Kamadhenu Attack 04033307

The Imperials hired me to go on a rescue mission in Kamadhenu today and what a spectacle it was.Approaching the signal source a squad of pilots were just jumping out. (St Michael, Emily Chambers, Sassia Bianchi, Kamekichi9)
I thought the site would be clear but when I dropped into the distress call there were a couple of ships still there and guess what, a large as life, living, breathing Thargoid, sifting through the wreckage of an Imperial Squadron.
There was an Interdictor, a couple of Cutters, Clippers and Couriers too many to number, slowly dissolving under the acid action of Thargoid weapons fire.
I thought if I kept my distance they wouldn't notice me but I was wrong, a volley of fire forced me away.
Fortunately I was ready and moved away as fast as I could but still lost a chunk of hull.
I watched as the Tharg shifted into whatever realm they travel in and then I returned to the wreckage.
Two other ships were going over the debris, names I didn't recognise from the Imperial Rescue Charter register. Pilot ids came through as Doc Janus and BlueToon.
At least one of them picked up some encrypted correspondence.
I have no idea what happened here in the heart of the Empire, I had arrived expecting to be patching up a couple of ships but there was nothing that could be done for these gutted hulls.
However, every cloud, even a caustic Thargoid one, can have a silver lining...Before the other pilots noticed I managed to scoop up a set of assault plans, a canister of 'Honesty' pills and...this is my favourite...an escape pod, or as I like to see it, a witness.
Honesty pills and a witness, I really can't believe it.
All I need now is a plan to exploit my good fortune and I could be set for life.
