Patrol Report

Hail Overwatch.

There were several more developments in the Omega-3 system that occured yesterday and today.
For the sake of preventing the reports from stacking on your desk I will include them all in this transmission.

Report 1: I spotted two Kusari Naval Forces ships near Alands together with a Bretonian Carrier. They seemed to claim they were en route back to Kusari when questioned by the Bretonian vessel. Unfortunately, I had to pull back after as my cloaking batteries started to get close to running out, but not before I made a few scans of the ships involved.

Report 2: I am happy to report that Vizier One arrived safely in the Omega-3 system. We met up in Cambridge and I briefed him on the developments in the system once we entered Omega 3. The additional Order reinforcement is greatly appreciated.

Report 3: By lack of response of The Brotherhood to our earlier message sent a month ago, I have taken the liberty of sending a new transmission informing them of the new turn of events in Alands and once more proposing we improve ties in combined strikes.

Report 4: During a patrol in the Omega-3 and Omega-7 systems today I ran into a Lane Hacker near Aland Shipyard. Considering our relative well ties with them I revealed my presence and struck up a conversation. He revealed that the Corsairs have an "Osiris" stationed in the New London system and that Galia is getting closer and closer to overwhelming the Bretonian fleet. In return, I revealed information regarding the closest Nomad activity I've seen in the area, Omega-7. Admitively this was far before the events at Aland, but it occured none the less. I also corrected him the ship in question was likely a Murmillo class and not an Osiris.

I have included the guncams for report 1 and 2, the transmission to the Corsair Empire for report 3 and the audio logs for report 4 to this transmission.

Hacker Encounter:
[25.03.2019 14:45:51] Maximillian.Largo: "Now what is this...a EM signature?"
[25.03.2019 14:46:10] Order|Solandros: Xan: *chuckle* Always perceptive.
[25.03.2019 14:46:14] Cloaking device off
[25.03.2019 14:46:21] Maximillian.Largo: "I should have imagined."
[25.03.2019 14:46:30] Order|Solandros: Xan: It's not often I see a hacker this far out.
[25.03.2019 14:46:49] Maximillian.Largo: "I'm out for a ordinary stroll, nothing serious."
[25.03.2019 14:47:14] Maximillian.Largo: "Came to look the aftermath of the battle for Aland, actually."
[25.03.2019 14:47:25] Order|Solandros: Xan: Understandable, it was quite an event.
[25.03.2019 14:47:33] Maximillian.Largo: "And the hulk of the Olympia."
[25.03.2019 14:48:00] Order|Solandros: Xan: A supposedly destroyed ship, led by a supposedly dead admiral
[25.03.2019 14:48:10] Maximillian.Largo: "Mind if I inquire about an Order agent around here?"
[25.03.2019 14:48:14] Order|Solandros: Xan: I'll give the Bretonians this much, it was a convincing ruese for a surprise attack.
[25.03.2019 14:48:22] Maximillian.Largo: "So I heard."
[25.03.2019 14:48:37] Maximillian.Largo: "They used the Olympia's jumpdrive for a surprise assault."
[25.03.2019 14:49:08] Maximillian.Largo: "That I heard on the Freeport."
[25.03.2019 14:49:09] Order|Solandros: Xan: We have concerns about Bretonia's rabid expansion, and growing seemingly lack of tact.
[25.03.2019 14:49:30] Maximillian.Largo: "Understandable."
[25.03.2019 14:49:53] Maximillian.Largo: "But where are my manners, agent."
[25.03.2019 14:50:08] Maximillian.Largo: "Deceiver Maximillian Largo, Lane Hackers Inner Circle."
[25.03.2019 14:50:35] Order|Solandros: Xan: *chuckles* for a moment there I expected you to reveal yourself as Steiner, now that would've been a riot.
[25.03.2019 14:51:04] Maximillian.Largo: "Funny."
[25.03.2019 14:51:12] Order|Solandros: Xan: I'm known as Agent Solandros outside the Order, I'm a Captain within the Black Fleet of the Overwatch
[25.03.2019 14:51:40] Order|Solandros: Xan: If I were to translate to your hierarchy, I'd say that's just outside the inner circle.
[25.03.2019 14:51:54] Maximillian.Largo: "You're quite far out, honestly."
[25.03.2019 14:52:13] Order|Solandros: Xan: Indeed, and that should be a point of concern.
[25.03.2019 14:52:19] Maximillian.Largo: "Indeed it is."
[25.03.2019 14:52:32] Order|Solandros: Xan: Nomads have been spotted as close as Omega-7
[25.03.2019 14:52:39] Order|Solandros: Xan: In addition to Bretonias antics.
[25.03.2019 14:52:39] Maximillian.Largo: "Nomads this far?"
[25.03.2019 14:52:44] Order|Solandros: Xan: Mhm
[25.03.2019 14:52:46] Maximillian.Largo: "Now that is concerning."
[25.03.2019 14:53:12] Maximillian.Largo: "The Bretonians' antics and reckless behaviour is a thing, but Nomads..."
[25.03.2019 14:53:23] Order|Solandros: Xan: Add that every faction in the region is at eachothers throat.
[25.03.2019 14:53:45] Maximillian.Largo: "Basically, the Omegas became a hellhole."
[25.03.2019 14:53:52] Order|Solandros: Xan: Well, lets just say my days are busy
[25.03.2019 14:54:07] Maximillian.Largo: "I thought Bretonians at least retaines some class in doing their thing."
[25.03.2019 14:54:25] Order|Solandros: Xan: I did too, before the whole Omega-49 thing.
[25.03.2019 14:54:26] Maximillian.Largo: "Guess they're just as dim-witted and narrow-minded as the Liberty Navy is."
[25.03.2019 14:54:36] Order|Solandros: Xan: It makes sense, I suppose. A cornered animal will do desperate things.
[25.03.2019 14:54:46] Order|Solandros: Xan: And from what I've heard Bretonia is very, very cornered.
[25.03.2019 14:55:05] Maximillian.Largo: "Just flew past New London, and the situation is...dire."
[25.03.2019 14:55:37] Order|Solandros: Xan: Galia that close already eh?
[25.03.2019 14:55:39] Maximillian.Largo: "To add that I noticed a Corsair-made Osiris-class nearby the Southampton wreckage."
[25.03.2019 14:55:58] Order|Solandros: Xan: Heh, lets see, what did they call those things again...
[25.03.2019 14:56:23] Maximillian.Largo: "By the way, that was identified by my scanners as...Battleship Athos."
[25.03.2019 14:56:34] Order|Solandros: Xan: I believe it was...Murmillo class, the ship type.
[25.03.2019 14:56:53] Maximillian.Largo: "Well, it was all too similar to an Osiris."
[25.03.2019 14:56:59] Order|Solandros: Xan: An old Osiris class ship, retrofitted.
[25.03.2019 14:57:09] Order|Solandros: Xan: Those things are ancient, at least two decades by now.
[25.03.2019 14:57:20] Order|Solandros: Xan: Surprised the Corsairs are still flying one.
[25.03.2019 14:57:26] Maximillian.Largo: "Hrm."
[25.03.2019 14:58:15] Maximillian.Largo: "Still, a Corsair capital vessel and two Gallic Valors nearby...you take the conclusions."
[25.03.2019 14:58:28] Order|Solandros: Xan: Not the best of conditions for Bretonia.
[25.03.2019 14:58:58] Order|Solandros: Xan: Still, with the way the crown has been behaving one has to wonder which is the greater evil. Galia or Bretonia.
[25.03.2019 14:59:26] Maximillian.Largo: "Consider that, should Bretonia fall or surrender, we all know who would be next."
[25.03.2019 14:59:37] Order|Solandros: Xan: Liberty, Kusari has already fallen after all.
[25.03.2019 14:59:41] Order|Solandros: Xan: Rheinland soon after
[25.03.2019 14:59:44] Maximillian.Largo: "Exactly."
[25.03.2019 15:00:11] Order|Solandros: Xan: *audible sigh* If only people were that motivated to fight Nomads.
[25.03.2019 15:00:19] Maximillian.Largo: "True."
[25.03.2019 15:00:36] Order|Solandros: Xan: I suppose I have to give the Core that much
[25.03.2019 15:00:42] Order|Solandros: Xan: They weaponized greed against the Nomads
[25.03.2019 15:00:48] Maximillian.Largo: "Anyway, I would be on my way now. No need to waste more of your time."
[25.03.2019 15:00:56] Maximillian.Largo: "Before I go, though..."
[25.03.2019 15:01:09] Maximillian.Largo: "What of the Core and their 'weaponized greed'?"
[25.03.2019 15:01:18] Maximillian.Largo: "
[25.03.2019 15:01:47] Order|Solandros: Xan: People join the Core looking for money. The Core try to adapt nomad tech more and more.
[25.03.2019 15:02:03] Maximillian.Largo: "Core meddling with nomad tech..."
[25.03.2019 15:02:07] Order|Solandros: Xan: The infection risk is, well. If you don't handle that kind of stuff carefully, things get bad.
[25.03.2019 15:02:15] Order|Solandros: Xan: Thats why the Order is so opposed against the Core
[25.03.2019 15:02:17] Maximillian.Largo: "Definetly worthy of the epitome of 'madmen'."
[25.03.2019 15:02:25] Maximillian.Largo: "The Core, of course."
[25.03.2019 15:02:42] Order|Solandros: Xan: Mhm, anyway. I'll resume my patrol. It was good to run into you.
[25.03.2019 15:02:50] Maximillian.Largo: "Same here."
[25.03.2019 15:03:01] Order|Solandros: Xan: The Order and Hackers have cordial relations, its been rare to see some of those around here as of late.
[25.03.2019 15:03:17] Maximillian.Largo: "Should you require, you can contact me directly."
[25.03.2019 15:03:30] Order|Solandros: Xan: Appreciated, feel free to consider the offer mutual.
[25.03.2019 15:03:30] Maximillian.Largo: "I can easily relay to the Professorship."
[25.03.2019 15:03:48] Maximillian.Largo: "Anyway, better be on our way, don't you think?"
[25.03.2019 15:03:54] Order|Solandros: Xan: Indeed. Safe flights.
[25.03.2019 15:03:55] Maximillian.Largo: "Until next time, agent Solandros."
