Mission Report

05. Feb. 829

At the CO's request, I launched immediately for another fly-by of K1*.

On the way there, I encountered two Overwatch vessels - callsigns Lily and Dark Warrior -, who passed without so much as a greeting. Nothing out of the ordinary there. I approached the Prophet anomalies, where I found Vincent Abrams himself, the Auxesian Revenant, and two minor Nomad forms, one of the Adad-type and one of the Nammu-type. I remained cloaked and settled in to observe from a safe distance.

Abrams appeared to be completely unresponsive, his ship powered down. And just when the Nomads started communicating amongst the gathered group, the Overwatch vessels reappeared out of cloak, right on top of it all. I immediately advised them to retreat to a safe distance - advice that they of course chose to ignore. And just then, K1* started to show activity.

These new, unknown structures seemed to channel energy from the gravitational anomalies at K1*'s center, expending it in a sudden burst. Abrams was gone right away, presumably transported through the resulting gateway - like "Solemn," when he was caught in the anomalies' well.

Both Overwatch vessels started fooling around K1*, of course, ignoring any further warnings I offered. Lily managed to trigger the gateway, too. Followed promptly by Revenant, who decided to pursue Abrams as well. [Side note: Revenant was openly collaborating with the present Nomads.] Dark Warrior managed to escape the anomalies' gravitation pull, only to return immediately and - of course - pass through. Honestly, these people are hopeless. One of the Nomads, the Adad-form, followed through the gateway, as well, leaving only me and the Nammu-type warform to observe K1*. The alien managed to detect me and attempted communication, which I did my best to keep at a minimum.

I remained on overwatch for thirty minutes, waiting for any further activity or a return of the vessels that passed through the gateway, but in vain. Fuel running low and the dark matter storms growing more violent, I set course for [REDACTED] and vacated the area.

It seems Abrams was not exactly telling the truth when he spoke to "Solemn" about abandoning his activity in Kepler. However, something clearly was not right with him either - who in their right mind would power their ship down that close to the anomalies? Add to that the presence of Revenant and Nomads... I am afraid the CO's informant was telling the truth all along. I recommend we act on this ASAP. With any luck, the Overwatch operatives survived their adventure and can corroborate our intel.
