Sig. strength	Escalates from Blood Lookout

Following the Blood is an expedition that escalates from Blood Lookout combat site. The escalation has four locations. Generally three of the locations are in high security space while the last one is in low security space.

Escalation message:
Without you noticing, a small group of the Blood ships slipped away at the beginning of the fight. Luckily your radar systems have picked up a trace leading to this location.

1st location

Ungated area. Killing the commander frigate can trigger escalation. If no commander frigate is present then killing all ships may trigger escalation.

		WD	EWAR	L
	6 x Frigate Corpii Worshiper/...
	0-1 x Commander Frigate Dark Blood Upholder

Escalation message:
You have destroyed the pirate threat. Your sensors have recovered co-ordinates from one of the frigate wreckages.

2nd location

Ungated area. Killing the commander frigate can trigger escalation. If no commander frigate is present then killing all ships may trigger escalation.

		WD	EWAR	L
	6 x Frigate Corpii Diviner/...
	0-1 x Commander Frigate Dark Blood Seeker
	3-4 x Cruiser Corpii Arch Engraver

Escalation message:
As expected, the Blood tried to stop you. The fierceness of the ambush was great, even for Blood fighters and you wonder why they didn't just try to escape into the vastness of space. Perhaps they are hiding something? After your systems have analyzed transmissions between the Blood ships during the fight, they come up with a location.

3rd location

Note: You will need mining laser. Civilian mining laser may work, it has not been tested.

Ungated area. A Rock Formation is about 30km away. Close to the rock formation (in a blueish little cloud) there is a small Arkonor asteroid. Mine the asteroid (you have to complete one or two mining cycles) to spawn the defenders.

		WD	EWAR	L
	4 x Frigate Corpii Converter/...
	4 x Elite Frigate Elder Corpii Engraver/...
	0-1 x Commander Frigate Dark Blood Diviner

Escalation message:
As weird as it was finding this shiny rock here in the middle of nowhere, it is a bit more understandable now, knowing it was only a sadistic trap laid out by the Blood. Luckily you were well prepared and handled the threat with ease. One of the destroyed ships even revealed co-ordinates to a large Blood Raider base.

4th location

1st pocket

		WD	EWAR	L
	3 x Frigate
	2 x Cruiser

2nd pocket

		WD	EWAR	L
	3 x Frigate
	3 x Overseer Frigate
	3 x Destroyer
	3 x Cruiser

Completion
Even though you are not too well versed in the twisted ways of the Blood Raiders, you think it is a bit strange to find one of their cathedrals floating out here, completely in the middle of nowhere. But whatever its purpose was, it is irrelevant now; it isn't here anymore.
