Reporting for duty.

As known most of Brigade assets was deployed in a light fightercrafts, such as mine Bastet Mk II, good for patroling, especially since Ontario is much calmer than Omicron Zeta a.k.a Hellpit. At the end of patrol TACOM at Atum informed about Auxo dangerously moving fast to an anomaly site at sector F4, and ordered to intercept. The new mission initially briefed to expect hostile fighter wings at max. Intel dropped the ball on that one — what I found was a full squadron of Auxo gunboats, heavily armed and operating with precision. These weren’t just scouts; they were packing enough firepower to level up a bunch of fighters.

They didn’t engage immediately, but their presence alone was enough to raise alarms. Auxo doesn’t send gunboats for a joyride — they were there for something big, and they weren’t planning to share. According to standard protocols - called for backup, but by the time reinforcements arrived, the situation had already gone hot. The Bastet held up, but those gunboats are no joke — shield-piercing weapons, advanced targeting systems, and enough armor to make some cruisers jealous.

Visual from E\V/-Seth: "Auxo gunboat caught on a guncam before explosion", March 19, 835 A.S.

That was clear Auxo wasn’t expecting us either, specially us to be such aggressive. The backup arrival turned the tide — our firepower and coordination forced Auxo to regroup. We managed to take down one of their gunboats, and that was enough to make them cut their losses. The remaining Auxo forces retreated, leaving the anomaly site behind.

Another visual: "Auxo gunboat destroyed", March 19, 835 A.S.

Eventually, since main objective of holding the perimeter accomplished, we returned to base. Obviously, we can’t afford another misstep like this, but, in my opinion, Auxo are the least threat in that region, their fast reaction to just retreat means they are not going into fight - what might cheer up our Xenos friends. Probably we won`t hear about them in near future.

Ah, and yes, just so OTD won`t be such bothered reading that report. After wrapping up the engagement with the Auxo gunboats (see above), we had the pleasure of running into a Lane Hacker who called herself ):--Bitconnect. She opened with the classic line, "What the heeeeeell," which, honestly, set the tone for the entire encounter. She claimed the Ontario system was "her house," which is amusing considering we’d just cleared out a squadron of Auxo gunboats from it. I advised her to leave the AO, but she decided to introduce herself instead. Apparently, she’s Chloe, and she rolls with some girls from the Ontario hackers. I told her I wasn’t interested and that I might have "better girls on Manhattan." She didn’t take that well. The banter continued, with her insisting she’s "not that kinda girl" and me responding with some classic jokes. My wingmen, Anubis and Serqet, seemed to enjoy the show. At one point, Anubis even laughed and called it a "nice one."

To her credit, she didn’t escalate things, though she did call us "real classy" as she left. I’ll take that as a compliment.
