Report from my routine patrol.

On my regular patrol through the Tau Border systems, I came across an Order terrorist, ROV-Amun. While I was in a Fighter and not armed with appropriate firepower to hunt a transport class vessel faster than it could flee in the direction of Gallia, the other oddities I found were. An Auxesian strike force consisting of a fighter, a gunboat, and a battleship were there, along with a Rogue and a Zoner, both in fightercraft. After the dispatching of the terrorist, I followed the strike group to a nearby Baxter anomaly, where Xenoforms performed some sort of dance maneuver. They were completely oblivious to outside input, including when the battleship opened fire. The Xenoforms were dispatched, after which the strike force activated a jump drive towards Bretonia.

In retrospect, I should have detained the Liberty Rogue, but I lost focus on them after the situation with the aliens.

The results of this patrol were three:

• The Auxesians assured me that these Xenoforms were different from previously encountered ones, and posed significant threat.
  
• I was given a name, Revenant, where I should direct further inquiries on these Xenoforms.
  
• The Rogue referenced zombies in reference to two people who remained unnamed. This at first appeared to be a joke, but the way in which they spoke about it did not seem to be a joking manor.
  

Attached are relevant audio logs and guncam images.

[14.04.2023 00:07:34] [R]-Double.Down: That was rude.
[14.04.2023 00:07:43] A/)-RV-Pentation: Seems we have an Order vessel in sight
[14.04.2023 00:07:44] ROV-Amun: Evasive manuvers.
[14.04.2023 00:08:06] [KNF]Ni.Kazu.Chidori.: What in the fresh and impressive hell...
[14.04.2023 00:08:28] [KNF]Ni.Kazu.Chidori.: Terrorist vessle, cut your engines and state your business.
[14.04.2023 00:08:37] ROV-Amun: [Silence]
[14.04.2023 00:08:56] A/)-RV-Pentation: So, an Order vessel?
[14.04.2023 00:09:03] [KNF]Ni.Kazu.Chidori.: That was a command, terrorist.
[14.04.2023 00:09:24] A/)-RV-Pentation: Very well. I have orders to destroy the vessel
[14.04.2023 00:09:31] A/)-Lazurith: Incoming.
[14.04.2023 00:09:32] A/)-RV-Pentation: Preparing main weapons. Targeting the Order vessel
[14.04.2023 00:10:01] A/)-Lazurith: Aggressing the terrorists.
[14.04.2023 00:10:19] [R]-Double.Down: Wait.
[14.04.2023 00:10:20] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Escort craft, disable the spy vessel. Detain any pods.
[14.04.2023 00:10:23] [R]-Double.Down: A Yacht?
[14.04.2023 00:10:36] [KNF]Ni.Kazu.Chidori.: A yacht hailing terrorist IFF, yes.
[14.04.2023 00:10:38] [R]-Double.Down: The fuck the Order get one of those?
[14.04.2023 00:10:52] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: That's really unusual... oh dear...
[14.04.2023 00:10:53] A/)-Lazurith: It's in gun range, Achlys. Shoot it.
[14.04.2023 00:10:58] Death: ROV-Amun was put out of action by A/)-RV-Pentation (Gun).

[14.04.2023 00:15:27] A/)-RV-Pentation: Right. They seem to be circling the Baxter anomaly
[14.04.2023 00:15:35] [R]-Double.Down: I'm just wondering what the Zoner was expecting.
[14.04.2023 00:15:52] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Maybe for 'em not to fly right into certain doom.
[14.04.2023 00:15:58] A/)-ACV-Achlys: O: Confirm on artillery order. Prepping sterilization method.
[14.04.2023 00:16:00] [R]-Double.Down: You'd be surprised.
[14.04.2023 00:16:08] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Let's see what these are made of.
[14.04.2023 00:16:33] [R]-Double.Down: Guess those aren't the talking kind then.
[14.04.2023 00:16:44] A/)-RV-Pentation: Maintaining safety distance, over
[14.04.2023 00:16:49] [KNF]Ni.Kazu.Chidori.: Xenoforms can talk?
[14.04.2023 00:16:51] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Barely any reaction. What are they so focused on?
[14.04.2023 00:17:02] A/)-Lazurith: Weaponry appears to be ineffective.
[14.04.2023 00:17:10] A/)-RV-Pentation: They are more focused on the anomaly than us, it seems
[14.04.2023 00:17:12] [R]-Double.Down: Sometimes.
[14.04.2023 00:17:18] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Yeah, in a manner of speaking.
[14.04.2023 00:18:13] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: They seem to be moving too fast. Ah, well, switch to close range.
[14.04.2023 00:18:14] [KNF]Ni.Kazu.Chidori.: Strange. Last time I witnessed Xenoforms, they didn't do much but attack.
[14.04.2023 00:18:48] [R]-Double.Down: They do that too.
[14.04.2023 00:19:14] A/)-RV-Pentation: Still no aggression on part of these targets
[14.04.2023 00:19:21] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Stay back.
[14.04.2023 00:19:41] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: It depends on a lotta things. Some are keen on killin', some aren't.
[14.04.2023 00:19:42] A/)-RV-Pentation: Right... that should be five clicks

[14.04.2023 00:26:11] A/)-Lazurith: Be thankful she's not here to give you a speech about human sorrow.
[14.04.2023 00:26:24] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Please no.
[14.04.2023 00:26:39] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: I've had too many in my diet.
[14.04.2023 00:26:41] [R]-Double.Down: By she you mean the other half dead zombie in my life?
[14.04.2023 00:26:47] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Honestly that Hazzard guy was a breath of fresh air...
[14.04.2023 00:27:06] [KNF]Ni.Kazu.Chidori.: Zombies?
[14.04.2023 00:27:11] A/)-Lazurith: You mean foul air.
[14.04.2023 00:27:17] [R]-Double.Down: Long story.
[14.04.2023 00:27:22] [KNF]Ni.Kazu.Chidori.: Liberty has invented zombies now as well?
[14.04.2023 00:27:37] [KNF]Ni.Kazu.Chidori.: While not surprising, one would at least think they'd consider consequences.

[14.04.2023 00:31:35] [KNF]Ni.Kazu.Chidori.: So, what is the case with these Xenoforms?
[14.04.2023 00:31:45] A/)-Lazurith: They are big and mean and stupid.
[14.04.2023 00:31:48] A/)-Lazurith: Avoid contact.
[14.04.2023 00:31:52] [KNF]Ni.Kazu.Chidori.: Also, what's the case with you, Auxesians?
[14.04.2023 00:31:54] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: And dead. Don't forget dead.
[14.04.2023 00:32:09] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: It would be wise if you avoid them. At all. They will mark you the moment they see you.
[14.04.2023 00:32:21] A/)-RV-Pentation: They pose a danger greater than what we have here
[14.04.2023 00:32:52] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: We're honestly lucky they were so inert. Those beams are no joke.
[14.04.2023 00:33:05] [R]-Double.Down: Oh right.
[14.04.2023 00:33:13] [R]-Double.Down: The fucks with the Zoner?
[14.04.2023 00:33:23] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: I live here, doofus.
[14.04.2023 00:33:31] [R]-Double.Down: My condolences then.
[14.04.2023 00:33:37] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Yeaaaah...
[14.04.2023 00:33:48] [KNF]Ni.Kazu.Chidori.: What kind of danger do these Xenoforms pose?
[14.04.2023 00:33:59] [R]-Double.Down: Danger of death?
[14.04.2023 00:34:08] A/)-Lazurith: Great. Extreme dangers.
[14.04.2023 00:34:13] [KNF]Ni.Kazu.Chidori.: Sorry, as opposed to regular Xenoforms.
[14.04.2023 00:34:39] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Kusari Naval asset, we would recommend you gain distance, for we are about to jump again.
[14.04.2023 00:34:48] [R]-Double.Down: Oh, fun.
[14.04.2023 00:34:54] [R]-Double.Down: Can I tag along?
[14.04.2023 00:35:02] [KNF]Ni.Kazu.Chidori.: Understood. Is there some way I can request information?
[14.04.2023 00:35:07] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: It wouldn't be nice of you to accidentally create a political dispute with your Bretonian friends, hm?
[14.04.2023 00:35:15] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: I would recommend you send a communication to Revenant.
[14.04.2023 00:35:25] 2023-04-14 00:35:24 SMT WARNING: A hyperspace breach is being opened by A/)-ACV-Achlys
