Case File 749.888.UL5-1

Subject Name: [color=c25999] The Visitor[/color]

Report Filed and Issued to IOF by: Investigator Rauk Lau'd'fal

Investigation Period: 2 Month, 17 Days

Investigation Status: Ongoing

Cause for Investigation[/color][/b]
[i]*Overseer Murag was the first to say anything. I understand why his was the first report that anything was amiss or in need of attention. When the only complaint to be made is that the fields have been tilled and planted or that new, more viable crops have been sown, there's not much to complain about. I encountered a bit of friction during my investigation, if only because certain individuals failed to understand why anything was being investigated.[/i][/sub][/center]

Frigate | Unknown [cell] [u] Description[/u] 

According to surveillance footage, the ship in question is approximately the size of a frigate. According to our estimates, there should be room enough on board for a modest crew. The ship itself is composed of four distinct parts. There is a central sphere, surrounded by three spires, all made mostly of Luminium, with wood and metal complementing the design of the central sphere.
[sub]*Despite direct surveillance footage, we cannot determine how the ship functions. There are no obvious weapons or engines to speak of.[/sub]

[table=bordered][cell](Image Here)[/cell] [cell][u] Known Encounters[/u]
Interviews with individuals who have encountered the ship's crew all report only one individual. A human woman with the ears and tail of a black fox with white tips. The woman offers help and quickly achieves the labor she takes on before moving on. According to some reports, the ship reacts without her issuing orders.
[sub]*This is on the occasion that the ship and it's crew make contact with locals. Often, work will be done under the cover of night and the ship with move on before anyone can make a fuss, or so it seems.

*She speaks some strange dialect of English[/sub]

[table=bordered][cell][u] Evidence[/u]
Besides the work that has been attributed to the visitor, there are other pieces of evidence that can indicate the ship in question has been somewhere.

Luminium deposits are often found nearby, wherever the ship has been. Reports confirm this trend.

Locations experiencing trouble with aggressive wildlife or other side effects often attributed to Scourge exposure see these incidents decrease sharply.

[u]Capabilities[/u]
Gauging the ships capabilities on this little information is difficult. Surveillance has seen the ship separating into parts that operate independently to work a field overnight, before the parts rejoined each other and the ship left to its next destination. The ship used active shields and lasers to accomplish tasks, with no discernable hard points or weaponry visible on the exterior. The spires do seem to be the tools of the ship that accomplish the most work, with the central sphere acting as a command pod, but this is just conjecture.

[center][u]Conclusions[/u][/center]
[table=bordered][cell]
[sub]*Most investigations sanctioned by the empire yield more data. I believe the technology that operates the craft in question is something we haven't seen before.

*The allegiances of the subject cannot be determined at this time, though The Visitor seems to have benevolent intentions. There has never been any complaints of theft or other damages in the wake of the subject's passage. Few complaints of anything bothersome have ever been made, regarding the subject, and even then, only those of minor inconvenience. According to interviews and reports, the subject has only ever been negligibly negative in effect.

*The subject seems to be self-sufficient, never needing to consume more than a meal at a time from the local economy. According to limited data, these meals tend to be large.

*Those who have met the sole identified crew member of the ship have minimal unique information to offer. Beyond their physical descriptions, they say that she came as quickly as she went, staying only long enough to eat and work. A polite and to-the-point young woman who offers her labor in exchange for a meal and disappears in a Luminium ship.

*The subject has managed to evade contact with military forces, though the known crew member may have made contact with some at some point.

*The economic value and viability of regions the subject visits unanimously increases, and as such I recommend against any hostile actions if the subject is encountered.
