Comrades, another resounding victory for the Revolutionaries of Sirius, and troubling news from the lower Omegas.

Acting on Comrade Katz's suggestion, I got on my Insurgent and traveled to Omega 5, where I was witness to our Red Hessian Army brothers combating the loathsome bunch known as the HAF. I am pleased to say that our RHA brothers had things well in hand for much of the battle, and I joined Herr Hessler observing the battle from afar. Shortly after my arrival, however, things changed as the dirty Corsairs received some re-enforcements, and Hessler gave the OK to engage the new forces.

Throughout the melee, Corsair forces continued to wither against the might onslaught. Finally, the last Corsair was vanquished. The entire flight group did a marvelous job of coordinated attacks, and the RHA came away fairly unscathed. I myself recorded a kill, much to the amazement of myself and the thanks of my Hessian comrades.

As the battle wound down, and the wing made for Ronneburg and a resupply, but an anomalous reading was detected by one of our Hessian brothers, an Herr Richthofen. I accompanied Herr Richthofen along with Herr Vikernes and a Koroglu to SYSTEM CLASSIFIED BY HC where a frightening visage awaited us. Initial scans were fuzzy, but a long conversation with an at first Rheinland Military Gunboat ensued.

As you can see, the anomalous readings turned out to have a justification. The captain of the vessel seemed to think he was lost from his flight group and had stumbled into an uncharted system. The more I talked to the captain, however, the more suspicious I got. At one point in the flight, another vessel (described later) appeared just out of sensor range. At the appearance of this vessel, the captain of the RNC craft started talking more gibberish and his story didn't line up. It was at this point that I asked the captain to follow me to Omicron Minor where Order technicians could evaluate a possible Nomad infestation, seeing that SYSTEM CLASSIFIED BY HC was a known Nomad area.

The pilot of the craft then was told he had two choices, either to follow us to Minor, or be destroyed because of possible infestation. The pilot refused either choice, and seemed to mentally shut down. I reluctantly ordered the Hessian brothers to destroy the Gunboat because of possible infestation. It was at this time that the mysterious craft came close and opened fire on my flight group as well. It was...well, I'll let the guncam show.

As you can see, It is a hybrid Nomad/Human craft. Not much is known by Coalition scientists, but they are combing the data, which is why I am at Mykolaiv. I will be making a copy of this data, and with the help of Captain Katz, taking it to Omicron Minor for discussions with the Order High Command.

After the second gunboat engaged, I ordered the Hessian brothers to retreat back to Omega 5, and back to Ronneburg. Data had been collected, and I did not want to risk the lives of my comrades on a wasteful endeavor. My compliments to Herr Meisnerr for letting his men go on a dangerous sortie and following my lead on the situation. I must point out that Herr Manfried Richthofen exhibited some strange behavior for some time during the encounter, and should be watched over carefully.

All pilots made it home safely, and valuable intel was gained in the fight against the Nomad Menace. A good day and a victory for us all.

For the Revolution
For the Red Dawn
