Karasu No Kage

Agent Karasu.no.Kage here, of the Naval Intelligence. I come to deliver my report on the recent action in the Frankfurt system, in tandem with the KDS-Shirayuki.

On the 16th of this month we were preparing our next operations to investigate the occurrence in Rheinland's Frankfurt system, where Fulda Border Station was the target of a highly destructive terrorist attack. During those preparations, chatter in the public communications channel in the Hegoland corridor in Sigma-13 spiked, caused by panic related to nomad sightings.

It was decided that the available ships of the Quick Response Taskforce for the Honshu system would be deployed to acertain the facts, and I joined the group, consisting of Komainu Class KDS-Shirayuki, and [KNF]Sk.Kuroh.Tatsuya and me on newly deployed Wyvern fighters.

We departed for Hegoland, where we spotted an IMG convoy, most likely the source of the comms spike. They were organizing their defenses, but no aliens were spotted in the vicinity of the installation. Shirayuki decided to head to the Frankfurt gate, as chatter indicated the threat was moving into Rheinland territory. Unfortunately, we come into the problems around the terrorist attack on Fulda, as the companion gate on the Sigma was disabled, although undamaged.

We passed tho Frankfurt through the nearby jumphole anomaly, and came face to face with a considerable large battle, where a Nomad entity (callsign Ikthys ) was under attack from several human warships, mostly Rheinland Military and paramilitary ships.

Also present were several agents of the Order organization, who were probably combating the Nomad at the same time they were observing the Military reaction to the threat.

Ikthys was destroyed, and the Shirayuki suffered considerable damage from the engagement. Luckly the BDM and RM agents were favorable to providing us some repairs for continued operation. Direct contact with RM officers provided us little in terms of information regarding the attack on Fulda, but a direct inspection of the site gave us some more clues.

Indeed, several ships of GMG production ambushed us in the area, and were definitely hostile to us, although they were not targeted by Fulda still active defense batteries. We neutralized a few units and captured some records on them, which may shed some light on how they managed to pass by the station security.

Finalizing our intervention in Rheinland for the moment, and having no further notice of Nomad activity in the region, we set course back to homeland.
