Uncertain Destiny

[Einbeck]

12th of October, 744 A.S.

Altair Research Complex, Omicron Iota

The Research Complex was buzzing with activity and unlike the previous day, an even larger group of human craft was positioned near Altair, escorted by lesser Nomad warforms. Fortunately, due to the nebula's ability to render all scanners ineffective, this operation was kept a secret.

Much work has been done for the past day and the short maintenance completed at a rapid pace. Once more, the vessel was capable of enacting the Nomads' reign of terror against their main enemies: The Order and The Core. However, in spite of this, a more urgent matter would soon appear.

The shuttle of the captain departed the complex later that day, carrying all of the staff that had left just one day prior to discuss the new plans. In a hurry, the captain returned to the bridge and elaborated the new objectives with the rest of the crew.

After the briefing was concluded, the personnel returned to their respective stations on-board the cruiser and started the last preparations for departure. Their new task was to head to the Omegas and, while acting as a Rheinwehr asset, cause chaos between both the significant Core presence and frequent Corsair patrols. Most of the crew, were, by that time, experienced in combat situations and knew how to deal with smaller and larger vessels alike. Once there, Kaarst Drydock would serve as the main base for resupply and send reinforcements if the need arose.

Later that day

Omicron Zeta

With the flight checks completed, the cruiser left the safety of Omicron Iota and ventured for yet another time into the vast emptiness that was Omicron Zeta. Alongside it, the fighter escorts followed closely. The difficult part of the journey had begun just now, as evading the myriad of long range scanners put in place by The Order and The Core alike made it difficult to fly undetected. Nevertheless, the group marched on.
