Followed up on Vespucci assignment, arrived to RV point noticing a colourful assortment of individuals... but none of my wingmates present. The company paid me no mind as I assumed idling position some distance away from marked installations.
However, situation have escalated quickly as the apparent subject of our search - the INS Arcturus - arrived on scene and released a wing of fighters under the Watchdog designation. Remarkably, they've ignored all present and went straight to engage the manufacturing facility they had marked as a derelict installation, only reacting to Legionnaire craft closing in and enabling weapon systems. A short-lived skirmish ensued where INS-Arcturus, already battered, lost it's shielding to withering fire and took several torpedo hits to port and starboard, which overloaded it's systems and drove it into field maintenance routines.
Hostile fighter wing was steadily disabled afterwards. Not without casualties, as Beta 4 fell to combined fire of these drones but overall, they appeared to be an outdated combat machine intelligence. With these vessels disabled or taken into custody - Incursus arrived on scene after situation deescalated and performed boarding and search action on Arcturus - this concludes the report, and likely our assignment there. I shall remain a little longer before departing for Valravn.
