Wir Grüßen den Orden and his members.
To whomever is on the other side, this is Lieutenant Lahr of the Rote Front der Hessen. I was tasked by my superiors to reach out for your help regarding an internal investigation.
We may have a possible lead on an infiltrator group and require your assistance. As you are aware, the Hessians are no strangers to Das Wilde and their schemes, there is no need to withhold intelligence on them from us. So, unless you have information on Rheinland borders now extending to Omicron-Kappa, we have to talk.
That said, I must request that this matter remains strictly between us for the time being.
Mit Respekt,
Lahr ende.

Greetings.
My name is Adam Helson, and I am the commander of the 34th Order Brigade - "Hades". We have received your message through our communication channels. We need details to proceed

Lieutenant Lahr,
Your message has reached the right ears.
The Order acknowledges your concern, and the possibility of Das Wilde infiltration is never taken lightly — especially within groups that operate near Rheinland and deep system corridors.
Your reference to Omicron Kappa is noted. That region has seen anomalous movements recently. If unauthorized Rheinland-aligned vessels have breached those coordinates, it would align with known Wilde behavioral proxies — posing as Rheinland elements to mask deep Nomad excursions. A tactic we are unfortunately well familiar with.
Your discretion is both wise and expected. This matter will remain sealed within Order intelligence channels — no broadcast, no records outside internal code rings.
If you can provide any transponder logs, behavioral anomalies, or linguistic patterns from the suspected infiltrators, we can cross-reference them with our deep records. We have heard their voices, we know the tell-tale signs.
You are correct — the Hessians have bled against this enemy before. That shared blood earns you our attention.
Awaiting your packet. We will be watching.
— Agent S. Kephra

Guten Tag,
It's good to see Order as responsive as ever.
Captain Helson, Agent Kephra, I’ll start from the beginning.
One of our transports, a DL-XBW nicknamed Gullaldr, was tasked with bringing Kemwer tech from Akhabat to Freital. The transport had no escorts and was lost somewhere in Omicron Kappa. We believe it, along with the crew and cargo, to be lost. I take full responsibility for it.
Now, I haven't contacted you to mourn our people. The last message from Gullaldr was a long-range transmission to Freital. Our ship was attacked by what the captain identified as "Noth" - a Rheinland Oder-class gunboat claiming to be a customs officer on patrol. Although the name meant nothing to us at first, later patrols reported sightings of freelancer ships flashing the "Noth" codename in the Omegas, all the way to Dublin.
I'm here to ask whether you're aware of this organization and if they operate in the Omicrons as well. Unless you have intel confirming Military operations in the region, this is enough for us to start connecting the dots.
I'll await your answer.
Lahr ende.

INVESTIGATION
Greetings.
Our unit suspects these people of being infected. We do not have exact information yet, the investigation is not enough due to the lack of available hands. Right now, all agents are busy with higher priorities.
Here's what we do know for sure:
One of the pilots in this grouping was tested on Freeport-11. No infection was detected.
The group designates itself as independent mercenaries. The exact origins are unknown.
The predominantly used ship classes are fighters and bombers. The exact line of shipbuilding is not established. The earliest reports said Rheinland, but we need more verification.
The Omicron Delta, Omicron Kappa system was generally considered to be the group's area of operation. There is information that they worked in Omega-41.
Suspicion was aroused because of the neutral-negative attitude toward the Order. Attempts to stop and interrogate this group while they were working in the formation were unsuccessful: they considered it a sign of aggression and opened fire. It's worth noting that having a so-called incubus inside is not the only way to get infected. The Order knows of others. And so the fact of suspicion will not be lifted until we have all the information about them.
On our part, we request the following information:
Your testimonies about the work of this grouping in other regions. Or leads to organizations that have had any contact with them.
A clear explanation of how your transportation ended up in Omicron Mu, where it doesn't belong.
These two points require you to answer as fully as possible.

Guten Tag, Lieutenant Lahr,
Your full disclosure is appreciated — even if the news is grim.
The disappearance of Gullaldr, especially under the circumstances described, raises numerous red flags. Kemwer artifacts do not simply vanish, and neither do vessels carrying them. The fact that this occurred in Omicron Kappa only deepens our concern, as the region continues to exhibit unstable Nomad vector anomalies.
Regarding the entity identifying as "Noth" — yes, this codename has appeared sporadically in low-bandwidth data bursts and fragmented surveillance sweeps. The reports are inconsistent, but troubling:
The vessel’s transponder signatures do not match official Rheinland registries — at least, not anymore.
In several encounters, Noth has mimicked federal comms protocols used prior to the Nomad War.
Its mobility pattern shows improbable jumps — as if operating outside known gate and lane networks.
It has been spotted in the Omegas, as you noted, and we’ve intercepted partial traces of it as far as the Kepler Drift Expanse.
We do not believe "Noth" is a rogue military unit. Our analysts are reviewing the possibility that it is either a front for Das Wilde activity — or worse, a sleeper unit revived by Nomad influence and cloaked under old Rheinwehr credentials.
If the Gullaldr carried unshielded Kemwer components, the attackers may have used them as a homing vector. This would not be the first time alien subroutines were awakened by artifact transport.
Recommendation: Halt all unescorted artifact runs until further notice. This "Noth" may be testing Hessian boundaries, or worse — using you to triangulate deeper Order infrastructure.
We are dispatching a Black Echo wing to comb Kappa sectors D-3 through G-5 under stealth protocols. If your people find debris or radiation echoes from the Gullaldr, log them — and send coordinates on this channel.
We will uncover what lies behind that name.

Guten Tag,
Captain Helson,
Confirming this organization operates in the deeper Omicrons does add another piece of the puzzle to my suspicion.
Regarding the additional information you requested: the testimony consists of simple reports from patrols within our area of operations in the Omegas, Omicron Theta and Gamma, where we battle the corsairs. It seems our men began encountering ships designated as "Noth" some time before the incident, but haven't been given particular attention. These vessels appear to operate as independent contractors, specifically targeting Corsair operations. Reportedly, they have even assisted some of our men in locating and pillaging transports.
The only organization I have knowledge of working with them are the Mollys of Dublin. Our expeditionary forces on Arranmore report sighting "Noth" vessels fighting alongside them on the Molly side during the recent BAF invasion of the system. That's all I got in them.
As for how our transport reached Mu, it was simply a gambit of mine to bring back some of the more potent explosives you manufacture. I was not aware the system was restricted, as I acted on my own behalf, independently of the Front's leadership. This is why I asked that we keep this matter between us.
The ship’s captain didn’t mention anything about it, but considering he successfully landed on Akhabat, I must assume he acquired permission from your side somehow.
Agent Kephra,
There must be a misunderstanding, our ship was carrying explosives, not artifacts. We do not usually perform this type of haul; it was a one-off operation.
I’m afraid that, given my rank, I am neither capable nor willing, considering my current situation, to dispatch any units to that system.

INVESTIGATION
The loss of Kemwer Technologies from the hands of a third party whose access to Omicron Mu is questionable is a problem. I had already asked for reports from the Akabat ports to be forwarded and was informed that such a ship was indeed there. Allowing a random ship into Omicron Mu will be investigated, but not by us. The outcome of whether it was legal or not will be reported later.
Your tip on Dublin is indeed valuable, in view of the recent escalation of hostilities between the Mollys and the Bretonian Armed Forces. The infected never missed an opportunity to be a “third party”, earning their own benefits.
But that's if they're infected. There is not enough evidence and leads gathered to make definitive statements. If you have any additional information, please let us know about it.
We're looking for any possible location in Omicron Kappa where Gullaldr might be lost. This would establish the ultimate fate of the transport.

Acknowledged.
Misinterpretation of sensor data in that region is not uncommon — electromagnetic scatter near Kappa bodies has interfered with more than one scan log. If your vessel was indeed carrying explosives, that clarifies certain inconsistencies in our telemetry.
Regarding your current limitations — understood. The Order does not expect cooperation where it cannot be given. However, should circumstances change, or should you come across any further data related to the structure in question, we would advise you to forward it through secure channels.
Anomalies in Kappa rarely remain isolated for long.

OMEGAS INVESTIGATION
Greetings.
Recent intelligence signals increased infected activity in Omegas. The potential damage and the reasons behind it require further investigation.
We intend to send three of our agents to the region to conduct further investigations. Since we both have a vested interest in suppressing this threat, we are offering a short-term cooperation. From our side we request access to the Ronneburg Base and the transfer of intelligence on suspects, from your side we request authorization and also assistance in compiling a list of suspects.
