"I almost forgot how cold it is on Toledo. Well, I'm getting a little shooting range and trigger time down here, but I'm sending my debrief across a secure channel on how and what we did out in the Omegas. Letting the scientists at Chillmark have a look at the artifact, and letting them copy the intelligence I was given by the Zoners. Here it goes, uploading the report now."
------------------------
At 2300 hours, I, Jester was contacted by Zoners allies, Marvin and an unknown pilot of the 'Viaticum' gunboat. Admiral Marvin insisted on a planned excursion into Omega-58 to collect a Nomad artifact that is being used to complete construction of a Nomad Gate. Marvin had prepared a specialized Exo-Skeleton suit to compensate for the gravity this artifact caused while active. After taking a standard loadout of a pulse rifle, pulse pistol, and a small assortment of grenades, I agreed to help them disable the Wild's construction.
We linked up in Omicron Delta on Freeport 11, where I was shuttled privately onto the Pendulum and taken into the Omega systems, unknown to anyone else. We remained undetected by any faction's forces on the entry voyage into Wild systems. The Pendulum's Admiral, Marvin, initiated combat once we neared the gate, after light fighting. I equipped the exo-skeleton provided and the airlock was opened. The gravity well from the artifact reeled me in and I boarded the enemy vessel. After several confirmed kills, I managed to break the device powering the artifact, steal it, and make way back to the Pendulum.
The gravity field was disabled and thus I could return easily. Once on board we made way back to Omicron Delta, and had my ship quietly loaded onto the Pendulum's docking bay. From there we loaded the artifact, and Marvin himself gave me a few samples of data collected from the Wild during the fight. Compounding on that, he offered an intelligence debrief recovered from the recently discovered Gallic systems, and wished we had a look at it. Without incident, I was launched from the Pendulum's bay and made my way back to Omicron Minor, and landed on Toledo to await the proper Primary Fleet authority to take the artifact and intelligence.
End report.
My honest reaction upon reading the forums, whenever I rarely do. Joe Kucan, he's the man.
