Our bomber wing, composed of myself aboard the TFP)-Beta-7, Commander Carmine aboard the TFP)-Carmine and the TFP)-Hurricane,jointly crewed by Commander Struikas as pilot and Lieutenant Yoruha serving as WSO deployed to intercept and eliminate a hostile AI contact in the Inverness system.Soon after we deployed,Commander Struikas assumed control of the interception unit.
The vessel was identified as a Mako-class capital ship exhibiting aggressive behavioral patterns and an unregistered IFF signature.
Initial attempts at communication with the AI were fruitless. The vessel opened fire unprovoked. Under Struikas's lead, the unit coordinated bombing runs with measured discipline. Despite facing heavy counter-fire, morale and formation were maintained.Lieutenant Yoruha managed to target the main systems.Commander Carmine offered steady support, backing coordinated strafes and keeping the right flank secure.
During the peak of the engagement, Hurricane suffered catastrophic damage. Commander Struikas’s last known transmission—“Burn, you sonnuva bitch!”—was broadcasted seconds before loosing contact with the vessel. Immediately afterward, distorted comms relayed: “We’re pretty eff’d up here... heading back to base. Good job everyone... Yoru... next time, don’t insist we commit that hard.” The vessel was lost, but escape protocols were triggered, and WSO Yoruha was recovered safely.
The Mako was ultimately destroyed through sustained focused strikes. Sensor readings confirm total hull failure and AI core destabilization. Debris was scattered across the sector.
A Xeno-affiliated vessel present in the area unexpectedly turned its attention toward the Mako as well. While it briefly joined the engagement, the pilot refrained from targeting our forces. Following the Mako’s destruction, the Xeno transmitted several disillusioned remarks regarding his own movement’s leadership. No further aggression followed. The vessel retreated toward Ontario and exited scanner range.
All TFP assets, aside from Struikas's vessel, returned without further damage.

[25.06.2025 05:00:17] Hayden.Kramer: Guess that's what it takes to get the gang out.

[25.06.2025 05:01:09] TFP)-Carmine: Get in range then.
[25.06.2025 05:01:11] TFP)-Hurricane: Rally me
[25.06.2025 05:01:18] Hayden.Kramer: Guessing you lot know this thing, then.
[25.06.2025 05:01:24] TFP)-Carmine: Unfortunately.
[25.06.2025 05:01:30] Hayden.Kramer: Small world.
[25.06.2025 05:01:45] AIWV-Helios: [:: This Xeno said I couldn't hunt Order terrorists. ::]
[25.06.2025 05:01:50] AIWV-Helios: [:: What a foolish meatbag. ::]
[25.06.2025 05:01:50] TFP)-Carmine: Small annoyance. You shouldn't be here, but this thing is a priority. Either shoot it or stay back.
[25.06.2025 05:01:58] Hayden.Kramer: I said I wouldn't allow you to.
[25.06.2025 05:02:07] TFP)-Hurricane: Y: A Schizophrenic Gammu-based AI. facinating.
[25.06.2025 05:02:08] Hayden.Kramer: I can't rightly stop you from trying.
[25.06.2025 05:02:09] TFP)-Carmine: You must be rather quiet then.
[25.06.2025 05:02:21] TFP)-Carmine: Then the lots are cast.
[25.06.2025 05:02:25] AIWV-Helios: [:: ALERT: Viscon on hostile ship(s). Powering weapon systems. ::]

[25.06.2025 05:02:47] TFP)-Carmine: Go fight the Mako, I'll stall the Xeno

[25.06.2025 05:10:38] TFP)-Carmine: 56 bats
[25.06.2025 05:10:46] TFP)-Carmine: will boost again
[25.06.2025 05:11:14] TFP)-Hurricane lost a fight with AIWV-Helios(100%)
[25.06.2025 05:11:17] AIWV-Helios: [:: WARNING: Hull integrity critical. Abort mission. ::]
[25.06.2025 05:11:24] Hayden.Kramer: Damn. [25.06.2025 05:11:28] AIWV-Helios's reactor went critical in battle against TFP)-Beta.7(33%)
[25.06.2025 05:11:28] Assisted by: TFP)-Carmine(31%), TFP)-Hurricane(18%) [25.06.2025 05:11:28] TFP)-Hurricane: F: Burn, you sonnuva bitch!
[25.06.2025 05:11:29] TFP)-Carmine: *Sigh* That machine never learns.
[25.06.2025 05:11:32] AIWV-Helios: [:: I will return, terrorists. ::]
[25.06.2025 05:11:43] TFP)-Beta.7: regrouping.
[25.06.2025 05:11:53] TFP)-Carmine: Well that was that. Now if you'll tell me what you're doing over here, Xeno?
[25.06.2025 05:12:01] TFP)-Hurricane: F: *static* We're pretty eff'd up here.. heading back to base. Good job everyone... Yoru... next time, don't insist we commit
[25.06.2025 05:12:03] TFP)-Hurricane: that hard..
[25.06.2025 05:12:03] TFP)-Carmine: You know your kind isn't particularly welcome around these parts.
[25.06.2025 05:12:11] Hayden.Kramer: Uh huh.
[25.06.2025 05:12:34] Hayden.Kramer: Been scolding that thing since Coronado.
[25.06.2025 05:13:05] TFP)-Carmine: Ah, understandable business. We've been having a wide menu of it and it again for a while now.
[25.06.2025 05:13:05] Tip: Be careful when picking out the ID for your character. Generic IDs offer much more freedom, but are severely limited in terms of combat as well as the size of ship these characters can pilot.
[25.06.2025 05:13:10] Hayden.Kramer: Kept tailing me, so I figured I'd take the gamble and hold it here.
[25.06.2025 05:13:22] Hayden.Kramer: Guess it paid off.
[25.06.2025 05:13:26] TFP)-Carmine: Does it consider you an enemy then?
[25.06.2025 05:13:41] Hayden.Kramer: If it didn't before, it sure does now.
[25.06.2025 05:14:05] TFP)-Carmine: Sussan: I see. Curious. Thank you for that. Now can you politely go back to Ontario?
[25.06.2025 05:14:11] Hayden.Kramer: I'm sure as hell not gonna tolerate it around here.
[25.06.2025 05:14:25] TFP)-Carmine: Neither will we, evidently.
[25.06.2025 05:14:53] Hayden.Kramer: You lot were the same from New York, yeah?
[25.06.2025 05:14:53] TFP)-Carmine: Sussan: Our standing orders don't contain polite chatter for the Alliance. On account of acting together I'm giving you a
[25.06.2025 05:14:58] TFP)-Carmine: chance to leave in peace.
[25.06.2025 05:15:06] Hayden.Kramer: 'Ghost Legionnaires', right?
[25.06.2025 05:15:08] TFP)-Carmine: Yes.
[25.06.2025 05:15:11] TFP)-Carmine: Well no.
[25.06.2025 05:15:25] TFP)-Carmine: Ask around, you'll get it right.
[25.06.2025 05:15:32] Hayden.Kramer: Can't be real ones. Legion's dead.
[25.06.2025 05:15:54] Hayden.Kramer: Moretti's prick friend is about all that remains of their kind.
[25.06.2025 05:16:01] Hayden.Kramer: Jackass..
[25.06.2025 05:16:24] TFP)-Carmine: I see. So why would you sit there and insult Task Force Prometheus then?
[25.06.2025 05:16:38] TFP)-Carmine: If the Legion is dead we shouldn't bust plasma up your ass right now right?
[25.06.2025 05:16:45] Hayden.Kramer: Huh?
[25.06.2025 05:16:55] Hayden.Kramer: No, I was calling Dalgaard the jackass.
[25.06.2025 05:16:59] TFP)-Carmine: I see.
[25.06.2025 05:17:06] Hayden.Kramer: You lot blasted scum right in front of my eyes.
[25.06.2025 05:17:11] Hayden.Kramer: You're at least marginally better than him.
[25.06.2025 05:17:25] TFP)-Carmine: Your personal grievances are none of my concern, asshole.
[25.06.2025 05:17:28] Hayden.Kramer: At least you get off your asses and do something.
[25.06.2025 05:17:39] TFP)-Carmine: That's quite the case.
[25.06.2025 05:17:57] TFP)-Carmine: So are you going to scram or do you want to give one of these pilots target practice?
[25.06.2025 05:18:11] TFP)-Carmine: I'll let you pick.
[25.06.2025 05:18:15] Hayden.Kramer: Ease off the gas, pilot.
[25.06.2025 05:18:30] TFP)-Carmine: I run hot. You haven't given me a good reason to be here, have you?
[25.06.2025 05:18:42] TFP)-Carmine: Now that the AI is dead.
[25.06.2025 05:19:06] Hayden.Kramer: Right.
[25.06.2025 05:19:19] TFP)-Carmine: Either your story is deeper than it seems or you're tresspassing.
[25.06.2025 05:19:45] Hayden.Kramer: It's deep, that's for sure.
[25.06.2025 05:19:52] TFP)-Carmine: Maybe some other time on Fontana.
[25.06.2025 05:19:54] TFP)-Carmine: I have my orders.
[25.06.2025 05:20:03] TFP)-Carmine: That said, thanks for the assist!
[25.06.2025 05:20:04] Hayden.Kramer: I hear ya.
[25.06.2025 05:20:12] TFP)-Carmine: Safe skies.
[25.06.2025 05:20:13] Hayden.Kramer: Anytime.
[25.06.2025 05:20:16] Hayden.Kramer: Aye.
[25.06.2025 05:20:39] TFP)-Beta.7: You handled it magnificiently,Commander
[25.06.2025 05:20:45] TFP)-Carmine: Thank you for the compliment.
[25.06.2025 05:20:52] TFP)-Carmine: I'm assigning you to report duty.
[25.06.2025 05:21:02] TFP)-Beta.7: Will do then.
[25.06.2025 05:21:06] TFP)-Carmine: Bet you're more eloquent than a Curacao rat like me anyway.
[25.06.2025 05:21:20] TFP)-Carmine: Good. Returning to base, and I'm taking you with me.
[25.06.2025 05:21:24] TFP)-Carmine: Sure
[25.06.2025 05:22:03] TFP)-Beta.7: Sometimes lesser words are more sharper then a senseless blabbering
[25.06.2025 05:22:23] TFP)-Carmine: High Command likes it lengthy, but in writing.
[25.06.2025 05:22:29] TFP)-Carmine: Here we do the opposite.
[25.06.2025 05:22:32] TFP)-Carmine: Proper context.
[25.06.2025 05:22:37] 2025-06-25 05:22:37 SMT Traffic control alert: TFP)-Carmine has docked
[25.06.2025 05:22:52] 2025-06-25 05:22:52 SMT Traffic control alert: TFP)-Beta.7 has docked
