[Subject: First Operation with Task Force Carentan]

A couple of hours ago, I launched our first operation as part of the Task Force Carentan unit. Agents Daniyal Altaf and Robert Wood had accompanied me. Our objective was just to have a small presence in the Taus, collecting a little bit of data from Gallic installations in the Tau-23 system. In the Tau-29 we were spotted by a Council IFF'ed vessel by the name lazado. The pilot of the vessel agreed not to disclose our location or presence in the Taus, we believe he was conducting trade as he headed towards the Freeport.

When we reached Tau-29 we conducted our reconnaissance of the area. We went over of the Indochine Outpost and collected some data on the station. RDA has their report for the station here, they've already conducted the analysis of the data collected.
Afterwards we headed over to a Gallic Battleship stationed in the system known as the Guillestre.

Unfortunately the battleship's encryption levels were very advanced and we weren't able to get any actionable data on the ship.

We then began to leave the system when we we're interrupted by an EFL employee, a part of its security division. We attempted to leave however the gallic civilian stalled us. I attempted to create an informant within the company but that didn't work out so well.

But that was not the worst of our problems. Two Nomad vessels then appeared, one of them was from the Keepers sect. Surprisingly they weren't violent, at least not straight away. They did eventually turn violent however when they started sending me telepathic messages I couldn't understand. Please note that I have already submitted myself and our other agents present to medical examination and we have been confirmed not to be infected. The Gallic Civilian seemed to admire the Nomad creature so I suspected that he may have been infected. However, the civilian did display signs of displeasure when the Nomad contacted him as well, complaining of headaches and what not so I believe he is not infected but simply misinformed of the Nomad threat.

We managed to collect a heat map of the creature for RDA analysis, so hopefully we'll get something new soon.

Agt. Altaf did lose his control during the mission and began to engage the Nomads but I ordered him to hold firing as the Nomads had not engaged us. He almost broke one of our Rules of Engagement for the Tau systems unfortunately. This does not reflect well for our first operation but I have been given assurances that this won't occur in the future.

When we did start to leave to prevent our infection by the Nomads, Agt. Daniyal Altaf's vessel was destroyed but I managed to tractor in his escape pods. We lost the Nomads at the Baffin system.

Although our first operation didn't exactly go as planned, we did manage to get the information we needed, and much more. So this operation, despite Altaf's vessel being destroyed, was relatively successful.That's all I have to report.

Signed,
John Major, Cpt./Coordinator
