Crayter Military Reporting Facility

[Panzer]

Now that the Iblis has been repaired and fitted with stealth systems, I hereby submit the report from its first cruise since the invasion.

At about noon today, friendly assets in Leeds reported some activity, suspected as GMS exploiting the field near occupied Stokes. Upon discreet arrival, no enemy assets were detected on-site or anywhere in the reasonable vicinity. Reluctant to loiter and attract attention, I withdrew to T31 to try and hopefully intercept traffic of opprtunity.

slightly north of Holman, a Bretonian fighter appeared, seemingly operating with the same goals as we were. Surprisingly, the ship started using known alien/heretic code in its transmissions. Taking no chances, I gave the order to engage and following a protracted chase fight, managed to eliminate the heretic spacecraft. On a side note, proximity-triggered ordnance is woefully ineffective in asteroid fields. Recommend replacement.

All that amidst professions of innocence, coupled with threats of diplomatic reprecussions. All too familiar and ineffective, considering both the 15th's experiences against irrefutably infested D9, as well as standing rules of engagement and recognition manuals.

Following that encounter, I moved back to FP's vicinity only to be harassed by what appeared to be Kusari Exiles designated as /Z/. The person who appeared in charge, in a fashion typical of the Kogen administartion enforcers proclaimed, that as far as the Exiles were concerned, our own people had no business in T31 and 29 until such a time as our diplomacy made an overture and... if I understood the meaning correctly - that we had no choice but to ask for the Exiles' help.

Seeing as an Exile destroyer appeared on the scene, I left, only to return to the area silently a few minutes later.

I highly recommend, that this report be forwarded to our foreign service.
