Executor, Commanders,

As promised, a report on my meeting with Michael Raver's vessel "Watanagashi" in Omicron Lost:

I have arrived aboard DTR-Underminer, escorted by DTR-Atterador and DTR-Miguel. Watanagashi Was already at the RDV point waiting, and things went very smoothly.
A piece of homebrew hardware has been transferred aboard DTR-Underminer. It's said to be a simple "Plug & Play" device that'll help our sorting machinery find the artifact.

As for the artifact itself, it appears to have ancient origin. Something to do with the Dom'Kavash, predecessors to the Nomads. I will quote my ship's audio logs:

Quote:[22.11.2021 18:31:56] DTR-Underminer: Omer: So tell me, what is this special artifact he's looking for?
[22.11.2021 18:32:24] Watanagashi: Now, I am going to drop a... homebrew hardware, where you will find all the specifications of this old Dom'Kavash alien piece.
[22.11.2021 18:32:51] DTR-Underminer: Omer: Dom'Kavash huh? I think I heard this one somewhere
[22.11.2021 18:33:23] Watanagashi: All nomad tech is based on their precursors technology, is it not?
[22.11.2021 18:33:40] Watanagashi: They are basically created by them.
[22.11.2021 18:34:21] DTR-Underminer: Omer: I know lots of our tech is based on old Nomad tech
[22.11.2021 18:34:29] DTR-Underminer: Omer: Are they some kind of predecessor?
[22.11.2021 18:35:12] Watanagashi: Oh, well. Thought knowledge about Nomad race is pretty common amongst those who constatly deal with their artifacts.
[22.11.2021 18:35:32] Watanagashi: Them all, as well as nomads themselves - are remnants of an ancient long-gone race.
[22.11.2021 18:35:42] Watanagashi: You guys got the jump tech from Dom'Kavash as well.
[22.11.2021 18:35:53] DTR-Underminer: Omer: We mostly sell them off, not digging into them too much
[22.11.2021 18:36:05] DTR-Underminer: Omer: Those things are voilatile
[22.11.2021 18:36:42] Watanagashi: We are not sure if the artifact is active or not, so it might be. One of the reasons we are seeking professionals' help.
[22.11.2021 18:37:15] Watanagashi: We don't know the energy signature, so no way to speed the digging up. But your group is the safest bet for now.
[22.11.2021 18:37:26] DTR-Underminer: Omer: Then we'll need to have a scientist on board with this task
[22.11.2021 18:38:00] Watanagashi: We have some independent staff that can be transfered to your HQ.
[22.11.2021 18:38:08] Watanagashi: They are present onboard this vessel right now.
[22.11.2021 18:38:11] DTR-Underminer: Omer: This homebrew software you provided, is it safe? Can I just plug it in our gear?
[22.11.2021 18:38:34] Watanagashi: Yes, it has an adapter. Hardware is safe.
[22.11.2021 18:39:04] Watanagashi: I am ordering my science crew for a transfer right now.
[22.11.2021 18:39:13] DTR-Underminer: Omer: Roger that
[22.11.2021 18:39:39] DTR-Underminer: Omer: Transfer successful
[22.11.2021 18:39:51] DTR-Underminer: Omer: Scientists are all in one piece

As heard in the conversation above, we've received a team of scientists dedicated for the task. Watanagashi appears to be very resourceful.

Along with the scientists, Watanagashi appeared to carry a large variety of crew members and equipment. Those could come in handy in our future operations. I will attach the rest of the audio log:

Quote:[22.11.2021 18:40:00] Watanagashi: I believe we are done here, if you are not looking for something else.
[22.11.2021 18:40:22] DTR-Underminer: Omer: I have noticed that you have a large variety of items aboard
[22.11.2021 18:40:39] DTR-Underminer: Omer: Lots of different crew members, and even marines
[22.11.2021 18:40:56] DTR-Underminer: Omer: What is this vessel's purpose?
[22.11.2021 18:41:34] Watanagashi: You can call this transport a special operative unit. It is versatile and can be used in any occuring worst-case scenario.
[22.11.2021 18:41:53] Watanagashi: The only "but" is it's size.
[22.11.2021 18:41:58] Watanagashi: Pretty much one-time usage.
[22.11.2021 18:42:28] DTR-Underminer: Omer: So, say we ever need a little "fixup" for a certain "situation"
[22.11.2021 18:42:35] DTR-Underminer: Omer: Can we call you up?
[22.11.2021 18:42:54] Watanagashi: I believe it is arrangable.
[22.11.2021 18:43:13] Watanagashi: You do a great service with searching for this artifact of ours, we are glad to repay.
[22.11.2021 18:43:29] DTR-Underminer: Omer: Good, we will be in touch soon I believe for further "assignments"
[22.11.2021 18:43:45] Watanagashi: Have a safe flight.
[22.11.2021 18:44:02] DTR-Underminer: Omer: Thank you. Safe travels, Watanagashi
[22.11.2021 18:44:22] DTR-Aterrador: ?: Powering up engines

I will forward the custom hardware and science team to our mining facility; we'll organize an artifact research lab from whatever equipment we have available ASAP.
I recommend that we get in touch with Michael Raver regarding an arrangement for our upcoming projects. Our future seems bright.

DTR - Today, Tomorrow, Forever! Ravenna Vult!

Regards,
Overseer Omer Lazar
