Operative: Special Operative, Michael Cantrell

Playing video log…

"This is Recon Operative Cantrell reporting in from Omicron Epsilon." The pilot, who is still firmly seated within the cockpit of his Dagger recon-fighter, salutes. His posture, however, makes it quite evident that he had been at the end of an increasingly exhausting flight. "I have just finished my assigned recon route through Omicron Xi and Planet Knossos' atmosphere. For the sake of proper protocol, I may be restating information already known to High Command and participating parties. According to navigational data gathered during the operation." With a simple button press, a simplified holographic depiction of the navigational data gathered from Knossos would be displayed. "As you can see, the system has two entry points: One would be by going directly through the planet's atmosphere in Omicron Xi, the other being a damaged Nomad gate further behind the derelict site when moving in from the primary entry point. While I understand that it was against protocol to move through a gate not listed in our database, it did send me straight to our backyard. Right into Omicron Beta."

"The main structure in the center of the system is surrounded by a dense debris field. Some of our capital ships might have problems navigating in there. The Horizon might squeeze through, but it will most likely pose a serious navigational hazard for the Altair. So my personal recommendation would be to have the entry team inserted via the Horizon. The structure is also surrounded by what appears to be a group of weapon platforms, all of them have been inactive, and it seems like they've been that way for a long time. There were other structures, but I have not been able to identify them. The interference of the storm also messed with the scanners, so I was unable to get anything conclusive, sorry sir."

…video log ends.

The relevant part of the log ends there, the remainder has been cut. As per navigational data gathered and Operative Cantrell's recommendation, the Altair has been deemed as unfit for this operation. Battleship Horizon will be fitted with boarding equipment to act as a staging ground for the expeditionary force until further notice. ORG assets are requested to steer clear of Omicron XI, further Recon ops launched into Planet Knossos will be conducted through the Gate in Omicron Beta.
