I'm aware of the circumstances, this was nothing more than a fellow heads up, as I knew you were probably still close to him. Bare in mind, I have not seen the body to confirm it.

In regards to the Exciting Adventure, recall that the Sentinels are a memetic threat, they are psychically tied to the hyperspatial field and the areas they protect. As long as your mind knows, and have witnessed their places - felt experiences, they will know. The moment you meddle with the hyperspatial plane, you will alert them due to that bond. As long as there a wound within this hyperspatial field, they may be able to rip open an anomaly.

And I believe there were some studies you wanted me to do regarding the anomalies?

In regards to the weapon prototype we were working on to counter the Sentinels, I will get back to you on that soon. It is primarily the weapon emission system, the emitters, that requires a certain fine tuning. I will return later with the details.

Viper.

As promised before, the energy component in question where we require your assistance. You mentioned you are more than capable of finetuning weapons to increase their level of devestation, but here, I shall present to you the component in question that requires your fine hand. I will need you to create the lens in question to amplify the output of this emitter.

You may find yourself concerned at why we would desire such a highly powerful tool, but as you may know, the Sentinels and other threats have been constantly evolving. This is not something that can be fielded with multiplicative ease, but it will be the first steps in undertaking the elimination of the threat.

Transferred Data

In our recent analysis of the recovered exogenic energy matrices, we've derived a set of novel equations that challenge the conventional paradigms of astrophysical energetics. The core equation, ΔE=γ(α2−β2)Zn/2ΔE=γ(α2−β2)Zn/2, where ΔEΔE represents the energy differential, γγ the dimensional constant, αα and ββ the quantum flux parameters, and ZZ the exogenic energy density, is proving to be a groundbreaking discovery. The equation suggests a quadratic relationship between quantum flux parameters and energy density, modulated by a yet-undefined dimensional constant, γγ.

Furthermore, our investigations into the entropy-quantum coherence ratio have led to the development of the 'Theta-Lambda' model, represented by Θ=λlog⁡(ϵ+ρ)Θ=λlog(ϵ+ρ), where ΘΘ denotes the coherence threshold, λλ the entropic factor, ϵϵ the energy coherence, and ρρ the dimensional density. This model predicts anomalous coherence effects at high energy densities, a phenomenon previously thought impossible.

Incorporating these discoveries, we have proposed a design for an advanced emitter or 'fine-tuner', utilizing the principle of fractal resonance. By applying the fractal resonance equation, Fr=ξ(d−1)ΩFr​=ξ(d−1)Ω, where FrFr​ stands for fractal resonance output, ξξ the iterative amplification factor, and ΩΩ the base energy frequency, we can exponentially increase the energy output. This design effectively acts as a magnifying scope, harnessing and focusing otherworldly energy through a complex interplay of quantum iterations, turning it into a power source of unprecedented magnitude.

And to keep you in check regarding that area of activity, I still have my concerns regarding your ... explorative ideas... luring them over. They have seemed to shift focus to the Omicrons for now. Caliban and co seemed to have taken interest in agitating the places they guard. Perhaps there'll be some distraction in the end.

I presume they have not peaked up lately?

Attention:


Revenant,

Disregarding the weapon, why you need it, and what you intend it to be. You must understand the extreme dangers of quantum fluctuations, especially if your first thought to weaponize them brings you to utilizing the fractal effect. This is a very well-thought-out method for magnifying & condensing any kind of energy, but fractals become infinitely more and more complex. Take that with any kind of energy, whether it be exogenic/solar, photon, tachyon, dark, or gravitational - it could have devastating consequences if the weapon were damaged, corroded - or misused. The Suhl anomaly was the result of something much similar, and here I am with the greatest minds in Rheinland years later looking for a solution.

But yes, I can create the looking glass for you.

The sentinels have not been seen for months, which is the best possible outcome. Best to keep the chatter regarding it to a minimum to keep it that way - especially if what you say regarding them is true, sooner or later there'll be plenty to talk about.

Good evening. I must thank you for your input.


As you may know, I have had my suspicions regarding a one certain Division 7. I believe they may be linked to a certain and newer cell of infectees operating under a banner named 'Die Wilde Jagd' or - simply - The Wild Hunt.

I believe you wanted this list of infectee names.

These are the confirmed visuals and hostile presence we had visuals on the Ixion before having to prematurely attend flying lessons in open vacuum. We tried to get the attention of your comrades to come assist, but it appeared the Corsairs caught their interests more, as they were only willing to attack these vessels only if they were engaged - per the quote below.

Data Log

Image References

There was one more unaccounted unmarked vessel by the name of Wilde.Macht - but we failed to get any scans upon the vessel or their intentions.

I have something that needs to be confirmed however, the Irrwurz was previously a Rheinland Gunboat. Correct?

As for Division 7 itself, I cannot share names over this network of those who may be suspected associates. But I do have some names in that regard.

Attention:


Revenant,

I've been receiving a plethora of evidence showing me that this "Division 7" is likely alien in nature. But as of right now we don't have specific traces of evidence against certain pilots, despite this - I intend to take action anyway.

The appearance of this entire cell is likely the result of paranoia, specifically my plans for Thuringia. They are coming to a close, and have the support of the Military's admiralty board and soon the Ministry of Defence. The ambush we faced in Cologne & Zurich turned all the heads I needed to make my plan a reality, I have never seen that many drones in one place since an encounter I had a long time ago - in Thuringia. This bothers me in particular since our route-threat analysis pointed to the fact that those systems would be relatively less volatile than they were. We expected more Bundschuh, Hessians, Mquis, etc. not a swarm of Drones.

Right now, this cell - and everyone else - is unaware of what my plans entail. The Secrecy of this will be kept as it is, if they knew what was coming they would be asking more questions and looking to sabotage. If I find any information that narrows down the identity of the Division 7 operatives that keep contacting me - I will take action much more... aggressively.

I am quite frankly tired of this infestation that has plagued my home for years, the best way to deal with pests is to set them on fire without remorse - and I intend to do exactly that.

A clean slate, Revenant, you'll know when it's done. Many likely will.

I understand entirely.

However the panic from the loss of their outpost may cause some of them to go down under, losing possible links. Inevitably, there will be more hideouts, but it will be in due time that they will be uncovered. A breath of fresh air from their chaos for a time being.

For now, I have been keeping an eye on some of their operatives to see where or who they will try to mingle with to figure out a possible pattern. I need to see what Adimari is up to in Rheinland, his frequent return may implicate another associate in the area.


I'll be honest, Viper. The energy requirements on the artifact may go beyond what you may be capable of producing with mere abdundances of MOX generators. I even suspect the Artifact is going to respond more generously with energy patterns that match their frequencies, Kavash technologies always were... sensitive to touch. They will only operate with energies familiar to them, anything that matches their ... tunes.


I am willing to donate you one active Nomad Power cell in order to ensure that you get that nest neutralised before they get even more out of hand.

As for the experiment, I'm gathering rather unusual calculations regarding Gotha. I'm not sure what is going to happen, but I know that... Gotha's connection is going to affect the ancient Kavash devices with their connection to the afforementioned map, they are bonded together, a connection so strong that if one were to give the wrong input, it may backfire and fail to even fire. Tread with great caution.

I'll be watching upon the TRV-Scylax.

Attention:


Revenant,

I appreciate your concerns and gesture towards the situation.

However, the incompatibility & volatility of the artifact(s) recovered from these ruins is exactly why I intend to use them. I can explain more once the deed is done, "Civil Servant" could also likely fill you in on as to why I intend to do this.

With respect, I am not a proponent of designing hardware that's reliant on alien technology. Humbly speaking, I am very much capable of designing military hardware that exceeds the standards humanity has demonstrated thus far.

On a separate note. If I could get audio log recordings from your pilot, "Nightshade", that would be much appreciated. Another one of these "Wilde" ships was seen in Frankfurt, apparently openly conveying his allegiances.

Everything you are using here, is based off of alien technology, utilising a function which intertwines with a solar sector, that we do not fully comprehend yet. It is already happening, Viper. The very trade lanes, cruise and jump technologies you see? All derived and reverse engineered.

As for the blood thirsty one. I recall that one. I had a brief encounter today too.

Nasty thing seems to be going around and abducting people for experimentations. Nightshade will forward the data logs when they can.

For the sake of convenience, Revenant's paged me into this communication channel.

I encountered the infectee in virtually the same place you did, a stone's throw away from Mannheim Station. At the time, I'd already been informed about their compromised status. As you experienced yourself not long thereafter, the bomber they were piloting was already heavily damaged. For this reason, I deemed it safe enough to engage in dialogue with them. The audio logs of that conversation will follow.

Attached Audio Log

[15.03.2024 23:44:45] A/)-Nightshade: The trader's long passed.
[15.03.2024 23:45:04] Wilde.Bludnik: Wasn't really looking for a trader.
[15.03.2024 23:45:11] A/)-Nightshade: What, then, were you looking for?
[15.03.2024 23:45:39] Wilde.Bludnik: Ah, just on my way to a... "safe haven" after handling some Hessians.
[15.03.2024 23:45:58] Wilde.Bludnik: No rest for the wicked, and the righteous don't need none.
[15.03.2024 23:46:10] A/)-Nightshade: Which one are you?
[15.03.2024 23:46:29] Wilde.Bludnik: Ah, that depends on which side of the battle you're on.
[15.03.2024 23:46:41] Wilde.Bludnik: Human nature, yes?
[15.03.2024 23:47:10] A/)-Nightshade: I suppose so.
[15.03.2024 23:47:44] Wilde.Bludnik: Well, I assume the other interesting individuals have already told you about me, right, Oh Technocrat Mine?
[15.03.2024 23:48:09] A/)-Nightshade: A couple things, of course.
[15.03.2024 23:48:36] A/)-Nightshade: Why did Hessians draw your ire tonight?
[15.03.2024 23:48:58] Wilde.Bludnik: They didn't. They just happened to have the larger crew.
[15.03.2024 23:49:32] A/)-Nightshade: A crew you're now in possession of, I take it?
[15.03.2024 23:49:36] A/)-Nightshade: Where do you intend to take them?
[15.03.2024 23:50:11] Wilde.Bludnik: To a field of flowers I maintain, to split them apart and put them back together again.
[15.03.2024 23:50:56] A/)-Nightshade: Are you not worried that speaking so openly might upset someone like myself? Inspire me to take action?
[15.03.2024 23:51:59] Wilde.Bludnik: Not particularly. I'm certain you know what I am. That death is difficult for me. Certainly more difficult for me than you.
[15.03.2024 23:52:29] A/)-Nightshade: But from where I'm looking, just a little more likely for you. Even if you're expendable. Even if you're replaceable.
[15.03.2024 23:53:08] Wilde.Bludnik: Ah. Rebuildable. You can shred my very molecules. I would be rebuilt. Can you say the same?
[15.03.2024 23:53:32] A/)-Nightshade: No.
[15.03.2024 23:54:09] A/)-Nightshade: Still, I cannot imagine that your resources are infinite, or that such a process is cheap.
[15.03.2024 23:54:28] A/)-Nightshade: But its very existence makes you utterly fearless.
[15.03.2024 23:54:38] A/)-Nightshade: Commendable, but strangely wasteful, I think.
[15.03.2024 23:54:57] Wilde.Bludnik: It wasn't cheap before. But I cast off what I deemed useless.
[15.03.2024 23:55:02] A/)-Nightshade: You could've spun me a little tale. Pretended to have fought off the Hessians for a good cause, rather than their crew.
[15.03.2024 23:55:07] A/)-Nightshade: It might've been easier for me to stomach.
[15.03.2024 23:55:20] A/)-Nightshade: But you chose not to. It's somewhat puzzling.
[15.03.2024 23:56:00] Wilde.Bludnik: My obsession is purity. To lie is to succumb to a lust, a lesser desire that blows in and blows away.
[15.03.2024 23:56:18] A/)-Nightshade: You sound like you've already succumbed to a lust. Bloodlust.
[15.03.2024 23:57:26] Wilde.Bludnik: Yes, the Lazurith one certainly said so. So will you believe me when I tell you that it is not the simple pleasure of death?
[15.03.2024 23:57:45] A/)-Nightshade: What is it, then? What's your ultimate goal?
[15.03.2024 23:58:36] Wilde.Bludnik: Ultimately? I seek to make a Goddess beyond all others.
[15.03.2024 23:58:59] A/)-Nightshade: Out of the body parts of gathered Hessian corpses?
[15.03.2024 23:59:27] Wilde.Bludnik: No. See, these men? They will not die.
[16.03.2024 00:00:08] Wilde.Bludnik: But as the body aproaches death, it leaves its last vestiges with the mind.
[16.03.2024 00:00:23] Wilde.Bludnik: And the mind does the same to the soul.
[16.03.2024 00:00:56] Wilde.Bludnik: The purity of death comes during the final moments of dying.
[16.03.2024 00:01:14] Wilde.Bludnik: They leave aside lesser desires. Lusts.
[16.03.2024 00:01:30] A/)-Nightshade: You were claiming moments ago that these men weren't going to die. But then promptly shifted gears, and began describing
[16.03.2024 00:01:32] A/)-Nightshade: death.
[16.03.2024 00:01:51] Wilde.Bludnik: They achieve a singular, pure emotion as they get nearer and nearer to death.
[16.03.2024 00:02:00] A/)-Nightshade: Abject terror?
[16.03.2024 00:02:24] Wilde.Bludnik: For some. For others, regret. For many more than I had predicted, satisfaction.
[16.03.2024 00:03:20] A/)-Nightshade: Yet still, you've not explained why you're doing this.
[16.03.2024 00:03:32] Wilde.Bludnik: I take it, and extend it indefinitely. Those who fear for life fear an eternity, yes.
[16.03.2024 00:03:46] Wilde.Bludnik: And those who are satisfied are satisfied for an eternity.
[16.03.2024 00:03:59] A/)-Nightshade: Why? What gives you the right?
[16.03.2024 00:04:30] Wilde.Bludnik: The same right that dictates all else that exists.
[16.03.2024 00:04:38] Wilde.Bludnik: There is only one right, and one obligation, you know.
[16.03.2024 00:04:51] Wilde.Bludnik: The right to make actions, and the obligation to experience consequences.
[16.03.2024 00:05:16] A/)-Nightshade: You seemed to be describing yourself as virtually immune to many of the potential consequences of your actions
[16.03.2024 00:05:17] A/)-Nightshade: moments ago.
[16.03.2024 00:05:42] A/)-Nightshade: If those are the only rules life plays by, then, well. You're cheating.
[16.03.2024 00:06:03] Wilde.Bludnik: Oh, I am most certainly not immune. The consequences I have to fear stem from a different source.
[16.03.2024 00:06:40] Wilde.Bludnik: And those consequences I have to fear could never touch you, or these souls, or much of any part of humanity.
[16.03.2024 00:07:04] A/)-Nightshade: And what would those consequences be?
[16.03.2024 00:07:43] Wilde.Bludnik: Abandonment. Erasure due to disapproval of the desire that drives my soul.
[16.03.2024 00:08:44] Wilde.Bludnik: Oh, and a Marinenachrichtendienst.
[16.03.2024 00:08:54] Wilde.Bludnik: Why, that's almost everyone today.

As I already told you when we met in space, I don't think these are very valuable logs. They're sickening, if anything. This creature revels in torture, and we're no closer to understanding what its brutality is meant to achieve. Hopefully I'm wrong, and you'll be able to gleam more from them than I could.

Attention:


Revenant,

Jump systems, cloaking devices, & travel methods were designed from Alien hardware - yes. Weapons however are not, certainly not mine.

I appreciate the logs provided on the matter of this alien pilot, if you don't mind, I'd like if you could log any encounters with ships bearing the "Wilde" IFF outside of Rheinland. I understand circumstances may allow or prohibit you from attacking, I need only trace their interactions with foreign parties.
