Guten tag. Agent Roberts Lassen, from Second Assault Fleet's Special Operations Battalion. reporting in.
I have pretty shocking news for you, sir. Well, let me start from the beginning.
It all started several days ago, when we have been pursuing one of Hessian transport ships. During that pursue, we stumbled upon IND transports with pretty rare... commodity, namely Xenobiotic Filters - with uncommonly large amounts of those, in an asteroid field containing Dresden jumphole. Unfortunately, due to more urgent matters, one of which was already reported to you, and the lack of additional manpower (S.O.B. was not fully staffed back then) we could not look deeper into it.
Pair of days ago we got such opportunity. Our vessel spotted one Independent Neuralnet Division ships, callsign [IND]Derived.Demand, that was heading towards Hamburg system from New Berlin. (Add.1), and got on his tail. As it was expected, the ship proceeded to Cold Bay depot in Hudson, where he got full cargo of Xenobiotic Filters, and headed back to Rheinland. (Add.2, Add.3, Add.4, Add.5)
Our Ghost proceeded to follow him. First everything was going fine, he arrived to Hamburg (Add.6), and then to New Berlin (Add.7).
So, everything was fine, until we reached Brandenburg Station. IND vessel did not proceed by trade lane, but turned towards an asteroid field. (Add.8). Soon he reached Dresden jumphole. (Add.9). Continuing his pursue, our agent arrived to Vogtland base, with a Hessian vessel, callsign [RHA]RHT-Talesin, nearby. (Add.10, Add.11) It was decided to continue our mission. IND vessel was of higher priority, because we totally lacked intel on this group, and, unlike the hessian ships, it has a full civilian access to all Rheinland facilities, and therefore is capable of getting required materials there.
Independent Neuralnet Division vessel proceeded to the jumphole to Omega 11, as we expected. (Add.12) But then things went into totally different way - instead of turning to an earlier discovered Diamant base, he turned towards Omega 5 jumphole. (Add.13, Add.14) Due to that... weird behaviour (we were completely sure he was working with Hessians), another agent joined in. (Add.15, Add.16), and they both proceeded to follow him. I broke off in Omega 11 and returned to base. (My ship's callsign was Asco. as it can be seen on few guncams, and I've been using Freelancer papers - to draw his attention towards me, and allow our guys do their job)
After some time, IND vessel reached jumphole to Omega 52, and jumped there. (Add.17). Our Ghosts followed him. (Add.18) Very soon, another IND vessel, callsign [IND]Frozen.Assets joined in. (Add.19).
IND and Coalition? Two, ideologically most opposite factions in Sirius? Despite of a very high risk, it was decided not to abort mission.
And it indeed was a right decision. After a, relatively, long trip, IND vessels arrived at the other side of that large nebula, right at the recently (supposedly, judging by it's size) built Coalition installation, named Orkutsk Citadel (Add.20), and docked there. (Add.21, Add.22). A brief moment before that, our second Ghost made a quick scan of [IND]Frozen.Assets vessel, and found out that it was carrying Ship Hull Panels. (Add.23, Add.24). Unfortunately, we do not know where he got these supplies.
Our Ghosts decided to stay there for a bit longer, while they had fuel, and a third Independent Neuralnet Division vessel, callsign [IND]Profitable.Growth, carrying Ship Hull Panels came in and requested to dock with the base. (Add.29).
Just a pair of minutes afterwards, FOURTH IND vessel, callsign [IND]Poison.Pill undocked from that facility. (Add.30). Unfortunately, he was out of scanning range, so we could not verify his cargo.
After that, our Ghosts started to run out of fuel, and decided to return. They managed to do it undetected, safely reaching the Jumphole to Omega 5, collecting some intel on that system as well (Add.31, Add.32).
Second Ghost safely returned to Karlsruhe Battlegroup afterwards. (Add.33)
First Ghost noticed an AGS vessel during his way through Omega 41, and decided to follow him for a while. The vessel ended up docking in Omicron Gamma, on Planet Crete. (Add.34, Add.35). Do they have any sort of relations with corsairs?
After that, our vessel safely returned to Solarius station. (Add.36, Add.37)
Addendum38: We guess there's a significant amount of different factions and groups, that would be very happy to receive this information.
Addendum39: Location of Orkutsk Citadel, Coalition system.
Roberts Lassen, over and out.
