Another report from security,

First item of concern is a vessel named RV-Pennybrooke. This vessel has been in existence even before our great voyage, and mostly sighted around Omicron Delta and its adjacent systems. The individual, Kathrine, who is in command of the vessel has been know to be a nomad sympathiser and is hostile to both the Core and Order. Despite this open political view, we have been unable to obtain any hard evidence of this individual acting against Zoner interest other being an utter nutcase we come to see in the freeport once in a while.

Regardless, we have been keeping tabs on this individual, and recently our patrolling reconnaissance unit has caught an noteworthy incident. Our vessel, under camouflage in Zeta has managed to come across this vessel again. However, this time it was accompanied by two additional Vagrant vessels. It has made its way to a known conflict zone between the Core and Order, and fought in league with the nomads. Our vehicle cam below shows this in progress.

Log 01-24-00-08-01-61: Assisting Vagrants

After a period of engagement with human vessels, the vagrant and the RV-Pennybrooke moved into the Pohnpei Edge Nebula, where a Hive is known to exist. Our recon team ultimately took the gamble and went in pursue. Luckily capturing further footage despite running low on cloaking battery and nearly collided with a nomad fighter patrol. Our team noticed the Hive is not reacting with hostility to the presence of RV-Pennybrooke.

I have also disclose some of the intercepted transmission from RV-Pennybrooke. Our recon vessel had to periodically drop out of range to cool its cloaking drive, so may not be a conclusive log. In addition, we noticed were no detectable return communication from the Vagrant vessel, and are unsure whether it is ignoring or responding psionically in return.

Intercepted Transmission

In light of this development, I would recommend our vessel to steer well clear of the RV-Pennybrook, or be on combat ready alert in proximity. Past experience suggest it does not aggress on Zoner vessels pre-emptively, but we do not want to take any chances being caught unprepared, or be surprised if came to Nomads aid under combat situation.

===

Second item of concern is in regards to latest open contract advertised by the Wellers Bros. Inc. The company has been initially contracted by the Kusari Goverment in their effort to clean up the Taus, but in an absurdly twist of events the company then decided to subcontract further down to multiple Sirian corporations. In doing so, the location of Lividia has now been effectively compromised to public knowledge in a single stroke of idiocy for a short term, personal gain.

In the meantime, preparations are being undertaken to assign more security personnel to the shipyard temporary until all goods has been delivered. Our security will be there to ensure the subcontractors remains their specific assigned sectors and prevent any further opportunism. Mobile command vessel (\^/)Aegaeon is currently on route to the opening of the Peloponnese Edge Nebula to receive, and check any incoming vessel in and out of the shipyard.

Alec,

I have heard some rumors from some ore traders that several large and slow moving ships are moving towards the Edge Worlds, I wonder if this is related some how. I've heard them described and some sort of gigantic 'Barge Like' Super Transport type vessels. I've instructed the (\^/)Cressida to meet (\^/)Aegaeon in the nebula to assist with your patrols.

On the trade front, I am very pleased to report the continued success of Delta Mining Corp. in Omicron Delta. Some recent security concerns with trade vessels representing so called 'house corporations' had led the base commander close docking until a better solution could be arraigned for them. Delta Mining Corp. is a small and isolated base that relies primarily on snub craft and small capitol ship patrols for its defense. Without static defenses, the increased activity had drawn extra attention from the alien entities in the system led to an increased need for fighter patrols to preform extermination duties and not their usual cargo scans and credential checking. This led to certain undesirables acquiring stock without authorization and thus shortages of Iridium ore for us and our clientele.

A solution has been implemented by converting some unused storage at Fort Scorpius into an ore loading dock. Non-Registered ships are being directed there to acquire our materials, and I must say so far it has turned out to be a very successful endeavor. The stations own defense platforms and subsequent proximity to Freeport 11 are able to keep most of the Nomads at bay while our ships preform their usual visa and permit checks as per our needs. That being said, we are now moving out of the initial phase of our plans for Fort Scorpius. Next we will be moving the Scientific Data Assay Office to the station for our continued collection and development of anomaly and defense data for our planned expansion of Kadesh Orbital Colony.

Recently we were able to transport 150 units of Data along with 500 Million Credits to Kadesh with the help of a few escorts. I hope that these changes will not disrupt our great success and our trade efforts in Delta will continue to pay off.

All,

I can report the last of the super transports has made its drop off on Livadia, the (\^/)Aegaeon has also departed making its way to Freeport 11.
Not going to lie, when these fleet of massive ships beginning to arrive, I was more concern by one of these vessels colliding with the shipyard than having a security breach on our hands. I am sure the port controllers are also relieved to see this over with.

Anyway, I am no engineer but inspecting some of the goods that came through the port, the qualities of these mainframes surpass my expectations despite originating from a war wreck. If our qualified people are happy with this as well, then I am sure we just found our load of building material for the next few years. This could definitely be a new source of supply to ease the constant pressure of having to source lots of material quickly, in order to keep up with the rate the orbital colony is growing. Heck, we could even give our Kadesh a complete makeover with nearly twenty five thousand units of station lights I saw one barge was off loading... Why Indochine needed so many lights will be a mystery to me....

Urgent message to security department,

I'm reporting from Ragatonga Dock, I was sent from Livadia Shipyard on Lyra freighter class vessel due to urgent shipment to Ragatonga, technicians onboard had been told me that some of the hull segments of the installation were damaged since the last attack of the Nomads. Anyway its not about the topic, as everything seems to be in a state and repairs works already in progress.

While I've been in Yap Edge nebula, my sensors picked up strange signals coming from a remote part of the nebula. I was very surprised, as according to the flight table no one of ours should have been in the sector, but friendly - foe systems cannot lie. The source was repeating a short code, although it was coded, apparatus on my the Lyra were capable of decode the signal as SOS, so I swiftly switched my course to source of signal. It had a bit elliptical orbit and high speed, but as it left the nebula I managed to catch the source, it's a beacon pod which I've never seen before. According to first rough scans, it indeed belongs to one of our ships. So my question is, where I shall deliver? I believe the best place would be Corinth or Livadia, but it can take too much time while every minute counts.

Alvin · 02-06-2021, 02:10 AM,

Nova,

Well done on catching the source of the signal and securing the beacon pod. Deliver it to Livadia - the shipyard will have dedicated equipment to track and find which of our ship it belongs to. Few scientists will be brought over from Cornith to extract and decode the message.

I agree time is on the urgency here. Due to recent development around Omicron Zeta, I am sending extra fighter and freighter escorts to bring you in. Any distractions leave it to them to deal with, focus on brining the pod back at best speed.

Nova reporting in.

Per arrival of the escort we set our course to the Livadia Shipyard at best speed. No hostile activity was noticed, so we arrived at the shipyard before ETA.

The technicians onboard of the installation already take the core of the beacon and have set up an stand with necessary equipment right in the hangar bay to read all information - recognize the ship source, its technical condition and the coordinates of ship origin. I’ll stay there with engineers for several days, perhaps I could help them to repair the beacon, the body of it partially damaged. Not sure if the engineering team has access rights to all necessary ships specified details, I would like to ask you to give them access to the Phoenix blueprints databank, it would help a lot.

Alvin · 02-07-2021, 01:02 AM,

Access to the blueprints data bank has been temporary granted. Usage will be logged and monitored as per standard operating procedure on handling sensitive information. Ensure the area is secure with only authorised personnel and do not leave digital documents unattended when opened.

I am also prioritising resources to this project should your team require - fleet courier has been notified should you need any specialist material on short notice to repair the beacon, or for general bulk items contact Dirk Danger directly. Notify at once when you have further updates.

My fellow brothers and sisters,

Today I’m glad to announce I have been appointed Henrik Kocsis as representative of the Corinth Research Station. While not many knew him in our ranks, he’s a good friend of mine and he will do everything to boost our research studies and exploration missions for a better future for each of you.

Fellow colleagues, group members,

I am responding to the call for assistance regarding the beacon pod, my research vessel have just returned from deep space and will be arriving at Livadia shortly. I will disembark when our vessel is given the all clear from the screening protocol for returning ships, and head straight to hanger 53 to assist Nova and her engineering team and look at their discoveries so far.

For those not familiar with myself and my work, I specialise in Quantum Mechanics and Mathematical Linguistics, mostly devoting my research trying to understand the workings of various spatial anomalies or any mysteries our universe have to offer. I am also an Emeritus fellow with the New Imperial College London, and my previous work sometimes come in collaboration with Cambridge Research Institute and the Heisenberg Open Institute in Cologne. More recently, I have been spending most of my time trying to locate our CoreFleet - despite no luck so far finding our Home Ships, I have not given up hope and one day that we will either retrace their position or even establish contact with the fleet.

In the meantime, I will focus my attention on the beacon pod and help decipher what it is trying to tell us.

RedEclipse · 03-01-2021, 09:36 PM,

To Trade and Security departments,

Gentlemen, it's time to review our assets. With new acquirements we should to rework their initial role to fit our needs. While most of their installations are fine as it is, today's my concern would be Fort Scorpius.

It had played a great role in reconstruction of the Freeport 11, but with works on the Freeport done it have lost its original purpose. For now Freeport could defend itself likewise we have several of the capital ships nearby on the patrols, so we can defend Freeport in case of the threat, furthermore we have to corefleet nearby of the Kadesh in one day. As you may noted, due to different mass of the installations and their speed, For Scorpius recede from Freeport's circular orbit.

Stabilizing the orbit of the Fort Scorpius to stay on former orbit not far from the Freeport would require a high amount of the resources, so we have several options. First one and most fast is to flood the station before it collapses into some other non stable object in Omicron Delta, if maintenance of said station would be unreasonable in both perspectives of your departments. Second option is to find a better and more suitable location for the installation, which would serve our interests and maintenance would be covered up by commercial operations.
