[color=#FFCC33]Yesterday, the AI Cruiser, Ecclesiarch.Alpha, entered Omicron Minor again. We had disabled it a couple of days ago for intruding Omicron Mu. Yesterday, we got reports of it being back again. The 141 Task Force quickly responded to the call for backup, and we quickly closed the exits out of the system. Then began a tedious combing of the system. As many as 15 Order pilots were present. None from primary fleet however. The AI seemed very talkative, but refused to reveal it's location. During our sweeps, we had only occasional contacts with it, but it managed to slip away from our grip every time.
We came up with the idea to send a powerful virus through it's commlink, thus forcing it to reveal it's location. An independent pilot named Forlorn d'Autoine had vast knowledge in this area, and he was chosen to create the virus. He was assisted by one of our own Ensigns, Achenar Kado, who also seemed educated in this subject. The two of them tried several times, but the AI had powerful protection against this. Unfortunately, we didn't have one of our Reseph cruisers with us. It would have made the task simple with it's powerful systems. After several attempts to breach the AI's integrity, we had to give up.
From where I was sitting, this was a textbook example of how to perform a search. Captain Corzelli coordinated the operation, and a systematic sweep was performed. The vastness of Minor, and the radiation emitted from Toledo, makes it easier to evade our regular scan, and it's my belief it was the reason we weren't successful. If a Reseph somehow could be accquired, I'm sure the outcome will be different.
Our newest recruits, Ensigns Kado and Johnson deserves recognition for their untiring efforts sweeping through the system. Independent pilot Forlorn d'Autoine also deserves recognition. I think he would be an excellent addition to the 141 Task Force. He also seemed to have caught Captain Corzelli's attention. A good man to have alongside, I'd say.
