Fellow commanders, executor Nagash,
As you already know, earlier today we've sent a research expedition to Omicron Lost to gather more scientific data for our projects. A freelancer flying the research vessel "Mycronius" offered his service to us.
By the time our batteries were running dry and we were about to leave, a small fleet of Auxesians flying Core capital ships appeared out of nowhere, accompanied by a Vagrant ship.
Quote from my ship's audio log:
Quote:[03.12.2021 12:58:08] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Fascinating.
[03.12.2021 12:58:20] DTR-CNS>Tavros: Eros: What's your interest with us, Auxo?
[03.12.2021 12:59:11] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Leaving, are we?
[03.12.2021 12:59:22] DTR-Nox: We have no business with you
[03.12.2021 12:59:33] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: A shame, because we have business with you.
[03.12.2021 13:00:09] DTR-Nox: I'm sure you'd love to chat
[03.12.2021 13:00:10] DTR-Nox: and all that
[03.12.2021 13:00:11] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Prep the cannons. Decimate them all.
[03.12.2021 13:00:11] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Target subdued.
[03.12.2021 13:00:14] DTR-Nox: oh well
[03.12.2021 13:00:16] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Weaponry online.
[03.12.2021 13:00:33] DTR-CNS>Aterrador: ?: Fire at will
[03.12.2021 13:00:35] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: You will go down like the vile degenerates you are.
[03.12.2021 13:00:37] Vagrant.Melia: "Much twilight, lingering in the wrong void."
[03.12.2021 13:00:46] Vagrant.Melia: "It will be taught."
[03.12.2021 13:00:55] DTR-CNS>Tavros: Eros: My weapons are too weak for this task
[03.12.2021 13:01:01] DTR-CNS>Aterrador: ?: All units make a run for it
[03.12.2021 13:01:28] Death: DTR-CNS>Aterrador was put out of action by A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith (Gun).
Most of us managed to escape, but above all we managed to secure the data we have gathered. We have suffered a heavy loss in this battle, a battleship and a gunboat, but the cost was worth it.
My gunboat ended up being blown up by those arrogant Auxesians.
Quote:[03.12.2021 13:11:17] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Did you forget we were killing you?
[03.12.2021 13:11:21] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Yes, we are still doing that.
[03.12.2021 13:11:31] Death: DTR-CNS>Tavros was put out of action by A/)-ACV-Achlys (Gun).
Luckily, they spared my escape pod, and Mycronius carried me to safety. The pilot of Mycronius later decided to join forces, and from now on will serve us aboard the DTR-CRV>Posidonius.
It was a strange, unexpected encounter, but the outcome ended up in our favor. With a research vessel in our fleet, we can now strive to develop our own brand of offensive and defensive weaponry, and construct bigger, better bases.
