First entry to the system known as Cayman, i was met by a Corsair fleet engaging what seemed to be a Rheinland cruiser at first.. but parts of it were glowing blue.. and not metallic in nature.. After fending off some of the fighters, it was time to make a run for it to the nearest planet, which was a Gas Giant known as Brailla.

After a systems check, verifying nothing is broken on my ship, i cloaked my fighter and proceeded to an signature reading i caught upon entering the system... It wasn't very far as the system is not among the biggest .. It was interesting to look at, but impossible for me to interpret what was causing it.. It is a mission for the Science division among the First Fleet to have a look at..

Didn't want to spent a lot of time around that thing.. Decided to check the second planet in the system. I have heard a rumour that Zoners are operating a prison liner in the area, that can offer me a quick hull repairs for me to continue..which wasn't hard to find as i just followed a Zoner gunboat captain that was heading that way.


While in the bar i did receive a set of coordinates, to a system called Omega-2. The Zoners on the liner did advise me to proceed with caution, as they confirmed more and more Wild patrols in the area surrounding the jumphole..
But i had no time to waste, my mission is taking me further.. i need to find some clues of missing people in these parts of Sirius.. So i set the coordinates and punched it towards Omega-2.


The jumphole looked very similar to the one i used to enter the Cayman system, although it is still freaky and unusual .. Immediately after jumping to Omega-2 i was once again greeted with the Rheinland-alien cruiser.. This time i made a run for it.. i didn't want to take any damage.. knowing i can't get my ship serviced anytime soon. My scanner took me to a different anomaly, what turned out to be a jumphole to Omega-43 system, and just as i got close it it. A wing of fighters jumped through! Luckily it was Order Agents, on their own investigation mission.. they too confirmed the sights of alien rheinland cruisers..

I stopped my ship in space to have a quick rest, get some food in me and get some very much needed sleep. I have set all the sensors and alarms i possibly could, to alert me of anything that might be coming my way.

**6 Hours passed**

After having a look at the two nearby planets, i received another signature, this time i wasn't surprised by its unnatural looks and knew immediately it is a jumphole. Seeing that the initial scans indicated no life on the planets, i decided to move Ahead to Omega-97.

Immediately after the jump completed, i was met by a pilot in distress,
The following comms are from that point on, while i had a chat with the survivor and escorting him back to safety

[07.09.2025 21:19:16] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: You too?
[07.09.2025 21:19:33] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: I swear i heard an blip on my instruments indicating a possible enemy

[07.09.2025 21:22:35] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Feels like stumblin' around tryin' to move through here.
[07.09.2025 21:22:39] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: black hole?

[07.09.2025 21:27:21] Tip: You were a new player once. If you see someone making obvious mistakes, talk to them and help them.
[07.09.2025 21:27:52] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: So were you just on your way back.. ?
[07.09.2025 21:28:04] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: Where even do you call your home?
[07.09.2025 21:28:13] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: For now, yeah I'm headin' back. As for home?
[07.09.2025 21:28:27] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Well, *true* home's back on Erie, for me.
[07.09.2025 21:28:41] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: But I've been basin' out of Gran Can' a lot, as'a late.
[07.09.2025 21:31:55] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: I figured I'd come back here an' *mayybe* see if I'd missed anything the first time. Turns out I did, but uhh.
[07.09.2025 21:32:06] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: I dunno. That planet I found 'ere?
[07.09.2025 21:32:11] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Yeah. *Bad vibes.*

[07.09.2025 21:40:50] 34th|Rogue: What's the sitrep on this?
[07.09.2025 21:40:51] 34th|Lucerne: There a problem?
[07.09.2025 21:41:09] Blackguard: You alright in there, pal?
[07.09.2025 21:41:18] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Noo problems, 'ere. Was jus' fixin'a maybe get outta this place, when Matt 'ere came along an' we were havin'a chat.
[07.09.2025 21:42:02] 34th|Lucerne: What is that in your hold?
[07.09.2025 21:42:05] 34th|Rogue: I see...
[07.09.2025 21:42:07] Blackguard: Well, hey, you're in luck. If you're capable of flushing your gravimetric flux manifolds, you could jump over to that -
[07.09.2025 21:42:14] Blackguard: anomaly right there. It's phase aligned, too.
[07.09.2025 21:42:19] Blackguard: It'll spit 'ya right out.
[07.09.2025 21:42:43] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: *That's* good. Wasn't sure about with how it looks all uh, extra bright.
[07.09.2025 21:43:02] Sigma-16: You have something that doesn't belong to you Vance.
[07.09.2025 21:43:05] Blackguard: Yeah, it'll work just like a regular jump hole anomaly.
[07.09.2025 21:43:06] 34th|Rogue: Agent Mckinley, need a hand with escorting that poor fellow out of here?
[07.09.2025 21:43:08] Blackguard: Eh?
[07.09.2025 21:43:13] 34th|Rogue: Oh?
[07.09.2025 21:43:14] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: [To Lucerne] To answer-- Wait, eh?
[07.09.2025 21:43:19] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Someone else hear somethin'?
[07.09.2025 21:43:23] Blackguard: Which one of you said that?
[07.09.2025 21:43:25] 34th|Xander: Hm..
[07.09.2025 21:43:41] Blaue.Stunde: I think you should put it back, Vance.
[07.09.2025 21:44:10] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Put.. *What* back, this thing *glued* to my shuttle's cargo bay?
[07.09.2025 21:44:18] Blackguard: I knew you Order people were bossy, but not to that extent.
[07.09.2025 21:44:20] Sigma-16: He's with the Order. A foolish move.
[07.09.2025 21:44:31] Blaue.Stunde: A foolish move indeed.
[07.09.2025 21:44:34] Blackguard: What?
[07.09.2025 21:44:47] 34th|Lucerne: There extra crew on your ship?
[07.09.2025 21:44:51] Blaue.Stunde: Best put your shuttles cargo bay where it came from then, Vance.
[07.09.2025 21:45:01] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: On *mine? Hell* no, I'm the only one on my ship.
[07.09.2025 21:45:09] Sigma-16: You escaped once before, you wont be so lucky this time.
[07.09.2025 21:45:20] Blaue.Stunde: No, not this time. Not again.
[07.09.2025 21:45:26] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: I *will* say, when I got near a planet in this system, I practically bumped hulls with some random other ship.
[07.09.2025 21:45:43] Blackguard: ...Okay, so none of you Order folk are yappin' about right now. Who is it, then.
[07.09.2025 21:45:47] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Who uhh, tol' me I should *probably* get movin' back to where I came.
[07.09.2025 21:46:05] Blackguard: That would be a good idea.
[07.09.2025 21:46:17] Sigma-16: No running this time.
[07.09.2025 21:46:23] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Didn' have'ta tell *me* twice, 'specially with this.. Uh. I dunno even *what* this thing is.
[07.09.2025 21:46:33] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Some sorta like.. Oversized game die?
[07.09.2025 21:46:34] Blaue.Stunde: This time, you're staying. For good.
[07.09.2025 21:46:38] 34th|Rogue: Vance's putting nothing back. And you two better show yourself, it's "brave" spitting threats while you hide.
[07.09.2025 21:46:40] Sigma-16: Sigma wing, decloak and engage. Take out the thief and the others.
[07.09.2025 21:46:47] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: De-what??
[07.09.2025 21:46:53] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: Contacts
[07.09.2025 21:46:54] 34th|Rogue: Brigade, power up.
[07.09.2025 21:46:55] Blaue.Stunde: Understood.
[07.09.2025 21:46:55] 34th|Lucerne: Hostiles incoming!
[07.09.2025 21:46:56] Blackguard: Hostiles!
[07.09.2025 21:46:58] Sigma-16: Weapons armed and loaded
[07.09.2025 21:47:01] Sigma-16: Time to kill.
[07.09.2025 21:47:01] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Oh *shit.*
[07.09.2025 21:47:05] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: Engaging enemy contacts1

[07.09.2025 21:52:44] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Man, what the hell was *that* about?

[07.09.2025 21:56:46] 34th|Lucerne: Yeah... that's certainly a choice of lighting.
[07.09.2025 21:56:54] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Huhhh...
[07.09.2025 21:56:57] CPW-Pripyat: RO: Don't pay too much attention to it. It's nothing just a fancy show.
[07.09.2025 21:57:17] 34th|Lucerne: We should move on...

[07.09.2025 21:58:33] CPW-Pripyat: RO: I beg your pardon?

[07.09.2025 22:19:28] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Didn' have much'a chance'ta check it out - I jus' scrambled outta there.
[07.09.2025 22:19:40] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: I see, we will be sure to send a wing there on a scouting mission first.
[07.09.2025 22:20:00] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: Before sending any other research assets into the system.
[07.09.2025 22:20:13] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Might wanna do that. It's the system I woke up after comin' to from a black out.
[07.09.2025 22:20:19] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: Is there anything else you can tell us about it?
[07.09.2025 22:20:37] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Uh, lessee...
[07.09.2025 22:20:51] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: I found'a "false exit" near some kinda comet there. Dead end.
[07.09.2025 22:21:04] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Then there's that planet bein' ripped apart by the black hole itself.
[07.09.2025 22:21:33] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Didn't have the chance'ta analyze the minerals there, but there's a *heck've* a lot of stuff that a mining rig might find.
[07.09.2025 22:21:50] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: hmm
[07.09.2025 22:21:58] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Oh, one more thing.

[07.09.2025 22:22:45] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Some kinda "gravimetric pull" to 'em--
[07.09.2025 22:22:49] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: OH, that reminds me.
[07.09.2025 22:22:58] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: If ya find yer way back'ta Ninety-Seven?
[07.09.2025 22:23:05] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: that would be the black holes gravity ..
[07.09.2025 22:23:12] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: yes?
[07.09.2025 22:23:20] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: There's a thing in the center've the maze there.
[07.09.2025 22:23:27] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: That's got some *serious* pull, too.
[07.09.2025 22:23:40] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: I watched nearly *half'a DOZEN* other ships get sucked into it!
[07.09.2025 22:24:00] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Had the foresight'a hang back instead'a actin' like a lemming, but even then..
[07.09.2025 22:24:04] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: Did you by any chance get a chance to measure the distance between the object and the ships?
[07.09.2025 22:24:13] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: I had'a kick on my cruise engines'ta get outta that thing's gravity well.
[07.09.2025 22:24:42] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: We will need to determine the "safe-spot" for that anomaly
[07.09.2025 22:24:46] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: *Measurements?* Uh. Not precise. Mostly was worried about NOT gettin' sucked in?
[07.09.2025 22:24:51] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: To prevent any of our ships getting sucked into
[07.09.2025 22:24:57] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: Understandable
[07.09.2025 22:25:25] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: I wouldn' recommend anything super big, goin' that deep.
[07.09.2025 22:25:41] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: Was exactly my thinking.. bigger mass .. bigger pull
[07.09.2025 22:26:10] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: Thankfuly we have amazing sensor arrays on our ships
[07.09.2025 22:26:27] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: We don't need to get as close as some other people *smiles*
[07.09.2025 22:26:40] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Ohhh, right. One more thing before I shore up.
[07.09.2025 22:26:43] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: There was uh.
[07.09.2025 22:27:11] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Some weird sorta upside-down triangle rock I spotted near that black hole, too.
[07.09.2025 22:27:30] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: Triangle rock you say..?
[07.09.2025 22:27:33] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: I wasn't fixin' to get *closer'ta* somethin' that could turn me'ta spaghetti.

[07.09.2025 22:27:51] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: Hmm, did it have a hole in the middle?

[07.09.2025 22:33:41] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Yeah, an' turns out I feel a heck've a lot safer in'a Frigate.
[07.09.2025 22:34:00] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: But I still need a replacement freighter fer some things, here an' there.
[07.09.2025 22:34:05] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: I hope you get to keep it, if this alien structure didnt damage anything
[07.09.2025 22:34:10] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: I'cn sort that out later, though.
[07.09.2025 22:34:28] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Eh, ya'll can have *this* one. It's been blasted a couple'a times by this point.
[07.09.2025 22:34:54] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: Alright
[07.09.2025 22:35:01] 34th|Lucerne: If you say so. Let's deal with this thing, then.
[07.09.2025 22:35:16] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Anyhow - I've got a pit stop'ta make, an' ya'll got a weird new thing'ta do somethin' with.
[07.09.2025 22:35:22] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: we will work out the details on the Liner
[07.09.2025 22:35:42] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Yeah. Guess you'll wanna like, scan me or somethin'? That some sorta hand-held deal?
[07.09.2025 22:36:01] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: Aye, we will do that as you dock
[07.09.2025 22:36:10] 34th|Lucerne: Yeah, just to make sure- you know- it didn't rearrange your brain matter or something.
[07.09.2025 22:36:16] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: And lock the ship up, until transport can be arranged.
[07.09.2025 22:36:56] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: Pretty sure I'd be a breathin' potato by now, if my head got all twisted up.
[07.09.2025 22:37:10] [Survivor]:Victor.Vance: See ya'll on board, eh?
[07.09.2025 22:37:20] 34th|Lucerne: Yessiree
[07.09.2025 22:37:22] Order|Matthew.Mckinley: Aye, proceed to dock, we will meet you in your hangar bay.
As the ferry was stored in the Zoner Liner, i have requested the Liner CO to restrict the access to the hangar, until transport of the ferry can be provided back into Order space.

After securing the ferry, i set off - continuing the exploration of the deep omegas. I went back into Omega-97, but this time it was very eerie.. this time nobody was there to greet me, it didn't take long for me to start feeling a little scared. The sensors not working, all the instruments were deaf and all the information i got was what i could see through the cockpit of my Anubis. What i saw was rocks and more rocks.. After flying around for a minute, i noticed higher readings on the instruments as i approached them.. quickly realizing they are radioactive and have begun eating my hull. Quickly backing off, i noticed a clearing in the distance.. As it was the only way forward i went for it. Following some curves in the corridors, it looked man made .. or alien? I stumbled upon weird anomalies, which were shooting off radiation wildly, but there was room for me to squeeze past them.
Not shortly after, i've come to a junction with two choices, left or right.. without a single way to map my way around without instruments, i decided to take right turns only If i come across more of them.

Continuing going right at the first junction i noticed a similar glow in the dark ahead of me.. flying straight to it, i came across a Rift. I didn't want to spend a second more in this system, thinking i could come back later with a research team, a better prepared vessel and more provisions.. decided to jump through the rift.

[Entering Fischer]
Wow.. is that.. a.. BLACK HOLE??.. was the first thing i said.. before noticing a slight pull.. nothing serious but this thing got me engaging my cruise engines and heading to look at all the planets in the system, as the visibility in this new system was excellent. I had to correct my course many times during my flight to offset the gravity of the black hole, which was getting stronger the closer i got. The planets themselves seemed to have no life on them, which was expected, but In the distance i saw a planet, shattered by the black hole.. when i approached it, i realized the planets core was still extremely hot, almost started melting my ship hot.. when i realized there were big chunks of the planet flying around.. They were kind ofg blueish.. with white accents on, a material i haven't seen before.. something to research further on a 2nd expedition to this system.

Lastly i wanted to check a weird structure, the gravity was constantly increasing as it was the closest to the black hole. My instruments started lighting up, which was weird, either they've broken down or the signature is so strong it was stronger than whatever was blocking them.. As i stopped roughly 5 kilometers from the structure i noticed that it wasnt moving.. The blackhole had no effect to it. I flew closer to it, seeing if the massive signature had anything to do with it, shielding it maybe.. And i was right! But the structure also started firing some projectiles.. that didnt look like normal missiles, but more like spiky mines..
That was my cue to leave, as my ship couldnt handle much more beating knowing i still had to go the same way back to Cayman system and dock to the Intrepid Maiden Liner to send out my report back to Mission Control
