For once, fate seems to favour us. I'll elaborate.

Routine patrols of border world Cortez and Coronado were initially delayed due to errors with propulsion and cloaking. Ended up spending a few days on Birmingham while the techs worked to resolve the issues without drawing too much attention to ourselves. Ended up being the drive coupler not engaging properly, causing a system error when it got hot. Turns out unplugging something then plugging it back in does work.

Patrol logging engaged at Kingston, as we exited Manchester.

Manchester gate clear after initial scans after jumping into Cortez. Initiated docking sequence with lane to Curacao. All clear. Scanners did pick up a Liberty Navy patrol flying 8k from the planet, hailed but no response.

Moved to Coronado gate via the lane and jumped through. This is where things started getting interesting.

As soon as we jumped through the sniffer started going off, heavy concentration of radiation, not weapons grade mind you, something like a reactor coolant leak.

Initially we were unsure where these traces were coming from, took us a while to pinpoint any direction of travel. The sniffer was giving us no hints, heavy traffic in the area must have been spreading whatever we were detecting over a large area. Moved to Barrier, still nothing.

Monitoring traffic gave us no hints to whatever the source was, but given we were intrigued, we decided to search around Yuma, maybe the shipyard was having issues and would appreciate assistance in some small way.

Given that officially we weren't meant to be there, we engaged cloaking just outside of their sensor range then moved in on impulse. Once we were within 20k of Sabah Shipyard we could visibly see a vessel berthed in the far drydock was leaking into vacuum. Bloody sniffer was going off the charts. We were getting some real funny readings off of whatever this thing was so of course we moved ever closer.

The vessel only turned out to be a bloody Order Osiris battleship sat right there. Two jumps from Manchester. Incredible.

Clearest shot we could get with the scopes.

Tried to get scans on the vessel, but due to the radiation and our own cloak interfering, we couldn't get anything meaningful. Wide-band was far clearer but couldn't get any information other than the vessel's IFF, and name. Turns out it's the Battleship Atum.

Leaks clearly visible on wide-band.

Wide-band is still extremely unclear, but it does hold the IFF information. Not a lot we can go on from this alone, I would suggest getting one of the more overt units to pay a visit. Maybe give the Crayter lot a heads up since we'll be on their turf. Maybe even get them to open a channel of communication with the Order, since all of our attempts have been fruitless so far.

We'll continue to monitor the area until more units can arrive. Just don't over do the response, we want relations, not another sodding war.

Jones out.

Intelligence Report

Captain/Pilot Name - S. Lewis

Vessel Name - Raider Traquair

Subject - URGENT - Assistance Required

Transmission -

Stonepaper. STONEPAPER.

This is Lewis on the Traquair, we're currently in Tau-44. We need immediate assistance from Red Brick.

Reacting to intelligence we've captured something, this could be huge. Power readings from this device were off the charts. Need to get it out and away to safety as soon as we can. This requires immediate action.

Following intercepted communications about a derelict Zoner vessel in the Burgundy system, our closest asset was deployed to investigate these claims.

At around 1505 the CV Traquair, a commerce raider, slipped her moorings at Oban Station, Tau 31. Her Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing IFF was replaced with a generic freelancer one, to further her chances of slipping through the contested space of Tau 23 without harassment, which she did successfully.

Upon entry to Tau 44, a wing of remnant Royalist Naval forces set upon her, thankfully a Crayter wing was not far behind them. With the aid of the Crayterians, Traquair was able to continue her journey to the Burgundy jump hole, which was found to be in an unstable state, but perfectly navigable for a ship of her size.

Following the sensor blindness that occurs after such a jump, scanners returned to normal, with no other ships on scopes.

The intelligence suggested the derelict vessel would be around the large, red, gas giant in the system. Initial scans did not indicate that this was the case. Unfortunately the Traquair’s sensor suite is more suited to cargo scanning than the ship's surroundings. However, due to the search pattern that was adopted, the derelict appeared at maximum range after a few long minutes of searching.

Initial scans of the vessel, by Lt P. Sims, suggested the reactor was giving off immense power signatures that fluctuated. The engineering officer aboard, Lt A. Thomas, was further able to scan the vessel once distance had closed to within 10k. This further data suggested that the power fluctuations were instead coming from a device in the cargo holding of what turned out to be a Serenity class vessel by the name Chaos Theory.

The images filling the viewscreens initially looked as though the vessel was in a good condition, however as the Traquair crept ever closer it was apparent that the gravitational forces exerted on the hull had done a number on it. This was not going to be a simple job, hampered further by the realisation the ship’s grapples, used to attach tethers, were inoperable since the earlier engagement.

With time ebbing away and the Chaos Theory slipping further into the gas giant’s atmosphere, it was decided that the best course of action was to use a single shot from Tranquair’s guns to persuade the cargo bay doors to open. After an initial failed attempt, Traquair moved ever closer, this time able to land a shot on the already buckled cargo door. Unfortunately this caused the still pressurised hull to vent the gasses aboard, plunging the vessel further into the planet.

This did not dissuade Cpt S. Lewis, who dove the Traquair through the ever increasing storm to follow the stricken derelict. With a stroke of good favour, the binds lashing the power device to the derelict gave in to the gravitation forces, enabling a tractor beam to be engaged and pull the device into the Traquair.

With their mission complete, the Traquair returned to friendlier space to carry out minor repairs following her brush with death.

Please find my report above.

We have secured the device as best we can, but we're not sure we can shield the emissions from being detected.

We will await assistance in the usual coordinates.

Lewis out.

Spitfire. SPITFIRE.

This is Lewis, again, on the Traquair. I can confirm that Red Brick has completed transport and should have arrived home by now.

From what few readings we could derive from the device, we'd say it's some sort of power supply. We're no experts though, definitely going to need the boffins on this one.

Whatever we got, it's going to be big. It has to be.

Clawing it back from Gallia's grasp feels good. Still doesn't feel real that this operation went so well with only a few small hiccups.

We're heading back out on patrol tonight, currently on the freeport.

Lewis out.
