Newly Identified Infectee - Blau-1
While returning to Carthage from a patrol through Mu onboard the cruiser OCV-Sothis, we encountered an obviously infected individual designated Blau-1 masquerading as an MND operative and tailing our vessels in the area. Carthage is well defended from a single bomber, so I decided to simply remain on station while collecting the relevant scans instead of pursuing.
Meanwhile a Zoner supply transport designated Parjanya arrived. I had to explain the immediate danger to the Zoner and show him the relevant information to prove the infectee's status to them. I then offered the Zoner transport an escort to Akabat to keep them safe from the lone bomber. We made it approximately 4k from the station before the enemy began launching Cruise Disruptors at us. I ordered the Zoner to proceed to safety and engaged the infectee, driving them off with no significant damage to the my vessel, and the Zoner successfully fled the area. However I was not able to eliminate the bomber before it retreated towards the Tohoku jumphole.
Scans and visual evidence of the infectee's status, as well as an Audio log of the encounter are attached below. You'll notice that this infectee also seems to have forgotten to Alter their ID and IFF signatures before leaving whatever nest the crawled out of.

[07.10.2023 21:38:22] Blau-1: And I thought the Core already eradicated all of you [07.10.2023 21:39:11] Blau-1: You have been declared terrorists by the Marinenachrichtendienst of Rheinland [07.10.2023 21:39:41] Order|CV-Sothis: Roka: News to me. Im not sure that you speak with that kind of authority in the MND [07.10.2023 21:39:58] Blau-1: Your kind is too dangerous to be left alive [07.10.2023 21:40:05] Blau-1: We have records of you attacking civilian vessels [07.10.2023 21:40:14] Blau-1: Indescriminately [07.10.2023 21:40:40] Order|CV-Sothis: Roka: Sounds like bull to me, we've coordinated any anti-nomad operations with you've government that ive been aware of. [07.10.2023 21:41:04] Blau-1: I could care less for your forged documents [07.10.2023 21:41:27] Order|CV-Sothis: Roka: As i yours, you are a long way from home. Leave now [07.10.2023 21:41:40] Blau-1: My department recognizes a half-asses sock-puppet operation when we see one [07.10.2023 21:41:48] Blau-1: Your only purpose is destruction [07.10.2023 21:42:43] Order|CV-Sothis: Greetings Zoner [07.10.2023 21:43:37] Blau-1: What is it you really want? [07.10.2023 21:44:07] Order|CV-Sothis: Roka: The complete eradication of the Nomad species, so not much. [07.10.2023 21:44:14] Parjanya: What a terrible run. [07.10.2023 21:44:17] Order|CV-Sothis: Roka: *Laughter* [07.10.2023 21:44:50] Order|CV-Sothis: Roka: Terribly sorry Zoner, there have been some economy "upheavals" lately in the local market [07.10.2023 21:45:02] Parjanya: What seems to be the problem here? What are you shooting on that man? <Note: Refers To Carthage and Ennaed Defenses firing at target.> [07.10.2023 21:45:43] Order|CV-Sothis: Roka: This is restricted space, we need no other reason than he has no valid transit authorization, also he's been tailing our- [07.10.2023 21:45:48] Order|CV-Sothis: -warships, [07.10.2023 21:46:24] Blau-1: By the way, this is why Zoners have been declared criminals by the nation of Rheinland [07.10.2023 21:46:31] Order|CV-Sothis: Roka: On top of that, he's clearly running Nomad equipment on the bomber. You're looking at an infectee [07.10.2023 21:46:31] Blau-1: Supplying terrorists and acquiring their authorization [07.10.2023 21:46:46] Parjanya: I have been in Rheinland a short while ago. [07.10.2023 21:46:58] Blau-1: There is a very lucrative reward at our office for every Zoner scum we shoot down [07.10.2023 21:47:01] Parjanya: They had no issues allowing me to land. [07.10.2023 21:47:21] Blau-1: Hehehe, you and your forged papers and transmitters. This is not funny. [07.10.2023 21:47:24] Order|CV-Sothis: Roka: Check you're visual scanners if you have range, Nomad Hybrid cannons on his lower front mounts. Tsk Tsk [07.10.2023 21:47:41] Parjanya: My papers are fine. [07.10.2023 21:47:54] Blau-1: As if you had any idea about restricted MND equipment [07.10.2023 21:48:05] Parjanya: If you're from the Military, you are not very competent. [07.10.2023 21:48:10] Parjanya: Nice cannons, though. [07.10.2023 21:48:13] Blau-1: "They are using energy, they must be Nomad" [07.10.2023 21:48:39] Blau-1: But nice attempt of framing me. [07.10.2023 21:48:42] Order|CV-Sothis: Roka: Quite a difference between adapted weaponry and hybrid weaponry. Shows up different on scanners when you know what to- [07.10.2023 21:48:45] Order|CV-Sothis: -look for. [07.10.2023 21:48:56] Parjanya: The Houses *do *like to mess alien technology. [07.10.2023 21:49:30] Order|CV-Sothis: Roka: This is different than the backwards engineered tech that the MND and other Houses can produce [07.10.2023 21:49:33] Blau-1: The Order is stacked with amateurs, they could not tell apart an LSF Fighter from a Nomad Battleship [07.10.2023 21:49:43] Order|CV-Sothis: Roka: Those came from the squids plain and simple. [07.10.2023 21:50:32] Parjanya: I'm convinced now. [07.10.2023 21:50:36] Parjanya: Maybe. [07.10.2023 21:50:51] Parjanya: If he is a 'squid', he isn't trying very hard at hiding his cover, though. [07.10.2023 21:51:13] Order|CV-Sothis: Roka: They usually dont out here in the Omicrons. [07.10.2023 21:51:35] Blau-1: Everyone knows Aliens are incapable of talking [07.10.2023 21:51:47] Order|CV-Sothis: Roka: Think for a moment, do you really think MND authorized him, alone, to fly out here *gestures vaguely at the stars.* [07.10.2023 21:52:27] Blau-1: MND has a project, where they send vessels out for exploration. My designation is Kundschafter Blue 1. [07.10.2023 21:52:32] Order|CV-Sothis: Roka: The squids cant talk, but infectees and Wild can. [07.10.2023 21:53:45] Order|CV-Sothis: Roka: Where are you headed Zoner, I'll escort you on your way. [07.10.2023 21:53:47] Parjanya: A squid in a man. [07.10.2023 21:53:51] Blau-1: That is an arbitrary accusation. [07.10.2023 21:53:53] Parjanya: Spooky. [07.10.2023 21:54:05] Blau-1: Anyone could claim that [07.10.2023 21:54:40] Parjanya: Akabat will do. [07.10.2023 21:54:48] Order|CV-Sothis: Roka: All the proof we needs is mounted on your ship Infectee. But I tire of this. [07.10.2023 21:54:57] Order|CV-Sothis: Roka: Proceed Zoner and I shall follow. [07.10.2023 21:55:01] Blau-1: You are underestimating Rheinland's engineering corps [07.10.2023 21:55:36] Parjanya: If we are all humans out here, on the frontier, with actual aliens out there trying to kill us, we should all be friends, [07.10.2023 21:55:38] Parjanya: shouldn't we? [07.10.2023 21:55:54] Blau-1: I am sorry, but the Order tends to hunt Humans down [07.10.2023 21:55:54] Parjanya: Is there a point at shooting me or these men, Rheinlander? [07.10.2023 21:55:58]Order|CV-Sothis: Roka: That 'thing' isnt fully human anymore. [07.10.2023 21:56:11] Blau-1: So says the terrorist <Note:Target begins firing Cruise Disruptors at this point.> [07.10.2023 21:56:32] Parjanya: Could you not, then, Rheinlander? [07.10.2023 21:56:48] Order|CV-Sothis: Roka: And so it begins, weapons charging [07.10.2023 21:56:58] Blau-1: I am doing the world and Rheinland a favour [07.10.2023 21:57:00] Parjanya: It was nice knowing him, I guess. [07.10.2023 21:57:02] Blau-1: Blue 1 engaging [07.10.2023 21:57:08] Order|CV-Sothis: Roka: Time to end this. [07.10.2023 22:06:57] Blau-1: These warheads are low quality [07.10.2023 22:07:04] Order|CV-Sothis: Roka: HA! [07.10.2023 22:07:06] Blau-1: Engineering needs to reassess [07.10.2023 22:07:16] Blau-1: They are supposed to track [07.10.2023 22:07:23] Blau-1: Probably imported from Liberty <Note: Enemy Bomber retreats towards Tohoku Jumphole at this point.>
