Long range scans picked up a large vessel in Humboldt. As a precaution and possibly a first probe prior to a Viper wing assault, I took out the new Bayonet to find the vessel. I had been hoping it was the Overlord class ship that had been causing us so much trouble. Instead, I found an Osiris conversing with a Congressman inside the southernmost asteroid field, near the base set up there.
A quick scan of the vessel revealed the following:
The captain of the ship informed me that he was there to talk to the Junker and would not be there for much longer.
In addition, one of the transport pilots reported being contacted by the owner of the ship a few hours prior to my recon mission, a man going by the name of Vaelin Darklight. He claimed to be a former Order agent, and was asking about our opinion of him considering his former status. Odd. Perhaps he was rightfully fearful of what would happen should we have found him there and considered him hostile.
In any case, I ordered the Viper pilots to stand down in their hangar bays. However, shortly before returning to Vespucci, I also found a pirate train in the same asteroid field, hauling what appeared to be slaves.
I did not have the cargo hold nor sufficient transports at hand to rescue them, and as such left the vessel alone as I returned to Vespucci.
It is currently unknown as to whether that Osiris will become a security risk. Assets in and around Humboldt should be ready to burn it down should it become necessary.
