Bonjour Command,

The cruiser Dunois was on its designated patrol path around the Tau border until we received a request for assistance from the Saint Amant, originating from an unknown system, which we proceeded to follow. Arriving in the system, we found the Saint Amant pursuing a Maquisard ship deep into the system until the inhabitants swarmed and destroyed the ship in question. Both I and the CIC of the Saint Amant quickly left the system.

As we were returning to the Languedoc jump anomaly our sensors picked up a Gaian ship. The Dunois broke off and pursued the Gaian ship into the same system as the Maquisard was, that being Tau-61, my ship caught up to it. I will transmit the conversation.

Gaian encounter

The Dunois followed the Gaian carrying a sample of 500 units of Xeno relics in our hold. The Gaian proceeded to dock at the Order's battleship named Amenta. Shortly after the Gaian vessel moored, an Order pilot flying under the banner of Section 8 undocked. The conversation, which will be linked, featured the Order ship "Augur"|S8 recommending the destruction of the Xeno relics, quoting them as saying, "Better jettison and destroy them." However, they did confirm my suspicion that the Gaians were not working with the Order.

Order ship

We pulled back out of Tau-61 again as our long-range scanner detected multiple unknown objects approaching our location. The return to Languedoc was uneventful as we accompanied the Saint Amant on its regular patrol. Relatively quickly, the Saint Amant received communication from the Marquis d'Eguilly, reporting another Maquisard ship fleeing from Tau-61 as it was, for lack of a better word, hunted by two large alien forms. The creatures quickly destroyed the ship but did not show hostility towards us as they slowly returned to their, I presume, home system.

We once again set our course toward Gallia proper, only for the Battlecruiser Sisteron to report unusual alien activity in Orkney, to which we again responded. The entity that we encountered was beyond anything I could imagine; it was made of smoke and flew between my ship and the Saint Amant. Our two ships were reinforced by a Valor-class named GNS-Grande.Harmonie. The gaseous alien was joined by two large forms that looked similar to the ones that destroyed the Maquis ship.

The aliens were not hostile, so I decided to try to communicate with them. They responded somewhat positively and were willing to engage in their equivalent of talking. The one conducting most of the conversation sounded close to human, while the other form was more aggressive. It somehow assaulted the minds of everyone on board the Dunois. It tried to compel us to open fire on the GNS-Grande Harmonie. Some of my ship's crew succumbed to the aliens' mental assault. I was forced to execute my Gunnery Officer, while the marines on my ship managed to arrest those affected by the mental attack. Luckily for us, the alien ceased its assault on us. The "diplomacy" ended with them promising us an envoy. Since then, my crew and I have undergone psychological examinations; unfortunately, twenty-four of the ship's crew are now unfit for duty.

Command, I would recommend that we reach out to both the Order and the Technocracy of Auxo about the Nomads then we pull the information together.

With regards,
Eloise Aadeleine de Lefevre
