RECIPIENT: Commandant Alisa Tereshkova FROM: Lieutenant Maia SUBJECT: New Assignment - report no. 3 PRIORITY: Low ENCRYPTION: High
Greetings Commandant,
I followed your instructions and got my new cloaking device installled. I'm little surprised how big it is on my Onuris, and it required additional modifications to firmly secure it to the ship. I'll properly test it before next flight.
However, I'm about little concerned about sacrificing countermeasure launcher, which could make my future disengagements much more difficult. Sadly, technicians were unable to attach countermeasure launcher instead of a mine launcher which I never used.
As with my recon duties, I detected one nomad-human hybrid gunboat in the Inverness system. It tried to lure me into combat unsuccessfully, but even as I got closer, I wasn't able to properly identify callsign of such vessel. I captured its footage with all relevant sensor data for analysis.
I will update this report as soon as I find and record another nomad contacts.
REPORT UPDATE
During my next sorties I haven't met any larger enemy vessels or lifeforms. I was chased again by "Boogeyman" and later by rheinland Wraith-class very heavy fighter with callsign "Justiz". I properly field tested newly issued cloaking device and helped me to shake-off hostile fighter from my six. However, it also confirmed my fears and I miss my countermeasure launcher dearly as I'm now much easier target for enemy missiles.
As I was returning to the battleship Atum from my patrol from nearby systems, I stumbled upon group of battlecruisers with Bretonian markings. I don't know how they are relevant to our mission in Drake system, but given their proximity to our operations and our allies, I include their footage in my report.
Conclusion - Heaviest enemy tactical asset I spotted today was hybrid gunboat in Inverness system. My pursuers in the Drake system were very heavy fighters at maximum and even battleship OCV-Ra from secondary fleet wasn't able to provoke enemy heavier units to action.
