Initiate Taden Harrs, reporting in:

Began first patrol of Omicron-Delta system. Engaged small group of Corsairs, no difficulties.

Was called back to Yaren Base by the Guildmaster. I approached the base and then took up formation with Jessica Scarlet's ship. She offered me a tour of the system to help familiarize myself with the danger zones, jump points, and other important locations. After a thorough scan of Delta, we moved on to Omicron-Rho so she could show me around the entrance to O-Xi. Everything went very smoothly and we were headed back to Yaren for down time.

At this point in my report, I must apologize for my lack or formality. My emotions run high when it comes to putrid Nomads and their vile spawn!

Upon approaching the base, the cap ships long range scanner picked up something strange, and I was instructed to hold on my docking procedure. Soon, my scanner picked up the unknown, unidentified contact as well, but it registered RED on the [IFF].

The Guildmaster wisely advised me to keep a good distance until we could evaluate the situation. They might not actually be a hostile. She keyed up comms with the intruder, who's ship vaguely resembled something out of Rheinland, and asked them to identify themselves. A closer scan revealed that they were in possession of weapon technology that we definitely consider "Suspect". Jessica subsequently asked the unidentified ship where they came in possession of such tech. The intruder was very vague with their responses. Mentioning that they were just from Rheinland and that they simply couldn't 'remember' where they had acquired such advanced weapons. We continued to press them for information, but the conversation seemed to be devolving rapidly. The unknown contact would babble some nonsense to what seemed to be another contact, although no other recipient was in range of the transmissions. In between responding, always vaguely, to our inquiries, the still docile hostile rambled on about luring someone somewhere. They offered to 'show' me something 'incredible' at several points, but I was already strongly suspecting alien interference by this point. In my history with the Nomad Invasion Conflict I had plenty of experience with blasted infected and I was highly suspect of this oddly familiar behavior.

Eventually, the intruder began to openly engage a random Core patrol and once he was clear of our friendlies, I was given clearance to attack the sick infected garbage! Unfortunately, having just been released from the H+ Clinic, my combat skills and reflexes are not as sharp as they should be. Passion and rage can not alone win the battle, and my ship was disabled during a long intense dogfight. I hobbled back to nearby Yaren with confidence that the Guildmaster would wipe this stain out of the universe for us... Comms soon confirmed my expectations, and I was able to receive medical and cybernetic maintenance knowing the sickness of the infected was inoculated!

I remain in maintenance for now. I will be fully functional for my next scouting detail.

Taden The Dark Harrs, signing off.
