Two Cultist incursions have been recently recorded in the Cortez system when we were returning back to base, then another incursion recorded the next day in the Tau-29 Sector.
Cultist transports, and then a recon probe, have been reported being intercepted, scans reveal that the transports were carrying a very hefty amount of Narcrahtite, to which the locals consisting of Bretonians who secured the site. Unfortunately, transports were too slow, and the Cultists managed to retrieve the materials.
As for the Tau scenario, we noticed a massive amount of GRN, making the mission to retrieve materials even harder. Fortunately, we managed to capture a large amount of samples, including some intact equipment which is used by the Cultist vessels. Materials have been sent to the research labs for study and containment, then eventual development for our defences.
This is what we obtained. Praise Eirene, these samples are a blessing. The Ares had additional Narcrahtite and Research Data samples, but went unrecorded.
On a minor note, it's been noted that the "ORG" has been sighted with the Commune briefly before the Cultist encounter - notably with Nomadic bio-remains, along with the ORG intruding Inverness, proceeding to hide on Atum. Meanwhile, one Commune was destroyed, with the help of Ares disabling the ship, who'm of which attempting to escape from the Cultist scenario with data. These developments are highly unacceptable. Ensure that these "researchers" are subjugated on sight. Let us hope these fools are wise enough to keep away while we build.
