-Subject: Large Protien Population Found!
Priority alert.
Communications Drone India-Whiskey 1, on temporary assignment to Malta, was dispatched to investigate non-standard astronomical activity in a nearby sector. Scans of the sector revealed a massive anomaly. A Spherical explosive restrictor array. Scans of the Restrictor devices did not match anything used by known Protien populations. Drone attempted to locate a breach within the Restrictor web.
Drone sucessfully breached restrictor web and sucessfully transited a nearby Quantum Rift. The Drone emerged in an unidentified stellar system. Additional Restrictors Detected. Numerous Artificial Objects Detected. Drone engaged wave blackout and began multi-spectral scans of the sector. Several nearby vessels were scanned, indicating probable human origin. Radio transmissions in an indecipherable language were detected. Voice patterns indicated human speakers.
Ion interferance was detected. Drone was forced to enter a nearby nebula and enter safe mode. When the interferance passes, the drone is tasked with additional scans of the region.
Additional fleet assets may be made available for an expedition into this region.
Operation began with Airwatch units deploying to assist >Kiretsu< entities in Commerce Interdiction. Airwatch arrived on scene and chased away several [OPG] vessels, and assisted in inderdiction of a =CR= vessel. Unfortunately, Kiretsu protest prevented us from absorbing both vessels' crew into our own.
We began to clamp down on local trade-lanes in the sector, and interdicted several merchant vessels in the near vicinity. One Libertonian vessel was encountered with no cargo. Several other vessels were detected, both of which attempted resistance.
They stood no chance.
Soon afterward, we recived word of KNF and Hogosha engaging another Kiretsu ship which lagged behind. Airwatch redirected to engage. We initally identified One KNF, one KSP, and one Hogosha. The KNF bomber was quickly destroyed, and the KSP fled. However, with the loss of one Kiretsu bomber and a Dragon that was assisting us, and the retreat of another. Airwatch continued the attack.
Two additional KNF engaged. And the black dragon continued it's engagement, ultimately to it's own detriment. The Hogosha was destroyed. We then detected another vessel of unidentified class, which attacked the KNF as well. Airwatch intended to salvage the vessel, but we pressed our engagement on the KNF to ensure they did not intervine. At this time, additional Kiretsu and GC forces began to arrive.
We detected a few additional KNF, AFA, and Civilians in the nearby area. Ultimately, they were forced to flee or were destroyed. Our forces were ultimately superior. Inflicting disperprotionate casualties over a period of about a two and a half hour engagement.
On another note. We are to keep an eye on the Dragon sub-faction known as [Sentai-86].
After recent issues with Kiretsu wing regarding ill-begotten weapon systems, Sentai-86 attempted negotiations with Kiretsu. Airwatch security units were present. However, they proved almost totally inept at accepting the situation. They seem to be following sentiment and pride as opposed to logic.
While their sentiment is irrelevent to us, the conduct of a few of their members indicates they may attempt a violent response toward Kiretsu. IF and when they do so... we will slaughter the lot of them.
For the time being, they are classified as UNFRIENDLY. Fully deservice them, do not assist them in battle. If you are in a position to prevent their destruction, avoid it unless other friendlies are threatened. If they pose any threat to our activities, destroy them. If I so much as give the order, destroy them.
NovaPG, and all other dragon and GC factions are to be treated as normal. And NOT to be engaged if they attempt to protect Sentai-86 should they show hostility. If you must engage Sentai-86 units, and other dragons engage in response, destroy the Sentai-tagged vessels, and retreat. No collateral damage.

-Subject: After Action Report 22/3/818 A.S.
At approxomately 11:00 hours today, Airwatch recived a signal about Kirestu and NovaPG forces engaging a BHK tagged Battleship class entity. Airwatch augmentation force was dispatched.
Airwatch did not recive beacon from the Kiretsu units. The 'Kishin' and 'Keisotsu' designates had already been defeated, and the NovaPG vessel soon followed. Airwatch forces supported the remaining Kiretsu unit and began standoff bombardment of the fleeing vessel. Additional Dragon and SOB entities engaged as well.
Enemy warship bore unusual transponder codes. Apparently a Rhineland Military IFF signal and Kiretsu units reported a standard BHG ID as opposed to the GUARD ID which is usual for their capital warships. Indiffrent to this, we pressed the attack at range, where the warship's weaponry would not track.
The warship began to flee into a nearby gas nebula. It's defense screen had failed, and it was losing structural integrity fast. Despite this, it managed to dispatch one of the SOB units. This did not change it's tactical odds. Continued engagement ultimately destroyed the vessel's coolant nodes, and it's reactor began to go critical.
We attempted to recover any surviving personell, but our efforts were hampered by the disrupting effects of the cloud, and presance of the GMG. We did manage to get approximately 120 personell off of the BHK vessel. They have been interned. The command crew is unaccounted for, it is presumed they either died in the explosion or escaped into GMG custody.
This should be a textbook case of what to do in the case of large capital ships. As well as what NOT to do.
DO: Engage at standoff range with Supernova cannons or equivelent weapons
Engage with overwhelming force
Keep Tactical Fighters at range, or if in a worst case scenario, as sacrificial distraction/harassment assets
Keep enemy units seperated, and well distant from one another
Manuver erratically when at range
Maintain Communication and Co-ordination with friendlies at all times
DO NOT: Enter accurate weapon/CIWS range of enemy capital vessels
Use the same attack vector
Attack with less then 3 bombers or with an equivelent force as backup
Move Tactical Fighters anywhere near target ship's firing solution (They are to stay far distant to cover in case of enemy re-inforcement)

Uhmm hi this is Carla this is my first report. I spent some time in Okinawa with the kiretsu stopping and demanding credits from traders there... It was very slow however and after a hour or so we managed to pirate one trader by the name of Adyu vulcan. ..i think we got 250k from him..
After that we all went on a trade run to alpha bringing some cardamine back. i gave some to zio on the way back he said he wanted some..
Between all of this i managed to capture 7 rookie hogosha pilots. I really hope this pleases you Zio *Smiles*

-Subject: Operation Cataphoria
The first progressive report from our blockade of Tohoku, which will henceforth be referred to as Operation Cataphoria, is now ready. The Objectives of the operation are as follows.
1: Ensure the Exogen breach in Tohoku sector is contained and directed toward mutually hostile entities (Order, KNF, etc) 2: Ensure protection of GC and Blood Dragon shipping and assets in that sector and beyond 3: Ensure no Order activity is present in the system 4: Attempt to actively control Exogen activity 5: Prevent any AFA, Hogosha, KNF, KSP, Samura, Kishiro, or Civilian entities form sucessfully transiting the system 6: Ensure long term Consortium control of the airspace
Some sector patrols have been made recently by our own heavy combatants, although the Hoshinokatana and Darak.Ti are currently deployed in Okinawa sector. Today's patrol was conducted by Lady.Aniela, who made a point insertion and began sweeping the sector.
No exogen ships were initally detected, but a vessel identified as Viktor_Navorski was tracked down near Ryuku. Inital identification indicated a Stinger class vessel with a mercenary identification. Further inquiries indicated that the individual was working for the order and claimed to be hunting Exogens for them. Airwatch attempted to bring the individual in for questioning, but he managed to evade. He did attempt to release chemical weapons into the Exogen base's air supply system, but given the size of the arch and probable presance of safeties, it's effectiveness would likely have been negligable.
After the individual's departure, Aniela was joined by \CS\-Helkos who assisted in sector patrol, and several deep structural scans of the Exogen arch facility. These scans revealed numerous flaws and natural fissures in the asteroid, as well as mineral content and internal facilities. It is belived that the asteroid has significantly greater artifical structure inside of it, however it does not appear to possess many useful minerals. Potentially, one of the smaller asteroids orbiting nearby could be placed into a gravitational slingshot around the star and used to destroy the facility if we ever need to...
After the internal scans, Airwatch detected an anomalous civilian ship. A cruise liner identified as AgentMike.
We attempted to intercept, but Aniela was not equipped with Restrictors, and Helkos was out of range. The Liner managed to out-accellerate our interceptors and escaped. It has been tagged for later biomass collection.
Soon afterward, we detected another anomaly. A commerce interdiction farmer which appeared to be mapping the area.
By that point, Juliet.November (A disguised \CS\ Blackops unit) had arrived to assist airwatch regulars. The Commerce interdiction farmer was intercepted and coagulated. The individual proved to be compliant with our demands that it surrender and submit. \CS\-Carla was also directed to assist in recovery. As well, two Sentai-86 malcompliants were present in the area, but did not interfere with our operations.
The Farmer proved compliant. It was brought to Ainu hardpoint for interrogation and exogen-detection scanning. This was conducted aboard the \CS\-Basul.Re, under the supervision of Juliet.November. The scans revealed that the Farmer was not exogen comprimised, but physically unsuitable for augmentation.
During the process, a Kusari Police vessel identified as Jingwei approached. The individual's behavior was anomalous and indicated severe mental trauma. As the Jingwei entity was faced against full Airwatch and Kiretsu forces, it stood little chance when it finally attempted to engage. Ultimately, it destroyed itself by means of misues of nuclear weapons.
Soon afterward, we detected yet another anomaly on sensors. This time, it was none other then the Necrosis. Apparently it was either after the commerce interdiction farmer or attracted by the destruction of the KSP and large allied force presance. Bombers were deployed, and soon after, the Necrosis approached Ainu. It opened fire soon afterward, causing minor damage to the Basul.Re. During the chaos, the farmer was able to escape and fled.
Airwatch was unable to intercept, as we were attacking the Necrosis. With the assistance of Kiretsu, we quickly and easily overwhelmed the Necrosis' defensive weapons and began to inflict significant structural damage. We detected an explosion afterward, either we destroyed the vessel or it used a similar wave-black-out system to our own, and escaped.
Immedietly following this, we detected a confirmed Exogen breach in Hokkaido, apparently en-route to Tohoku. Bombers were recalled and a strike package readied for re-deployment to Tohoku. \CS\-Lady.Aniela, \CS\-Helkos, \CS\-Zio.Internicine, and Juliet.November were deployed bia Chugoku to confront the Exogen and conduct observation and attempt communications.
The Exogen responded soon. While it was not openly hostile, it displayed what could be implied as 'Eliteism' and a superiority complex. We attempted to coerce the Exogen into modifying it's behavior to specifically target mutual threats like the AFA, KNF, and Order, while ignoring \CS\ and GC assets. Initally, the exogen did not respond, ill-understanding our logic.
Ironically, two Order ships showed up at just that moment... possibly dispatched by the Viktor_Navorski entity to investigate our activities. They initally sought to attack the Exogen, but we could not let them identify us and escape. We assisted the Exogen against the two Order vessels, quickly destroying both hostiles.
The Exogen apparently got the point that AT LEAST Mutual ceasefire and hostility toward the order was a winning proposition... atleast for the time being. The Exogen returned to the arch to rest, and we recalled to Ainu hardpoint after a brief discussion.
I would hope that the operation continues this well. However, all airwatch forces are to remain on alert. As well, I want constant patrols in and around Tohoku. Keep the Exogens IN, everyone else, OUT. You are to Co-ordinate with the NovaPG as well on this and follow their instructions. Sentai-86 are to as usual be ignored unless they pose a threat.
Additional data will be transmitted as it becomes available.

-Subject: Response to Mon'Star threat
Target Mon'Star was found in Sigma 13 system. With the assistance of a single Kiretsu Bomber, the target started to flee on sight, and eventually left into the Frankfurt system.
On the way back from Sigma 13, I received a request for assistance from the NovaPG, at which point the Kiretsu Bomber requested me to follow, this target was a Corsair Gunboat, which was subsequently Destroyed by the Kiretsu pilot after he was trying to justify not being destroyed.
Last target was a request for assistance from the Darak.Ti. Target was a Corsair Cruiser, this target was already fleeing when I arrived and I was unable to stop the target before it went into the Hiroshima system, at which point I turned back.
End result: All targets either Destroyed or Fled.
And as a side note, the Darak.Ti has now positioned itself in Tohoku as part of the blockade.

Subject:Commodities request/information
First of all Carla managed to get some info on Mon'star's ship encase we have to waste our time with him again..
Now on to more important business. I need someone to get me 10each of the following commodities Nano-capacitors Bio-Neural Processors Quantum Multiplexors and Holo-tainment Bands.
The Robotizer's cargo bay is cluttered with to many different types of items. Getting these would allow me to free up alot more space.
Also my research is advancing and i need more high tech items to advance it further.I will give some financial compensation if needed depending on how much they cost. If all of you are to busy for this task please get a third party to deliver these items to the robotizer.
That is all...

-Subject: Minor Diplomatic Incedent.
Personel note. There has been a minor information leak regarding out-of-context information to the GC, and it seems that one Lady Saigo.Watanabe has overreacted slightly. She claims we are to remove ourselves from GC facilities and airspace.
This incedent has been presumably instigated either by Exogen-comprimised individuals or possibly the Order. All Airwatch forces and personel are advised to Ignore this and continue normal operations. If the GC DO show hostilities, you are NOT, repeat, NOT permitted to return fire under any circumstances. Even if that means destruction of Airwatch hardware or personell.
Airwatch forces are to relocate approxomately 50% of the units stationed on Ainu to the Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa. The remaining units will remain active in protest to re-inforce the Cataphoria blockade. If the GC query, the following responses are mandated.
1: This incedent was manufactured deliberately by the Exogens
2: The Exogens are attempting to damage GC/CS relations intentionally
3: GC attempts to evict or damage CS operations will only damage their own cause, as well as bring Kiretsu and the BLS into conflict
4: The descisions that lead to this were made irrationally, and presumably under the indirect influance of the Exogen
5: Airwatch forces will not, under any circumstances, harm GC assets. And will continue support against AFA, Hogosha, and KNF biotics
6: Exogens are now 'Seek and Destroy' status
For the time being, ANY Exogens are to be actively engaged and destroyed. Feel free to communicate with them and attempt to lure them into a trap. For now, the priority remains the Blockade of Tohoku which will continue as it has up to this point.
Report any attempts at GC malcontent toward us. But remember, NO hostility is to be made toward them.
On another note... I would like anyone capable of doing so to monitor Lady Watanabe's actions and behavior. We may be dealing with a possible Parasitic Comprimise. If this is the case... I will be forced to handle it personally.

-Subject: Response to Kusari Destroyer threat
The target, Soul Reaper, was engaged by myself in the vicinity of the Hokkiado Jump Hole in Kyushu. Carla and Watsas arrived half way into the battle to deliver a swift attack onto the vessel, consequently the target was destroyed with minimal damage to myself and the two Airwatch bombers.
I am no longer needed to Blockade the Kyushu Jump Hole in Hokkiado, so I am now returning back to my original station at Okinawa, ETA for repairs is one hour.
