Action Report:Operations in Omicron Mu and Omicron Zeta Vessel:Gunboat Myrtel Commander:Captain Galatea
Overview:
The past weeks have been marked by intense combat operations across Omicron Mu and Omicron Zeta. The *Myrtel* and her crew have been at the forefront of these engagements, facing threats from both the Core and the Infected. Below is a summary of our actions and observations during this critical period.
### Omicron Mu: Defense of Fort Carthage
1. Initial Engagement:
The *Myrtel* was deployed to Fort Carthage following reports of an impending assault by the Infected battleship *Hakodate*. The vessel, a legendary threat, had revealed itself in a brazen attack on our fortifications.
2. Trap and Counterattack:
As anticipated, the *Hakodate* fell into a carefully laid trap. The *Myrtel* coordinated with allied forces to surround the Infected battleship, launching a full-scale assault. Despite heavy resistance and significant losses on our side, the *Hakodate* was ultimately destroyed. Its purging marks a major victory for the Order and secures the safety of Fort Carthage.
3. Strategic Impact:
With the *Hakodate* eliminated, the Blood Dragons can now resume their shipments to Planet Akabat without interference. This victory has bolstered morale and reinforced our alliance with the Blood Dragons.
### Omicron Zeta: Core AI Threat and Cairo Station
1. Core Mobilization:
Intelligence indicated that the Core had amassed a significant force in Omicron Zeta, centered around the Battleship *Mars*. This vessel, heavily modified with advanced AI technologies, led a swarm of corrupted AI drones. Their objective appeared to be a demonstration of their AI capabilities, targeting Cairo Station as a high-value prize.
2. *Myrtel*'s Role:
The *Myrtel* was tasked with reconnaissance and disruption operations. We engaged Core patrols and intercepted several AI drone formations, gathering critical data on their behavior and weaknesses. Our efforts delayed the Core's advance, buying time for Cairo Station to reinforce its defenses.
3. Unexpected Turn of Events:
During the engagement, the Core's AI units experienced a cascading malfunction. The *Mars* and its drones turned on each other, resulting in significant losses for the Core. This unexpected development allowed us to launch a counteroffensive, destroying the Cruiser *Pomphei* and the Battlecruiser *Orion*.
4. Current Status:
While the immediate threat to Cairo Station has been mitigated, the Core's presence in Omicron Zeta remains a concern. The *Myrtel* is currently assisting in fortifying the station and monitoring Core movements.
### Broader Implications:
1. Core's AI Experimentation:
The Core's use of sentient AI, despite pan-Colony treaties banning such technology, represents a grave escalation. Their willingness to deploy these abominations against fellow humans underscores their disregard for ethical boundaries.
2. Nomad Silence:
The absence of Nomad activity during these engagements is deeply concerning. Veterans among the crew, myself included, recall the eerie calm before the Fall of Toledo. We must remain vigilant and prepare for their inevitable return.
3. Wild and KOI Movements:
The Wild's manipulation of Kusari forces, particularly their focus on Carthage Capital Yards, suggests a coordinated effort to exploit our stretched resources. The *Myrtel* will remain on high alert for any signs of Infected or Wild incursions.
Conclusion:
The *Myrtel* and her crew have performed admirably under extreme pressure, securing key victories in both Omicron Mu and Omicron Zeta. However, the challenges ahead are immense. The Core's AI threat, the Wild's machinations, and the looming Nomad resurgence demand a unified and decisive.
