Konnichiwa,

Recently, in my patrols in the Tau systems, I've come across what remains of Battlegroup Auxesia. They call themselves the Technocracy of Auxo, and after a brief share of knowledge with an esteemed member of the Shimamori clan, it's become obvious that what I know may not be recent enough. I have submitted a patrol report to the Naval Forces Headquarters regarding their incursion into the Tau-23 system with the purpose of hunting alien lifeforms. I've yet to witness those lifeforms again. I made contact with a member of their forces afterwards, inquiring on the nature of the aliens. Both the combat detachment and the individual claimed that these aliens were a greater threat than whatever alien life exists in the Omicrons, yet I have not received any proof from them that such is the case.

Later, I once again encountered them, this time in the Saga system. Maintaining conversation was difficult, and the subject fled into sovereign space. Following in pursuit, I encountered the aforementioned member of the Shimamori clan, and we found them in the Tottori system. At this point, it became exceedingly clear that the one I encountered was suffering from an ailment of some sort, and a second one had appeared and was attempting to communicate with them. They were both escorted from Kusari space under my command and concern due to their erratic and reckless behavior.

I hold little faith in the nature of this new Technocracy. I've had the displeasure of encountering the rogue Battlegroup Auxesia before, and despite their claims, these ones don't seem to be cut from a different fabric. In this moment, for the safety of Kusarian assets and within the Tau systems, I request an Intelligence investigation into the Technocracy of Auxo, and recommend heightened combat presence in the Kusari Protectorates and deeper Tau systems.

Respectfully, Kazu Chidori, Nito Kaii
