I come bearing the results of our technicians' work regarding the black box recovered from the derelict fighter we found yesterday. Security cam recordings were recovered with only minimal corruption of the content, and have been stored as such in our archives within the Compendium. I will stream the compiled version to this relay, for ease of access.
[Playback begins]
The ship's interior is shown from several angles, and the first few hours are uneventful at best. The compiled video fast-forwards through these sections. The video pauses for a moment, then resumes at a normal pace. The approach to Akabat is seen from the pilot's perspective, the docking ring opens and accepts the landing request. The descent continues through what appears to be standard landing procedure. At this point, a corruption of the pilot's view camera makes the recording illegible. Cockpit view reveals the pilot removing her helmet in preparation for touchdown - The video zooms into her face and then zooms out before continuing. Extreme turbulence as seen through the interior cameras suggests either malfunction or forcible grounding of the craft by the Order's ground forces.
The ship crashes to the ground at this point, the pilot is thrown out of her seat by the force of impact. Several objects are scattered around the interior. The pilot is still stirring, but appears to be heavily dazed from impact, she struggles to move. Cockpit view shows ground vehicles closing in and surrounding the ship. The pilot stands up and makes a disoriented and panicked run for the ship's cargo bay. Heavy fire from the surrounding forces brings the ship's shields down, and the cockpit is seen to crack and break under the fire. The pilot reaches the cargo hold, but falls mid-dash, apparently hit by several of the rounds that were sprayed on the ship.
The order marines are seen as they board the ship and tear down the cargo bay doors. They attempt to seize the pilot, she struggles, but in vain. One of them delivers a blow to her head and knocks her out. A corruption, the video skips a few minutes. Two people, a male and a female, obviously Order officers are seen talking in the cargo bay, over the unconscious body of the pilot. The female picks up the pilot in her arms gently and carries her out of the ship, disappearing from camera view.
The male remains and proceeds to vandalize the ship's environment, possibly looking to dispose of any discriminating evidence. He picks up some of the pilot's personal belongings in haste and burns her paperback documents. He then picks up a fire extinguisher and batters the black box several times, then leaves the ship in a hurry. Several minutes pass uneventfully, the video fast forwards and pauses. It zooms into the ship's instrument table, showing a green light for take off going online, the video unpauses. The ship's AI autopilot kickstarts the engine and the ship launches into space.
[Playback ends]
Quite the intriguing piece of cinema, don't you think? This adds a whole new dimension to this situation. I suggest further investigation, specifically into the identity of the inept conspirators seen towards the end of the recording. If the Proteus Tome is truly at stake somewhere in the middle of this game, then we need to get involved, and fast.
