comm id: Dean Jackson, captain of the recon cruiser Valley of Kings
message begins:
Today we left for a sirius wide recon. we started by entering the Iota system. from there we headed to Omicron 99. In Omicron 99 we stumbled upon a nomad patrol consisting of a Marduk, 2 Gunboats and several small craft.
The Valley isn`t made for fullfrontal combat so we quickly nailed the 2 gunboats and left the scene. we have 2 minor brains in storage now.
we then proceeded to Omicron 90. after a full round of the system we jumped to Omicron Alpha, as a very grumpy Marduk was blocking our way back into 99. In Alpha we activated our jamming signals and flew 20k above the plane to reach the TAU 37 hole. luckily, scans indicated but 1 ship in the system, and it was destroyed by an unknown vessel 3 minutes after we had entered Alpha. we reached the 37 hole with no problems and jumped.
In TAU 37 I had the ship dock on freeport 10 for some minor repairs. that Marduk had laid some hurting on us.
we proceeded on to TAU 23 and Orkney. nothing special there. then we entered Lewis, where some Gaian weaponplatforms greeted us. to no avail. their missles couldn`t track our engines due to the jamming we broadcasted.
we jumped to Edinbourgh and Dublin. we proceeded into Chester from dublin.
in chester, we moved all the way up to grid B2, from where strange signals were detected.
we found the nomad anomaly floating there, already known in our records, I believe. we took some footage of it. it still remains dormant. no ships, no turrets, nothing. only that weird enery pit of sorts.
here is the footage our remote probes made:
We had just retracted all satelites and probes when an unknown ship started talking over open comms.
obviously, we held quiet and it left. from Chester we left for Omega 49 to land on Planet Gran Canaria. that is our current location. we will continue our recon mission later this week. I intend to gather intel on the Wilde. see what they are up to lately.
our route so far on the starmap:
I`ll check in later on with updates. if I don`t check in later... well... I suggest High Command starts contruction on another Reseph.
