It's been long since last communication... Was busy with the things on the Erie, also was on some meetings at Manhattan. All what I can tell, our request for jump clearance is still being discussed by Liberty authorities. So, bureaucracy... It's may take long.



Well, as I've done my problems here, I decide finally to reach Phoenix Spaceport. By the way, I've escorted a civilian transport, seems a old pilot back into the space... But he's lost all of his assets. So I show a little shortcut to the Freeport 9. And some tips to earn cash.



As I reached my home and finally had some time to take a rest. A little bit later, as we set our path through starcharts on Phoenix homeship, we started working out on further extensions of the Spaceport. So you see the result of our work, friends...



Spaceport is nearly done. All we need to clean up the station inside and start construction of different facilities. And we will able to start production of different devices, which will serve for us and our allies.

Hello Christian!

It's good to have you back from Liberty in one piece and welcome home!

I guess you have enjoyed your journey back to your roots in Penny, even if it was an official trip.
To tell you the truth I wasn't surprised when you mentioned that we still have to wait for the approval of Liberty. Those guys are famous about how to complicate everything if it comes to bureaucracy. Anyway I hope our request will be approved, It would be quite beneficial according to our plans.

Have you heard any interesting rumor while you were away? News of the Houses are barely reach the Omicrons, I yearn for a good story. *laughs*

[align=center]Greetings Brother's and Sister's,
Shade Reporting. On this day I deployed for the first time my newly commissioned vessel the (\^/)Thanatos. I encountered the (\^/)Genesis as well as pilot Quiron Lacroix and Jonathan Roberts. I asked them to join me as I intended on entering Omicron Iota to begin searching for my fiends of the lost ZEF fleet. None of them faltered, even for a second in helping me on my quest. We mustered our fleet and headed to Iota. As we neared the Iota jump hole, we suddenly came under heavy fire from Stationary Nomad weapon systems. Our vessels shields held true and we entered the system. Once on the other side we again faced Nomad weapon systems that had been placed near the jump hole and again our shields held strong. My long range scanners had detected a very weak signal of some sort and we began exploring the system. As we ventured further in the signal became slightly stronger until I discovered a message beacon of unknown origins. Most of the signal was corrupted and the only information that I could gain from it was that what ever vessel had deployed it had made it way to a system called Omicron-99. A feeling of exhilaration came over me, and my hopes were re-ignited! My friends may still yet live! So using gravimetric telemetry we were able located this Omicron-99 jump hole. We made entry into the system, and you would not believe the sights there its just beautiful! But this beauty was quickly corrupted as swarms of Nomad vessels descended upon the fleet. I was able to capture some images as we had to defend ourselves from the largest Nomad vessel I have ever seen! And it was not just one of them my brothers and sisters, we faced a total of five of them! But we were victorious and managed to destroy all of them! My scanners detected the same signal as before but it was much stronger, but alas we were unable to continue our search as our vessels were to heavily outnumbered to continue with the search so we fell back. It was a close call, to close...But we made it and gathered some very good data that I have uploaded to Phoenix Spaceports databank. I will provide for you here my family the images of what we saw there.

After our return to Phoenix Spaceport, Quiron escorted the (\^/)Thanatos to Freeport 11 so that I could re-supply some goods that were expended. This is when a very interesting thing occurred. We encountered a Rheinland Cruiser in Omicron Delta near the Zeta jump hole. The vessel was called BDM|RNC-Brynhildr. Quiron and I engaged in conversation with its captain who did not identify himself (I say himself as "it's" gender was identified at any point). We made some inquires with the captain. Quiron was able to collect much more information about our conversation then I. I'm sure he will provide it asap. I did ask about the RAV and "he" assured me that the Rheinalnd government is looking into the incident dealing with the Freeport 7 reconstruction site attack. I will provide more information on a secure channel about this encounter. For now friends it is time to rest, as I'm planning my next excursion to look for my missing friends. I will keep you all posted.

Shade out...

[RedEclipse]

Quiron, Erie became more secured system, so no surprise why I came back in one piece. *laughs* Actually, libertonians doing good work with Pennsylvania, Erie with all Zoner towns and cities is secured, nobody trying to raid them as it was years ago. Still, I don't share same views who's let Liberty to "protectorate" Pennsylvania, but we see the result. Although, good old Canaria obtaining very well without any governments care.

Well, I suppose you know how bureaucracy works. It's should to pass all instances, so it's take awhile. Let it be, better to wait with patience, I hope these guys will decide positively, it will be fruitful for both parties... At least I hope, they're understand this and our friendly attitude. *smile*

Shade, nice report you've got there! I never asked you, perhaps you've got these manners in the Navy? Oh, and a new homeship in our Fleet, what a news! So, we've got a more place to grown our own potato *laughs* Well, if without jokes, don't risk to fly alone in this ship. Always have backup, we cannot afford to loose any of homeships.

Anyway, that's was sadness to me, I wasn't able to come with you, due paperwork on Phoenix Spaceport. Be careful with these explorers missions. As we do it previously, every system after Zeta full of these parasites. Always keep your eyes open, think on the step forward. Soon we will able to equip every homeship with special stuff, so I guess we will be in safe.

Anyway, time for my late report.

After my arrival at Phoenix Spaceport from the Erie, we're decide to bring Hyperion back to PSP, it's was parked on Freeport 9 for awhile. By the bay we've met a TAZ fellows, and flied together to Spaceport.



Our journey was quite safe and fun, it's always a joy to talk with fellow Zoners. Didn't met any of TAZ for a long time. Anyway, I hope it'll be changed. So... We're arrived at our peace heaven, and our dear guests was allowed to dock. Sadly, I hadn't opportunity to fly with fellows more, due paperwork and administrative business at PSP...



After general clean up on the station, we're started bringing our base to it's final condition. So I've met Hoshiko and we're go for trade convoy. That was fun, although dangerous. I still can't decide, what's part of space more dangerous - Omicrons or Omegas... Sometimes humans more merciless than any Nomad, and you always knew what do expect from the Nomad... Anyway... There is a nice guncam in Omicron - 74... Our beloved system. I still hope in someday we will able to claim this system back. So much nostalgia...



Anyway, my fellow brothers and sisters, Phoenix Spaceport is done! All construction outside and inside is finished. So general order for all of you boys and girls - it's time to clean up the station from construction waste. Lets make Spaceport shiny as outside. *wink*

In the same time, our production facilities started working. Keep run commodities for them, that's all for now.

And... As Shade reported, Rheinlanders was spotted in Delta, what a news... Please be careful, don't take any of them on-board of your ships, we cannot to know, probably they're still infected, why you think our attempt to reconstruct Freeport 7 was destroyed?.. Who knows. Stay alert.

[Quiron]

Greetings fellow members!

As Necroth's report covers every segment of the last day's operation, I just want to provide some additional visual data.

When I've heard the story of the lost fleet, helping Necroth wasn't a question for me. As a family, we share joy and sadness, your burden is ours too.

So, our investigation party departed from Phoenix Spaceport and ventured to the deep Omicrons where even the bravest pilots of Sirius would meet the feeling of the fear.

As expected, in Iota our cruise to the newly discovered system was disturbed by several alien ambush but we managed to overcome those situations and succesfully reached the jump hole of Omicron-99 and we ventured forth.
To tell you the truth my friends, I've never expected that I will experience something so dreadful: maybe the largest speciment of the nomads a living person could see with his/her bare eyes.

Luckily enough, our ships were powerful enough against them and killed those beasts at the cost of heavy damages. We've decided to retreat and finish our survey since we got what we've came for: information about the missing Zoners. After collecting some alien remains for further investigation in our labs we have departed from that heavily infected system. Strangely the backroute was calm and our team was able to return to our spaceport in one piece. The remains were handed over to the science department, I hope they can find out something interesting which help our cause.

The last part of the day was also interesting thinking of the rheinlander capital ship we have encountered in Delta. Quite strange that a house military ship showed up out here. As Necroth mentioned we had a little talk with him, yet he was mysterious about his intentions. He was mentioning something about "rogue agents", but wasn't more specific.

Necroth summed up the rest of the conversation, so I don't have anything to add. Anyway, we should be more aware in Delta.

[RedEclipse]

Family, I have something to report. For now, keep your eyes always open, when you flying around Omicrons. We had encounters with The Wild just outside of Phoenix Spaceport.



That's was the first time of alien contact in this place, and I guess they will try to assault our jump convoy again. I think they're aimed to destroy one of our barges, so disable supplement line of our base. Next time we should be prepared for such guests.



We're forced them to retreat to Omicron Minor, few fighters followed them. Sadly, due malfunction of navigation systems my Nephthys was semi-disabled by enemy fire. We're decided to depart from the Minor and set our courses to Spaceport. Currently my old fighter under repairs, I hope our technicians have parts to replaced damaged ones.

That's all for now. Transports, configure your sensors to full power.

[Alvin]

Finally manage to get my own Comm ID working, after giving it a good whack … I swear technology hates me sometimes! Anyways, apologies for the late report – but I guess it is better than not reporting at all.

Introductory
For those who did not have the privilege of knowing me yet, name’s Jonathan Roberts - but you can always refer to my nick as “Jon” or “Alvo” (if you don’t want a mouthful). I was born and raised in Planet Erie, eventually graduated at the University of Edinboro with a placement at GMG. I worked there for nearly two decade before titled a forefront expert in geomorphology and aerology (Basically one who study formation of planets and gas), oh and I do hope they name a gas giant after me someday!

Although my life in GMG was going really well, I just did not have the same level of enjoyment as back then I started. Don’t get me wrong, I get paid well, owning a lot of assets, highly classified projects and a good quarter (with lots of hot exotic chicks “visiting”); but my work is always restricted, dictated by bureaucracy and shareholders who only wants Credits. However, this all changed I went back to Home Planet on holiday leave one day, and met a man called Christian Burton. He opened up new possibilities and opportunities for me, and it would have been stupid for me to pass on it!

So yeah, in Omicron Delta now, totally new environment (not to mention how hostile and contested it is!). I’m no combat pilot, so had catch up with heavy hours in combat simulators. Still a bit shaky on the weapons, but at least I have something to shoot with. Anyway, feel free to drop over by my quarters in PSP any time (especially hot Zoner chicks you can bring along!). If you don’t see me, I’ll probably be over Planet Saipan… studying the gas of course.

---

Silly me, got carried away introducing myself and totally to submit flight report!

Well, There’s actually nothing crucial to inform so far, nomad activity had been quiet yesterday… too quiet, must be on their tea break! (Gives me the creeps just thinking about it) Anyhow, I had been flying the supply ship to Planet Crete with the needy Food Rations, which the Benitez family kindly gave permission to dock after a ship scan. It’s always good to aid people and have a smiling relationship, even if it takes a slight detour to another system. In return, I paid for gold at a decent price in which both parties benefited; and carried the components back to PSP. I can’t wait till the production finish and get my hands on that shiny new gadget!

[RedEclipse]

Ahoy me fellow brothers and sisters,

Well, I think I've got something to report. First, repairs of 141 capital ships and final assembly of 2 docking modules on Dire Wolf went successful. I hope our work served good for our allies, 2 more ships guard Sirius against alien threat.



As for the Nomads, Phoenix Spaceport long range scanners detected a wing of Nomads, flying right from their lair, Iota to human populated regions. We sent a convoy on intercept course, but it was too late - they're jumped from Zeta. But we're find a signal of lonely Morph and followed him. It's bring us first to Omega-3, then we were informed that they're were spotted in Dublin. We're followed them, but there was no one of them.

A bit later, we've separated on 2 groups, and I've got unknown signal again. It's brings us to Magellan... But nothing there, but not at all - a huge LNS fleet was just outside of Freeport 4, probably they're got Nomad signals too.

Well, we've scanned space around of Freeport, but there was no one of them. 3 of us decide to use a moment and take a rest, but not Minami Kotaro. He's somehow managed to find out Nomad fleet. Seems his body was under control, and his ship went off control very fast. All what he's remember that Nomads speaks with Hellfire Legion... And... They're didn't attacked! Probably they're infected, or just maniacs. Well, next time if you will met a HF, be aware of that. Never let them go inside of your ship.

Anyway, we're rescued Kotaro and his ship, it wasn't damaged badly, and life support system worked fine.

Then my fellow brothers went to home, Phoenix Spaceport. But I've decide to visit my home planet, the Erie. And by the way make few stops. But it's not worth a report, but this picture:



I've met a Aquilon carrier with Outcast ID and Hacker IFF. I've tried to talk with his captain, but seems he's heavy addicted by cardamine, and had a inarticulate speech. But he's aimed damn good on Liberty carrier, this addict threat Zoner neutrality. Anyway... I have one proposal to prevent such usage of Zoner ships, but we will talk about this later.



I parked my ship in hangar and let my guys to check out ship systems and leave to the city. That was a fun with my friends on Erie, remind me good old times... Still curious how local restaurant managed to get a gallic wine, it was damn delicious! Next time we should to get some from Gallia.

As I finished with fun on Erie, I jumped on my Kaichou and launched on it to the space. I flown to the Philadelphia station... and there was true battlefield! I've joined to the resistance and tried to help local defenders. Sadly, my ship was damaged fast, was problems with strafe mechanics. Anyway, I went back to Erie.




I sending this message via Hyperion arrays, hopefully it'll reach Zeta.

I'll stay there for few days, until my old Kaichou would be repaired. See you soon, friends!

[Quiron]

Greetings Phoenixes!

Last day Dirk mentioned me some special commodities what he was about to bring from the Taus to our Spaceport and since we all know how infected the house spaces are with pirates both of us agreed that it would be the best thought to escort him through his journey.

Our fear was justified, in Kyushu system we have found out that two ships were robbing the transit traffic. Due to our teamwork we managed to avoid them and reached the Taus safely and without any "toll" paying.

Now, what disturbing me the most is that we have experienced in Tau-29system. Our radars caught two different nomad speciments. While they didnt show any sign of agression and were lesser than those ones in the Omicrons, we have treated the situation with utmost care and stayed at Freeport 6 until their disappearing. It seems those aliens already infested a great part of Sirius.

I would suggest to all of our traders and transporters - especially the Captains who are owning Whales - to have an escort for such long trips because you can easily find your credit account drained or even worse, find yourself floating in an escape pod somewhere far away of Phoenix Spaceport.

Take care, friends!

Just another day in the Omicrons.....

Ahoy Phoenix's!

Today we successfully obtained another large quantity of specialized materials needed for production aboard Phoenix Space Port.

We set off in a small convoy bound for Omricron-7. We were relived to have been welcomed by local friendly's on arrival and were quickly on our way back without incident. However, on our return to voyage to Zeta (\^/)Peleus, our gunboat escort, suffered a complete navigational breakdown and drifted off at high speed towards the Omicron Minor jump hole. Fortunately, the crew was able to regain control and soon docked at PSP.



We were not without escort for long however as the Destroyer (\^/)Tesaria was in the area and very eager to go on her first escort mission, and filled her duty marvelously! Well done!



Once again however, we we're left without an escort as the (\^/)Tesaria had to dock to make repairs. It looked like we wouldn't be able to completely fill our stock after all, but we had to put our disappointment to the side quickly. We had been monitoring two Zoner- vessels moving through deep nomad space, we suddenly we detected 2 Marduk Type nomads moving to ambush! We decided to launch the (\^/)Vagabond. Although lightly armed and armored, it is the perfect choice to preform undetected search and rescue (and surveillance) missions in areas with dense nomad populations.



We soon detected both vessels destroyed. By the time we were on scene, there was no trace of either vessel or survivors. I can only imagine where they were taken buy those Marduks, who had vanished as quickly as they had appeared, leaving only destruction behind.....



On our somber return Journey to friendly space we detected a Zoner fighter, who's pilot had presumably met the same fate as the crews of the vessels we had gone to aid. We we're able to recover a rare CODENAME weapon for the boys at R&D making the voyage not a total loss.

We traced the origins of the Zoner- ships back to Omricron-74 were we had the somber duty of informing high command of the tragic loss of two ships to the nomads. We also took advantage of our presence to calibrate our cloaking device at Livadia Shipyard.



With the (\^/)Vagabond positioned between Omega-7 and home we were able to safely dispatch the (\^/)Royal.Flush to complete delivery of our objective material. We encountered a large autonomous craft on our return trip but we were unable to conform its ability to function.



With another days work completed, we look forward to tomorrow, where we will do it all over again....

Commander Dirk Danger out......
