Reporting in from Sabah after a short repair and 'parade' of sorts. This one is for yourselves and the CIS you've assigned to me (or the other way around as they like to think). Attached is Sage's report after he came aboard.

Extracts from intelligence reports by Agent Sage
Some of the 'regular military' in the area will be able to report on the combat itself, but this report shall contain further details for those with access to it.
Alongside the Order, several of our pilots began analysis on the alien structure to the south of the Barrier cloud in Coronado. The earlier military operation involving the gate, albeit with much of the data lost along with the ships involved, does seem to have been correct concerning the activation and power of the gate. Linking to the Euryphaessa, I began a full scan of the gate which was almost interrupted by a Nomad and infected Rheinlander 'patrol' of sorts. One in particular seemed rather determined that I was on the wrong side, but I'd rather keep the incubi out of my mouth.

[17.06.2013 18:50:45] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{A soft, angel like voice echoes in your mind. "But what are they laughing at?"}***
[17.06.2013 18:50:59] CR|-Sage[17th]: *grunts* That is quite the noise you are making.
[17.06.2013 18:51:27] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{When you turn your head to the side, you could see that they originate from your comrades.}***
[17.06.2013 18:51:42] CR|-Sage[17th]: Not that one doesn't get used to loud music with the 15th.
[17.06.2013 18:51:51] CR|-Sage[17th]: Unfortunately... it's the quiet ones with me...
[17.06.2013 18:52:26] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{You see their heads turning back and forth, their fingers pointing at you. "Seems like you don't know them at all."}***
[17.06.2013 18:52:49] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{You hear one of your comrades say "Just some cannon fodder", bringing another laugh from your wingmen.}***
[17.06.2013 18:53:45] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{"Why are they laughing at you? Don't they have faith in you? What a pity .. "}***
[17.06.2013 18:53:56] CR|-Sage[17th]: Yes, everyone loves an agent.
[17.06.2013 18:54:07] CR|-Sage[17th]: A thick skin and a strong mind, they work well enough.
[17.06.2013 18:54:44] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{"How thick will your skin be for that?", you see a bolt of energy suddenly launching towards you.}***
[17.06.2013 18:54:58] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{If you look towards its source, there's just one of your wingmen grinning and waving at you.}***
[17.06.2013 18:55:09] CR|-Sage[17th]: Tricks of the light eh? What of your "lights", your comrades?
[17.06.2013 18:55:29] CR|-Sage[17th]: How friendly is the mindshare after it was torn assunder?
[17.06.2013 18:56:20] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{"You don't need them. Just as they don't need you. Tell me about your wishes, dear."}***
[17.06.2013 18:56:52] CR|-Sage[17th]: I wish to shut... you... out...
[17.06.2013 18:57:04] CR|-Sage[17th]: Jumping in
[17.06.2013 18:57:18] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{"Are you like generic humans? Searching for money, power, partners? For your own gain, exclusively?"}***
[17.06.2013 18:58:01] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{"Turn against those who make you weak, those who make fun of you."}***
[17.06.2013 18:58:23] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{"Turn against the remnants of something what was doomed anyway."}***
[17.06.2013 18:58:34] CR|-Sage[17th]: You think we have not learned in our time?
[17.06.2013 18:59:02] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{The pressure tightens, almost giving you headaches already.}***
[17.06.2013 18:59:28] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{"Come to the light. To power. To the fulfillment of your dreams."}***
[17.06.2013 18:59:44] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{"Existence without those fools stopping you."}***
[17.06.2013 18:59:58] CR|-Sage[17th]: I have lived in many sectors with them.
[17.06.2013 19:00:07] CR|-Sage[17th]: I would have turned long ago if I wished.
[17.06.2013 19:00:29] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{You once again hear the voices laughing at you, it's density becoming almost unbearable.}***
[17.06.2013 19:02:16] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{"You will never achieve anything. Embrace the light and fight your comrades, those who make you weak."}***
[17.06.2013 19:06:09] CR|-Sage[17th]: Hmmm, target Tiamat.
Fortunately the techniques we were told by the Core and Order seem to work, although this Nomad appeared to be rather weak.
After the scan was complete, I returned to the Euryphaessa alongside Sentry and Prudence to keep track of the battle to come.
Agent Sage, ending report.
Forming up with the Argo and some snubcraft support, the equal Nomad force soon came into range.
Although the battle was covered well with the Spyglass array, I must commend young Westridge on his disruption and scouting efforts. Seems he has picked up some strategic talent from his father.
Splitting their cruisers apart, they were shattered one after the other. The remaining ships were picked off by Jackson extremely well, given he was using a smaller razor.
In an unrelated report, while combat-testing the cruiser's weapons in the past, one of the Lance fell to our Razors. Along with how long these Irras lasted, it does appear to pack quite the punch.
