This mission was issued directly and privately by Professor Provocateur Nicole Hunter in May 822 A.S. after a very concerning propaganda message released by the Oracles, also known as the Cult of Sirius, an ultra-fanatic religious group which worships the nomads.
Top-secret intelligence was declassified by the Professor in order to aid me in my efforts. While the Oracles publicly appear as an open, alternative, mysterious, and progressive organization in reality it is an extremely secretive cult, hiding behind aliases, proxies and only indirectly they project their true goals, undoubtedly assigned to them by their alien masters.
After careful examination of the (albeit limited) information we had collected on this organization I concluded that the best course of action is to intercept and abduct the only known cultist in Liberty, Jim McKenna. The rest shown in the video were either untraceable or their identities were hidden. Alarmingly enough, Jim McKenna was also the Arbiter of the Junker Congress a fact which shows that the Oracles are also striving to infiltrate the leaderships of other organizations, forces and governments.
The mission was a success and the Arbiter of Congress was successfully abducted. In Leiden Base, I personally mania-interrogated the subject. Jim McKenna revealed the inner structure of the Oracles and goals. Apparently through their religious drive they continue to experiment on human mutation which created the so-called hybrid -- a mixture of human and nomad DNA. In addition, the Arbiter revealed that the Oracles have close relations with OSI, TAZ and the Legion. We already have evidence on the last, and as for the TAZ, the Grand Admiral of the Order has already revealed that in the past. Finally, he also mentioned that there is rivalry between the Crimson Cross and the Oracles.
McKenna had a single contact and superior from whom he received all his instructions. Subsequently my next step was to hit his superior and gain access to an even greater level of information. As described in my analysis I managed to locate a suspect who was going by the alias of Hans Campbell and proposed an armed assault mission. Professor Hunter authorized the mission.
Interruptor Freudenstein assisted me in this mission along with three more specialized Hackers. After we successfully infiltrated the planet, we proceeded to the closest hidden weapon stash from our target. Once my team was loaded with firearms, we hijacked a robotic squat. Our team approached the apartment with great care however before we entered we heard a single gunshot, "Hans Campbell" committed suicide rather than be caught alive. Inside the apartment we later realized this man had installed a sophisticated surveillance network which warned him of our approach. To make things even worse, a few moments before the suicide he had started an automated deletion of all his computer files, the process was protected by a Severus-type firewall. This was when my unique hacking skills proved particularly useful as I managed to overcome the firewall and stop the countdown. After the apartment was thoroughly examined and I copied the remaining files we successfully fled from the apartment and returned back to Mactan Base.
In the follow-up report I analyzed the retrieved information. Though the majority of it was either useless or too damaged to be restored we managed to retrieve some logs of outsiders who quite interestingly are in contact with the Oracle leadership as well as orders to this "Hans Campbell" by the person seemingly in command of all the Oracle operatives in Liberty, Isabelle Engler, a hybrid most likely. Despite the fact that the hybrid issued orders from the Omicrons, I decided that the next phase of the mission is to capture her in order to inflict a serious blow to the Oracles, as well as gain a unique chance to closely examine a hybrid. Another reason is that we'd otherwise be facing a dead-end.
With the help of Professor Hunter I initially contacted the Crimson Cross in order to help us with the intel however despite their acceptance they proved to be unreliable, for reasons unknown. However this significantly delayed the mission well into 823 A.S. while the mission was re-authorized by Senior Professor Moriarty. Simultaneously Interruptor Tarn contacted the Order in order to obtain information about the hybrids, and raise possible defences against their unknown abilities. This was followed up by another professional-level analysis by Mr Tarn, which was the fruits of a combined operation with Order operatives.
National Council's rise in Maltese politics and our early support guaranteed a close alliance with them. So there was hardly any doubt when we restated the proposal we initially offered to Crimson Cross, the Maltese quickly agreed to our proposal which allowed them to learn of The Council's secret Tau home system, Roussillon, in return for information about Isabelle Engler and freedom to do as we please with her as well as two more matters of lesser importance. Once we had a date and time Operation Recklessness was designed and prepared. The mission's dangers were all too well known from the very beginning, hence the mission's name. Instead of being alone, Isabelle Engler had a full escort wing which ultimately failed the mission and I suspect that the infectees within the National Council were behind this and betrayed us. This is the full report including all the conclusions which stem out of this result.
Subsequently, and since there are no more important leads to follow or expect to uncover in the short-term future, I hereby submit Mission 42 for evaluation by the Professorship.
