REPORT #825-004
TO: HCSTA High Commissar Alexey Novikov
FROM: SCEC CRO Dr. Mstislav Belov
RE: Acquisition of Construction Module

---

Comrade High Commissar,

The crew of “Kardashev” salutes you as one!

This brief report is to corroborate successful acquisition of a construction ship from the Order with a view to construct SCEC research station at a location to be designated further on. The mission was supervised by Aspirant Anton Shweik and will be in-details covered in his report.

CPRV ”Kardashev” heeded the agenda devised by Aspirant Shweik and escorted our operative to Omicron Mu where the latter successfully obtained the ship.

The itinerary employed:

---

Mykolaiv Research Station (New Moscow) -> Omega-58 -> Omega-47 -> Omega-41 -> Omega-55 -> Corfu Base (Omicron Theta; repairs and refuelling) -> Sigma 17 -> Omicron Sigma

---

Observing our diplomatic neutrality with The Order, CPRV ‘Kardashev’ remained on guard at Omicron Mu jumphole in 3F quadrant of Omicron Sigma until the operative returned with the construction ship.

Construction Module Obtained

The whole time to the destination we remained undetected by hostile forces. However, on our way back in Omega-55 system we experienced communication interferences in different spectra. Similar patterns have been previously observed when we encountered alien specimen in Omicron Delta (detailed coverage provided by Aspirant Shweik in his previous report). Expecting the worst, we decided to dock Kamchatka station. Having repaired, resupplied and failing to read any hostile signatures using both “Kardashev’s” and station’s sensors, we decided to continue our path using the closest jumphole to Omega-11 system. The itinerary was modified to:

---

Kamchatka Station (Omega-55) -> Omega-11 -> Omega-47 -> Omega-58 -> New Moscow

---

In Omega-11 our fears came true: a big alien specimen appeared out of nowhere, presumably having been following us in cloaked mode. This one, in particular, was of slightly different colour, possibly indicating its higher position of the hierarchy. The images we saw in our heads clearly indicated its aggressive intentions, most commonly using the word “void”, “anger”, and “purify”. We suggest, that the specimen was some kind of a mind-node that is capable of controlling lesser alien specimens.

Note 1: "This method of communication is particularly of interest to us since it instils fear on subconscious level. Our research crew believes, it is capable of instilling other emotions as well. If we manage to obtain more samples and replicate it, we can create a mobile “invigorating” generators to dampen psychic capabilities of the Corsairs (as it was mentioned in the previous report) and other enemies of the Coalition, as well as to enhance our propaganda, covert revolutionary operations in Houses core worlds and to bolster the morale of our troops." - Dr. Belov

Our mission coming first, CPRV “Kardashev” changed its position to rearguard and secured the operative coming first through the jumphole before proceeding itself. We hoped, that the specimen will not follow us into the space of our allies Red Hessians of Omega-47. However, the specimen appeared from the jumphole a few moments after us. Securing the only construction ship of non-Coalition design in the property of SCEC and the Coalition, it was decided for “Kardashev” to interrupt the pursuit by engaging the specimen.

On engaging, the crew of “Kardashev” could feel rage and anger in our minds. This impeded the accuracy of our turret gunners and overall dampened our battle capabilities. Using the most advanced tachyon-based military technologies of the Coalition, however, proved to be effective against both the shield and the hull of an alien vessel. With proper tactical positioning in asteroid field of Walker Nebula, we managed to get on tail of the specimen and disintegrate its shield. Afterwards, we used the mortyr to breach its hull. The bright bluish light that burst out of the hull upon the breach can indicate either ongoing nuclear reactions inside (as it was described by Aspirant Shweik in his report on the encounter with “Marduk”-class specimen) or presence of plasma. Taking into consideration the organic origin of the hull, the version with plasma seems to be less credible. However, if that is true, we have no preliminary idea on how organic matter can contain plasma.

Battlecams of Destroying the Specimen

Upon the destruction of the specimen we managed to salvage its remains: damaged hull parts and solid objects of spherical shape which are likely to be some sort of ammo. Unfortunately, nothing of the intestines could be obtained.

Obtained Spherical Ammo-like Objects

The remains were hermetically sealed off in one of the cargo pods of “Kardashev” and cooled down to 1 degree Kelvin for further studies.

After the encounter, “Kardashev” continued to escort our operative to New Moscow system. The rest of the itinerary was completed without any developments posing threat to the mission.

FURTHER RESEARCH NOTES

---

• The remains of the specimen will remain to be sealed off in the cargo bay until the directive of the HCSTA is given as well as the permission of Mykolaiv Research Station.
  
• All ship personnel aboard “Kardashev” have undergone chemical- and bio-sterilisation and extensive medical check-up to avoid possible infection by alien microorganisms.
  
• Special equipment is needed to be assembled in order to dissect the remains which are extremely solid and can not be pierced through with regular lab equipment.
  
• The analysis is suggested to be carried out on the orbit of Planet Odessa not far from Mykolaiv Research Station. In case of any unforeseen events that might pose threat to “Kardashev” or, “Kardashev” having been contaminated, other Coalition facilities and ships nearby, the sample (or “Kardashev” with the sample) can be thrown into the gravitational pool of Odessa and burned down in the atmosphere.
  

---

This report is also to formally seek permission from HCSTA to proceed with the preparation for the dissection. The research crew is looking forward to your notification, Comrade High
Commissar Novikov.

Hail the Unity of Our People!

With respect,
SCEC CRO Dr. Mstislav Belov
