Nomad 1 System - Unknown Monkey Facility.

We show Area has cleared! No more hostile activity whatsoever.
Good job guys! If you keep up the great work we will be able to finish our new facility in less than two weeks.

It's always a pleasure helping the Monkeys in their fight against our common enemy.
Besides,you guys are paying us quite well for the Nomad looted equipment and artifacts.

Speaking of nomad equipment,i've managed to get myself two Nomad shields and five Blasters.So what you say,Ahote?How much are you offering this time?

I'm afraid that it will have to wait,Mr.Boyd.We have some more urgent matter that needs to be taken care of.
Are you guys interested?

Sounds serious,please go ahead.

One of our observers has picked up an unusual anomaly in the E5 sector.It appears to be a wormhole,however,the nearby radiation level is way to high compared to any other Wormhole.
We have immediately informed the Order about this and they have already dispatched an Omega Squadron to the scene.

Let me guess,the Fugitives are fooling around again,right? I wonder whenever they are going to give up on their hit and run guerilla tactics.

I am sorry to disappoint you but it's not the Fugitives this time.
From an unknown source we have been informed that it might be the Hel who have created this wormhole.

The Hel?Never heard about this race.I'm requesting additional information.

We do know that this race is all female and within its cells it holds a diseased and infecting chromosome.They are also known to be extremely agressive and some believe that it is infact the Hel who corrupted the nomad species and turned them into what they are today,as opposed to what the Dom Kavash left behind.

Extremely agressive and infectious diseases,that's just great.

Hold on! You should have a look at this picture taken by our observer.I'm uploading the data!

What in Gods name!?I've never seen something like it before!

Interesting,so what will be our instructions for this mission?

Your task is to secure the perimeter and make sure that nothing goes in or out of that wormhole untill our scientist have finished with their information gathering.
You won't be operating on your own as the Robots have also decided to investigate this anomaly and as previously mentioned the Order will also show its presence.
Please hook up with them along the way.I'm uploading the waypoint information into your Navmaps.
Good luck pilots!Ahote,over and out!

Waypoint data received! Setting new coordiantes! Let's go.

I'm right behind you!

The two Freelancers are on their way to the worm hole and after five minutes they are already being intercepted by a Robot Patrol.

This is Epsilon two dash one,to uknown pilots.Please identify yourselves.

This is Iota five dash two.We have been hired by the Monkeys to secure a nearby perimeter.We're heading to the E5 proximity.

Roger that,Iota five dash two.Please stand by.Entering group formation.

Group formation sucessfully established.Processing new coordinates.

New coordinates received.Entering new destination in the Navigation map.Diverting power to main engines.
Ignition!

No offence,but can't you guys just speak normal?

Negative,Iota five dash two.Unable to comply with request.

Well,i have a toaster as a wingman and you have a cofee machine close by.What possibly can go wrong?

Please rephrase,Iota five dash two.Unable to detect nearby cofee machine or toaster.

This should be fun.Enough with the chit chat though,we're closing in fast on our destination.

Destination in visual range.Distance -5 K and closing.

Destination reached.Exiting group formation.

Once on sight the Freelancers are being greeted by the leader of the Order Squadron.

This is Omega one,im in charge here.You will submit to my command.

Negative,Omega one.We are here on behalf of the Monkeys and were told that it is our mission to secure the permimeter.Don't worry,we will not intervene in your business as long as you stay out of ours.

Is that you,Lambda sixteen?It's been quite a while hasn't it?I heard that you're working for the Apes now...

Look,we really don't have time for this.Why don't you just tell us wich perimeter is unsecured and requires a patrol?

You guys will take the South East perimeter.We and the Robots are covering the rest.

Roger that,Omega one.We're on our way!

Good luck guys!If you notice anything unusual don't hesitate to contact me on our secure channel.
Omega one,over and out!

You know that guy?

Yeah,we used to work together as Bounty Hunters for the Europa Navy until he decided that he needs something more challenging so he mooved on and joined the Order guild.
That guy is pure hardcore!I only know few who can pilot or shoot like he does,so it doesn't come as a surprise that he made it to a squadron leader.

Well,it's always good to have an experienced fighter like him on our side.There,we have reached the South East perimeter.Let's start with our area patrol!

The two Freelancer start their patrol.Within fifteen minutes nothing unusual happens and one of them decides for a change.

This is getting kinda boring.I'm going to have a closer look at this so called worm hole.

You sure you know what you're doing?Just in case,i'll be ready with my tractor beam.

Don't worry,i'll be fine.Closing in on worm hole.Ahote was right,the radiation levels are skyrocketing here.

Freelancer please stand back.We have almost finished with our info gathering.Your presence here is unneeded.

Well,i'm a scientist myself,gathering radiation level readings for the Ageira Technologies.

Understood,Freelancer.You may proceed.

You,a scientist for the Ageira Technologies?Now that's funny!
Hey,wait a minute.Something's happening!

Yeah i see it too.The worm hole seems to be growing larger in size!The radiation levels are getting lower,though.

The worm hole is growing bigger and bigger with every minute passing.

Okey,i've seen enough.Pull back,this is getting way to dangerous!

I agree,i'm out of here.
This is Iota five dash two to Omega one.Please come in Omega one!

Go ahead,Freelancer.

I really think that you should come here and have a look at this.The worm hole has doubled its size in less than five minutes.

Acknowledged!I'm on my way.

The Order leader rushes in accompanied by his wingmen and a dozen robot fighters.

Status report!

We show radiation levels have dropped by sixty-five procent.If my calculations are right then the chances are very high that somebody actually activated this worm hole on its other end,perhaps even entered it.

You mean that The Hel are on their way here?How many of them have entered the worm hole?

I'm afraid that we cannot read how many ships are inside the worm hole.It could be one,a dozen or even a whole fleet.

I've heard enough!To all nearby patrols!I'm requesting immediat backup!The enemy is inbound, you have permission to engage!

In a short period of time a huge fleet of Robots and Monkeys gather arround the worm hole prepared for battle!Minutes are passing but nothing happens until finally something makes its way out of the worm hole.

Annihilate it!

Hold it!My scanners are picking up a humanoid presence on that ship.

We don't have time for this!There are probably many more of them incoming!

Sir,with all due respect,i think you should listen to him.I'm picking up the same readings!

Fine,just hurry up.

This is Freelancer Iota five dash two,calling unknown ship.Please come in!I repeat.Freelancer Iota five dash two calling unknown ship.Please identify yourself!

I'm picking up a cybernetic presence on that ship aswell.It seems to be somehow embedded with the humanoid.

To unkown vessel,please come in.
Come on,just give us a sign of life,that's all i'm asking.

Soon after the Freelancer ends his transmission a frail voice makes itself heard on the radio frequences.

Help.....please.....help.

Good God,what have they done to you?

Get her out of here as quickly as possible!

Roger that,Sir.I will take her to the recently established Monkey base nearby.
To unknown pilot,we're here to help.I'm requesting you to join our formation so we can escort you to a nearby base.A medical team will be waiting for you there and you will be safe.Can you comply?

Some moments pass but in the end the woman manages somehow to enter the group formation.

Good job!I could use some help just in case i'll encounter Nomads.

I'm taking up front!Let's get this woman to safety.

Go go go!

This is Iota five dash two, calling Ahote.Ahote,please come in.

I hear you loud and clear.Please go ahead.

We've got one injured woman with us.Prepare a medical team in the landing bay.

Understood!What's her status?

We don't know.It appears that she was forced to undergo some monstrous experiments by the Hel.She barely speaks but apparently can understand our language.
You have to see this for yourself.Her body seems to made out of cybernetic components.

Monkey Base in visual range!

Requesting to dock.

Your request to dock is granted!Please proceed to dock two.A medical team is ready to assist.

Thank you,Ahote.

The woman is being rushed to the medical section of the base where her life signs are closely monitored by a team of medics.
The medics report to Ahote that her human body was completely removed and only the head was left.Her current bodyshape is made out of mecanic components including artificial inner organs.Brain activity is visibly altered.

How is she?

Her status is critical but stable for now.

That's good to hear.

Please follow me,i would like to introduce you to the equipment dealer of our base.He is a trusted friend of mine and one of the best monkey Engineers to be found.

The three make their way to the equipment dealer who managed somehow to hack into the ships mainframe and gather valuable information.

Pliots,this is the base engineer,Raka.

Hi there,how's it hangin'?

It's a pleasure meeting you.So what exactly did you find inside the ships computer?

A very good question!Please follow me i have restored some of the data on my own computer.
Have a look!

Raka has managed to access a list containing the names of numerous woman believed to be abducted By the Hel.

This is an uncomplete list of missing humanoid women.I'm sure that you will recognize some of these faces as most of them are known across the Sirius sector for numerous achievements.

Yeah,Midori Harada,i know her.She is one of the most skilled PvP'ers across the Sirius sector and Claudia Schmidt the Rheinland General,she masterminded the Rheinland Invasion of Omicron Theta.

These are only the first seven but we believe that the list contains hundreds if not thousands of victims.
We cannot confirm this but it is very likely that these women are being manipulated and used by the Hel as their sclaves to fulfill various tasks.

Various tasks,like flying a ship for example?

Among other,yes.We strongly believe that there must be a connection between the Hel and the mysterious disappearance of these women.

I always wondered about the fact that this race is all female.Now everything makes perfectly sense.

These filthy scumbags have kidnapped the best female pilots of the Sirius sector and use them for their own purpose.
That's just disgusting.

Please follow me to the ship hangar as we have also managed to demount the Hel weapons and replace them with some of our own.

How is this possible?I am very well aware that only Hel or nomadic weapons can be mounted on these sort of ships.

Well,i've managed to bypass the security code of the ship and even mounted six annihilator type C weapons plus two tizona del cid anti shield weapons.

Good choise,i might add!

Thank you!I'm still having difficulties with the mine and torpedo launcher but eventually i'll get through to them aswell.

Everybody closely follows Raka's explanations about the Hel ship but suddenly the Base computer interrupts the conversation.

Incomming Transmission...
To Mr.Ahote:Your presence is being requested at the medical base section.The patient has started to talk.

The three are rushing to the med section to see what the woman is saying.Once there,medics are telling them that she keeps repeating the same sentence over and over again.They enter the room and gather next to her bed.

It's okey,your safe here.There's nothing you should be afraid of.

Please tell us what happened?

The woman looks at the two Freelancer but only manages to repeat the same words.

They are coming!They are coming!

Shortly after she loses her conscious.Not much time passes and Raka already detects an unusual presence,indicated by the long range scanners of the base.

Hey guys,i think you should have a look at this.Long range scanners have picked up a massive presence of Hell ships in the E5 sector.Monkey and Robot forces report taking hostile fire.

There's no time to waste.Your ships have been refueled and are ready for launch.Hurry to the launch bay.

Let's go!

One of you Freelancer should take that Hel ship.It's fully functional and well equipped.

I'm not swapping my Spartan Lady for any other ship in this univers.

Copy that,Raka!I'll take that ship,thank you for your efforts.

The two get to the launch pads and man their ships.

Ready for take off!

Let's move out!Setting coordinates for E5.Max power to engines!

Please hurry guys,Monkeys are dying out there!I'm afraid that i cannot be sending any other forces to aid you.Our fleets are gathering near the main Monkey Outpost of Nomad 1 and are on stand by.Their orders are to protect that base only as it is of great importance to our race.

Don't worry about it,Ahote.It's not your fault.

You can always count on us, and be assured that no Monkey or any other allied member will be left behind.

Thank you,Freelancer!Long range scanners are showing that you're closing in.Are you in visual range?

Affirmative!My Goddess,they are all over the place!Do you see that?!

They will pay for what they have done to all of those women!

The Freelancers made it to their destination where the battle was raging!

We've lost another Ape!Regroup!I repeat,regroup!

Omega one this is Iota five dash two.We're here to help.

Welcome aboard guys!Let's take them out one by one.Follow me!I'm engaging Sigma three dash two!Opening fire!

Copy that,Omega one!Weapons online!I see my Target!Dropping the Hammer!

Take him down!Take him down!

I've picked up a fool on my six.

Roger that,Omega one!i'm breaking formation!Got visual on enemy target!

Unleash hell!

Target destroyed!

Let's help those Robots!I'm engaging Sigma seven dash one!Enemy shields are down!

Firing weapons!Enemy taking damamge!

Status critical!Nanobots and Shield Batteries depleted!Hull at 17 procent and dropping!Commencing with ejection.

Hurry,eject now!Too late,damn it!

We've lost a Robot Druid! Scanners show multiple bandits at two o'clock!Prepare yourselves for incoming fire!

Ten-Four!I see them!Starting evasive maneuvers.

I'm getting hit pretty hard!Shieldbatteries respond well.

Area scan has picked up new enemy targets closing in.Enemy opens fire!

We're getting outnumbered.They just keep coming out of that worm hole!

I'm in urgent need of help!Lost life support!Lost engine power!Lost main supply!

Hang in there!We're coming to aid you.

I got you covered!Hurry up you can still make it!

But just as the Monkey research ship was close to escapeing a loose Ripper Mine hits its weakened Hull.

Araaraaah! I don't wanna die!

And another one bites the dust.I'm reading multiple Monkey ships on retreat!Get back here,you cowards!

Calculating chances of mission success...result evaluated a less than 10 percent success rate.

Thanks for the update,cofee machine.Now how about for some cover fire?!

Acknowledged! You request for cover fire is being executed.

Enemy target is down!What the hell?!Each time one goes down two new are showing up on the radar.

That worm hole,we have to block it somehow.I'm going for it!Just give me some backup fire.

Negative,Omega two!Pull back!Now!

As the second in command of the Order squadron approached the worm hole all hell broke loose as the enemy units unleashed all their fireing power on that single ship.The Order pilot had no chance of escapeing and it was all over in seconds!

I just lost one of my best wingmen!They'll pay for that!

All the brave pilots involved in combat fought well but their numbers have drastically dropped and only few are left standing.

There's no way we can win this.All our Monkey allies have been slaughtered and the remaining Robot forces are retreating.

Let the cowards run!It's time for me to teach these Hel whores a lesson!I'm going in for the kill!

What are you doing?!Pull back!This is madness!

Closing in on Enemy,i see my target!My shields are failing!

Omega one,activate your nanobots and shield batteries before it's too late!

Nanos and Bats are for sissies only!It was always a pleasure having you as a wingman,Lambda sixteen!Goodbye Freelancers,you have fought well this day!This one's for Johnny you filthy Hel!

Don't you do it!No!

The Order squadron leader closes in with tremendous speed on five Hel ships and just as he reaches a distance of few meters to them he lauches two Penetrator Torpedos managing to take out three enemy ships and inflicting significant damage to the other two.It appears that only the two Freelancers have been left standing.

Stay focused,mate!We're the only ones left.

We both know that this battle is over.It's been an honor fighting along you,my friend but now it's time to say goodbye.

I agree.Having you as a partner in countless missions was a great honor.Goodbye my friend.

Only few seconds pass and both of the Freelancers are gunned down by the Hel!In the meantime the nearby Monkey base prepares itself for the worst to come.

Sir,we've lost them!All our forces have been killed or fled the scene.I think you should consider abandoning the base.

It can't be.All these brave souls have sacrificed themselves for a greater cause.To protect us and everything that is good in the Sirius sector.And now their gone...their all gone.

Ahote,there's no time for grief.I'm showing multiple enemy vessels on our long range scanners heading this way.What are your orders.

Prepare for evac!

Yes,Sir! I'm starting the evacuation procedure.Changing alert level from yellow to red!

Code Red!Code Red!To all units on board,this base will be evacuated.You will proceed quietly and without panicking to your designated escape pods.

This is it.Here they come!

The Hel have reached the Monkey base and immediatly launch a rain of Torpedos towards it.

Incoming Torpedos!Incoming Torpedos!

Sir,please hurry up!

Let's get the woman and rush her to the escape pods.Computer,status report!

Base hull at 7 percent!Hull breach imminent!

With a last effort Ahote and Raka manage to reach the escape pods and launch to space.
The woman is with them along with the medical team of the base.Shortly after,the Monkey base goes up into flames,followed by a huge explosion.

We haven't been detected yet.Hold on a second!It appears that the Hel are retreating.Finally something good for today.
To all nearby escape pods!I have already informed the Monkey Outpost about your arrival. I'm uploading you the waypoint information,please proceed to your destination.

What about us,Sir?

Take us to the area where the battle took place.

But Sir,don't you think it would be more wise to head for the Outpost instead of risking more casualties?

We are the closest unit to that area!If there are any survivors,they need medical attention right away and we can provide it.It's the least thing we can do!Besides,we owe them this service after their sacrifice.

Understood,Sir.Setting new coordinates for the E5 sector.Engaging thrusters.

Slowly but steadily the Monkey escape pod reaches the E5 sector where the main battle took place.

Computer,scan the area for survivors.

Warning,sensor efficiency reduced!Starting scan.Scan at 28%...56%...72%...98%...scan complete.
Showing scan results:

10425 Units of Ship Hull Panels.

15670 Units of Scrap Metal.

7615 Units of H Fuel.

1450 Units of Engine Components.

769 Units of Alien Organisms.

9388 Units of Toxic Waste.

2290 Units of Water.

505 Units of Nanobots.

Scan complete!Zero signs of survivors.

That's strange.My scanner is picking up a living entity of humanoid origins.Yes,it appears to be a Pilots Escape Pod.

To unknown Pilot,please come in.Can you hear us?

Is that you ,Ahote?It sure is good to hear your voice but what are you doing here?The Hel could take you guys out in no time.

Don't worry about them.They seem to be retreating for now.How badly are you wounded?

I think i got some broken ribs and lots of bruises but other than that i'm alright.

What about the others?!Did anyone else managed to escape alive?

No,they are all gone.

I'm deeply saddened to hear this.

Stand by Freelancer,we're tractoring your Pilot Escape Pod along with ten Alien Organisms.Can't wait to examine those...

Raka,you made it too,that's great.What about the woman?

She's with us aswell.

Tractoring process complete.I'm sending some medics to have a look at you,Freelancer.

I can't believe i've made it.If i would have been out there for ten more minutes the radiation would have slowly killed me.Don't worry about me though,i'll be fine!Take care of that women,her survival is far more important.

You both are important to the Monkeys.So tell me how was it like,fighting against the Hel.

I have never encountered such organised pilots.The way they flew and dodged our torpedos was outstanding.And they were very equally matched.You just couldn't find a weak link,it was an almost perfect coordiantion from their side.We were outnumbered and crushed in a quite short period of time.It will be very hard against this newly discovered race.

They may have won this battle but the war has just begun and i am sure that the woman wich we have managed to safe will be of great help to us.
Raka,take us home.
