04. Mar. 829

Three weeks have passed since Abrams' assassination. We have vigilantly continued out observation of the Kepler system. The situation seems to have - as expected - calmed down. There has been no further notable activity around K1*, with the exception of the Liberty Insurgency flagship Harmony snooping around the vicinity. "Corax" reports that one of the two unknown structures around the trinary anomaly has vanished without a trace. Further indication that with Abrams' death the threat of the Sentinel gateway appears to have diminished.

The Unto Nightfall and her crew need a respite from this region. We have spent months remaining hidden in the midst of this awful dark matter storm, cut off from proper resupply and maintenance. With Kepler now seemingly returning to a more secure state, I believe it is time for us to depart - if only temporarily.

With command's approval, I have decided that the Unto Nightfall will redeploy out of the northern independent systems and make her way towards the Taus. There we may rendezvous with "Solemn" and further investigate the sudden appearance of Nomad forms in the region. Depending on how long we will be occupied there, we may yet turn south and return to the Omegas. Command recently lost contact with a team of headhunters; perhaps we will find out what happened to them.

Of course, I do not assume that the events in Kepler are over yet. "Corax" and "Veles" will remain in Kepler and Liberty to continue observation of the situation. We have also acquired fresh hyperspace coordinates in case we must return for an emergency. But for now, I dare be cautiously optimistic that we may have succeeded in thwarting the Sentinel threat...

For the time being.
