Subject: New Dawn convoy defense

This would have been another operational log but I think this has extended into matters of concern that the Damnatio Memoriaeby duty are to inform the Paramilitary council of these escalating extra-stellar events.

I myself had aid duties again to support our allies and own domestic trade, this also helps me keep on top of scouting out activities within the sector, picking up word here and there of whats going on in Sirius. I was packing after a nights rest on Allentown, thankfully the noise isolation on my grendel were enough to keep out the sounds of drunken junkers but I had the call from the New Dawn while I was here that they needed support for evacuating civvilians and combat casulties from Erie. Thankfully sleeping on the ship has its perks and I met with Comma- Siara, Just Siara, current figurehead of the New Dawn.

I figured the security of backroom deals and the presence of the Bundschuh would discourage other parties from intervening as we plotted a route through Rheinland. The team was initially myself in a Grendel, A Bristol passenger ship used as an ad-hoc hospital had been contracted for the job, Tumu-Ra'i-Fenua, that was our primary defense. I in the mean time had packed up enough medical supplies to take along the trip towards Gran Canaria to supply the hospitals with their incoming casualties. Another Grendel under the New Dawn, Hold The Line, had come to support the effort flown by a pilot named Riot, and Siara had taken flight command in the during this time mostly as I had to remain on the wire to listen out for anything the Void had laid ahead for us.

The first leg of the trip went without a hitch, thankfully we managed to get the casualties offloaded on Gran Canaria's transport terminal and we didn't face any interceptions by law enforcement or hostiles. But it was when we were to take shipments of medical supplies destined for Bielefeld's prisoner rescue efforts when the 'Sour Chorus' had decided to intervene.

We've had reports of ships going missing more frequently in the Omegas, turns out we may have become another statistical number if it wasn't for the firepower we brought along... They first appeared near the jumphole leading to Omega-5, two gunships, Oder class... Nothing I found matched any sort of registry ID I could find but the answer of who they belong to came clear enough. The Sour Chorus immediately screeched their war cries, my suit dampening systems were bracing my mind enough to react just like I always have and had immediately actioned a distress call through the Paramilitary Network. immediately they pursued us through the jumphole, I pulled the trigger on my flight controls as quickly as possible, corrupt beasts were after the passenger Liner full of medical supplies and weren't in any means to preserve themselves to fight another day.

Crimson Veil had arrived at this time to assist against the forces of the Suhl, tackling the gunships along with your support craft was a lot easier since she was able to keep them away from the transport. Once those gunships were eliminated and the scene secure of threats, I enacted quarantine protocols,, any hostile life pods were destroyed... along with hopes of recovering their dogtags, I regret deeply their souls were lost to the corrupt chorus and we weren't able to recover the names of the hosts. I want to also endorse Crimson Veil's actions under my responsibility solely... I feel this is her first time performing quarantine protocols and I will be monitoring their well-being closely.

The attacks didn't stop from there, we faced further hostiles in Dresden... While passing the collapsed jump-hole anomaly between Omega-11's and Frankfurt's jump hole route. This time the natural war-forms of the Sour Chorus. Bomber and gunships class forms that were as zealous in attacking the Liner as their corrupted puppets. They must have either used the radiation being emitted from the collapsed hole as sensor cover, or... Have used this weakened fabric of space to traverse to our location. Neither can be confirmed.

We had further interception from Frankfurt, although hostiles broke off nearing Bruchsal... They enclosed to our position before vanishing off the radar, no doubt their pursuit hadn't ceased; they don't retreat without reason. Bielefeld was our next destination and the aid teams had already prepped our shipments of H-fuel for the New Dawn to stockpile for the coming conflict in Pennsylvnia.

As much as I would have liked to call it a day, my sleep could wait once the Militants also had fuel to have a confortable night too, unfortunately my previous instincts were correct... A cherished curse of having 'Eyes in the Dark', I knew a predators gaze was still hunting in our direction. Bielefield sires were firing off as soon as the cargo had finished being loaded... A Mako class Core battleship, crews were rushing to their bomber wings to keep the thing at back while the rest of the transport escort prepared to move the Liner out as soon as possible. I had made a call to the paramilitary network in the meantime to request the immediate deployment of the Von Claussen. Much at the Saverne's dock master's request that the weapon systems be tested first.

Bruchsal was our next checkpoint before moving to pick up munitions & arms at Kaiserslautern... But that Core battleship had not given up pursuit. Falke of the 'Damnatio Memoriae' had their specialists onboard the Von Claussen as part of rotational command at the time, the Paramilitary had agreed to the emergency deployment of the Von Claussen to support the convoy, and the Dockmaster will be happy to know a majority of weapon systems combat performance was within effective levels. The Mako was destroyed, scene was quarantined and we had to prepare the convoy to move towards Kaiserslautern.

Once we hit New Berlin, course had been set for the station which... Was also under attack by the Sour Chorus. They were determined to hit us at every corner possible... Rise and repeat, quarantine and move. DM commanders were affirm that these were all compromised hostiles at this point. Kaiserslautern had loaded the munitions and arms at speed to keep us on the move, we could keep this sort of activity within New Berlin as Imperial forces would pick up on the commotion.

Hudson didn't bring any good encounters either, waves of bombers and a pair of Scylla class cruisers were again attempting to halt our path, even the Von Claussen took so scotching to its shell that it'll likely need some field repairs on its outer hull armour. Pensylvannia too was met with rough space, infected forces even summoned a siege cruiser to tackle us in this home stretch. My vessel at this point had its own damage-control systems to thank it at this point, the upper starboard engine took a hit from hostile bombers and glances from the cruiser defense guns that the injectors choked and starved the engine. The other three compensated and allowed me to keep range on the cruiser during its turns to keeps its shields depleted. The Von Claussen made short work of that weaponized baton.

But something was off, distress calls were made system wide before the destruction of the cruiser, turns out it was calling out the under the guise of them being part of the local occupation forces... The Navy in response attempted to intercept us at Allentown where the Fuel was to be distributed.

Thankfully unlike those beasts, they still have a chance to falter and err as humans should... We made quick work of them... Too quick I think, some of us were still carrying the instincts of the Sour Chorus being the ones on the hunt.

At that point after some words with Siara of the New Dawn... I suppose I called it a night, sleep was rough again but I had an hour or two so I could send this report off. I'll also be hoping to discuss this situation further with the New Dawn as these hostilities will also concern their own block runners who attempt to follow similar routes.

To those of the Paramilitary command, if this is the new norm we are going to face in our operations, I beg you not to let them discourage you, carry on our fight and we will prevail. As per the agreements of the 'Damnatio Memoriae', we will serve as your defense against these beasts.
