The reason i'm getting in contact with the SCRA at the moment, regards the GZ item code BLACK, and its location.
After several days looking for said item, my crew and i managed to get some info from the GC, even though they are highly paranoid with outsiders, they arent that good erasing traces of their actions. With enough time, we got a somewhat accurate location of the item, with a reliable source. However, no system could be better for hiding something like this one was.
The item was supposed to be inside a mobile research facility, inside the TAKKINAI cloud, in the center of the Tau-65 system, where the scanners of almost every known ship are pretty much worthless. We were looking around the cloud with short range scanners looking for energy traces, but the proximity with the Ekitei X-ray pulsar on the system made almost every signature we found a false positive.
However, after while, we encountered a lone GC Eagle going from the cloud to the Kawada research complex nearby, that seemed to be in a hurry, and since we are not actual enemies with the GC, it overlooked our prescense without scanning our ship properly.
We immediately began to intercept its transmissions, it was calling for an eng. backup team because some transport got a total power failure for some unknown reason, we knew it was what we were looking for; this probably was caused by the artifact itself.
After some minutes we got another transmission saying that the transport was being towed to Kawada at the moment. We couldn't get close to it because it was escorted by several bombers, and a direct aproach would just have been suicidal.
To go unnoticed, several hours later we went to the Kawada station claiming we were just a ͫ͜ d̔ ̨̼̘̋͆ͮ̽k̔̃͑̋̈́f̱ͨ̚̕g̙͚̖̲̬̋ͩ scientific team, that wanted to help researching the Pulsar. While our ship was scanning the installation for the artifact, some of my team was making time, and after a while we found it. But it was heavy guarded with several security systems, and a direct hack and infiltration team would have been noticed eventually, without letting us enough time to undock safely. Then, we decided on a quite risky but plausible plan to get our hands on the artifact, we got a couple of agents infiltrated on the installation, to plant an EMP device on one of the panels that protect the complex from the X-ray waves from the pulsar. Doing so, we would send another agent to retrieve the artifact and place a decoy on the station's chaotic state, while we disabled the security systems while they got re-started, then placing the artifact on our ship, we would evacue with the rest, and go directly to the cloud, to avoid scanning.
The plan went fairly well, however i lost one of my men due to an unplanned explosion inside the complex, generated by the X-ray waves. All the station's power array was directed to the panels left and shielding. and we were able to get out without getting the station destroyed or heavily damaged, and unnoticed.
The decoy will overcharge in a couple of hours, creating a moderate explosion, leaving no trace of it. The GC will probably think it was caused by the Pulsar damage on the station, since it hasnt been studied that much at the moment, they will know nothing.
Code BLACK is on my ship.
Awaiting further instructions from Lt. Alvin Katz.
