This is Agent Adam Roth stationed in Meskhenet, reporting our latest engagement.
About two hours ago, we've caught the news of a rather large force travelling into Omicron Minor, so I and Director Anthony Wilson went out to check.
Wilson found that force jumping out of Omicron Minor hole and into Omicron Zeta. It consisted of five AI cruisers, a Hunter Bottlenose accompanied by three Hunter fighters. Our own initial strength was three fighters. We tried to stop that force to learn what they are up to. However, they refused to listen to us and we saw them directing their vessels towards the Nomad Worlds.
We gave chase, and I could disrupt one of the Hunter fighters before they jumped through, which forced the whole of their group to a halt. It was after then we could attempt to have a little chat, but their replies were more about our stupidity, and they made little attempts to explain their actions.
Now, we had wanted to learn why they were in Omicron Minor, disturbing that graveyard. Many of our ships rest in there alongside our late pilots, and we had to make sure they will know that we will not tolerate any tech salvaging from the wrecks. The Hunters are known for their aggressive search for tech they can find in order to use them for their ambitious gains, and seeing them jumping out from Minor and flying towards the Iota hole with a pack of AI cruisers put lots of doubts in our minds. It was obvious why they were venturing in the nomad worlds.
Here are a few samples of our recordings. The logs will be sent in full detail to the Intelligence soon enough.
Code:
AI|Legion: :: YOur curiousity is not important. All units, move on. ::
Order|Anthony.Wilson: It is.
AI|Di'taraAlpha: :: "Order, we have no issues here"::
Order|Anthony.Wilson: And you will have to tolerate with it, since you're in our space.
(...)
AI|Di'taraAlpha: :: "It is for humanity. we are going to hunt nomads :: :: do not make a scene"
Order|Adam.Roth: AI. You can leave.
WHB|Aleister.Corke: AIs, I suggest you cut your chatter. Order are just loudmouths, their acts of terrorism prove it
Order|Adam.Roth: Don't friggin' stop me from shooting these bastards though.
AI|Legion: :: The brigadiers will be our company. THis is nothing to negotiate ::
(...)
WHB|Aleister.Corke: How about we get to the main topic shall we? What is it you want?
Order|Adam.Roth: You friggin' jokers. You enter into our minor... disturb our lost... and then wish to fly around all merrily in our front yard?
AutomaticDeath: ::We wish to cleanse your yard so that you may thoroughly enjoy it::
WHB|Aleister.Corke: Well, if you wish to say that... I lost friends in Minor and sometimes I like to pay respects
AI|Di'taraAlpha: "Order you are interrupting a peacekeeping force"
WHB|Aleister.Corke: But I guess terrorists don't care about that, do they?
Order|Adam.Roth: You've caused that whole loss.
(...)
Order|Adam.Roth: AI. I don't even care about you. I am not even talking to you. Stop bothering my speech.
WHB|Claw: Stanton: We do not wish to fight you this time, Order, we are trying to attack the Nomads
AI|Legion: :: But we are caring about the brigadiers. Don't make yourself more enemies. ::
AI|Di'taraAlpha: :: "You Disrupted a friend of the consensus [Command] We are talking to you Order"
Order|Adam.Roth: Are you friggin' serious?
WHB|Aleister.Corke: Stanton, carefull at the leak of intel
Order|Adam.Roth: You know. I will shoot these Hunters now. You better stay out.
AI|Legion: :: We will defend them. ::
Order|Adam.Roth: If you will defend them, you'll show your colors. We have no problems with taking you on.
WHB|Aleister.Corke: AI, there's no need. You can continue your operation
(...)
AutomaticDeath: ::This is about Nomads and only Nomads, that is the motivation behind our journey::
Order|Adam.Roth: You chose the wrong friends to make this journey with.
AI|Legion: :: Toledo is only the evidence of what happens when you do not get your problems sorted ad unite against an enemy ::
WHB|Aleister.Corke: Even lovely how you mix the Brigade in the same bowl as the main fleet
AI|Di'taraAlpha: ::Toledo is the consequence of breaking the Precept. You destroyed unity::
Order|Adam.Roth: We have fought your Brigade many times.
Order|Adam.Roth: And the reasons are clear. You are here to take that nomad tech we don't want you to take.
Order|Adam.Roth: Agents. Are you ready to purge these hunters?
Order|Anthony.Wilson: Yeap.
Order|Adam.Roth: Chase them off.
And soon the engagement started with me giving the warning shot on one of the Hunters' shields. Though the AI did what they said they would, it only took a few minutes for their whole fleet to engage us.
Initially we had three fighters with us, and we couldn't do much until the reinforcements could reach to the battlefield. The answer was good, we congratulate our pilots.
Here's a list of what took part in it:

With the reinforcements reaching the field, we finally started to make some damage on their armor and took two of their cruisers down. Though it took some time and we lost a few of our ships along the way before we could bring out a proper force. The remaining AI made a run for it, while we focused on the Hunters and destroyed or forced off whatever they had.
In the end though, it looks like we have a few toaster enemies. They've made their sides known, and I hope that the Overwatch will either make sure this never happens again, or they will get them toasted back.
I sure sign up for the invasion of Kappa. Put me on the frontest of lines. Agent Adam Roth, signing off.
