yesterday was deadly and interesting at zhe same time for me. At least I am getting more and more used to it.
First of all we had to deal with a nomad morph in Omicron Minor. Nun, it would have not been a problem for me and a fellow Hathor captain, if zhere would not have been another Osiris captain to eager to shoot it. Unfortunateley, zhe only one he could hit, was mein Bastet! 0102
Furthermore I was able to contact Elisabeth Tate and Dankien Moebus of zhe Omicroners about our zoner friend while I had to wait for ein replacement fighter. To make it short, zhe Omicroners won't interfere but may request evidence on zhat issue later on. Here are some exerpts from mein converstations with them:
After returning to Omicron Minor again, we had to deal with an incursion by members of zhe so-called Black Navy Guard. It seems like zhey already had assassinated some of our latest recruits and their instructors. Unfortunately I could not do anything from stopping them and mein Hathor, zhe Wheel of Time was a wreckage after zhe fight. Right now, she is towed to Evora shipyards for ein complete overhaul!
Later zhat evening, I joined a smal stirke force consisting of one Osiris and several fighters and bombers for a mission into zhe nomad-controlled Omicrons. We were quite succsesfull in disrupting zheir efforts to setup more of their superiors morphs. After some time we had to resupply ourselves at Freeport 11 when we noticed zhat some of zhe Elder nomads were chasing us.
It was a hard and blood fight and we lost at least zhe OCV-Invictus and two fighters to zhat damned Nomad battleship, but with zhe Arrival of zhe Osiris class vessel Shadowbeserker we were able to destroy zhe Nomads. 01020304
After our victory zhe rest of our strike force flew back to Omicron Minor. I departed from zhem and zhis was a mistake. While zhe other Order vessels were en route to Omicron 100 for repairs two ships of zhe Black Navy Guard showed up again and destroyed mein bomber after a short fight. Luckliy I was able to be tractored into zhe Isis some time after.
To zhis point zhe Black Navy Guard owes us several fighters, and at least two or more Hathors zhat they destroyed yesterday. I can only warn all other agents not to underestimate zhis Navy scum!
today I am going to report two intruders that were named Harmless.Wing and Dread.Red. Both entered Omicron Minor and caused a lot of trouble. Dread.Red was the first one we encountered with...and his intentions to be here in Minor were....odd.
Not understanding what his reasons actually were, he opened fire at me after Harmless.Wing arrived and opened fire at me as well. Overwhelmed by the sudden riping off of my shields I had to leave the battle briefly to resupply....but then, after some minutes of fighting we managed to take the two fighters out. Unfortunately we also had one sacrifice...but he managed to eject and we were able to tractor the pod.
Here I have to admit that we had the help of a larger ship with anti-fighter weaponry....the battle may have lasted much longer if it wouldn't have been there.
Thank you, Lennox. This just might be the final bit of evidence we needed. You'll be informed
in the coming weeks as to what our course of action shall be.
According to my orders, i have arrived in the area of operations today - actually, did it a long time before, but it is time to act now.
Liberty is preparing for the offence on the Rheinland territories, no doubt. Due my recon i have spotted numerous trade ships, hauling all sorts of military weapons and vehicles. Even smallest freighters are moving to and from Houston, Texas. I cant imagine what sort of operation they prepare, if almost every transport they have - even Rhinos and Grizzlys - are taking off Houston and coming back again and again.
The two facilities manufacturing military-grade equipment are Detroit Munitions - seems this one is the main source of infantry weapons - and Fort Severn, pretty much same thing for military vehicles. Both facilities seems to have a great need in supplies of alloys.
I assume manufacturing of any military equipment can be sabotaged if needed. Fort Severn presents an easy target.
First - it is outskirted in the Ontario system, close to the Alberta jumphole. Any assault from Alberta direction will have to pass the Red Deer station - the installation protecting vicinity of jumphole to Ontario. I suppose that Red Deer station also serve as early warning listening outpost. This direction is not advised - until any contacts with Rogues made.
Second - position of Fort Severn is 12 clicks away from the ice field. If the constant surveillance on the facility required, scout craft may use a nearby Junker depot as base of operations and ice field as cover - to monitor the in- and out- coming traffic.
Third - the ice field can be used as a cover to strike craft if assault on the station is required. However, the interference with sensor systems from the subject ice field is not strong enough to hide the capital ship energy signature completely. Use of snubcraft is recommended.
Fourth - the facility manufacturing powers can be sabotaged indirectly if required, setting a blockade or raiding the supply lines - transports in the area are usually travel alone and will be an easy target for the Hacker or Rogue ships. Im sure that said factions will gladly provide assistance if asked.
Now for the Detroit munitions. Station is positioned nowhere near the Dallas debris field and is in proximity of Manhattan. Any assault on the facility is not advised due the high risk to the pilots of the strike force. Attempts to prevent hauling a materials to or from installation are not recommended as well - it is well-built and can last long enough to let the all LN fleet gather up and arrive.
Using a Texas trade lanes for cargo interdiction is also risky - the Navy have a grid of satellites and weapon platforms deployed on all length of lane New-York gate - Houston. I believe that attempts to do so will meet a quick respond from Liberty forces.
Now back to the topic. The LSF have a s Silver Wing deployed in Texas and border systems - Bering and Hudson. And this is another reason why i believe that something big is coming up. I was able to get a stable scan on their fighters - all have a codename weapon loadouts. These guys have top-notch equipment - and i think their training is even better. There must be a reason why elite unit like this one is moved to the Rheinland borders.
Surveillance data can be found below.
IC train, moving from Fort Severn in direction of Bretonia border. As can be seen on zoomed image - vessel have cargo pods uninstalled, i assume - for better maneuverability. Unfortunately i was unable to get into scan range. Cargo and destination of the vessel remains unknown.
Example of an ice field interference with civilian-grade sensor equipment. As you can see even camera CPU is affected. EM shielding is absolutely recommended.
Magnetometric sensor equipment has shown that station plating is reinforced with additional composite armor alloys. Use of specialized antimatter hull-breachers advised.
Today three incidents happened during my presence in Omicron Minor. First of all, some agents were dealing with two Outcasts zhat trespassed our space...again. Zhey already were known to me, so I engaged zhem with mein Sekhmet like other agents did. Unfortunately at least one was able to flee into Omicron Kappa, zhe status of zhe other Outcast is unknown to me.
We also had to deal with ein smuggler zhat thought it would be a gut idea to enter Omicron Minor with a cargo full of artifacts. We ordered zhe transport to stop its engines and drop zhe cargo, but he refused and tried to flee to Omicron Delta again. We chased him and finally he was destroyed right after he entered Omicron Minor again. 010203
We went back to battleship Isis for supplies. Zhe primary fleet agents called Euphrat.Tigris suggested to set up a task force into zhe nomad controlled Omicron systems again. Out force consisted of one Osiris battleship, zhe AlphaTwoZero, Agents Selen_Wiliams, John.Freud and Euphrat.Tigris in zheir Nyphtys fighters and me in mein Sekhmet bomber.
Unlike our last mission we did not encounter many nomad entities in Omicron-99 at first and we already thought it to be a trap for us. Nun, it was indeed a trap! All in a sudden, a nomad battleship appeared near our position while zhe AlphaTwoZero all in a sudden had to deal with an engine malfunction and zhen...just was away! Zhere was no explosion, zhe whole Osiris just...disppeared. Zhe resf of us in our fighters and bomber attacked zhe nomad forces. We succeeded in taking out some fighters and two gunboat-size nomads, when all in a sudden two more Marduks appeared near us.
With such firepower against us and with our capital ship support lost due an unknown event, we had to retreat. Our fighters received minor damage, but we did not loose any agent.
Nontheless we were able to inflict some damage on zhe nomads on our retreat, but not as much as zhe last time. It seems like zhey were prepared to some kind. Furthermore I was able to retrieve some nomad ammunition in zhis case some of zheir greater Cruis Disruptors. Maybe zhe Order Science Division will be interested in zhis ammunition.
It is quite quiet in Liberty - and i dont like this. Almost all personnel of Fort Severn is on the upper decks. However - patrols has been reinforced and security is vigilant. Im not going to even try to infiltrate restricted areas of base - until of course any direct orders are issued. Instead i will stick to my current identity.
The Norfolk shipyard is empty - place, usually crowded with all sorts of fighters, capital ships drydocked to repairs or just positioned in the area by vainly commanders to show the Liberty citizens their big toys or just remind anyone who comes around about military power of the house. Not a soul today.
Once i passed Norfolk - i feeled.. well.. something that i can describe as "psychic noise". It took some time until i identified the Nomad presence - but the alien influence was not as hars to resist as i expected to be. Still i doubt that i would noticed it if would not be trained to.
Afer i cleared my mind - i found the Keeper Purifier on my sensors, moving from the sun with same heading i had. I went impulse and began to gather a footage. After about one minute from initial contact creature turned 90 degrees to the left, clearly having an Alaska jumpgate as destination. Nomad entity has crossed my course several clicks ahead on cruise speed. Some time after the object has changed heading, my sensors lost track on the target - but i was able to have a visual on the vessel.
After the encounter i have reached my destination. It is worth noting that LN is constantly shifting units deployed on the border. The vanguard - or watch? - consists primarily from Type-23 gunboats.
Nomad encounter conclusions:
The creature, as i could identify it, was Irra - closest equivalent to this specimen in terms of firepower and defence, are heavy cruisers. However our research of this kin tells that no Nomad "capital ships" have a weapon capable of prolonged artillery bombardment. This Purifier was not an exception.
This Nomad was moving from the sun direction - i believe it was feeding in the New-York sun corona but cant say how long. It could be there for days and if it did - we shall double-check any suspicious activity in Liberty. This is none of ordinary Morphs or Labraids - this is grew-up Mindnode, and its presence indicates that Nomad are up to something. This is not coincidence - squids need their fancy Mindshare retranslated. Anyways, i will let the OSD look into matter. Im no scientist - you will need a closer analysis.
I shall warn any and all Order agents to be on their guard and pay attention to the weird matters. Im sure this creature was not using its full telepathic potential just because it had no idea there could be some people in the area trained to resist.
Surveillance footage is currently being analyzed and processed.
'Falcon', Acknowledged. Increase your activity in the region of New Hampshire, that is the main reason
for the war in the first place, and any sizeable Liberty thrusts will be directed there.
Lexi Maddox, we have recieved your report. Direct your efforts in the direction of the Hudson-Bering
corridor. The Liberty Navy is moving, and we need to find out how and where.
It was long time ago me reported on this channel, but after the events just going on in Minor me had no other choice. Me heard many times dat we maybe not maintain a good friendship with da 'sairs but this not means we're at war with them. Today it seems this has ben changed. They came to our home, and they called us traitors. Me not knows now really if there is a war between us and them or not. But...let me tell ya, me not really care about it. If me gonna see a 'sair around mah'...our home, then da pilot gonna get only one chance to leave no less no more. If they want fight then they will get it.
They fleet was composed from large amounts of capitals. Me still not understand this whole thing, why are they doin' this? Maybe Kaz was right...they're just brainless cannibals.
Greetings,
I won't hide my disorientation on this battleship, I'm seeing doors to my left, right, left, right and all those doors are making my head go crazy. I can't explain on the nerdy level but I'm sure you'll understand me, the fact is. Do we really need to report from this ship, coz I have dizziness most of my time here?
"John takes his pill for muscle relaxation"
Where was I? Ah Yes! I was on patrol with Brian Scott, took two days of my life and also my report is delayed because I didn't had chance to dock here. We almost eat nothing and I used steroids all the, guess that will explain my anger in space. Right after I talked with doctor on this ship, damn it. I can't even get it name? Never mind... Now I'm using pills for nerve relaxation that includes my muscles.
"Several minutes of thinking and John started to file report"
This report is based on the Omicron Minor system where I was alone in patrol, I picked strong signal from Alaska hole and I head there. The steroids gave me strength and much anger, so I decided to go alone. Foolish me, I found two Navy fighters and I had no chance according to my VI but anyway took my chances. After they completely ignored me, they continued to scan and of course steal informations and readings from planet Toledo. I engaged both of them, at first several minutes I thought the victory is mine but... Everything crashed on me. Rocks, nebula and they lasers over my head. In that moment I saw Nathaniel Taylor on my scanners, that was pure luck for me... Of course he engaged to support me. Evidence of this report will be uploaded now, ending of this report will be in them.
