Intelligence Report

Captain/Pilot Name - F. Harper

Vessel Name - K - Basilisk (Shared Command)

Subject - Craster Nebula Breach

Transmission - We've had an encounter with an unknown vessel in the Craster Nebula, beyond the Verwood. While performing a training exercise with a new officer, the Lady Vic picked up strange signals coming from close to Darlington. Welkin and Allers were despatched to investigate it. Initial scans came back with some strange readings, certainly something I've never seen before. While the Lady Vic was evacuated from the area to preserve her sensitive material, further units were called in from patrols to assist.

Being the closest asset, I took command of the Basilisk and headed straight to the cordon. Initially everything seemed clear, however further comms from Welkin and Allers proved concerning. The unknown vessel had dropped down into the atmosphere of Darlington where it was still being pursued. Taking the Basilisk through the upper atmosphere I was met with a very strange sight. Using the more powerful scanners aboard the Basilisk, I captured the following scan of what we will now designate as ENTITY-DL-001.

As we were running scans and trying to ascertain what on earth this vessel was, it seemed to become gaseous then charge towards friendly vessels. Momentarily losing it on scanners it was replaced with what I can only assume to be an equivalent to our gunboat class vessels. This new threat engaged us with beam type weapons, something I have personally not seen. While Allers took the brunt of its fire, Welkin and the Basilisk were able to destroy it after a short scuffle. The whole engagement was captured on guncam.

With the threat neutralised, Welkin was concerned that this entity may have come from the research station, so we dove through the atmospheric storm, deeper into Darlington. Besides various control issues on the Basilisk due to the conditions, our small force approached the station, which we found to be intact and completely unaware of the issues we had been having above.

I would like to say this is where this report ends, however the whole situation got stranger. Undocking from Sunderland was a large Kruger transport. While our initial thought was to engage this vessel too, being within the restricted area, we couldn't be sure it was real. After what had just happened with the entity, we were all suffering strange effects. We decided it best to escort the Kruger transport out of the atmosphere, and the nebula beyond. While the weapons platforms were engaging this strange Kruger, it didn't seem to be taking any damage and continued out of the nebula... Where it disappeared? Almost as quick as it appeared, it faded into nothing.

Myself, the crew of the Basilisk, Welkin and Allers will all surrender ourselves for psychiatric evaluation to further understand the effects of contact with the Entity.
