Field Agent Sunderland of the TacOps reporting.
Before I received the order to relocate I had been monitoring Liberty space and pursuing a code Bravo. Bravo was lost, but I detected another potential threat, which can be counted as important as code Delta. The threat was a Corvo-class explorer detected below the orbit of Manhattan. What's more important, it had Order signature, so I decided to pursue. I couldn't stop such a vessel on my own, nor did I have a disruptor, so I followed the vessel. I managed to calculate it's approximate movement vector and requested help. The Corvo was heading for the Texas system.
In Texas I have teamed up with David Mike, an officer of the Black Navy Guard, who joined the pursuit. At first I thought that the Corvo was heading for California jump hole, but their captain ordered to change direction and proceeded to the jump hole hidden in the Pequena Negra cloud. The jump hole led us to Pennsylvania. By that time I had already learned where the vessel was heading and requested backup in the California system. The trap worked as planned, and the Corvo was forced to stop.
At first I considered sending an assault team to capture the vessel, but the Corvo's CO claimed that he had enough troops to repel the attack. I couldn't rely on chances in this matter, so I decided to arrange a short questioning, hoping that the captain wouldn't risk his crew and the vessel. However, I didn't manage to find out much.
The commanding officer of the Corvo turned out to be Order Primary Fleet Colonel Christopher Leigh. The vessel itself, as the Colonel mentioned, was monitoring Nomad activity in the area, as well as serving as a mobile base for the Order. I also decided to use this opportunity and find out more about their command structure, but that was the part the Colonel didn't want to reveal. Instead he ordered his crew to activate the engines and tried to flee. Naturally, I couldn't let him escape, so the team that had ambushed the Corvo received the order to damage the engines and the ship itself. The boarding remained the only option.
I do not have any details of the assault, the team coordinator didn't tell much to a field agent for obvious reasons. However, they found out that the Order operatives had managed to send a transmission before the end of the operation. Our specialists did not manage to trace the transmission or get the contents, since the console was damaged, but it could have been a distress call, so they decided to leave the vessel disabled in the area, because our team was not ready to face more Order forces. All Order operatives who were captured on the vessel have been temporarily transfered to one of our Los Angeles facilities until further orders. Our specialists will be finding out their identities in the meantime.
