Bonjour, monsieurs and madames!This is Ensign Forlorn d'Autoine here.I have came with something pretty interesting which I am sure some of you might know about, and it is mandatory for the others to know as well.
It all started when the I encountered a BH Thresher near planet Murilo, which the it was soon found out that the Thresher was controlled by an AI guarding the planet because an expeditionary team was dispatched in order to conduct a search, possibly for the artifacts mentioned some time ago by the 77th
The expeditionary force already built what appeared of as a camp or a rig site, possibly to extract the artifacts, but it was soon destroyed along with the Thresher as Commander Dawn started a planetary bombardment to wear the intruders off as they refused to come to our hails.
But then, 2 days ago, I followed monsieur Enrico Davids which was conducting a routine inspection, after he was done, we agreed to patrol the Omicron Zeta system.
Shortly, we found out about a strange fluctuation being emitted from Planet Murilo's location.We plotted course there in order to found out and began scanning the planet, originally assuming as it was emitted by the enemy search camp's ruins.We were wrong, the anomaly was actually emitted by an ion storm cloud, which we later found out that it was used by a heavily modified Siege Cruiser, under the command of 77th.
When we found out of the cruiser, we couldn't but just watch as it attempted to cloak itself, though failing as it's hardware was malfunctioning due to the prolonged presence in the Ion Storm Cloud.
It was very ,,closed" and it ignored, or denied any attempt of communications by us, we then noticed how it fired something, at the south pole of the planet, which we later found out, it was a capsule containing a drone.
With no hesitation, monsieur Enrico Davids then ordered me to attempt and communicate with the survivors of the planet, with a low-level radio frequency level, using the frequency: 758-AC/Z#4
After a time, of deliberate communication attempts, I found out that, there were 2 survivors left, one of them, I recognized from past encounters, it was a member of 77th named as Xal which I also once saved and interrogated.For those of you who are unaware about this, I have also provided a carbon copy of the report Here.Mais, about the second survivor though, I didn't manage to obtain any information.But, fortunately, we found out about their reasons for being there, and we were also confirmed that the camp which suffered planetary bombardment was actually under the command of the 77th.
About their reasons, well, they were conducting some searching in some kind of ancient temples, still looking for some ,,keys" which are strongly related to ,,It", although monsieur Enrico Davids told Tazzar, one of the 77th to cease this research..We decided to help them in their attempt as if they manage to find something, we might find out a use for the artifacts as well.
We later discovered, that the temple, was guarded by lots of swarming AIs and that it had a connection with Gallic artifacts, as the 77th members found out a symbol which they were unable to translate, but of which I recalled from the days when I was in the Gallic Navy that it was written in the reports, that the Gallic Researchers managed to find artifacts bearing the same symbol and managed to translate it as ,,Facade" meaning something that hides the true nature of an object.
Due to the inability of Monsieur's Enrico Davids ship to connect to the frequency, he left and bought a Resheph research cruiser.He shortly after connected to the frequency mentioned above.
It wasn't long before, well, as always, the 77th entered in trouble, they headed into a swarming horde of AIs and were forced to retreat to the surface, and so, Monsieur Enrico Davids was forced to start a planetary bombardment as well, in the hope of blocking the AIs passage to the surface, a succesful attempt may I add.
After this, it was agreed that the 77th shall make a shelter in one of the caves located on the planet, while monsieur Enrico Davids, allowed me to take a rest, dismissing me from any assigments and he engaged in a patrol sequence.
That was all monsieurs, I also managed to save the data which I managed to take by scanning the planet, pinpointing the location of the 77th camp's ruins and also the location of the drone's landing which was launched by the Siege Cruiser.The locations are marked with an arrow, whose tip is pointing the exact location.
I also took the freedom of attempting a scan of the Liberty Siege Cruiser, which was heavily modified by the 77th.Though, my scanners didn't managed to pass through the vessel's hull and so, everything I managed to get was distorted, unclear visual data.I did managed to get the ships ID, and so I found out that the ship is labelled as ,,Snowdrop"
