HEGEMONY HIGH COMMAND
On c+204.07.03, a distress signal is received by patrol group Charles near Triangulum system, upon approaching the origin of the signal, a low-tech station orbiting Pyxis was discovered. Patrol officer attempted to contact the shipyard radio but no response was received. The battery installations on the shipyard fires when patrol initialed docking, forcing them to backup. One of our enforcer’s navigation array was damaged during the retreat.
Four Hounds were observed leaving the base, verbal warning were given but ignored. All vehicles were disabled. Preliminary survey of the station indicates this was a construction shipyard dating back to c+158, however the parent company Pulsar Propulsion went out of business in c+172 and the station was reportedly scuttled.
Commander of patrol requested CODE ENIGMA, one detachment from 82nd assault battalion, two landing brigade stationed on Tytzia were dispatched to location. Two additional patrols on duty nearby Namaka were reassigned.
With station’s continue non-compliance to cease fire, regional command approved attack on the battery installations. All installations were destroyed with no loss. Landing brigade secured the exterior shortly after. The construction site remained powered on and operational. Twenty-eight workers outside the station were taken into custom. Two more unfinished hulls were seen on site.
Unknown devices are attached to workers’ central spine, no brain activities were observed in any of the subjects. While loading the subjects into HSS Heather Star for further examination, the crane on site reached for the vehicle and took hold of it, the portion of the construction site ejected from the station. A laser strike from HSS Nyannma managed to strike the tether and released the trapped vehicle with the craw still attached. No personnel injury occurred.
The primary entrance was then breached by the landing brigade. The interior was not illuminated. Workers can be seen manning various instruments. Verbal commands yielded no response. Six were taken into custom.
Squadron Bravo and Electrical engineers were sent to the generator room to reroute the power. While working on the panel, the console exploded, shrapnel struck one of the engineer, killing him. Medical assistance was rendered.
Squadron Alpha was then send to the mainframe controller room. Unlike the rest of the station, the room has a separate backup power source despite having the power rerouted. A housing is seen in the center of the room, identified as TYPE-65E connector, used to interface with domain era ai cores. While attempting to disconnect the housing from the power source, six defensive turrets were lowered from the ceiling, the two squadrons were caught off guard. Two were killed and three injured while the team retreated from the room.
The station was then evacuated to prevent further losses.
The scenarios encountered by the team so far would suggests an Alpha level intelligent but AI cores that are capable of integrating itself into an old station like this has not been seen since The Alston Mining Corp Disaster. This AI core is hereby designated code name “NECRO-03”, currently awaiting further evaluation by the AI RECOVERY 1st Division.
All air space within 6 Domain Unit of the shipyard are under quarantine, only ELITE division members and AI RECOVERY Team are allowed entry.
All personnel involved in this incident below level 7 are to be screened and their memories examined.
Further communications are to be made under SECURE CHANNEL #3 with direct line to General Alexis.
