Saludos:

On a routine Patrol near the Beta Jump Hole a foreign ship caught the attention of pilots of the patrol ships Battlecruiser Tarxien and Bomber Alumbro. Miguel Perez, the captain of the Battlecruiser Tarxien reported he first saw the ship coming from the direction of Planet Malta towards the Beta jump hole when Alumbro was making his way over to join for their patrol shift. The ship was a known bomber manufactured and used by the Gallic Military. However, the pilot of the ship claimed to be Freelancer. They also called themselves "Countess Juliette Pascal de Lorraine".

The ship was carrying alien technology and a power cell of alien origin. The pilot claimed to be a believer of a religion that worships the aliens and that they have significant presence in Gallia even though it is banned to be involved with such things there. The pilot of that ship told the patrol that they had been on Malta and had visited their friends and temples. The pilot was responsive to the questions asked by the patrol suddenly when something took over the ship and like the aliens the pilot started communicating directly to their minds without comms. The ship cloaked away as the patrol chased the ship. Captain Miguel reported to HQ quickly about the situation while they hurriedly made their way back to Malta to stand guard.

The alien started communicating again in the orbit near Malta when the Dreadnought Marsaxlokk was deployed. The Dreadnought successfully disrupted their cloaking systems as the guarding ships lunged towards the alien ship but they got away and our ships lost the trail.

Below are the comm logs and a picture of the ship captured by Alumbro.

[13.11.2021 20:09:13] Nymph-[Fae: ?: Such a huge ship... Maltesians never changes. Even in such hard times using cruisers and battleships. All across the Sirius.
[13.11.2021 20:09:15] HS>Alumbro: yeah
[13.11.2021 20:09:35] HS>Tarxien: M: What? Whats a Gallic ship doing here?
[13.11.2021 20:10:14] Nymph-[Fae: ?: Me? Just flying around to watch the worlds far from my homeland.
[13.11.2021 20:10:15] HS>Tarxien: M: You are not welcome here.
[13.11.2021 20:10:30] Nymph-[Fae: ?: Ergh, sounds silly enough, oui?
[13.11.2021 20:10:44] HS>Tarxien: M: You'd better crawl back to the hole you came from before you get yourself killed.
[13.11.2021 20:10:57] Nymph-[Fae: ?: I'm watching on you, folks. Your beloved "spirits" asked me for that.
[13.11.2021 20:11:28] HS>Tarxien: M: Beloved? Not all of us think that way.
[13.11.2021 20:12:16] Nymph-[Fae: ?: No matter. They always watching. In one way or another. So dont do stupid things and we all would be a good friends, oui?
[13.11.2021 20:12:17] HS>Tarxien: M: It does look like you have met some of those things though with what you have on your ship there.
[13.11.2021 20:12:26] Nymph-[Fae: ?: Just a friendly advice. No offence.
[13.11.2021 20:12:37] HS>Tarxien: M: Who are you again? A believer?
[13.11.2021 20:12:44] HS>Tarxien: M: From Gallia?
[13.11.2021 20:12:52] Nymph-[Fae: ?: Sort of. Are you surprised?
[13.11.2021 20:13:19] HS>Tarxien: M: I am. Gallic is far from all this if you dont know.
[13.11.2021 20:14:18] Nymph-[Fae: ?: Not at all. Our religion is banned there, its true.
[13.11.2021 20:14:39] Nymph-[Fae: ?: Yet. As you can see, people like just dont care about this.
[13.11.2021 20:14:53] Nymph-[Fae: ?: Like me, mon amie.
[13.11.2021 20:15:26] HS>Tarxien: M: Thats good for you but you are still an enemy of us, the Outcasts.
[13.11.2021 20:15:52] Nymph-[Fae: ?: I was on Malta at yesterday. Visited several temples and meet my dear friend.
[13.11.2021 20:15:56] HS>Tarxien: M: It'd be better for you to stay a few systems away from here.
[13.11.2021 20:16:16] Nymph-[Fae: ?: Me? Nah. I do not came here to fight or whatever.
[13.11.2021 20:16:17] HS>Tarxien: M: On MALTA?! How is that?!
[13.11.2021 20:16:31] HS>Alumbro: Hola senor.
[13.11.2021 20:16:33] Nymph-[Fae: ?:Siple. I am a freelancer, am i not?
[13.11.2021 20:16:39] Nymph-[Fae: //simple*
[13.11.2021 20:17:05] Nymph-[Fae: ?: Bonjour a newcomer!
[13.11.2021 20:17:08] HS>Tarxien: M: Hola. This Gallic fellow here says he was on Malta a few days ago and visited our temples and people.
[13.11.2021 20:17:19] Nymph-[Fae: ?: Oui.
[13.11.2021 20:17:30] HS>Alumbro: Curious. Outsiders are typically not permitted to travel so freely.
[13.11.2021 20:17:40] HS>Alumbro: Especially gallics.
[13.11.2021 20:17:41] Nymph-[Fae: ?: I like your culture. So i went here to study it.
[13.11.2021 20:18:00] HS>Alumbro: Well, if you'd like to stay even longer, the fields always need more workers.
[13.11.2021 20:18:10] Nymph-[Fae: ?: Plus, your planet... Its something you cannot see like anywhere in space.
[13.11.2021 20:18:26] HS>Alumbro: Hence why it must be protected from outsiders.
[13.11.2021 20:18:27] HS>Tarxien: M: Maybe he has connections or... he is lying. Who is your friend?
[13.11.2021 20:18:39] Nymph-[Fae: ?: Dona Enma Loyola.
[13.11.2021 20:18:54] HS>Alumbro: That name is familiar, and not pleasantly so.
[13.11.2021 20:19:08] Nymph-[Fae: ?: And not "he". A "she". I am a lady, mon amies.
[13.11.2021 20:19:16] HS>Alumbro: Does she even retain her title?
[13.11.2021 20:19:42] Nymph-[Fae: ?: As i know - she is. Her name stil matter on planet.
[13.11.2021 20:20:18] Nymph-[Fae: ?: Anyhow, i'm not going to take more of your time, senores.
[13.11.2021 20:20:39] HS>Alumbro: Do not get too comfortable here, gallics are not our friends.
[13.11.2021 20:20:54] Nymph-[Fae: ?: By the way. I'm not introduced myself. I am Countess Juliette Pascal de Lorraine.
[13.11.2021 20:21:24] HS>Tarxien: M: A word of advice before you leave. Watch your way back. Not everyone is as nice as we are.
[13.11.2021 20:21:28] HS>Alumbro: That name means nothing to me. Should it?
[13.11.2021 20:22:08] Nymph-[Fae: ?: Well... Alright. Thank you for advice. And yeah. Keep and eye on that giant with ruins.
[13.11.2021 20:22:27] Nymph-[Fae: ?: There are too many weird persons was today. Kusarians, freelancers and so on.
[13.11.2021 20:22:38] HS>Alumbro: What giant with ruins?
[13.11.2021 20:23:08] Nymph-[Fae: ?: Amazing blue one. As i know, somewhere in system of your rivals.
[13.11.2021 20:23:18] Nymph-[Fae: ?: Corsairs they calling itself
[13.11.2021 20:23:37] Nymph-[Fae: ?: Now, i'm departing.
[13.11.2021 20:23:41] HS>Alumbro: That cloak did not look normal. Did you see the purple effect?
[13.11.2021 20:23:51] HS>Tarxien: M: I did.
[13.11.2021 20:23:55] HS>Alumbro: Just what are you, "countess"?
[13.11.2021 20:24:14] Nymph-[Fae: ?: Enlightened. Is it enough for you?
[13.11.2021 20:24:21] HS>Tarxien: M: This woman said some strange things to me before you came.
[13.11.2021 20:24:36] HS>Alumbro: Enlightened? What do you mean?
[13.11.2021 20:25:04] Nymph-[Fae: ?: Ask about that the spirits. Your religion.
[13.11.2021 20:25:12] HS>Alumbro: Our religion?
[13.11.2021 20:25:13] HS>Tarxien: M: Our Beloved "spirits" asked her to watch us.
[13.11.2021 20:25:31] HS>Alumbro: You seem to misunderstand much, strange gallic.
[13.11.2021 20:25:35] HS>Tarxien: M: My gut tells me something is not quite right here.
[13.11.2021 20:25:47] HS>Alumbro: Belief in the spirits is far from universal.
[13.11.2021 20:26:18] Nymph-[Fae: ?: Hm... It is. Anyway, you meet them before, dont you? They have a forms.
[13.11.2021 20:26:23] HS>Tarxien: M: And she has been on our Planet. We need to report back what we know and have seen today.
[13.11.2021 20:26:43] HS>Alumbro: The nomads? I have met them before, yes. And they have attempted to kill me.
[13.11.2021 20:26:52] HS>Alumbro: Agreed, senor.
[13.11.2021 20:27:08] Nymph-[Fae: ?: That strange... They usualy avoid fights with your kind. Is something changed?
[13.11.2021 20:27:31] HS>Tarxien: M: They did not attemp to kill you?
[13.11.2021 20:27:32] HS>Alumbro: You seem to know them, ask them yourself.
[13.11.2021 20:27:36] HS>Alumbro: Just how do you know them?
[13.11.2021 20:27:50] Nymph-[Fae: ?: They talked with me... Like... Imagine the voice in your head.
[13.11.2021 20:27:51] HS>Alumbro: I've seen other ships, who appear to be human, but speak as the nomads do.
[13.11.2021 20:27:54] Nymph-[Fae: ?: That way.
[13.11.2021 20:28:09] HS>Tarxien: M: And how did you get that cloak technology? Where is that from?
[13.11.2021 20:28:23] Nymph-[Fae: ?: Rare black market stuff.
[13.11.2021 20:28:33] Nymph-[Fae: ?: Check Coronado dealers for such.
[13.11.2021 20:28:48] HS>Tarxien: M: Oh we know the black markets quite well. Dont we senor?
[13.11.2021 20:29:09] HS>Tarxien: M: And I am pretty sure that thing is not available on the market.
[13.11.2021 20:29:34] HS>Alumbro: I've seen my fair share of cloakings and uncloakings, and only in on instance did they glow purple like that.
[13.11.2021 20:29:36] Nymph-[Fae: ?: If you have right connections - anything possible, my maltesian friends.
[13.11.2021 20:29:38] HS>Alumbro: Care to guess, gallic?
[13.11.2021 20:29:43] HS>Tarxien: M: You see this is our turf. It'd be better for you to talk straight and stop lying.
[13.11.2021 20:30:09] Nymph-[Fae: ?: *she is smiled*
[13.11.2021 20:31:13] HS>Alumbro: What's the matter? Squid got your tongue?
[13.11.2021 20:31:16] Nymph-[Fae: *her ship started to emmitt pulsating energy. Pilots got the feeling like someone tries to break into their thoughts*
[13.11.2021 20:32:00] HS>Alumbro: Ok, this is getting weird.
[13.11.2021 20:32:01] HS>Tarxien: M: You'd better start talking. We haven't got all... what is that?
[13.11.2021 20:32:26] HS>Tarxien: M: Something is wrong with that ship. My crew is reporting strange anomaly.
[13.11.2021 20:32:26] Nymph-[Fae: ***(Amusement) "Never ask something that you do not wanted to know."***
[13.11.2021 20:32:30] HS>Alumbro: Any strange...er moves and you can contemplate the spirits from your escape pod.
[13.11.2021 20:32:37] HS>Tarxien: M: Holy.
[13.11.2021 20:33:29] HS>Tarxien: M: That is not human.
[13.11.2021 20:33:50] Nymph-[Fae: ***"Do not interfere to their plans. Thats all what i can say to you. Just as it was centuries ago."***
[13.11.2021 20:33:57] HS>Alumbro: Troubling, especially if it was speaking the truth about visiting Malta.
[13.11.2021 20:34:54] Nymph-[Fae: ***"I... Was here with peaceful observation. Do not make this harder. Yet, my time here is over. We shall meet again. Maybe..."
[13.11.2021 20:34:56] Nymph-[Fae: ***
[13.11.2021 20:35:29] HS>Alumbro: It's heading towards malta.
[13.11.2021 20:35:31] HS>Tarxien: M: Its getting away.
[13.11.2021 20:36:35] HS>Tarxien: M: It disappeared?
[13.11.2021 20:36:46] HS>Alumbro: Yes, that strange cloak again.
[13.11.2021 20:37:04] HS>Tarxien: M: I've reported to HQ. Our planet's security has been tightened.
[13.11.2021 20:37:12] HS>Alumbro: Excellent.
[13.11.2021 20:37:42] Nymph-[Fae: ***"Silly. You fighting against something that not even understand."***
[13.11.2021 20:37:58] HS>Alumbro: We understand much, abomination.
[13.11.2021 20:38:02] HS>Tarxien: M: That thing again! We need to stand guard here.
[13.11.2021 20:38:17] HS>Alumbro: Let's see how long it can hide.
[13.11.2021 20:39:08] HS>Tarxien: M: Check every ship docking. It has been on Malta. Anyone of our people can be infected now.
[13.11.2021 20:39:20] Nymph-[Fae: ***"Such cute to hear such word from a mutant. We both abominations for other humankind."***
[13.11.2021 20:39:42] HS>Alumbro: I'll not bandy words with a coward taunting from behind a cloak.
[13.11.2021 20:40:19] HS>Tarxien: M: Abomination? Dont confuse yourself. We are superior to other humans but you on the other hand...
[13.11.2021 20:40:28] Nymph-[Fae: ***"Taunting you? Non. Just answering on your try to har, my proud."***
[13.11.2021 20:40:41] Nymph-[Fae: //harm*
[13.11.2021 20:41:50] Nymph-[Fae: ***"As you are, mon amie - i am above humans at all. You would disagreed with me, but enlightening - it is the next step for
[13.11.2021 20:42:47] Nymph-[Fae: ***"How? If i cannot be sure that you would not raise your weapons on me?"***
[13.11.2021 20:42:48] HS>Marsaxlokk: M: This is Captain Marco Morales. We have been assigned to locate the cloaked ship.
[13.11.2021 20:43:02] HS>Marsaxlokk: M: Engaging cloak disruptor
[13.11.2021 20:43:05] Cloak Disruptor engaged. Cooldown: 90 seconds.
[13.11.2021 20:43:16] HS>Marsaxlokk: M: There it is. Catch it quick!
[13.11.2021 20:43:27] Nymph-[Fae: ?: Merde...
[13.11.2021 20:43:33] HS>Alumbro: Don't feel like talking now, abomination?
[13.11.2021 20:44:20] HS>Alumbro: We've seen plenty. I for one prefer to keep my own thoughts in my head.
[13.11.2021 20:47:55] HS>Marsaxlokk: M: It seems that ship got away. It's tech was something only the aliens possess. Report back to HQ Alumbro.
[13.11.2021 20:48:04] HS>Alumbro: Roger.

This incident is a breach of our security and defences. Necessary precautions are needed to ensure security of our planet and the system. The people that made contact with the alien would also need to be quarantined and observed. Also, this incident shows how big of a threat cloaked foes are. The cloak disruptor technology needs to be mass-produced which would contribute in strengthening our security and defences.
