Rheinland tour of Omicron Threat
I was assigned to guard the Rheinland delegation from Nomad attacks in Omicron Minor. While admiral solandros spoke to them about the Nomad threat I and a few others attacked lesser Nomad attack Forms in the area. After the meeting Admiral solandros decided to show the Rheinlanders that the Nomad threat posed. After I returned I was informed that a Larger Nomad Warform fleet had appeared and heavy damaged the escorting Order fleet. The outnumbered Order Fleet managed to buy enough time for the Rheinlanders to escape with the data of what they had seen.
Hopefully this were provide enough evidence for Rheinland to start taking this threat seriously.
[04.05.2024 20:25:48] [RM]Fr-Werner.Baumann: it is hard to imagine weapons capable of causing such effects
[04.05.2024 20:26:06] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: But why is this system so important?
[04.05.2024 20:26:19] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: You said it's the first line of defense. Again what?
[04.05.2024 20:26:27] Order|Solantheus: I suppose seeing is believing
[04.05.2024 20:26:37] Order|Solantheus: Please, follow me
[04.05.2024 20:26:40] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Wouldn't you rather stick closer to the Houses, and our industrial power
[04.05.2024 20:26:47] Order|CV-Seeker: Line of defense against Nomads, naturally.
[04.05.2024 20:27:07] Order|Solantheus: The Nomads are powerful yes, but their destructive power isn't the main reason they're a threat
[04.05.2024 20:27:20] Order|CV-Seeker: With all due respect, settling near Houses forces us to divert assets to combat those who deem us a terrorist threat.
[04.05.2024 20:27:35] Order|CV-Seeker: Toledo was both a hideout, and a forward operation base close to our real enemies.
[04.05.2024 20:27:52] Order|Solantheus: They can infect Humans, as you probably know. They use subterfuge to take positions of power to advance their agenda
[04.05.2024 20:28:01] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: If they are the enemy, then why aren't we learning about them in our tactics classes?
[04.05.2024 20:28:13] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Ugh, I've heard the rumors about Niemann
[04.05.2024 20:28:17] Order|Solantheus: The former Chancellor during the Nomad war being one such occurrence
[04.05.2024 20:28:19] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Every Rheinlander has
[04.05.2024 20:28:58] Order|CV-Seeker: Gate is in range.
[04.05.2024 20:28:59] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: It certainly fits. But could he just be another power-hungry madman?
[04.05.2024 20:29:15] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: That looks... Old
[04.05.2024 20:29:20] Order|Solantheus: We should be on alert, the Nomads tend to be a bit...protective of this area
[04.05.2024 20:29:29] Order|Solantheus: This was one of their jump gates before we destroyed it
[04.05.2024 20:29:31] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: My weapons are primed
[04.05.2024 20:29:33] Order|CV-Seeker: Priming weapons. Will keep the lesser warforms busy.
[04.05.2024 20:29:44] [RM]Fr-Werner.Baumann: that gate certainly looks...different to our gates..
[04.05.2024 20:29:45] Order|Solantheus: You asked why this system was the frontline? There's your answer
[04.05.2024 20:29:48] Order|CV-Seeker: Indeed. This gate is what Toledo had been guarding.
[04.05.2024 20:30:09] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: But with the gate destroyed, surely their access is closed? Right?
[04.05.2024 20:30:11] Order|Solantheus: And incase you're wondering where the Core obtain what Azurite gas they can get?
[04.05.2024 20:30:14] Order|Solantheus: Right here
[04.05.2024 20:30:25] Order|Solantheus: Salvaged from destroyed Nomad technology
[04.05.2024 20:30:27] Order|CV-Seeker: Its just one passage way of many.
[04.05.2024 20:30:38] Order|CV-Seeker: This is the only one we have managed to contain.
[04.05.2024 20:30:38] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Azurite. Rings a bell, but I can't really recall any obvious applications
[04.05.2024 20:30:54] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: So you are saying there are multiple gates out here, in this system?
[04.05.2024 20:31:06] Order|Solantheus: Pretty much anything that emulates Nomad technology to be honest, we're not fans.
[04.05.2024 20:31:22] Order|Solantheus: The Omicrons are littered with gates such as these, the trouble is finding them
[04.05.2024 20:31:28] Order|CV-Seeker: This is where we ended the original 801 A.S. conflict
[04.05.2024 20:31:29] Order|Solantheus: They're particularly difficult to take down as well
[04.05.2024 20:31:52] Order|Solantheus: Not that regular gates aren't mind you, but still
[04.05.2024 20:31:59] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: If the one in Beretania is anything to go by, we might cause another cataclysm out here if we take them all down
[04.05.2024 20:32:15] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Do you know where this system is in relation to the Sirius sector?
[04.05.2024 20:32:23] Order|CV-Seeker: You're in Omicron sector.
[04.05.2024 20:32:35] Order|Solantheus: Rest assured we are still in Sirius, albeit on its fringes
[04.05.2024 20:32:41] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Would really hate to wake up one day and see that, say, Kusari is no longer accessible by the network
[04.05.2024 20:32:56] Order|CV-Seeker: To be precise, we are galactic north of the Corsair Empire, and to the south of Maltese rogue state.
[04.05.2024 20:33:15] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Well, I suppose if you screw up, they'll be the first ones to know then...
[04.05.2024 20:33:19] Order|Solantheus: Kusari, Rheinland and Liberty all have connections of some sort to the Omicron systems, meaning they're the ones most at risk
[04.05.2024 20:33:22] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Can't say I'd be too upset about it
[04.05.2024 20:33:34] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Well, never mind then
[04.05.2024 20:33:45] Order|Solantheus: There are also several systems we are aware of that are entirely under Nomad control
[04.05.2024 20:33:48] Order|CV-Seeker: Even Corsairs deemed this area to be too inhospitable for their kind.
[04.05.2024 20:34:10] Order|CV-Seeker: The Order is the first to bring any kind of *order* to this region of space.
[04.05.2024 20:34:25] Order|Solantheus: Excuse the pun, humor is one of the few things we can actually afford here
[04.05.2024 20:34:41] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Well that's understandable. You gotta sleep at night somehow
[04.05.2024 20:35:06] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: So these nomad-controlled systems. I'm assuming you can't just go in and wreck their infrastructure?
[04.05.2024 20:35:13] Order|Solantheus: *laughs*
[04.05.2024 20:35:22] A bounty of $480 credits has been deposited into your account.
[04.05.2024 20:35:33] Order|Solantheus: Maybe a house military could do such a thing, but not without significant casualties and investees slipping past
[04.05.2024 20:35:39] Order|CV-Seeker: We are running somewhat regular schedule of reconnaissance to find the softest spots we can hurt.
[04.05.2024 20:35:44] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: When the Militar has an enemy, we send in a battlegroup. It may not all survive, but the job gets done
[04.05.2024 20:35:52] Order|CV-Seeker: However, as Solantheus says... we do not have entire might of a House to back us up with.
[04.05.2024 20:36:12] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I guess this would be a good reason to approach Rheinland, ja?
[04.05.2024 20:36:18] Order|Solantheus: Hit and run tactics, guerrilla warfare, that is the best one can do against the Nomads in their home turf at the moment
[04.05.2024 20:36:30] Order|Solantheus: To give an example to put things in perspective
[04.05.2024 20:36:50] Order|Solantheus: The Rheinland Bismarck is easily one of the toughest battleships known in the Houses correct?
[04.05.2024 20:37:01] Order|Solantheus: Even outside of patriotic beliefs, this is well known
[04.05.2024 20:37:10] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I can't think of a better one. The Gallic one maybe?
[04.05.2024 20:37:23] Order|Solantheus: The Nomads heavier assets are larger, tougher and more destructive
[04.05.2024 20:37:27] [RM]Fr-Werner.Baumann: our Bismarck is certainly one of the toughest and most powerful capital ships ever constructed by humans
[04.05.2024 20:37:28] Order|CV-Seeker: These two are more or less human equivalents of the Nomad dreadnoughts.
[04.05.2024 20:37:41] Order|Solantheus: Fortunately they are less mobile too, so we have that to our advantage at least
[04.05.2024 20:38:08] Order|Solantheus: And their systems have more than a handful of them
[04.05.2024 20:38:30] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Well, I know our forces engaged some large nomad forms. That's all I'm willing to share right now
[04.05.2024 20:38:39] Order|Solantheus: We are aware
[04.05.2024 20:38:42] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: They sure make you shit your pants, but they can be beaten
[04.05.2024 20:38:51] Order|CV-Seeker: What your typically engaged with are stragglers and blockade runners that made it past us.
[04.05.2024 20:38:55] Order|Solantheus: We try to keep the fights here in the Omicrons, but sometimes Nomads slip past us
[04.05.2024 20:39:00] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I guess it's just another Tuesday out here for you people
[04.05.2024 20:39:05] Order|Solantheus: That's when you can occasionally see our agents in House space
[04.05.2024 20:39:20] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Stragglers... right
[04.05.2024 20:39:42] Order|Solantheus: Doesn't help with the Core and Outcasts biting at our heels mind you
[04.05.2024 20:39:48] Order|Solantheus: Hence the ceasefire with the Corsairs
[04.05.2024 20:39:49] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I'd want to see a real nomad battlegroup then. Preferably when I'm in my trusty Revenant
[04.05.2024 20:40:09] Order|Solantheus: Fighting three groups at once was a little too ambitious, even for us
[04.05.2024 20:40:14] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: The Corsairs, ja. I know Admiral Henze was particularly insistent
[04.05.2024 20:40:25] Order|CV-Seeker: You'd make a fine Order pilot if you carry this altitude when such a battlegroup shows up
[04.05.2024 20:40:32] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: We've got no problem with a ceasefire, but I've seen reports of direct assistance
[04.05.2024 20:40:50] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Mainly when we raided their assets in Xi, before the Munich fiasco
[04.05.2024 20:41:01] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: But I guess there's not much reason bringing up old news
[04.05.2024 20:41:07] Order|Solantheus: Any direct assistance would be a pilot acting on their own accord, we'd be very interested in any such information
[04.05.2024 20:41:25] Order|Solantheus: Unless, of course, against the Core, Outcasts or Nomads
[04.05.2024 20:41:28] Order|CV-Seeker: We do not condone assaulting vessels that had done us no harm
[04.05.2024 20:41:30] Order|Solantheus: We consider those mutual threats at this point
[04.05.2024 20:41:33] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I'll pass it along. Henze can be stingy with intel, but I'm sure he'd be willing to trade
[04.05.2024 20:42:03] Order|Solantheus: It's ironic come to think of it
[04.05.2024 20:42:12] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I'd suggest you leave the Core for the time being. That's be one tough knot to unravel
[04.05.2024 20:42:26] Order|Solantheus: Rheinland is partly protected from the Nomad threat by the Corsairs of all people
[04.05.2024 20:42:27] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Thank die gotter I am only a Korporal, heheh
[04.05.2024 20:42:32] Order|Solantheus: Mostly due to geographical location, of course
[04.05.2024 20:42:42] Order|CV-Seeker: I am afraid we cannot leave 'Core'. They're technically the invaders here.
[04.05.2024 20:42:42] Order|Solantheus: Well...siriusgraphical location?
[04.05.2024 20:43:09] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I understand. But the Corsairs aren't content to sit idly by and defend their borders against the Nomads
[04.05.2024 20:43:15] Order|Solantheus: We don't expect Rheinland to take any action on the Core, I doubt any House would even if they fully acknowledged what was
[04.05.2024 20:43:17] Order|CV-Seeker: The Order was the first to chart and settle those stars. Core came at our heels trying to pry its secrets.
[04.05.2024 20:43:17] Order|Solantheus: going on here
[04.05.2024 20:43:21] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: So either they're not as big of a threat, or these people truly are crazy
[04.05.2024 20:43:48] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Listen, if you've got intel about the Core doing some really bad stuff, Henze will be interested
[04.05.2024 20:43:54] Order|CV-Seeker: Not even Corsairs are enough to put a dent in Nomads.
[04.05.2024 20:44:01] Order|Solantheus: And on the other side of the Omicrons you have the Outcasts, a portion of who'm actively worship the Nomads
[04.05.2024 20:44:07] Order|Solantheus: So you know, fun times all around in the Omicrons
[04.05.2024 20:44:10] Order|CV-Seeker: For starters, Corsairs are knee deep in shit of their own accord.
[04.05.2024 20:44:15] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Sounds like you should be convincing them to join your fight, instead of taking on our ships
[04.05.2024 20:44:29] Order|Epsilon-5: The only reason we currently stand a fighting chance against whatever slips through the cracks, is because we maintain a -
[04.05.2024 20:44:38] Order|Epsilon-5: quarantine zone around their main points of entry.
[04.05.2024 20:44:44] Order|Epsilon-5: And we shoot down whatever comes through.
[04.05.2024 20:45:00] Order|CV-Seeker: Or well, trying to. Everyone in miltiary gets to learn that plans dont always survive encounter with enemy.
[04.05.2024 20:45:04] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Makes sense. We do somethign similar within Rheinland
[04.05.2024 20:45:12] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: And how are you able to keep watch on these points?
[04.05.2024 20:45:22] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I'm assuming Toledo wasn't your only base of operations
[04.05.2024 20:45:27] Order|Epsilon-5: We maintain constant patrols around the quarantine zone.
[04.05.2024 20:45:32] Order|Solantheus: If it was, we wouldn't be around anymore
[04.05.2024 20:45:47] Order|CV-Seeker: Aggressive reconnaissance. Most of our forces are bound in Omicrons for this reason.
[04.05.2024 20:45:50] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: So, resupply? Repairs?
[04.05.2024 20:46:11] Order|Solantheus: Needless to say we enforce the quarantine zone for our own agents as well. A lone ship entering Nomad space and coming back
[04.05.2024 20:46:19] Order|CV-Seeker: We have our sources in Houses and the Border Worlds. However not everyone will know the full extend of our network
[04.05.2024 20:46:20] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I'm assuming the nomads wouldn't be too happy about having depots in this area of operations
[04.05.2024 20:46:23] Order|CV-Seeker: For security reasons, of course.
[04.05.2024 20:46:25] Order|Solantheus: alive is, well, highly suspect at best, and almost guaranteed to be infected
[04.05.2024 20:46:48] Order|CV_Khufu: was that a cloak sound effect?!?
[04.05.2024 20:46:56] Order|Epsilon-5: The only insertions into Nomad space tend to be in force. With capital-class vessels for support.
[04.05.2024 20:46:57] Order|Solantheus: didn't hear it
[04.05.2024 20:47:07] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Listen, I get it. People can get infected. Same can happen with renegade Militar
[04.05.2024 20:47:25] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: So where are you maintaining these vessels?.
[04.05.2024 20:47:49] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: That is the primary reason for this "tour". Henze wants to know your capabilities, and your buy-in
[04.05.2024 20:48:02] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I've got enough to make him think really hard about all this, I know it
[04.05.2024 20:48:26] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: But thus far, this all sounds like one hell of a scary story to justify your actions
[04.05.2024 20:48:30] Order|Solantheus: We have several stations spread throughout the Omicrons, as well as House space, to help keep an eye on things
[04.05.2024 20:48:50] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Well mein Herr, why don't we visit one such place?
[04.05.2024 20:49:11] Order|CV-Seeker: The only reason we can maintain our vessels is that we've hid those facilites well.
[04.05.2024 20:49:23] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I've got no clue where we are right now. My databanks are only useful in what they show, not for their nav
[04.05.2024 20:49:25] Order|Solantheus: I know you mean no insult, but please keep in mind we're flying in a literal graveyard of our people, not some scary story
[04.05.2024 20:49:44] Order|Solantheus: And I do mean our people, plenty Rheinlanders died that day
[04.05.2024 20:49:57] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Listen, I saw as many Core as Order out here. No Nomads though
[04.05.2024 20:50:01] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Just the small fry
[04.05.2024 20:50:09] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: But I guess those things don't leave "corpses"
[04.05.2024 20:50:15] Order|Solantheus: Not quite no
[04.05.2024 20:50:16] Order|CV-Seeker: Indeed. Organic matter.
[04.05.2024 20:50:19] [RM]Fr-Werner.Baumann: well I get that, but so far we are only seeing a handle of fighter-sized nomads, don't seem to be of much concern
[04.05.2024 20:50:33] Order|Epsilon-5: Nomads tend to leave little traces once they blow up. And the organic matter degrades over time.
[04.05.2024 20:50:45] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: The issue is, either we need to see what you're really up against. Or we need to see your own assets, and therefore commitment
[04.05.2024 20:51:33] [RM]Fr-Werner.Baumann: for all we know, the ships here could be all that's left, against some small random flies
[04.05.2024 20:51:38] Order|CV-Seeker: Entering those locations may prove a bit of a challenge.
[04.05.2024 20:51:42] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: *Beist sighs deeply*. Look, Herr Solandros. I've got an offer I was instructred to disclose
[04.05.2024 20:51:47] Order|CV-Seeker: Is our ride capable of doing another jump?
[04.05.2024 20:52:01] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I can stay here, for as long as you need
[04.05.2024 20:52:10] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: After getting all the data for the Admiral
[04.05.2024 20:52:38] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: So if there's nav hints in there, I won't be getting back with them unless you want me to
[04.05.2024 20:52:49] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: And I'll send over the dispositional parameters
[04.05.2024 20:52:57] Order|Solantheus: hmm
[04.05.2024 20:53:51] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: So, what do you think, mein herr?
[04.05.2024 20:54:07] Order|Solantheus: I don't particularly like it, but as I said before seeing is believing
[04.05.2024 20:54:24] Order|CV-Seeker: I would personally preffer that you record messages to be sent to Rheinland in event we are unable to recover your escape pods.
[04.05.2024 20:54:24] Order|Epsilon-5: Or we can just roam about, towards major, avoiding major traffic, and show them the caps in major
[04.05.2024 20:54:28] Order|CV-Seeker: Just in case.
[04.05.2024 20:54:41] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: The data banks of our ships would suffice
[04.05.2024 20:54:46] Order|Epsilon-5: Words clearly wont convince them
[04.05.2024 20:54:51] Order|Solantheus: We'll take you into the quarantine area, though we'll need to await the arrival of one of our heavier assets
[04.05.2024 20:54:55] Order|Solantheus: Please follow me
[/color]
[04.05.2024 21:00:08] Order|CV-Montana: C: Admiral we are on route as you requested
[04.05.2024 21:03:20] Order|CV-Montana: C: hello brother
[04.05.2024 21:03:43] Order|CV-Calamity: Bridge: Hello other brother.
[04.05.2024 21:04:17] Order|Solantheus: What's the ETA on our heavy assets?
[04.05.2024 21:04:31] Order|CV-Montana: C: entering system now Sir
[04.05.2024 21:04:38] Order|CV-Calamity: Bridge: We just entered the system.
[04.05.2024 21:05:14] [RM]Fr-Werner.Baumann: can't make any sense of the transponder signal
[04.05.2024 21:05:19] Order|CV-Seeker: I will turn you into mincemeat if you dare, infected.
[04.05.2024 21:05:34] Lazurith: They really are just like T-Rex. I just need to stand still, and I won't exist to them at all.
[04.05.2024 21:05:42] Order|CV-Seeker: Flying without functioning IFF is a death sentence out here.
[04.05.2024 21:05:53] Order|Solantheus: Could be Kusari office of Intelligence perhaps
[04.05.2024 21:05:58] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: That's something to suggest to the Ministry of the Interior, heheh
[04.05.2024 21:06:00] Order|Solantheus: Though they tend to announce themselves
[04.05.2024 21:06:05] Suiko|Tonbo-7: Infected? No. Just a Kusarian long range patrol.
[04.05.2024 21:06:18] Suiko|Tonbo-7: Are you always so jumpy?
[04.05.2024 21:06:29] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: My people will back you up if necessary
[04.05.2024 21:06:31] Order|Solantheus: If you truely were a Kusari patrol, you'd know that
[04.05.2024 21:06:42] [RM]Fr-Werner.Baumann: a lone patrol ship, into this far remote space? not even flying in a wing? that's quite reckless even for Kusari
[04.05.2024 21:06:45] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Leutnant, suggest we let the Order call the shots for now
[04.05.2024 21:06:50] Order|CV-Montana: C: we are here admiral
[04.05.2024 21:06:51] Order|CV-Seeker: Montana and Calamity. Please sparhead our assault.
[04.05.2024 21:07:16] Order|Solantheus: I suggest you return and get briefed on the Omicrons before taking another patrol this far out, assuming your story checks out
[04.05.2024 21:07:21] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: We're ready when you are
[04.05.2024 21:07:34] Order|CV-Calamity: Bridge: Roger that. All hands, set course to the quarantine zone. Bring the ship up to combat alert alpha. Prepare for -
[04.05.2024 21:07:36] Order|CV-Calamity: hostile contacts.
[04.05.2024 21:07:37] [RM]Obl-Karl.Holzner: Fascinating vessels.
[04.05.2024 21:07:44] Order|Solantheus: Entering the quarantine zone
[04.05.2024 21:08:04] Order|CV-Montana: C: all hands we are moving into deep Nomad territory be ready
[04.05.2024 21:08:09] Order|Solantheus: Kusari vessel, if you follow us we will open fire. This is a quarantine zone for a reason.
[04.05.2024 21:08:12] Order|CV-Calamity: Bridge: Impulse speed. Spare the reactor.
[04.05.2024 21:08:25] Suiko|Tonbo-7: And you are willing to let the Rheinlanders follow you?
[04.05.2024 21:08:30] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Mein gott, it's another one of those gates
[04.05.2024 21:08:31] Order|CV-Seeker: I will jump ahead, then the dreadnoughts.
[04.05.2024 21:08:35] Order|Solantheus: They have quite a few more numbers with them
[04.05.2024 21:08:36] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: This one looks functional though
[04.05.2024 21:08:50] Order|CV-Calamity: Bridge: It is functional.
[04.05.2024 21:08:51] Order|Solantheus: Indeed, as I said, another frontline system
[04.05.2024 21:08:56] [RM]Fr-Werner.Baumann: confirmed, reading some weird energy signature from that gate
[04.05.2024 21:09:11] Order|Solantheus: We'll wait for our heavy assets to confirm the other side is safe
[04.05.2024 21:09:14] Order|CV-Calamity: Bridge: Seeker, status?
[04.05.2024 21:09:20] Order|CV-Seeker: The usual. Static defenses
[04.05.2024 21:09:30] Order|Solantheus: Consider this your last warning Kusari vessel
[04.05.2024 21:09:34] Order|CV-Seeker: Proceed to jump
[04.05.2024 21:09:40] Order|CV-Seeker: I will try to draw fire
[04.05.2024 21:09:59] Order|CV-Calamity: Bridge: Jump complete.
[04.05.2024 21:10:09] Order|CV-Montana: C: damn things, shields down
[04.05.2024 21:10:14] Order|CV-Seeker: Take our guest to safe distance, will you?
[04.05.2024 21:10:27] [RM]Fr-Werner.Baumann: all sensor reading scrambled! this is no normal gates
[04.05.2024 21:10:43] Order|Solantheus: Bah weapon platforms
[04.05.2024 21:10:46] [RM]Obl-Karl.Holzner: Heavy flak, evade.
[04.05.2024 21:10:50] [RM]Fr-Werner.Baumann: jump complete...if we could even call that a jump
[04.05.2024 21:11:03] Order|CV-Calamity: Bridge: Rendezvous on us.
[04.05.2024 21:11:07] Order|Solantheus: Take position by the heavy assets
[04.05.2024 21:11:09] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I'm getting a lot of strange readings
[04.05.2024 21:11:23] Order|Solantheus: We've dubbed this system Omicron Iota
[04.05.2024 21:11:29] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: This Kusarian jumped!
[04.05.2024 21:11:38] Order|CV-Seeker: Consider that Kusarian to be hostile from now on.
[04.05.2024 21:11:40] Order|CV-Montana: Sir Suiko fllowed us
[04.05.2024 21:11:40] Order|CV-Calamity: Bridge: They have their own tradelane network, but it is heavily guarded.
[04.05.2024 21:11:44] Order|Solantheus: That all but confirms it
[04.05.2024 21:11:56] Order|CV-Montana: Nomad weapons are not tracking it
[04.05.2024 21:12:00] Order|CV-Seeker: Kusarian intelligence doesn't venture that far out.
[04.05.2024 21:12:16] [RM]Fr-Werner.Baumann: nor I doubt the nomad wouldn't shoot at kusari intelligence
[04.05.2024 21:12:20] Order|Solantheus: A live example of a Nomad infectee
[04.05.2024 21:12:35] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Interesting
[04.05.2024 21:12:39] Order|CV-Seeker: The annoying kind.
[04.05.2024 21:12:43] Order|Solantheus: Please stay close to the heavy capital ships
[04.05.2024 21:12:45] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I guess them being here confirms a good deal
[04.05.2024 21:12:49] Suiko|Tonbo-7: I was simply out of range of the Nomad defences as you also were.
[04.05.2024 21:12:52] Order|Solantheus: We're intruding in Nomad space, they'll no doubt engage soon
[04.05.2024 21:13:01] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Listen, if you'd like to pull out, make the call
[04.05.2024 21:13:04] Suiko|Tonbo-7: Bringing in all kinds of assumptions today.
[04.05.2024 21:13:12] Order|Solantheus: Your story is bogus, the defense platforms reach the gate
[04.05.2024 21:13:14] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I think this is enough for the Admiral
[04.05.2024 21:13:14] Order|CV-Seeker: Show them one of the installations as a taste?
[04.05.2024 21:13:27] Order|Solantheus: Negative, lets pull back
[04.05.2024 21:13:29] Suiko|Tonbo-7: Apparently not, or I would have been shot no?
[04.05.2024 21:13:39] Order|Solantheus: Being spotted this soon is a bad omen
[04.05.2024 21:13:41] Suiko|Tonbo-7: Thats a pretty vague accusation to be an infectee.
[04.05.2024 21:14:02] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: This thing is probably calling in reinforcements as we speak
[04.05.2024 21:14:02] Order|Solantheus: Except the platforms reached the gate.
[04.05.2024 21:14:06] Order|CV-Seeker: I preffer Nomads over Wild. They dont have mouths to shit-talk.
[04.05.2024 21:14:16] Order|Solantheus: Indeed, turn route to the gate
[04.05.2024 21:14:43] Order|CV-Calamity: Bridge: AT least this should give you a good idea of what lurks beyond our quarantine.
[04.05.2024 21:14:51] Order|Solantheus: A prime example of how infectees will spin tales in an attempt to avoid being uncovered
[04.05.2024 21:14:55] Order|Solantheus: no matter how poor their stories
[04.05.2024 21:14:56] Order|CV-Seeker: This is merely the vanguard of Nomad space. One we mapped fairly well.
[04.05.2024 21:14:59] Suiko|Tonbo-7: Is this how you treat all outsiders?
[04.05.2024 21:15:25] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I think we've seen enough to bring back. I'm getting a really bad feeling about this
[04.05.2024 21:15:34] Order|CV-Calamity: Bridge: You and me both.
[04.05.2024 21:15:37] Order|CV-Montana: C: Sir keep in mind the longer we are here the more power warforms will take notice
[04.05.2024 21:15:39] Order|Solantheus: We believed you might be a Human up until the weapons didn't shoot at you, I have no idea why you are bothering to keep up this
[04.05.2024 21:15:40] Order|Solantheus: farse
[04.05.2024 21:15:56] [RM]Fr-Werner.Baumann: agreed, this place gives me the creep
[04.05.2024 21:15:56] Order|CV-Calamity: Bridge: We got a heavy asset incoming. All hands, on alert.
[04.05.2024 21:15:57] Order|CV-Seeker: What I can divulge is this. While materials are something you saw in Minor, this thing is not ancient.
[04.05.2024 21:15:57] Order|CV-Montana: C: conatact Warfrom
[04.05.2024 21:16:11] Order|Solantheus: Affirmative, powering weapons

[04.05.2024 21:16:35] Order|Solantheus: Rheinlanders, make for the gate
[04.05.2024 21:16:36] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I read it
[04.05.2024 21:16:43] [RM]Fr-Werner.Baumann: full burn to the gate
[04.05.2024 21:16:46] Order|CV-Montana: copy we have your back
[04.05.2024 21:16:46] Order|CV-Seeker: Its best to pick a fight on our side of the gate, if possible.
[04.05.2024 21:16:53] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Not interested in sticking around, ja
[04.05.2024 21:16:58] Order|CV-Calamity: Bridge: Gunners, target the cruiser. Be prepared to open fire if it gets closer.
[04.05.2024 21:16:59] Order|CV-Seeker: I will stay behind to cover our heavy battleships
[04.05.2024 21:17:09] Order|CV-Montana: weapons charged
[04.05.2024 21:17:12] Order|CV-Montana: locked on

[04.05.2024 21:18:16] [OOC] [RM]Fr-Werner.Baumann: should I say I picked up your escape pod?
