Tidings.
Recently I've been the pleasant aid to a former LSF agent named Hope Yellowstone, code name 'Sierra Omega'. She came to be in my presence via a heavily infested Defiant-class gunship christened the Black Watch which, alongside Captain Henderson and the crew of the South Dakota, was removed as a threat and Yellowstone brought aboard the then commanding Mt. Hood. Since then she's been moved to a medical wing on board the L.N.S. Utah, having recently gone through heavy nomad disinfection and recovery. As of right now, her status is improving. Captain DeGrange came in herself to inspect her, to which I can only assume she had a pleased look. I will continue to monitor her and attend to her requirements.
Ms. Yellowstone's vessel, the L.N.S. Black Watch, was completed in 815 A.S., launched later that same year and given her first operation a year later. The vessel was tasked to scout the system of Omicron Iota, intercepted en route by an infected task force, and subsequently lost contact. She appeared recently near Norfolk, the ship's computer following every guideline it was given. The ship was boarded by Foxtrot team, recovering Yellowstone, the crew deceased already, and making their way out. Captain Henderson ordered for the ship's destruction, prompting the AI to fire back. So far the only survivor of the ship is Captain Yellowstone, and the ship's boarding and destruction is only known to Naval eyes. With hope, and time, I'm betting Ms. Yellowstone will enjoy the retirement she's long overdue.
On another note, the teams aboard the Utah have recently uncovered some relatively new information regarding disinfection and incubi power.
From my team's analysis, the disinfection method pioneered by ex-Primary Commander Avery Reeves, when brought to a high enough density, is usable on those infested with more mature nomad incubi. These incubi can be identified by their complete control over the body of the infestee, with marginal control of their mind as well. However, infestees, such as Ms. Yellowstone mentioned above, can show signs of conflict against the invader. When in control these incubi are capable of relatively strong telekinetic powers, as well as mind alterations such as hallucinations and optical illusions.
