-Greetings Command!
..*pain froans*...
-M.Drakon here! Arghh.. *choughs*
..*short comm silence*
-Reporting on today's incident with the Corsairs again.*takes a deep breath* The report will be sent in few seconds. Please stand by!
..*static*..
-Aaaa! Watch it nurse! It hurts like *static*! Sorry about that but I am reporting from the medical facility on Akabat. We had a small incident with the Bounty Hunters in Zeta Today. I will fill the report about that later if it will not be reported by somebody else..
Today 19.04.818 AH - I M.Drakon was assigned to a small task force meant to escort and assist our Scientists in O-99 for some Nomad Samples.
We proceeded to our destination with caution while passing trough nomad territory. Any Nomad Hostiles where kept away from our research team.
Once the Scout team reached O-99 we encountered some Corsair vessels. We question their presence there but they decided to maintain comm silence for a while. When they finally transmitted their intention we where ambushed by some Nomad force. During the fight with the Nomads one Corsair Vessel attempted to run so Agent Achenar Kado ordered me to keep an eye on the other two vessels while he was to keep contact on the third one.
After the nomads where eliminated the second Corsair Osiris attempted to run. The ship was Tierra Del Fuego. I had to stay on it's tail and ask for back up since my fighter is not equipped with a CD. The back up was delayed by some K'Hara ships, but they managed to meet me shortly after. Meantime I managed to establish a comm link with the Tierra Del Fuego, and started to question it's commanding officer.
The CO of Tierra talked about settling a base in O-99 for the Corsairs. They where pretty sure that a base there is the solution to Corsair's hunger. Tierra's CO talked about "farming Nomads to end hunger" which made me think he went insane. When our reinforcement arrived the Tierra decided to dock on the surface of 9-1 planet, the place that the CO thought to be the suitable place for a colony. I think the TDF ship was destroyed while attempting to dock in the planet's atmosphere. No trace of survivors.
We returned at our primary task and took the necessary samples. On our way back we where pursued by few SR ships. Colonel Davids ordered us to focus on our task and bring the samples to our facility. So we did not engaged the small SR force and headed to the research facility. I had to take the scientists and the samples from Psimple Defect's board and make a run to the facility while the rest of the group kept the SR busy. After I got enough distance between me and the hostiles all ships disengaged as ordered and headed to our base.
The mission was successful. We gathered the samples with only one loss. D'Autoine's ship was dissabled by the nomads while he had a short circuit at he's comm link. D'Autoine's pod was safely recovered and he was brought to our facility for medical care.
Operation resume:
-Task force 141 managed to get important Nomad Samples from O-99 and safely transport them to the research facility.
-We encountered Corsairs in O-99 and found out that they might attempt to build a base there, so the presence of Corsair ships in Nomad territory might increase. Infestation might be imminent.
-Lost one ship due to technical trouble, we should check our ships better next time.
