This is Ensign Cosmo Christensen, and for my first report as a member of the Order Primary Fleet I will be detailing an encounter earlier today that myself and Ensign Desmond Bishop had in Rheinland space with three vessels outside Planet New Berlin.
At 20:12, Ensign Bishop received a distress call from an Orbital Spa & Cruise ship piloted by captain Jonathan Seabourne. Upon arrival at Planet New Berlin, Ensign Bishop and I came to find two ships with Orbital Spa & Cruise IFFs (OS&C|Jonathan Seabourne and OS&C|TE-Cloud-9), however the third vessel, Luxury.Liner.Martinique was appearing as unknown and hostile. There was worry of infestation among the passengers of the Martinique, which was all but confirmed by a scan showing alien artifacts on board. With the infection rate rapidly increasing, Ensign Bishop, myself, and the two OS&C vessels decided to open fire on the Martinique with intentions of destroying it, despite captain Nellen's pleas. The risk of an infested ship of 1000 passengers coming into contact with a major population such as Planet New Berlin's and wreaking havoc was too great. As we were firing our weapons on the Martinique it went straight for the planet, resulting in its destruction. The ship's passenger pods were too far into the atmosphere to safely destroy via gun, but still blew up in the atmosphere as was overseen by Seabourne and Cloud-9.
Direct distress call to Ensign Desmond Bishop:
[21.05.2020 20:12:53] OS&C|Jonathan.Seabourne: Order vessel, this is Jonathan Sebourne of OS&C. We have a situation that might use your expertise near New Berlin
[21.05.2020 20:13:46] Order|Desmond.Bishop: Heading to that location, stand by
[21.05.2020 20:14:01] OS&C|Jonathan.Seabourne: We have possible infestation of one of our vessels, I'd like an expert's opinion before we try to land it
[21.05.2020 20:15:04] Order|Desmond.Bishop: Keep the vessel in atmosphere and away from other vessels until we arrive Approaching the infected vessel
[21.05.2020 20:15:13] OS&C|TE-Cloud-9: Sam: we detect some in you Cargo bay do you noticed any strange behaviour under you Passengers
[21.05.2020 20:15:31] Luxury.Liner.Martinique: Nellen: Aside from the ones that need medical evals, no.
[21.05.2020 20:15:32] OS&C|TE-Cloud-9: Sam: Order on the Scanners
[21.05.2020 20:15:53] OS&C|Jonathan.Seabourne: I reached out for their advice, they'd know the symptoms of an infestation better than anyone
[21.05.2020 20:15:56] OS&C|TE-Cloud-9: Sam: No glowing Eyes or things like that ?
[21.05.2020 20:16:05] Order|Desmond.Bishop: This luxury liner is the vessel in question correct?
[21.05.2020 20:16:10] Luxury.Liner.Martinique: Nellen: Negative. Just vomiting and headaches.
[21.05.2020 20:16:16] OS&C|Jonathan.Seabourne: That is correct, thank you for coming so quickly
[21.05.2020 20:16:28] Order|Desmond.Bishop: Performing scan
[21.05.2020 20:16:37] OS&C|Jonathan.Seabourne: The unioners holding it hostage left a few hours ago, but the ship looks very off to us
[21.05.2020 20:16:45] OS&C|Jonathan.Seabourne: The bastards did something to it
[21.05.2020 20:16:52] OS&C|TE-Cloud-9: Sam: hmm Order ships is there any Test we can make to be sure
[21.05.2020 20:16:52] Luxury.Liner.Martinique: Nellen: *echoed* Right..
[21.05.2020 20:17:00] OS&C|Jonathan.Seabourne: trying to figure out if its safe to land on New Berlin to sort things out
[21.05.2020 20:17:06] Luxury.Liner.Martinique: Nellen: Sir, Pennywise hasn't found anything yet, but they're still searching.
[21.05.2020 20:17:36] OS&C|Jonathan.Seabourne: I advise you find whatever it is that's triggering the scanners
[21.05.2020 20:17:40] Luxury.Liner.Martinique: Nellen: We have a lot of remaining passengers, sir. might take a while. Pennywise and his men are capable, but understaffed.
[21.05.2020 20:17:50] OS&C|TE-Cloud-9: Sam: tell them to search in the Starboard Engine Compartment cant tell where exact but somewhere there it should be
[21.05.2020 20:18:09] Order|Desmond.Bishop: A alien infestation is nearly impossible to identify, it evolved to be that such way
[21.05.2020 20:18:09] Luxury.Liner.Martinique: Nellen: Acknowledged.
[21.05.2020 20:18:49] Order|Desmond.Bishop: That being said...based on personal experience, landing this vessel anywhere near a population would be very foolish
[21.05.2020 20:18:49] OS&C|TE-Cloud-9: Sam: there are over 1000 Souls on this ship there must be a way to Know
[21.05.2020 20:19:18] OS&C|TE-Cloud-9: *know
[21.05.2020 20:19:20] Luxury.Liner.Martinique: Nellen: Sir, what's our ETA on evacuating the ship? The passengers are only getting worse.
[21.05.2020 20:19:21] OS&C|Jonathan.Seabourne: What does the Order advise then?
[21.05.2020 20:19:57] Luxury.Liner.Martinique: Nellen: *echoed* .. really..? Shit, you serious..?
[21.05.2020 20:20:11] OS&C|TE-Cloud-9: Sam: do you have any Facility nearby some save Place we can sort out this mess
[21.05.2020 20:20:21] Order|Cosmo.Christensen: Unfortunately, there is no way this ship lands on the Planet. More extreme measures might have to be taken here.
[21.05.2020 20:20:23] Order|Desmond.Bishop: I'm sorry if this is not the answer you want, but I can say with near certainty that this ship is infected
[21.05.2020 20:20:55] OS&C|Jonathan.Seabourne: ...and what is the proscribed course of action for such an eventuality?
[21.05.2020 20:20:56] Order|Desmond.Bishop: The extent can not be known, but all members of the crew could now be host to alien infection
[21.05.2020 20:21:08] Order|Cosmo.Christensen: Extermination of the craft
[21.05.2020 20:21:16] Luxury.Liner.Martinique: Nellen: Captain, engineering is out. The hijackers breached the ship's drive inside and sprung a leak.
[21.05.2020 20:21:21] OS&C|TE-Cloud-9: Sam: fucking Hell there must be a way you study these Fucking Aliens for so long they cant be all infected
[21.05.2020 20:21:30] Order|Desmond.Bishop: Typical procedure would be to exterminate all potential hosts to the infection
[21.05.2020 20:21:45] Luxury.Liner.Martinique: Nellen: If we're going to evacuate the ship, we need to do it now.
[21.05.2020 20:22:03] OS&C|Jonathan.Seabourne: ...we're not going to evacuate the ship
[21.05.2020 20:22:08] Luxury.Liner.Martinique: Nellen: Captain!
[21.05.2020 20:22:27] Luxury.Liner.Martinique: Nellen: I have sick people and bad air. This ship is going to kill over a thousand people if we don't evacuate now!
[21.05.2020 20:22:28] Order|Desmond.Bishop: As I said, all members of the crew could already be infected
[21.05.2020 20:22:57] Order|Desmond.Bishop: I'm sorry Captain but the safety of the people of Sirius is at risk
[21.05.2020 20:22:59] OS&C|Jonathan.Seabourne: and I agree. I don't know if you were alive for the Nomad war, but I know what these bastards can do if we let them loose
[21.05.2020 20:23:20] OS&C|Jonathan.Seabourne: You can run for it if you like, but I won't stop these Order pilots from doing their duty
[21.05.2020 20:23:20] Luxury.Liner.Martinique: Nellen: Captain, please. We have families aboard.
[21.05.2020 20:23:49] OS&C|TE-Cloud-9: Sam: Goods Forgive us Weapons Target the Marinique ready to Fire if Neccesary
[21.05.2020 20:23:58] Luxury.Liner.Martinique: Nellen: Captain!
[21.05.2020 20:24:02] Luxury.Liner.Martinique: Nellen: What are you doing?!
[21.05.2020 20:24:07] Order|Cosmo.Christensen: The lives of many more are at risk if we don't stop the spread now.
[21.05.2020 20:24:11] Order|Cosmo.Christensen: Weapons ready.
[21.05.2020 20:24:16] Luxury.Liner.Martinique: Nellen: Please..
[21.05.2020 20:24:22] OS&C|TE-Cloud-9: Sam: Order for the last time is there really no other way?
[21.05.2020 20:24:23] Luxury.Liner.Martinique: Nellen: Don't do this..
[21.05.2020 20:24:30] Order|Desmond.Bishop: I'm sorry sir, but there is no other way
[21.05.2020 20:24:52] Luxury.Liner.Martinique: Nellen: *muffled* .. agh..!
[21.05.2020 20:24:59] OS&C|TE-Cloud-9: Sam: fuck Weapons Open FIRE
[21.05.2020 20:25:02] Luxury.Liner.Martinique: Nellen: *echoed-distant* No!!!
[21.05.2020 20:25:11] Order|Desmond.Bishop: Firing weapons!
[21.05.2020 20:25:15] Luxury.Liner.Martinique: Hond: For the C=Kanzler! [21.05.2020 20:25:34] Death: Luxury.Liner.Martinique suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[21.05.2020 20:25:48] OS&C|Jonathan.Seabourne: damn
[21.05.2020 20:25:54] Order|Cosmo.Christensen: Destroy those pods.
[21.05.2020 20:26:21] Order|Cosmo.Christensen: God damn it they're too close to the planet.
[21.05.2020 20:26:46] Green.Duck: Order Agents. Don't see that every day.
[21.05.2020 20:27:00] Order|Desmond.Bishop: Excuse the insensitivity but the passengers will burn up in atmosphere
[21.05.2020 20:27:12] OS&C|Jonathan.Seabourne: can we assume that atmo will... sterilize the infection?
[21.05.2020 20:27:17] OS&C|TE-Cloud-9: Sam: Sensors Confirm they Burn out in the Atmosphere but we shoul Inform Rheinland Officials
[21.05.2020 20:27:30] Order|Cosmo.Christensen: Rheinland Officials don't exactly tolerate us.
[21.05.2020 20:27:37] Order|Cosmo.Christensen: So that can be your job.
[21.05.2020 20:27:39] OS&C|Jonathan.Seabourne: Understood, I'll take care of it
[21.05.2020 20:27:45] Order|Desmond.Bishop: Thank you gentelmen for understanding the gravity of the situation
[21.05.2020 20:27:46] OS&C|Jonathan.Seabourne: should I mention your involvement?
[21.05.2020 20:27:54] Order|Cosmo.Christensen: I was hoping we could destroy the pods now, but the atmosphere shohuld take care of it.
[21.05.2020 20:27:55] OS&C|TE-Cloud-9: Sam: don't worry we will do it over secure channels you were never here
[21.05.2020 20:27:59] Order|Desmond.Bishop: Infection protocol is not always an easy protocol to follow
[21.05.2020 20:28:07] Order|Cosmo.Christensen: No need to mention we were here.
[21.05.2020 20:28:17] Green.Duck: I saw nothing...
[21.05.2020 20:28:33] OS&C|Jonathan.Seabourne: Thank you, Green Duck, your discretion is appreciated
[21.05.2020 20:28:43] OS&C|TE-Cloud-9: Sam: "and if i may wander in the Valley of Death i fear no Evil" i will pray for them
[21.05.2020 20:29:07] Order|Cosmo.Christensen: Des, I think our work here is done.
[21.05.2020 20:29:22] Order|Desmond.Bishop: Affirmative, lets move
[21.05.2020 20:29:27] OS&C|Jonathan.Seabourne: Thank you both, this wasn't easy, but having a professional set of eyes helps
[21.05.2020 20:29:39] Order|Cosmo.Christensen: Stay safe.
[21.05.2020 20:29:41] OS&C|TE-Cloud-9: Sam: thank you for the Help with this mess and lets hope we don't need you anymore for things like this
[21.05.2020 20:29:42] Order|Desmond.Bishop: Good luck to you pilots, I hope you don't find yourself in this situation again
[21.05.2020 20:30:13] OS&C|Jonathan.Seabourne: Safe skies, may the rest of your patrol be less eventful
