AFTER ACTION REPORT c1102 HIVES

 

tonight starting at around 2030 a small strike force consisting of the following pilots:

clanlord
Darkness
Morris
Tui
Gen.TRA

set out to see if it was possible to destroy the hives in C1102
4 bombers and 1 phoenix as fighter support ( flown by Gen.TRA) set out on this task

we focused our nuke strike at the central hive in the sector in the initial attack run

second run Darkness went for the central hive while myself and tui went for the hives at 11k out

3the run we targeted the central hive again and Darkness managed to destroy it

then the strangest thing happened the hive respawned instantly.

as far as previous intel reported we were led to believe that we had 60 minutes to destroy the hives in a sector after the first one was destroyed , but given the instant respawn this seems like an impossible task .

we are holding attack operations for now until more intel becomes available

regards Clanlord

Personal Log

Klatsches Hold

I logged-in to duty today and was surprised to find quite a few others on duty as well.  As far as I can tell, the roids are still not cooling properly (although some did look to be a lighter shade of blue) and there are currently no faction or TRI missions.  So I guess everyone was flux-hunting, hauling or pureing.

I was just on to tune beacons.  I did one run up through Ekoos and RV over to Tripoint.  Then a run from Tripoint through Path of Hordes to QC.  Then a last run from QC over to KH.  Other than the number of people I saw on F5, nothing much exciting.

Crackpot Warnings

Well, the mission went off as planned, unfortunately. I hated to see megacredits worth of lab go up like that, but trust me on this – you didn’t want that lab in the hands of those AIs.

“DPDQ”, though… days after it happens, they pop on to send a message in hex (much less complicated than just sending a message in Standard – which they obviously know, since the hex corresponded to Standard on a letter-by-letter basis – huh?) saying “no more”. Uh, yeah, I won’t blow up any more one-of-a-kind computer labs at Amananth station, thanks for the reminder. Oh, and thanks for all the help fending off the AI hackers trying to take it over, by the way.

Could have used some help, but hey, make sure you scold me for blowing it up when both my cybernetically-enhanced connections, and the literal creator of the AIs in question can’t keep out that same group of AIs from a lab in *your* station, that *you* pledged to help safeguard – because we’re both flesh-and-blood pitted against AIs. Raw computing power trumps age and sagacity, I’m afraid.

Whatever “DPDQ” is, though, it’s a brain-damaged idiot. Oh well. So long, new Aman AI – and thanks for all the fish.

DSS Recovery & Decryption DSS 116.6.11D1B-0

This is a very large binary dataset from a “Rare” DSS-1 found in Narrow Canal.  Although decrypting from binary might seem like a simple decoding task, all I get is a lot of punctuation and symbols.  If you would like to take a look, it can be downloaded HERE.

Like Clockwork

BASIC’s brute force attempts on the CWCC’s security continue unabated, with only a minor downtick in severity during the Antiflux resupply project. (Probably due to Avicenna’s attention being split as he navigated). Aelagi continues to stem the tide, but even she can’t keep this up forever. I’m really hoping we won’t have to resort to the measures I’ve established as a fallback.

Time is slipping away from us – and I really don’t want to do what it seems I’m being forced to do. Our cooperation was very much situational, and didn’t stem from any renewed goodwill on their part.

DSS Recovery & Decryption DSS 116.3.23D4D-1

This is another one that was in perfect condition.  It was recovered a couple of years ago in Ekoos Stop by Hammer-BS.

A BASIC Pattern

I was monitoring the link back to the CWCC just now. I watched the traffic spike, yet again. Another brute force attempt from somewhere in Amananth space. Aelagi also reports multiple attempts on her secure mainframe – and I am fending off wide spectrum DDOS attacks on my own station’s connection, way over in Hyperial space.

Someone wants my data – or, at least, me kept occupied. I might have to arrange something a bit more… direct… in response. My contingency plan is nearly complete.

In other news, I flew escort for Nuncio out through unreg to set up his new station in, well, Last Parsec. That was pretty neat.

Also received a donation from a benefactor – to the tune of 100 million credits – to continue our work opposing the factional governments on their Conflux policies. It gets expensive thumbing your nose at inflationary profiteering – but we shall persevere. I don’t care how much like an AB4 they think Antiflux should be. They’re wrong.
