RE: Report of the encounter with an unidentified alien vessel

As requested I am sending my report from the encounter with the unidentified alien vessel in which I have been involved.

1. Name and vessel type '€“ Jessica Ferres, Nyx Fightercraft
2. Area of operation '€“ Tau 23, Kyushu
3. Ships escorted '€“ Carsten.Miller
4. Hostiles encountered '€“ Unidentified Alien Vessel
5. Casualties on both sides '€“ None (except some hardware on sides of IMG)


After entering Tau-23 from Kyushu via the jump hole on my duty to escort the miner Carsten.Miller, I encountered an unidentified vessel on scanners. I approached and could see that it was purple and unlike anything that I have ever seen.

Upon approaching further and scanning the vessel to assess if it was dangerous, I suddenly had what I later learned was an hallucination. I found myself floating in space and suffocating. Upon the end of this devastating experience, I found myself in my cockpit again, which I had never left. I could set the autopilot to the nearest jump hole and then passed out, I presume.

My own memory of everything following is still a little foggy, but according to others, I was then found drifting on the other side of the Kyushu jump hole and brought to Java station were I was brought to medbay with amnesia.

I eventually regained my memory however, thanks to the aid of the pilot from the Carsten.Miller and another IMG employee who flew a craft called '€œCobalt'€.

My craft was examined and repaired, it was apparently suffering from malfunction at its sensory systems from scanning the alien vessel. The affected systems were removed and destroyed to be safe before a new set of sensory systems were installed, as I was told.

I am adding the medical report and the hangar crew report as well since additional information was requested by one pilot Bill.Fenders.

Medical Report

Emergency Medbay

Patient profile:

Name: Jessica Ferres
Affiliation: Independant Miners Guild (IMG)
Occupation: Fighter Pilot (presumably)


Medical Profile

Patient found barely conscious in a Nyx fighter craft. Physically unharmed, except minor irritation of the lungs.
Suffered from temporary amnesia and disorientation.
Was under survey in medbay until patient regained her memory by the help of two IMG pilots.
Now ready for duty again.


Relevant Notes

Patient was found after an incident involving encounters with unidentified alien ships near Java station. She appeared to have suffered from hallucination during her flight to Java station which caused her to set course for Kyushu jump hole, she was found drifting on the other side. Once brought to Java station the patient was barely conscious and showed symptoms of CO2 poisoning but was otherwise uninjured. The disorientation, which we at first believed a side effect of the CO2 poisoning was actually connected to an amnesia which was presumably caused by communication with the unidentified alien vessel. We believe that the hallucination was also caused by this.


Status update:
After the patient regained her memory, she spoke of the hallucination. It occurred when she came closer to the alien vessel to scan it and then suddenly found herself floating in space and suffocating, while (unbeknownst to her in that moment) she was still in her fighter craft. This would explain the CO2 poisoning and the irritation of the lungs, if the breathing had been unknowingly stopped, the amnesia was presumably caused by the trauma of the hallucinated near-death experience.


Status update:
As of now, the patient regained her memory and showed no signs of affliction or extraordinary symptoms or behaviour. The patient'€™s health has recovered to normal and she is fit for duty in space.

IMG Nyx fightercraft - Technical Review

Fighter craft was landed in the hangar bay, after presumably an encounter with an unidentified alien vessel.

There was no evident damage to the hull. Engines, shielding and weapons were fully functional.

The sensory array, while not having sustained damage was malfunctioning and inoperable, as well as the targeting scanners. Both had to be exchanged and new hardware installed.

Main computer core, ejection system and life support were fully functional and did not show signs of affliction or malfunction. But to be safe, a complete software purge and reinstall was made, before the new sensory hardware was installed.

Craft is now fully functional again and ready for operation.


Relevant Notes:

The sensory systems were mostly inoperable but we did retrieve some scrambled guncam evidence before we purged and destroyed the hardware in question. It is added to this report.

If anyone still has questions, I am usually at Java station or in the near vicinity.
