This is Agent Onius "Asuras" Flathstaw, reporting in.
I was about to make simple patrol around Omicron Delta, and made a short view to the Omicron Kappa. Well, I wasn't lucky because on the side 4 of thus mad machines were staying, patroling or whatever their kind does. It was enough 10 seconds to identify my transponder and start shoot in my side. I've passed many things and aware of such situations, since it wasn't balanced I had only one option - run.
In Omicron Delta I was more lucky, I managed to snipe three of those green things. The last one took off my sniper gun so I had nothing to fight them with. Not sure what kind of intelligence they has, this thing understood that nor it can get me, nor I can get it and returned to their home.
Another news. Since I was retreating and had only approximated way point to the Minor hole. I have no idea what the hell was it, but I at last had a moment to scan it in the general. It was something of Nomad Base mixtured with Human technology, possible the Infested ones. But still, they had ultra defense on it and I almost died there. And unfortunately, my ship was demaged enough so I don't have the correct sector of that Nomad thing. That's all I have today. Asuras out.

Greetings, High Command.
This is Captain Lennox of the OCV-Sanity speaking. Recently in Kusari there has been a major incident. One that may occupy some secret services for quite some time from now on. That being said, let me start from the beginning. I encountered a vessel that seemed very similar to a nomad Marduk at first. However it turned out that said vessel has no relations to the K'Hara as we know them. Now this might be hard to believe at first but what I'm about to tell you is absolutely mandatory and involves the entire human population of Sirius, maybe even beyond that. So please, hear me out.
Basically what I discovered when communicating with the lifeform was that it, in some way, is overseeing our "progress" as a species. It knows about our tendencies and seemingly also our past. Note that it explained itself as the maker of all. Now I wasn't sure back then what that meant, nor did I get an answer. But I'm going to assume that it probably has to do with the nomads themselves. While distancing itself from said Nomads, stating that the K'Hara as we know them still have much to learn and evolve as well, it also mentioned a purpose in having a closed cycle of evolution. Overseen by something far greater. By something like that lifeform I'm reporting right now. It seems to me that said lifeform wants to test us in a way we've never been tested before, or never were aware of. Now I don't have to tell you what would happen if we would anger said lifeform. No matter how you put it, the energy readings can backup most of what it said. There's just no way that said entity is similar to the Nomads. They themselves pale in comparison to that one ship.
Now I do hope you think about this for a while. After all this concerns every single living human in Sirius more than anything else ever has. But not even in a bad way, perhaps. In any case, I'm sending you this message after having fled from Kusari, since even LSF decided to show up late to the "session" we had there. Thanks to my ship's cloaking device however, we managed to get out cleanly. However I do plan to get back there and get a closer look at the energy readings again. Also, here is the visual we managed to obtain.
LOCATION: PLANET AKABAT, OMICRON MU SYSTEM
PRIORITY: MEDIUM
Greetings, my friends. A few days ago I have met a very interesting person, namely Andrey Gumilev. He is a leader of group of Zoners named Pravda, and, judging from my conversations with him, this group is actively fighting the Nomads ever-increasing forces in Omicrons, as well as trying to stop Core's impudent expansion over Zoner space.
As you can see from logs, Pravda may become a good ally for us, both in military force and in economical support. I suggest establishing contacts with this Zoner group, it may become very useful for The Order. Look for attachments
[18.01.2016 12:14:32] Pravda|Andrey.Gumilev: Good afternoon, mr. Williams.
[18.01.2016 12:15:06] Pravda|Andrey.Gumilev: How may I help you?
[18.01.2016 12:15:45] Order|Andrew.Williams: How? You really want to help The Order? *smiles*
[18.01.2016 12:16:26] Order|Andrew.Williams: Well... try to prevent Nomad agression. How? By K'Hara elimination
[18.01.2016 12:16:29] Order|Andrew.Williams: It's all what I need from Zoners like you. *sadly smiles*
[18.01.2016 12:16:40] Pravda|Andrey.Gumilev: I guess we share the same goal, Mr. Williams.
[18.01.2016 12:16:46] Order|Andrew.Williams: I guess so. But who are you?
[18.01.2016 12:17:58] Pravda|Andrey.Gumilev: Our small group of Zoners is dedicated to destroying Nomad vessels and those who is identified as infested.
[18.01.2016 12:18:29] Pravda|Andrey.Gumilev: We already helped to defend New London from Nomad invasion. I guess you heard about that big rock in it's orbit?
[18.01.2016 12:18:30] Order|Andrew.Williams: Hm... why you won't joined the Order ranks then?
[18.01.2016 12:18:52] Order|Andrew.Williams: By the way, I like your goals
[18.01.2016 12:19:05] Order|Andrew.Williams: Yes, I know about that rock.
[18.01.2016 12:19:29] Pravda|Andrey.Gumilev: Because Order is... well... lacking the ability to operate efficiently in the Houses because of hostility between Order and house police forces.
[18.01.2016 12:20:22] Pravda|Andrey.Gumilev: Furthermore, while Order is concentrated on defeating Nomads in direct combat within Omicrons, we are defending Houses, Omegas and Taus.
[18.01.2016 12:20:58] Order|Andrew.Williams: Fine...
[18.01.2016 12:21:19] Pravda|Andrey.Gumilev: But we are not limited to just shooting the jellies. Our neutral position towards Houses help us to support projects aimed against Nomads or their puppets, such as Outcasts.
[18.01.2016 12:21:55] Order|Andrew.Williams: Well... what do you think about Gallia?
[18.01.2016 12:22:23] Pravda|Andrey.Gumilev: Currently, we're helping the IMG to build a rehabilitation center for those who are addicted to Cardamine.
[18.01.2016 12:23:02] Pravda|Andrey.Gumilev: Gallia..? We try to keep a neutral look with Gauls, but their aggression against everyone is absolutely intolerable.
[18.01.2016 12:23:19] Order|Andrew.Williams: Neutral looks... how pity.
[18.01.2016 12:23:32] Pravda|Andrey.Gumilev: We're acting covertly against Gallia by supplying groups such as Council.
[18.01.2016 12:23:54] Order|Andrew.Williams: Ah. I hate Gallic royalists too.
[18.01.2016 12:24:06] Order|Andrew.Williams: I thought you have neutral looks on royalists
[18.01.2016 12:24:10] Pravda|Andrey.Gumilev: We are not ready now for open combat against Gallia, that's why we try to keep neutral looks.
[18.01.2016 12:24:22] Pravda|Andrey.Gumilev: But it's only a mask.
[18.01.2016 12:25:31] Pravda|Andrey.Gumilev: Our goal is to unite as many factions as possible against those who oppose the humanity as a whole, this, as you guess, are Nomads, infested people, Outcasts and of course Gallia.
[18.01.2016 12:28:06] Order|Andrew.Williams: Well... I'll tell the Order Overwatch about... your group
[18.01.2016 12:28:41] Pravda|Andrey.Gumilev: Good. I wish we could complement The Order's operations by our own activities within Taus and Omegas.
[18.01.2016 12:29:31] Pravda|Andrey.Gumilev: By the way, I think that we shall move out of No-Fire-Zone of Freeport 11.
[18.01.2016 12:29:43] Pravda|Andrey.Gumilev: There's too many Cores around. I don't want to endanger the Freeport.
[18.01.2016 12:29:44] Order|Andrew.Williams: Yeah, let's move
[18.01.2016 12:30:06] Order|Andrew.Williams: Follow me

Subject: The battle in Lost.
Greetings to the High Command. This is my first report in The Order.
As I believe the battle in Omicron Lost was a huge success. I myself was there along with other comrades from The Order. Unfortunately I could not stay long because my ship was heavily damaged after "eating" a mine in a fight. I was saved by a friendly gunboat. I managed to retreat to Freeport 11 and have moved back to Evora today. I have assisted in several fighter takedowns and have witnessed several capital vessels going down. Here are the guncams and the logs:
Patrol started off in Zeta with starting point at Meskhenet.
While visiting Freeport 11, we noticed quite large amount of vessels there, Zoner capitals, Core and Order alike.
After stoping by, Core as usual was taunting around but with Pravda Zoner fleet, it remained only throwing words and insults around.
Shortly we received several distress calls from Order fighter patrols of multiple Nomad squadrons appearing
10, 20 kilometers from Freeport.
As we headed there to investigate, an unknown Nomad entity showed up out of nowhere gliding around us doing nothing.
Before we managed to react, we were surrounded by multiple Nomad wings, capitals and snub alike, opening fire on us from all directions.
Good thing we weren't alone as the battle was intense but eventually we managed to push them off, and destroy most of it.
Just to arrive back at FP 11 where that Nomad ship showed up again, and out of nowhere ships after ships started appearing surrounding the Freeport.
We immediately called for backup and the battle began.
Loses were heavy, but we took bigger part of Nomad capitals down, Zoner Pravda Fleet gave much needed capital support,
and we managed to pull it through.
Nomad vessels were coming in waves, just when you think it was over, another one hit us hard,
even when there was no fighting going on, terrible screams and nosies could be heard on all comms.
Although most of our crew and pilots were experienced with these sort of things, it was most unpleasant hearing such noises.
Surprisingly Core was working with us at that moment against the Nomad menace.
Meanwhile OCV Svizra battleship showed up finally and slowly we brought Nomads on their knees, or atleast they wanted us to think that, so they retreated,
and that was the end of them.
I must warn everyone that they haven't made such sudden strikes so near Freeports since the fall of the Minor as far as I remember,
and we should take these attacks with with utmost seriousness as I have strong feelling they are warning for something even bigger.
That would be all for now.

[SOURCE NAME: TALANDAR]
Attention Order; I am Viktoria. Many of you have already met me, but this message is intended as an introduction of myself to those who have yet to. The events prior to my awakening have been explained to me vaguely at best, but what I do know is this: A Nomad Guardian appeared in Delta, offering James a path of choice. He stated he would take the path of knowledge, but not give up his free will. Shortly after, he lost consciousness, and his ship initiated an emergency stasis protocol. During such, I was reactivated, and his ship is now on hard lock-down. I'm currently working on breaching the security system he designed, but I cannot guarantee success, as many steps require manual override. If any help could be provided on the access of this system, I'm calling any available computer experts to come to Meskhenet Station and assist. The sooner the better.

Day One
First day on shift as Order Overwatch, undocking from Freeport 11, Omicron Delta, I moved towards Dabadoru Station, Omicron Deltato collect a Nephthys Very Heavy Fighter which was in dry docks getting refitted with new weaponry. When I left Dabadoru Station, Omicron Delta I met up along side Agent Brian Scott who kindly took me on a tour of the Omicrons and the systems the we work in mostly. This gave me the opportunity to update my nav-map and data-banks on this sector of sirius.
Agent Brian Scott was very kind in showing me a short cut to get to Planet Akabat, Omicron Mu from Omicron Delta. The route which I was taken was via Omicron Minor and then into Omicron 92. When in system Omicron 92 my nav-map and scanners were acting up, and it was near impossible to read anything active, living, or recognized anything within thee system. Agent Scott was very helpful in explaining why this was the case, and showed me the old Nomad Liar and gave me a little story about the Liar. We kept our distance from the Liar and later, Agent Scott took me into the middle of the rocky nebula and then said he was going to test me a little bit. The test he said was to find my way back to the Omicron Minor anomoly. Once I done this he then took me towards Omicron Mu anomoly explaining this would be one of the quickest ways in and around this sector.
Once we were done in Omicron 92 we continued to make our way to Planet Akabat, Omicron Mu to finish of our tour. I was able to get some guncam images and save update my nav-map for future reference. I will be uploading this at the end from my blackbox onboard my Nephthys Very Heavy Fighter. This is all for now. Agent in training Webb out.

Day Two
Second day on the job, I rendezvous with a few fellow agents, close too Freeport 11, Omicron Delta, while making my way there I saw some shooting from one of our agents who was later shoot down by a Core pilot. I immediately moved in and tractored our agents escape pod up and moved in for the kill on the Core pilot. Managing to do so, I met up with the rest of the fleet who were a little busy with a form of boarding party. I had no clue what was going on so I made my way to Dabadoru Station, Omicron Deltato repair and refit my Nephthys Very Heavy Fighter with new weapon systems, while also dropping O'Rhu Agent Vulture of to the medical teams. This concluded my patrol for day two.
Attaching files now...
Day Three
Starting day three patrols off at Planet Akabat, Omicron Mu. I rendezvous with two of our Order agents who were on lock down of Planet Akabat, Omicron Mu mooring and docking rings, due to a smuggler who tried to steal our Kemwer Munitions, with this in mind I was acting as interceptor while flying my Sekhmet Bomber.
After some time we spotted a Liberty Navy Warship close by but it was an unusal scene for myself as they were flying a ship that I was shooting while a member of the Navy. The Gallic Royal Navy Valor Battleship. Was a very confusing sight. The name of this warship was [LN]-LNS-Normandie. Taking a few scans which I will attach later, I slowly moved for a routine patrol of Omicron Mu along side one of our Geb Carriers.
Order|CV-Eclipse and myself moved to intercept an Outcast Ranseur which was in sector charlie four. After intercepting the Outcast was trying to claim they moved here to fix the relations between us and them. Order|CV-Eclipse turned and denied access into Omicron Mu and gave them two choices to either return and not come back unless you have clearance or be fired upon. Taking the sensible choice, the Outcast Ranseur took the choice of leaving. The Outcasts ship name was by the name off 72nd|MNS-Aurora . I will attach all details of both vessels at the end. After dealing with the Outcast I returned to Planet Akabat and now awaiting further orders.

Day Four
The start of day four. Well shall I say evening, I thought id take my Sekhmet Bomber a spin. Undocking from Planet Akabat, Omicon Mu. I immediately received a secure communications with Agent of the Grenadier and Talander. They were engaged in a fight with a Freelancer Montante Gunship within Omicron 100. Outside Evora Shipyard. Upon my arrival it looked like the Talander was heavily damaged so I moved in, while activating my antimatter and unleashing the fire power of this cannon into the hull of the Montante. A few minutes later seeing the intruder explode and we took no causalities..
As the Kusanagi was deployed, under Doctor Hunter's orders, to Delta, we discussed with the ANC Warhammer much things. Mostly science, which chased away Taggart. After the good Doctor decided to go to the Freeport to talk with Nixie of the Warhammer, Core engaged us. Kusanagi is heavily damaged and undergoing extensive repairs...so the Doctor is upset. Mostly because her dinner date was ruined.
Oh and the Buro, the Bee Dee Em gaijins, stopped by. Not a fan, though she seemed nice. Apparently she wasn't.
I'll be submitting the discussion with Warhammer to Project STORM COVE archives.
Ikari, out.
