transmission regarding establishing relations with a Dragon-aligned group known as the Augus Clan by a one Daimyo Sakurai Augus. And during one of our patrols, with verification by some new Auxesia pilots and an individual by the name of Megaera both recognizing the voice of the pilot, that this was indeed the same person. The infectee confirmed this and, although we don't trust their kind normally, the evidence does seem rather damning. Here are the relevant logs:
Code:
[27.04.2018 18:36:52] A/)-Mugunghwa: Augus..? As in... Sakurai?
[27.04.2018 18:36:53] A/)-Purple: Indeed.
[27.04.2018 18:36:56] A/)-Purple: Oh, living and that.
[27.04.2018 18:37:02] A/)-Purple: Excuse me, need to hunt a target.
[27.04.2018 18:37:04] A/)-Onyx.Wing: I think, I recognize this signature, voice, whatever.
[27.04.2018 18:37:10] Augus|Aoi: S: "Have you just called my name, Auxesian?"
[27.04.2018 18:37:18] Core|WV-Anassi: Have fun.
[27.04.2018 18:37:21] Core|WV-Anassi: I know you will.
[27.04.2018 18:37:25] A/)-Harpy-2"Striker": We got confimation boys and girls!
[27.04.2018 18:37:26] A/)-Pulsar: We do try to.
[27.04.2018 18:37:26] Augus|Aoi: S: "How comes you know me?"
[27.04.2018 18:37:27] A/)-Mugunghwa: Yeah. I know you all too well from when you came to 11.
[27.04.2018 18:37:27] A/)-Firmitas: That's your name, then? Good. That settles that.
[27.04.2018 18:37:46] Augus|Aoi: S: "I wasn't gonig to hide that anyway."
[27.04.2018 18:37:50] A/)-Firmitas: We'll need to bring you in for questioning.
[27.04.2018 18:37:53] A/)-Purple: Why be surprised then?
[27.04.2018 18:38:14] Augus|Aoi: S: "I won't answer any of your questions anyway, so don't bother yourself."
[27.04.2018 18:38:26] A/)-Purple: you already did, so thank you, dear organism, for that.
We will continue our efforts to apprehend the target. In addition, they seem familiar with someone named "Megaera". We suspect these two may be cooperating with one another. Watch for her.
You may choose to believe us or not, or refuse to enter into more peaceful relations. But I hope we can at least cooperate in taking this infectee down.

Curator Firmitas,
I agree that the evidence does look like it may be the late Daimyo Augus. Either way this menace must be dealt with. The Blood Dragons will attempt to capture or if that isn't possible neutralise them. If you have any further encounters please use this channel to inform us so we can work out their location.
Arigato,
Heung Hideyoshi,
Shogunate Treasurer and Representative of Shogun Hideyoshi.
