Operation Anubis's Gatekeepers
Inquisitor "Machiavelli" reporting in. I hereby report the congregation of several intriguing elements of recent RCN operations. These activities showcased synchronization with seemingly unrelated events at first glance. Under the codename [CLASSIFIED], an undercover investigation had been initiated, concentrating on extraordinary occurrences, Codename Bandit. The overarching RCN undertaking commenced at the borders of the IW star cluster, all-embracing proximate frontier regions of multiple Houses. Inquisitor "Machiavelli" assumed leadership of the upper class Shadow Operations unit, operating under the support of Section One. Their foremost mission involving intercepting a significant portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, with a keen emphasis on infrared radiation and COMM waves. These classified shadow ops necessitate acquisition of encrypted intelligence from targeted subjects through an undisclosed cache of specialized data.
Inquisitor departs temporary headquarters of Shadow Ops, 4th Battlegroup, investigating deeper into House space. Long-range RCN scrutiny of the general Liberty Republic sector reveals significant readings in close proximity to Foxtrot 3/4 sector, PA system. Adapted scanners detect a marked increase in the influence of neutral population, particularly Zoners aligned with the Outworlders' "strike force." They directly engage in a face-to-face confrontation with Liberty assets, mainly 1st Division(Subjected to illegal terrorist activity against the innocent) of the secondary fleet of the Liberty Navy. The situation had spiraled out of control. Following the conclusion of the circus, unidentified Liberty warships of the "LABC" class without warning appear. Readings did not indicate direct Nomad contamination. Suspicion escalates after a sudden, merciless assault on all assets in the vicinity of Foxtrot 3/4 sector. "LABC" class vessels are destroyed, while the Zoners receive support from LN assets, the Fifth Fleet. In-depth analysis suggests Nomad contamination as the cause behind the ruthless actions of the unidentified "LABC" class vessels. Thereby, heightened activity within Section One had been approved.
Upon the revelation of additional suspect activities within House space, Section One has initiated heightened operations. The trajectory has been redirected towards the depths of the IW star cluster, engaging in thorough scrutiny of potential hotspots, and notorious avenues susceptible to Nomad infiltration. Wedjat has reinforced our efforts by merging vital intelligence with strategic guidance. Agent "Machiavelli," having seen the intelligence operatives off, has been deployed to the INVER sector. A potential contamination source has been duly confirmed. In the vicinity of Delta 6 region, an intercepted electromagnetic wave of decrypted frequency has exposed the presence of covert Nomad sympathizers operating under the covert designation "BG AUX." The subjects have willingly disclosed intel concerning contamination, unveiling critical details. Subject "Vadin.Brent," a well-equipped "Bustard" Class carrier flying the Freelancer IFF, has established communication with the sympathizers. Disturbing intel has come to light, centering around the alleged disappearance of a whole crew contingent aboard the carrier, which vanished under mysterious circumstances amidst a neighboring Nebulae. The cause of this unforeseen and unknown event remains uncertain. The "AUX" subjects have brought forth a potential catalyst, attributing it to the presence of the notorious "Entity" warform. Subsequent to the warform's vanishing act, the carrier faced severe crew losses and sought sanctuary among the sympathizers, establishing an agreement in space.
Continued covert reconnaissance reveals a "covern" operation allegedly focused on Nomad warforms. Sympathizers have been relocated to Nebulae "WeAvNe," a sector within the western region of the INVER system. Subjects purportedly identify traces of smaller Nomad-influenced warforms. Soon, they relocated to Delta 6. Amidst boring exchanges, the sudden appearance of a Bretonian GB Class vessel, codenamed "HMS-Firedrake-[Fae," disrupts the scene. Unidentified IFF signals emanate from the vessel as it approaches the sympathizers. RCN scanners confirm maximum Nomad contamination. The vessel was outfitted with Hybrid Technology and armed with Bretonian weaponry. The sympathizers verified contamination and actively engaged in dialogue regardless. Collectively, all subjects establish friendly compacts and reveal sensitive intelligence. Subject "Caliban," identified as a renegade Freelancer of volatile disposition, proves itself as a neglectable threat to Order operations. The aggressor is implicated in prohibited research into Nomad matter, with dire implications for humanity. The renegade subject is reportedly hunted by the Wild-infested "HMS" GB Class vessel, along with its Nomad allies. Furthermore, the sympathizers disclose the mysterious disappearance of "AUX" terrorist operatives, one of whom bears the codename "Revenant," previously destroyed during the OLOST incident due to Nomad influence. Ongoing investigations have been momentarily halted amidst escalating emergencies in adjacent sectors.
Section One has identified presence of undesirable entities and infiltrated hostile territory. Infested vessels have been further exposed, confirming the existence of alien contamination within the aforementioned subjects. Inquisitor "Machiavelli" will continue conducting investigations in line with the mandate of Section One, alongside the Wedjat Division. For the fallen warriors, we press on.
[30.05.2023 18:09:23] A/)-Kourai.2: I've called for SAR, but we're close enough to guide you to the drydocks for a more indepth scan.
[30.05.2023 18:09:39] Vadin.Brent: Yes, we should go somewhere safe for now.
[30.05.2023 18:09:41] A/)-Kourai.2: Quaratine orders are active, you cannot extend your boarding modules during this.
[30.05.2023 18:09:49] Vadin.Brent: Sure.
[30.05.2023 18:10:00] A/)-Masakados: ...Ten people reported missing with no detected pod deployments. Impossible.
[30.05.2023 18:10:04] A/)-Kourai.2: Are your crew still able to operate the vessel?
[30.05.2023 18:10:06] A/)-Masakados: Perhaps the archives are incomplete.
[30.05.2023 18:10:16] Vadin.Brent: Yes, we are fully operational.
[30.05.2023 18:10:31] A/)-Kourai.2: Could have been an on-board accident. Dusting themselves against the supermatter reactor is a possibility.
[30.05.2023 18:11:01] A/)-Kourai.2: Rotate your vessel and situate yourself in the drydock.
[30.05.2023 18:11:04] Vadin.Brent: They were offduty, most of them in their quarters, or nowhere near dangerous parts of the ship.
[30.05.2023 18:11:11] A/)-ACV-Function: ::A more detailed explanation has to be sought for this occurence::
[30.05.2023 18:11:15] Vadin.Brent: roger
[30.05.2023 18:11:17] A/)-Masakados: According to my cams, the form in question seems to have reached the vessel for a brief moment.
[30.05.2023 18:11:32] A/)-Gestalt: There was that... cloud, the field.
[30.05.2023 18:11:43] A/)-Masakados: The engine nozzles were completely enwreathed by the thing.
[30.05.2023 18:11:57] A/)-ACV-Function: ::It appears that when the field neared the vessel, anything that was in it disappeared alongside with the entity::
[30.05.2023 18:12:06] A/)-Masakados: We will discover the source of this.
[30.05.2023 18:12:08] A/)-Gestalt: Anything organic, anyway.
[30.05.2023 18:12:14] A/)-Kourai.2: How could it extract people without opening up the vessel?
[30.05.2023 18:12:54] Vadin.Brent: The people that disapeared where not close together, in a specific part of the ship.
[30.05.2023 18:13:12] Vadin.Brent: They were in their quarters, some in Ten Forward.
[30.05.2023 18:13:27] A/)-Masakados: Masakados to Spire. Requesting permission to free room in the emergency drydocks for a Bustard class carrier.
[30.05.2023 18:13:43] Vadin.Brent: No androids are missing though.
[30.05.2023 18:13:46] A/)-Kourai.2: They're authorised it for drydock assessment.
[30.05.2023 18:13:53] Vadin.Brent: THanks.
[30.05.2023 18:19:03] Vadin.Brent: Yes, not the most advanced one, but we do.
[30.05.2023 18:19:12] A/)-Kourai.2: Check it's laws, did it corrupt?
[30.05.2023 18:19:34] Vadin.Brent: We already did that, no signs of corruption.
[30.05.2023 18:20:18] A/)-Gestalt: So... ten crew members just vanished without a trace, and absolutely nothing else was touched.
[30.05.2023 18:20:38] Vadin.Brent: Then offduty crewmembers I might add.
[30.05.2023 18:20:56] A/)-ACV-Function: ::The answer must lie somewhere::
[30.05.2023 18:20:58] A/)-Kourai.2: And they were all separated?
[30.05.2023 18:21:02] A/)-Kourai.2: This is highly unusual.
[30.05.2023 18:21:23] Vadin.Brent: So, since we are cleared for now, would it be ok if we moored with the station. People are frankly frightened.
[30.05.2023 18:21:27] A/)-Kourai.2: Are you absolutely certain no airlocks were opened and they didn't get spaced?
[30.05.2023 18:21:32] Vadin.Brent: Yes, they were separated
[30.05.2023 18:21:39] Vadin.Brent: 100% Certain
[30.05.2023 18:22:21] Vadin.Brent: Do we have clearance to dock with the station?
[30.05.2023 18:22:39] A/)-Kourai.2: Temporarily, we can let doctors check you out
[30.05.2023 18:22:51] Vadin.Brent: Might be useful for people to be checked by doctors as well.
[30.05.2023 18:23:10] Vadin.Brent: Thanks for the clearance.
[30.05.2023 18:23:23] A/)-Kourai.2: You'll only be permitted in the public sections.
[30.05.2023 18:23:33] A/)-Kourai.2: A med' team will visit you all first before you can board.
[30.05.2023 18:23:49] Vadin.Brent: Roger that. Thanks again!
[30.05.2023 18:23:55] Vadin.Brent: Docking now.
[30.05.2023 18:23:57] 2023-05-30 18:23:57 SMT Traffic control alert: Vadin.Brent has requested to dock
[30.05.2023 18:24:08] A/)-Gestalt: Well, that's one of the stranger things I've seen lately.
[30.05.2023 18:24:12] A/)-Kourai.2: That was the weirdest thing I have ever dealt with in the past five years.
[30.05.2023 18:24:30] A/)-Gestalt: Heh...
[30.05.2023 18:24:44] A/)-ACV-Function: ::Handling such signatures poses a lot of risks and unpredictability::
[30.05.2023 18:28:26] Tip: Armor Upgrades are permanent items which, when mounted, multiply your ship's base hitpoints. It is an essential item on any ship.
[30.05.2023 18:42:57] A/)-Moonstone: Pah, doesn't matter. It's as dead as dirt now.
[30.05.2023 18:43:03] A/)-Moonstone: Heh heh.
[30.05.2023 18:43:04] A/)-ACV-Ixion: O: Confirmed. Interrogative, where did this XB varient first appear?
[30.05.2023 18:43:08] A/)-Gestalt: Not that it matters, Moonstone, but I'm a not doctor.
[30.05.2023 18:43:16] A/)-Moonstone: Ah? You're not?
[30.05.2023 18:43:22] A/)-Gestalt: Masters degree, actually.
[30.05.2023 18:43:30] A/)-Gestalt: Ixion, it appeared at the edge of the cloud.
[30.05.2023 18:43:31] A/)-Moonstone: Ehh, doesn't matter. You sound like an egghead to me.
[30.05.2023 18:43:39] A/)-ACV-Function: ::Error. Identification scan returned nothing::
[30.05.2023 18:43:40] A/)-Gestalt: About twelve k out.
[30.05.2023 18:43:48] A/)-ACV-Ixion: O: Acknowledged. Be advise, avoid potential contact with these XB varients.
[30.05.2023 18:43:59] A/)-ACV-Function: ::XB type seems to be smaller than a typical gunboat-sized warform::
[30.05.2023 18:44:11] A/)-Gestalt: Hits a little harder, though.
[30.05.2023 18:44:33] A/)-Moonstone: Yeah. That thing appeared as a blip on the scope, we dismissed it as a glitch. Turns out it wasn't.
[30.05.2023 18:44:38] A/)-Moonstone: It seemed docile until we attackedi t.
[30.05.2023 18:45:16] A/)-ACV-Function: ::In addition, the XB utilized an unknown form of missile technology rivaling snubcraft types::
[30.05.2023 18:45:37] A/)-ACV-Ixion: O: Signatures were positive match on the XB-SNT varient.
[30.05.2023 18:48:46] Unsure about the regions listed in your ID? You can use the following command to access the full systems classification list - /helpmenu regions
[30.05.2023 18:51:39] A/)-Moonstone: My scans say you're pretty beat up, Ges. But why are they after /you/, specifically?
[30.05.2023 18:51:42] A/)-ACV-Function: ::All systems operational::
[30.05.2023 18:51:51] A/)-Gestalt: More than already have, I mean.
[30.05.2023 18:52:04] A/)-Moonstone: Good. I'll kill every last one of 'em like the ugly things they are.
[30.05.2023 18:52:04] A/)-Gestalt: I have, uh, a hunch.
[30.05.2023 18:52:06] A/)-Moonstone: Let them come.
[30.05.2023 18:52:12] A/)-ACV-Ixion: O: Specify.
[30.05.2023 18:52:13] A/)-Gestalt: Lemme restock first.
[30.05.2023 18:53:28] A/)-Moonstone: Nah. We've got our biz to tend to here at Val and in our... surroundings.
[30.05.2023 18:53:33] A/)-Moonstone: At least that was the case for me.
[30.05.2023 18:53:47] A/)-Moonstone: Dunno. Maybe the synth has heard from her.
[30.05.2023 18:53:58] A/)-Moonstone: Didja hear anything?
[30.05.2023 18:54:02] A/)-ACV-Ixion: O: Last report from unit was on the First.
[30.05.2023 18:54:13] A/)-ACV-Ixion: O: This is what the system has logged.
[30.05.2023 18:54:17] A/)-Gestalt: Shite... ah...
[30.05.2023 18:54:35] A/)-Moonstone: So what does she have to do with this?
[30.05.2023 18:54:49] A/)-ACV-Function: ::The seeming absence of Revenant needs to be explained::
[30.05.2023 18:54:55] A/)-Moonstone: I understand the forms being erratic and attacking you once. But them focusing you? Five times in a row?
[30.05.2023 18:54:56] A/)-ACV-Ixion: O: Contacting CENT-COMM, inquiring.
[30.05.2023 18:55:51] A/)-ACV-Function: ::Unit requests explanation of "Wolf" and "Montes"::
[30.05.2023 18:56:07] A/)-ACV-Ixion: O: Please expand more upon the fight and how it initiated.
[30.05.2023 19:00:26] A/)-Moonstone: Hey. Trigger discipline, silicon brain.
[30.05.2023 19:00:43] A/)-ACV-Ixion: O: The individual is known for hostile reaction to certain expressions and ideas, such as degrading remarks.
[30.05.2023 19:01:47] A/)-ACV-Ixion: O: Our inquiries were returned, CENTCOMM has confirmed their signals are reporting alive status.
[30.05.2023 19:02:00] A/)-ACV-Ixion: O: However their vessels were disabled in the Texas sector. Specific pinpoint unknown.
[30.05.2023 19:02:26] A/)-ACV-Function: ::To retrieve Revenant and Lazurith would be a priority operation, copy?::
[30.05.2023 19:02:32] A/)-Moonstone: Unfortunate. But hey, no sense bangin' your head on the wall. We'll try to fix whatever that was.
[30.05.2023 19:02:37] A/)-ACV-Ixion: O: Negative. Diplomacy is left for those relevant.
[30.05.2023 19:02:53] A/)-ACV-Ixion: O: Might I add a recommendation?
[30.05.2023 19:03:12] A/)-ACV-Ixion: O: It may be worth reaching out with a communication of sincerity. If the subject remains hostile, not much may be achieved.
[30.05.2023 19:03:37] A/)-ACV-Ixion: O: Offer an olive branch if you believe you did wrong.
[30.05.2023 19:04:09] A/)-ACV-Function: ::Unit requets mooring with Valravn for some checkup::
[30.05.2023 19:04:20] A/)-Moonstone: Ah. Bye, synth.
[30.05.2023 19:04:22] A/)-ACV-Ixion: O: Copy.
[30.05.2023 19:08:47] A/)-ACV-Ixion: O: We can only recommend therapic sessions for dealing with potential trauma.
[30.05.2023 19:08:55] A/)-Moonstone: Like I said, beating yourself up into a coma ain't going to fix this. Maybe they'll get bored and release those two.
[30.05.2023 19:09:04] A/)-ACV-Ixion: O: We will be returning to docks. Navarch Valentine may be interested in reaching out.
[30.05.2023 19:09:04] A/)-Gestalt: It feels like it was more than just a trauma response.
[30.05.2023 19:09:05] Tip: The ''Laws of Sirius'', are a collection of in-roleplay laws for each house. They mention things such as contraband, punishments and fines and are enforceable by lawful IDed ships.
[30.05.2023 19:09:11] A/)-Gestalt: Copy.
[30.05.2023 19:09:14] 2023-05-30 19:09:14 SMT Traffic control alert: A/)-ACV-Ixion has requested to dock
[30.05.2023 19:09:25] A/)-Moonstone: And there it goes.
[30.05.2023 19:09:33] A/)-Gestalt: Welp.
[30.05.2023 19:10:11] A/)-Moonstone: Yeah, this whole thing must've been kept hush-hush.
[30.05.2023 19:16:17] HMS-Firedrake-[Fae: "The elders estabilished a seed of the Light"
[30.05.2023 19:16:30] A/)-Gestalt: What timing...
[30.05.2023 19:16:38] A/)-Gestalt: See?
[30.05.2023 19:16:48] A/)-Moonstone: "Seed"? What're you talking about...
[30.05.2023 19:16:50] A/)-Gestalt: We're all marked, but some are more marked than others.
[30.05.2023 19:18:09] A/)-Gestalt: Whoever's at the helm of the Firedrake, please, tell me I'm not crazy. Tell me I'm not imagining this, not drawing lines betwee
[30.05.2023 19:18:13] A/)-Gestalt: between dots that aren't even there.

[30.05.2023 19:22:21] HMS-Firedrake-[Fae: "The presence... is everywhere"
[30.05.2023 19:26:46] A/)-Gestalt: It looks the same as the others.
[30.05.2023 19:26:56] A/)-Gestalt: About the same size as your own ship.
[30.05.2023 19:27:58] HMS-Firedrake-[Fae: "It was talkative...?"
[30.05.2023 19:28:02] A/)-Gestalt: No.

[30.05.2023 19:31:25] A/)-Gestalt: Yes. You know them. [She does not phrase it like a question.]
[30.05.2023 19:32:10] HMS-Firedrake-[Fae: "We want to share some knowledge with you... the Caliban is alive, you suppose to know that..."
[30.05.2023 19:32:54] A/)-Gestalt: Eirene above! Who IS this Caliban, why do I hear about them CONSTANTLY!
[30.05.2023 19:37:53] A/)-Gestalt: She... had blue hair, an eye like the stars. Not one point of light, but many.
[30.05.2023 19:38:48] HMS-Firedrake-[Fae: "Rude, do not abuse the enlightment."
[30.05.2023 19:39:08] HMS-Firedrake-[Fae: "Everything has its time."
[30.05.2023 19:39:38] A/)-Gestalt: [She sighs frustratedly.]
[30.05.2023 19:39:50] A/)-Gestalt: I don't know how much time we have to spare here.
[30.05.2023 19:40:19] A/)-ACV-Iteration: ::Our questions need to be answered::
[30.05.2023 19:40:30] A/)-Moonstone: Don't know either, Ges.
[30.05.2023 19:40:57] A/)-Moonstone: They're... apparently called here by some kind of "Light".
[30.05.2023 19:41:06] A/)-Moonstone: Couldn't tell you why.
[30.05.2023 19:41:07] A/)-Gestalt: Arc.
[30.05.2023 19:41:14] A/)-Gestalt: Do you know about Caliban?
[30.05.2023 19:41:42] A/)-Arcanite: I fail to see the correalation between Caliban and this gunships presnece, Gestalt.
[30.05.2023 19:42:17] HMS-Firedrake-[Fae: "Questions... you can ask us."
[30.05.2023 19:43:21] HMS-Firedrake-[Fae: "We are here, to enlight... to share..."
