After Action Report

date: 15.06.34
rank & name: Lieutenant Freud, Roland ("Locksmith")
reporting from: Inverness system
ARR # 005

"Hell of a battle."

He pauses, briefly looking at the ship's interface before looking back at the camera.

"Freud here. Operation "Clavus Clavo Pellitur" was a success. We did everything exactly according to the script; Liberty did not expect to get hit so close to home. We have their fighter parts, their transport ship, and we gave them a nice slap across the face. The day is ours."

"However. Their men put up more resistance than expected. This was probably the longest fight I have ever taken part in. At first, when Tectarch West, Initiate Ralar and I engaged the escort fighters, and our marines on the "Draugr" under the command of Lieutenant Struikas boarded the transport, it seemed to me that everything was under control. Yet, Liberty's reinforcements arrived and would have torn us to shreds if not for Lieutenant Walters, Commander Rialto and Initiate Storm, who were just in time to support us."

"For most of the battle I was under fire from Jack Boehm. He sat firmly on my tail; all I could do was fire short bursts at priority targets before taking evasive action again."

"At the end of the battle, my ship was on fire and barely holding on, the comms were faulty, and yet the Defender prototype I personally assembled showed an excellent result in the first field test. On my old ship I would have been shot down and perhaps the battle would have ended differently. I also saw Commander Rialto's ship in only slightly better condition than my own. A testament to the tenacity of our opponents in their service to a corrupt regime and the best reminder of the risks we bear."

"You all showed what we are worth. As the one behind organizing this, I couldn't ask for more. And yet, of all of us, I would like to highlight the efforts of Lieutenant Struikas. Nothing we did that day would have mattered without his leadership in capturing that transport."

"This, however, is not all."

"After the op I lingered with Keeper Revenant at the Citadel. We suddenly detected the approach of unidentified objects... And before I could even get my bearings, we were attacked by some strange Nomads. Stranger than usual, that is. They didn't talk and preferred to attack right away. And they moved at such a speed that I could barely track their movements. Despite this, we managed to put them to flight. The pursuit attempt was unsuccessful due to their superior speed."

"Revenant called them 'sentinels'."

"Apparently, this attack was a consequence of the actions of a merc that calls himself 'Caliban'. We chased him all the way to Fontana, to his Xeno masters, where he found shelter."

"Then we checked out that anomaly in Ontario that was causing all the fuss recently. I don’t know why, but as I approached it, I felt two things. First, I wanted to get closer. Secondly, I experienced a severe headache. Hopefully Revenant and her people got something more out of this."

"As for this 'Caliban'... My honest recommendation? Eliminate if the opportunity presents itself. And entrust me with the wreckage of his ship. Perhaps I can get something useful out of it. Freud, out."
