|DP| clan: Rescue operation 3014-01-25

[Guest]

Prologue

While the last IC-mission it was realized, that at least one of the alien-factions in the Inner Core systems established a new electronic warfare, which was responsible for the emergency landing of the half fleet on planet Culd in the Pyrddra system. Until now it is not sure, which of the factions and what technology was used.
The daily patrols continue with one exception: it is forbidden for them to enter Celldra, since the source for the computer crashes is assumed to be localized there.

Inner Core patrol Report 02 - date: 20.01.3014

A special operation was planned to find the exact localization of that new alien facilities. The repair ship |DP|repenne was equipped with a new shield that is cruise-disrupter proof, extra firewalls for the computer and new surveillance technology. Then it was sent to Celldra. To prevent a detecting by aliens the |DP|repenne was ordered to avoid any radio transmissions and using mainly passive scanners. Our long range scanners showed that the vessel successfully entered Celldra. But after its heading to a cloud in the North of Celldra we lost it. An emergency buoy with the logbook and scanner data was detected 2 days later in Pyrddra.

Because Lt.-Cmdr. Denne (former Lieutenant, but promoted due to his special accomplishment while the last mission) is still convalescing from his injuries in a hospital in New Mekka, this operation was commanded by Lt.-Cmdr. Ryker.

The tanscription of the logbook:

Date: 15.01.3012, Lt.-Cmdr. Tucker

After successful entering of the Ryssk system, i decided not to take the shortest way to Mepther. I set course directly between the 2 suns of the system for avoiding any contact with alien fleets. Only few fighter squadrons have been shown on our new passive scanner and it seems, that they did not detect us.

In Mepther we went a long way round in order to stay out of scanners range of the Dom'Razak station (coordinates: 4-D/C). Similar to our experiences in Ryssk it seems, we are invisible for the aliens, because none of their vessels wanted to intercept us.

Encouraged by this realization we started with the exploration directly after entering Pyrddra. The mission, Ensign Makato named it "mapping", went easy and quick. We made photos of all facilities and scanned the suspicious actively. As expected this resulted in the arising of several fleets by the system-dominating species Sentinel and Dom'Setek and we saw the new cruise-disrupter proof shield to be correct functioning.
With this satisfying knowledge we entered the destination Celldra. The so-called "mapping" of the free space around the Crydiss cloud went with the same patterns as in Pyrddra and so we were optimistic to enter that strange cloud in the North of the system. Till now our new shield and firewalls have shown no failures.

But what happened then was everything but expected. Whatever it was, it infiltrated our navigation and control computers. To avoid a crash with an asteroid nearby i decided to shutdown all computers. Unfortunately this caused a chainreaction that damaged the tank and we lost 98% of our H-fuel. It was a big luck, that all crewmembers survived and only small injuries were registered. We started immediately with repairs but it was clear that we were not able to head back to Weth. Our destination now is a repair buoy localized nearby.

Now that we are stranded here, far away of any human patrol route, our hopes lay in this small emergency buoy, that we equipped with all gathered information and a small rocket drive. We programmed it to head to Jormdar near the usual patrol routes. Our Oxygen reserves will last for 2 weeks. In case that no rescue mission will find us in due time, please send the personal logbooks of the crewmembers to their kinswomen. Yes, my mates made a great job and i am proud to be the commanding officer of this mission.
Lt.-Cmdr. Tucker out.

Attached you find the most important scanner data made by the |DP|repenne.
And of course a rescue mission is planned. As many human vessels - stationed in Weth - are still in repair, the composition of our fleet is not finally determined. Unofficially IOC-s Lt.-Cmdr. Reaper and the freelancers Lt. Tiga and Ensign Tschakito were ordered for this mission on 25.01.3014. Furthermore our headquarter requested several Dreadnoughts by the Sirius houses. Unfortunately this request was declined. Another request was sent to all important clans and freelancers and we are still waiting for replies.
So let's stay with the truth: this is gonna be one of the most dangerous rescue missions. We cannot provide a repair ship, but it is expected that the |DP|repenne is still active and its crew alive so that all received damages on Dreadnoughts and/or Battleships will be repaired at rendezvous. And, this mission is not just a rescue mission. Since many information in the emergency buoy were destroyed by heavy radioactivity it is very important to extract the computer core of the |DP|repenne. We need those information to develop new defense strategies and technologies.

The repairs on human vessels were accelerated. SA
Fleedcommander Forlon will lead fleet A from Weth. It
is expected that his Dreadnought "Hades" will be fully
ready for action. All pilots stationed in Weth are ordered to join fleet A. Lt.-Cmdr. Inpo (with his Borderworld Dreadnought) leads fleet B coming from Sirius sector. All pilots near Omega 3 are ordered to join fleet B.

Starting time for both fleets: 20:00 h

Fleet A and B meet in Jormdar , where the emergency buoy of |DP|repenne was found. Afterwards fleet B will be integrated to fleet A under command of Forlon
and we start the rescue mission.

Guys I have unplanned 'barbecue' action today and can't quarant my arriwal at time (I believe that I will be able come, but this is not 100%). If you can, will be good if we have there more ppl.

btw Hades is rdy to go (if i can made it )

I have my Inquisitor BS. I may be able to get it to Weth.....I don't know. I got some RL things a happening also =)

FROM: Fleet-Admiral Martind Forlon
TO: SAC
SUBJECT: |DP| repair ship rescue operation 3014/01/25

REPORT: Mission started without delays at 20:00 as was planned. We had 2 Fleets which launched at the same time from Weth (Fleet A) and Omega-3 (Fleet B).

Fleet A flagship was SA_Hades liberty dreadnought under my command.
Fighters escort was very strong this time:

(IOC)Reaper
WarVar
BG_Haggisfudge
SA_Lemon_FUD
SA_Hunter_ROOSTER
OldPenTom-2
ANybIS_IC
WarVar
~“_I_Sten-4_I_“~

Fleet B was led by (International-Police) borderworlds dreadnought, supported by second dreadnought commanded by FatBoy.
They had as fighter escort:

:-I_Tschakito_fun2_I-:
Warehawk
SA_xxxx_BANDIT
|DP|xxxx
(Fallen)Poorboy2
(International)-Ori

When we jumped from Weth to Ryssk I received message from SA_Rooster about his ship navigation system failure ... it looks that damage inflicted by dooms patrols one day earlier had some unwanted consequences. There was no time for field repair so he was ordered to immediately return to Mirttrak and do there thorough scan for all his ship systems. After this we moved quickly to Mepther and Pyrrdra. Dooms was it looks unpleasantly surprised with so strong human forces so theirs resistance at that time was rather pathetic. Theirs patrols were annihilated in seconds and we safely reached Celldra system where we headed to mission coordinates. Sentinel’s and Dom’Setek’s forces were prepared there and Fleet A had first tough fights with theirs fleets. We soon located repair buoy and also our main mission objective repair ship |DP|repenne. Because there was no signs of communication from repair ship we decided first to wait for Fleet B where were also DP technicians and H-fuel supplies. When fleet B arrived we were informed about heavy dooms resistance along theirs way, it looks like they had some intelligence information about this part of rescue operation. Fleet B had also some loses included new SA pilot Bandit, however his ship lifepod was caught by DP ship traction system and our pilot there was unconscious but alive. DP ship carefully maneuvered to repair ship and firmly linked both ships on emergency entry. Soon after was repair ship crew released from hibernation units which they decided to use and save this way limited oxygen resources on theirs ship. We were ready to go and with fully refueled and operational repair ship was now our time to strike hard on dooms forces. During our slow travel through Venn, Jormdar and Mepther we destroyed every doom ship we encountered … they will remember our visit for a very long time. When we were halfway to Ryssk, on scene arrived most feared Warrior spider battleships. Fight with them was tough and we lost few fighters, but in all cases we were successful with rescuing theirs lifepods so no one human pilot died there. Last fight was directly on gate to Weth, but few warriors cruisers was no match for our three battleships. Soon after we reached Mirttrack Base where were all injured pilot transported to local human medical facility.

Operation was fully SUCCESFULL, all mission objectives have been met.
