Ubaste departed on scanning patrol from southern Liberty to Barrier Gate. Notable locations were added to database, Kansas flythrough provided interesting insights into Naval operation in 829. Continuation into Vespucci indicated Naval presence still active, this incursion spearheaded by 46th, detachment of Liberty Navy, commanded by individual named 'Brown', no rank specified.
Dialogue with Brown and attending personnel indicated 46th intentions to assist LSF operations within Inverness against Technocrat forces, citing supposed cooperation with Nomad-entities, likely referring to prior encountered Nomads belonging to 'Song of the Abyss'. Captain Tilson proposed submission of related materials to my account, no reception as of yet.
Additional Order presence in the form of Section 8 identified vessel Unto Nightfall, evidently known to Naval Officer Brown given dialogue.
Ubaste concluded exchange, and continued on scanning patrol without further interruption.
Strategic;
Scans of southern Liberty systems indicate potential alien presence; Further scans should be conducted.
Dialogue exchange with 46th personnel on operations within the Inverness system are of interest but non-impactful to primary mission. 46th vessels in attendance have been added to local registry and valid defense archive.
Personal;
Kansas holds some potential with regards to a forward listening station. Isolated, remote, and a pain to track in. Once command forwards me those logistics vessels, might pursue that avenue.
Exchange with the Navy revealed some interesting insights, though no hard evidence as of yet. Dead certain the accusations of Nomad cooperation involve this secondary mindshare, which remains troubling. Regardless, our own evidence does not corroborate the accusations, at least not without the usual over-hyped flair.
Will maintain an observational operative in Inverness to keep an eye on operations there. Funai will be the best choice.
