Entry 27: The best combatants in the Galaxy to date!
16 Sep 2022K0B4LT
Whew, past couple months in general have been real busy. Aside from our Squadron's main operations, including diplomacy with a bunch of space truckers and potentially ticking off a much larger group than our own and still coming out on top, for some reason the more prominent members of the ENF have taken interest in the squadron leaderboards this season. The Combat category, in particular, the previous round we ended up in 5th place without really even trying, which spurred us on to want to win it for this season. Early on we managed to gain the lead in it, and with heavy effort we managed to hold. It also appears that my former Imperial Masters had an interest in it this time around, but they fell short near the end. It ended up with Us in First Place, the Xeno Ally Confederation in second, and The Anti-Xeno Initiative in third.While we were busy with that among other things, the aftermath of the Proteus Wave keeps getting interesting. An explorer found a weird-lookin' comet or something just behind Banard's Loop after being Hyperdicted by Thargoids, which made Canonn real curious about it. I went out to see it, meself, and it was kinda spooky: Some speculate it's likely Thargoid related given the green colour and the hyperdictions, but the blue swirls in it almost betray the thought. This was only a couple of weeks ago, and since then there's been another pair of these anomalies spotted. I think Canonn's calling them 'Hyperbolic Orbiters.' Or at least they were before their security was totally compromised by a virus. The Far God cult has been suspected, but I think it'd be too a low a blow, even for them.
(Author's Note: Seriously, Canonn's Official Discord is lost. Get out while you can!)
I had to return to continue my Squadron work, but in celebration I'm thinking about setting up my carrier for another Colonia trip. I don't know exactly when yet, but it'll be a public trip, from our home in EQ Pegasi to Colonia, to Sagittarius A*, and back. Due to the cost, I might have to ask the squadron to sponsor it, but I don't doubt they'd be on board.
For now, I feel like I need to make my own Anti-Xeno capable ship. There's been news that they're making a push, and I wanna be ready for it
