[align=center]Greetings Brother's and Sister's,
Shade Reporting. On this day I deployed for the first time my newly commissioned vessel the (\^/)Thanatos. I encountered the (\^/)Genesis as well as pilot Quiron Lacroix and Jonathan Roberts. I asked them to join me as I intended on entering Omicron Iota to begin searching for my fiends of the lost ZEF fleet. None of them faltered, even for a second in helping me on my quest. We mustered our fleet and headed to Iota. As we neared the Iota jump hole, we suddenly came under heavy fire from Stationary Nomad weapon systems. Our vessels shields held true and we entered the system. Once on the other side we again faced Nomad weapon systems that had been placed near the jump hole and again our shields held strong. My long range scanners had detected a very weak signal of some sort and we began exploring the system. As we ventured further in the signal became slightly stronger until I discovered a message beacon of unknown origins. Most of the signal was corrupted and the only information that I could gain from it was that what ever vessel had deployed it had made it way to a system called Omicron-99. A feeling of exhilaration came over me, and my hopes were re-ignited! My friends may still yet live! So using gravimetric telemetry we were able located this Omicron-99 jump hole. We made entry into the system, and you would not believe the sights there its just beautiful! But this beauty was quickly corrupted as swarms of Nomad vessels descended upon the fleet. I was able to capture some images as we had to defend ourselves from the largest Nomad vessel I have ever seen! And it was not just one of them my brothers and sisters, we faced a total of five of them! But we were victorious and managed to destroy all of them! My scanners detected the same signal as before but it was much stronger, but alas we were unable to continue our search as our vessels were to heavily outnumbered to continue with the search so we fell back. It was a close call, to close...But we made it and gathered some very good data that I have uploaded to Phoenix Spaceports databank. I will provide for you here my family the images of what we saw there.
After our return to Phoenix Spaceport, Quiron escorted the (\^/)Thanatos to Freeport 11 so that I could re-supply some goods that were expended. This is when a very interesting thing occurred. We encountered a Rheinland Cruiser in Omicron Delta near the Zeta jump hole. The vessel was called BDM|RNC-Brynhildr. Quiron and I engaged in conversation with its captain who did not identify himself (I say himself as "it's" gender was identified at any point). We made some inquires with the captain. Quiron was able to collect much more information about our conversation then I. I'm sure he will provide it asap. I did ask about the RAV and "he" assured me that the Rheinalnd government is looking into the incident dealing with the Freeport 7 reconstruction site attack. I will provide more information on a secure channel about this encounter. For now friends it is time to rest, as I'm planning my next excursion to look for my missing friends. I will keep you all posted.
