Omicron Delta combat incident
Hello again.
At approximately 19:45 SMT, I responded to a combat alert message. I launched immediately and connected to Order|Psychic and a secondary fleet Osiris; OCV-Nil'pesetra. Once I reached their position, I was greeted by the sight of the Charente. Following Psychic's orders, I joined in the attack against the infected ship. Probably about 6 nova torpedoes later, a Nepthys approached us, Callsign "Blasphemy". I thought that maybe we were getting some help from a secondary fleet pilot, but Psychic was quick to point out that the ship was definitely not using standard equipment. If the alien weaponry wasn't a clear enough sign that the pilot was infected, the fact that he tried to defend the Charente was overtly clear. With the firepower of OCV-Nil'pesetra, a few dozen of my Nova torpedoes and Psychic stopping Blasphemy from spacing me, the Charente and Blasphemy were critically damaged and limped off, presumably to repair or.. regrow.
While the nature of the Charente was already known, this hostile Nepthys, 'Blasphemy' was new to me. I do not know if the pilot was one of ours or maybe the ship was captured, but it was clearly hostile. My first thought would be alien infection, but I'll let the actual classification be decided by the higher ups.
