This is Brigid O'Shaunessy, reporting from T23 Java.
We, John Barnett and myself, just shot down an SCRA after BHG Core reported that SCRA turned against them after the last Outcast had been shot down. Worried by this report, we chased one of their fighters to Tau 37.
We realized he was a supporter of a leader names Volkhan, who he hailed often.
There was something strange about this fight that I want to warn you about:
The pilot didn't seem to be in full posession of basic instincts like preservation of his own life. He fired shieldbusters and then launched unguided torpedos, I assume Novas, point blank at me. A near hit - I guess a mine exploded the torpedo - took me almost out. He laughed, while his won ship was shredded halfway in the same blast.
He was absolutely suicidal!! We took him down, after having understood how to fight him.
In the short talk before I realized some strange aspects:
He said things against Volkhan, like: "You will pay Volkhan"... and the we heard a buzzing sound, then some cries of pain and then followed by "You will die, in the name of Volkhan". There were 3 situations in which the enemy pilot changed his mind after a buzzing sound and a crie or moan of pain. Every time he uttered a phrase in total compliance with Volkhan.
I think this is bad news.
And you should know.
I'm glad I did not run into this torpedo suicide trap.
Be careful out there! Something is definitely wrong.
If you want a second eyewitness account, John Barnett was fighting with me. He will back up everything I've said here.
