»CASE: Final Journey - A/)- The Inner Phalanx - 12-30-2021 Situation: Final Journey Authorised personnel: Technocratic Directorate, Allen Coates, Gary Schultz, Adularescene, Spinel. OBJECTIVES: - Bioanalysis of the Sentinels. - Counter-strategy and technology against Sentinel hostilities. - Containment Drone development. - Preserve subject 'Ridge' (Vincent Abrams) - Overwatch the Triage Anomaly. - Prevent the Order from provoking a major reaction from the Sentinels. HAZARDS: - Mnestic Scent / Mnemonic Tracking | Memetic Hazards - Environmental Threat - Dark Matter Storm, Radiation, Hyperspatial Compression - Physical Threat - Hostile Lifeforms - Anterograde Amnesia Threat - Spacetime Spatial Displacement - Cybernetic Symbiote Disturbance LIMITATIONS & RESTRICTIONS:
REQUIREMENTS & REMEDIES: All personnel assigned to this task must receive the bio-organic “Voidstead” upgrade package to their neural amenability graft in order to withstand any anomalous hypercompression incursions through the Triage. Personnel must pass all medical evaluations, undergo expeditionary physical alteration procedures, and must complete a Level 2 Psionic Theory training course. Regular physiological and psychological checks are required every twenty four hours. Cognitive refresh and resolve is recommended every twenty-four hours to prevent mental atrophy. Amnestic solutions are available if individuals are compromised. If essential data is held, individuals must compile the data to the Uplink and as a last resort, attempt to seek temporary refuge at the Shrine - through site XB-GW-KNS-01. PRIMARY DOSSIERS: ** - Speculation * - Needs citation ::CLASSIFIED DOCUMENT: DIRECTORATE ONLY::

Frequently seen at the Shrine and the Omicrons Age: **Physical Husk estimated constructed 813(?) A.S. with agreements between Gladius and Division Nine - Spiritual manifestation unknown. No former documentation on ascended form change. Data retrieved informally from ex-Legion Commander and ex-Gladius individuals, Gender: Male Allegiance: No Tribe?* - Nomad. Occupation: *Elder. Known Aliases: Harbinger - (Common alias), The Schemer (Mainshare Tribe), Barry (Revenant/Vincent codeword), Godfather (inform. Technocrat) Likes: DK Artifacts*. Nostalgia*. Mind Games. Dislikes: Robots. Cybernetics. Known Traits: psychological manipulator. Idiocentric. Confidential. Known relations: Nomads - Indifferent*. Vagrants - Indifferent*. Known associates: Emissary (deceased?**), Revenant (informer) Notes: What little limited data we have on this individual, pieced together by merges of old Legionnaire information exchanges, and foretelling of Vagrant associates regarding him still fails to illuminate upon one of the most enigmatic life forms recorded. What is known is the cautiousness both of the Nomad tribes hold regarding him, denoting that he is the bringer of uncertainty and trouble. This perspective held against him is likely speculated due to the fact that he is entirely disconnected from either mindshare. What is known is that Harbinger is a primary actor within these incidents, that according to Revenant, he is interested in seeing what the “failures the Daam Kavash have locked away. “ All data received upon the subject had stemmed from Revenant, including the know-hows of the Shrine acting as a sanctuary, as well as the mnestic scent the Sentinels operate upon. As to how Harbinger is aware of these organisms remains purely within speculation. It is theorised that all Kavash sites may hold a psychic imprint for the Nomads to read, a method known as Psychometry. It is unknown if Harbinger is impervious to the mnemonic tracking effects of the Sentinels. No incidents were recorded of Harbinger and the Sentinels interacting. It may be possible that he is involved in some capacity. Further attempted interrogations on Revenant failed to enlighten further information, declining to share more intel under the premise of “I don't wish to betray or be rude to those who have kept to their word - don’t push your or my luck.“ Subject may have been psychologically compromised, as it was mentioned that Harbinger made an arrangement with Revenant, in order to cure them of their affliction that she must embark upon the Final Journey and oversee Vincent. Further motives regarding the deal remain unknown, including Revenant’s. Currently, there are no confirmed weaknesses discovered against Harbinger. However, his offensive capabilities remain largely unknown - it is speculated that his capabilities are primarily through psychic manipulation of matter and mind, though he has been witnessed summoning other Nomad forms to assist him. Other abilities he has been rumored to utilize: Telekinesis, Materialization, Clairvoyance*, Telepathy, Psychometry, *Astral Projection, Form Entropy

Xenos. ), The Real Schemer (Vincent), The Key (Harbinger) Known Traits: Paranoid, distrusting, **possible borderline personality disorder, impulsive, Known relations: Xeno Alliance - friendly. Known associates: [Cobra - "Damien Morreti" - Friend], [Tick - Autonomous Assistant], [Commodore William Storgen - Friend], [Ridgenose - "Locke" - Friend], [ S. Raven - "Revenant" - Friend] Known vessels: Dagger, Marauder (decommissioned), Rebel (current vessel), Odin MK.1 (stored), Thor MK.1 (stored) Notes: Vincent Abrams is an ordinary introverted Bretonian Male with no outstanding qualities, beyond an unusual anomaly surrounding himself and the Triage. It is unknown whether Vincent had come into contact with a Kavash artifact, or if the sample from the Dyson Sphere had any effect on his biology, or that an inert genetic code was left within his DNA structure. Vincent is known for his attempted efforts of social engineering with major parties he encounters in effort for material gain or favours, self proclaiming himself as “the true schemer. “ - It is notable that mental cohesion and stability rapidly declined since the Order’s Section Eight’s involvement in the scenario regarding the Triage. Due to his declining mental state, Vincent may occasionally lash out at individuals if pushed too far. Likewise, if presented with an overly stressful scenario or pressured, he may attempt to run away. A notable quirk of his declining state of health is that he had contracted lung cancer from overexposure of radioactive elements during incursions into the anomaly, alongside daily exposure from his laboratory work. Willingly, or unwillingly, Vincent has deemed himself necessary to collaborate with the Order. Located: Kepler, Charlie-3. Hazards: Radiation, Unstable Gravitational Well, Hyperspatial Displacement Links to: Tau-117 remnants*, Alberta*, Dark Matter Storm Notes:
Dubbed the ‘Triage’ due to its formation of three unstable Baxter anomalies, the object came to be during the arrival of the Dark Matter storm. It is uncertain as to why or how the formation came to be, but it is speculated that the hypercharged dark matter produced by experiments undergone in Alberta may have linked the anomaly to the original point of experimentation, creating a hyperspatial ‘sink hole’ within the sector. Within the Anomaly, an erupted wreckage of a Liner is seen suspended in the epicentre of the formation. It is primarily noted that the individual, Vincent Abrams, causes a major reaction when within proximity of the anomaly cluster, likely due to his instance of being the “Key. “ Several incursions have been made into the Anomaly, most notably after individuals were either sucked into an unstable wave of hyperspatial pull, or due to vessels sacrificing hull integrity in order to reduce overall mass to pass through an aperture within the anomalies formation. Destinations through the hyperspatial tunnel do not always end up within the same location. Interrogative efforts reveal that the end destination appears to primarily land within a dark matter storm. Technocrat blackboxes recovered from Lazurith and Revenant’s vessels reveal corrupted data streams, attempting to reverse the effects will reveal what appears to be two stars, one larger, one smaller with light absorbing inwards. Interrogative inquiries with Revenant reveal that the Triage will hyper compress the neural synapses of the implants, causing an overload upon the users mind, causing temporary loss of conscience of death. Upon inquiries of the end destination through the anomaly or how they escaped, Revenant refused to elaborate upon the two stars from the datastream, dodging the attempts to extract information through humming a song. It was concluded that end destinations through the anomaly will provoke a mnestic scent for the Sentinels.
Attitude: Aggressive Defensive. Does not go out of their way to attack, unless the victim has a mnemonic trace, in proximity of a site, is a direct threat to the sites, or is in the direct path of the Sentinels. Affiliation: Daam Kavash Known abilities: Telekinesis, Mnestic Tracking, Psychic Imprint, Metamorphosis Known associates: Unknown. Vincent Abrams (Target) Known forms: “Light Fighter” XB-SNT-0-005 “Fighter” XB-SNT-0-0010 “Gunboat” XB-SNT-0-0100 “Cruiser” XB-SNT-0-0500 “Battleship” - XB-SNT-0-1000 “Super Dreadnought” XB-SNT-0-2000 Notes: The Sentinels are autonomous life forms created by the Daam Kavash to protect select sites through destroying trespassers or individuals containing mnestic traces of the witnessed information, most notably seen protecting the Triage and the associated Vault. Relentlessly and without rest, the Sentinels will hunt down any living organism that may contain memories of the sites they hold, across any length of space. The only known counter to the Sentinels ability to track mnestic scents is to seek shelter at the Shrine, as the structure prevents their psychic capacity to trace individuals. It is not currently known as to how the Shrine is blocking the signals or that the Shrine will continue to do so indefinitely. Although largely autonomous in nature, the Sentinels have been studied to possess some cognitive abilities, performing feats of predatory prowess such as ambushing and awaiting for their prey, displaying basic forms of problem solving. However, due to their rare sightings and mnestic programming, attempting to initiate cognitive or sentient experimentation will prove inefficacious. Upon a chemical level, they share a similar crystalline composition to the Nomad forms upon initial scanning analysis, however further investigation will show that the Azurite compound within the crystals contains traces of Xenotime and Zeolites, as opposed to the tectosilicates present within crystals found within Nomad forms. Although the limited subtle differences were noted within a biopsy, physical differences may be examined on the husks. Greater levels of concentrated energy may be noted upon the forms, as well as the subtle shift of higher wavelengths upon the energetic tendrils, displaying a varying hue of brightened violet. Despite the limited understanding of their differences in biology, the Sentinels are very adept at adapting to environmental dangers, particularly with hyperspatial conditions as they primarily guard such anomalies. As such, their husks are heavily reinforced to withstand the hazardous entities of space, including energy and kinetic weapons fire. The Sentinels are capable of channeling their vigorous energy into a devastating beam of light, capable of tearing up even the most reinforced composite hulls known in the Sector. An interesting note regarding the Sentinels is that the Nomads are not impervious to their defensive mechanisms, both Vagrant and Nomad alike will be targeted, despite their analogous biological make up. Due to the dangers presented through the memetic hazard, Nomad mindshares may easily be corrupted unless the individual morph is wiped. One instance by the K’Hara Mindshare was recorded, where an observer morph witnessed an event Aliases: Zero. The Vault. Size: Unknown. Location: Unknown. Connected to the Triage. Status: *Dormant. Inactive. Affiliation: Daam Kavash Notes: No technical data is available upon the structure. It is speculated the Vault is a hidden structure within an edge sector system, concealed by a dark matter storm, accessible only by a gate that may be hidden within one of the Triage’s destination points. What is known is that the Vault is said to contain the mistakes of the Daam Kavash. Access to the Vault is impossible without a form of a possible psychic key, such as the case with Vincent Abrams. It is anticipated that the Vault may react to his presence, as the Triage and the Sentinels do. RE: »CASE: Final Journey - Kauket - 02-06-2022 ...neural.uplink detected... ...starting encryption...establishing connection... identified: Revenant ...TRANSLATING DATA... ![]() DISPLAYING MESSAGE More information has been entailed regarding these 'star structures' appearing around the Triage. These structures are known as Bells, information was retrieved from word of mouth, originating from OBS-002. The first appearance of such structure was detected within the depths of Kepler, Vector origin Foxtrot Three. Interrogation on local who collaborated with a Gallic Intelligence unit, subject Richard Towers of the Research Vessel Everlasting revealed information upon this first appearance, noting that for the brief time it had existed, it was unguarded. The Object had disappeared after approximately a week after discovery. The forwarded data. ![]() Further observation of the Triage revealed that one structure emerged out of the anomaly, followed by another three weeks later. ![]() The newest appearance of a Bell - within one of the last noted Incursion Point within Sigma-59. ![]() Observations are to be retained, but it is speculated that these "Bells" are vector beacons for the Sentinels to converge on. Each appearance of the Bells coaligns with the vectors of incursion points. One warning from a Vagrant was received before it had wiped itself, that their tribe should prepare from the recent incursion into the Triage. Approximately at 19:00 SMT, Vincent, myself and a Vagrant had converged upon the Triage to initiate a sensory experimentation in regards to the speculated theory of Vincent's connection with the Triage. However, his ship went unresponsive and was dragged into the formation, opening it up once more. This incursion entailed a displacement to an undiscovered location, brief geological studies upon the mineral samples gathered estimated the formation was beyond the Edge Nebulae, however the pinpoint location of the sector was yet to be determined. The sortie flew further into the Nebulae, discovering a Planetoid remain within the cloud. Movement was detected within the cluster, but it was unclear as to what. A crystalline sample, akin to an artifact, was retrieved from the cluster and is in holding for analysis. Vincent, myself, and Eris, had flown around the sector and had failed to discover any exiting anomaly. The key to escaping entailed within a wreckage of a deprecated Liberty Gunboat, with a damaged hyperspatial protoype drive. The device was heavily damaged and required sacrifical components from my fighter craft to make operational again. With a boost from the Hawfinch's powercore, there was a half chance of failure and shorting the device. As you may know from reading this report, the hotrigged drive functioned enough for one unstable jump out of the sector. The exit point had landed us within the Sigma-59 system. Fortunately, the present Overwatch vessels did not initiate any hostilities beyond their usual verbal rhetoric. It should be noted that will be more Xenophage activity from here on out.
