"Looks like things are getting a little crazy over there" says Zan over her tight beam comms
Captain Adam looks over to the communications officer, who just shrugs "transmitting in the clear, everyone is hearing it" says the officer.
"Ok, who the hell is Anubis?" says the captain not as keyed up as he might otherwise be due to his reletavely long distance from the starting battle.
"No idea sir, no information we have access to."
Captain Adam ponders for a moment, "do we care about this nonsense?"
Desai speaks up "It looks like our Caldari friends are joining the skirmish, we could send a wing out to poke at the fighters it would be a good gesture if nothing else."
The captain nods, "Very well... Navigation, Plot a randomized warp pattern to keep us a few light minutes from the battle but close enough to keep tabs. Raise all combat ships, wing one on defense, warping with us. Wing two, get in there and cause some trouble."
Captain Geroh fired up his Assault Cruiser, Blaster cannons loaded with neutron charges. He checked over the shield and armor system. within a few minutes the cruiser was prepared and ready. "Wing one, protect the Forge, Wing two on me." He said over the comms, When he did 4 Incurses attack frigates, an assault frigate formed up on him and warped to 70km on the Imperial Shuttle. Moments later his little force had activated their Micro warp drives, Armor Nanite pumps, and energized resistance plating. The force broadcast ORE iff codes to the surrounding ships but trusted that they where not going to become the prime targets due to all the capitals in the area.
Several Death gliders broke from the rest of the swarm to engage Geroh, "First customers lads, Web and Scram." he said calmly referring to the stasis web his Incurses frigates could apply to target ships and the FTL scrambling capability of his assault frigate. The team broke away in flights of two frigates webbing down a single Death Glider to nearly 25% of its original velocity and slicing it to pieces with their railguns. The assault frigate with its micro warpdrive kept pace with the attack frigates and applied its neutron blasters to the targets as well reducing the gliders to small clouds of radiation and burning atoms. Geroh and his assault cruiser acted as the heavy weapon platform he was designed to be and imposed himself between the swarm of fighters and his own force while they dealt with the remaining gliders. The gliders manage to score plenty of hits on the frigates but their resilient armor and nanite repair systems quickly compensated for the light damage they where taking from the relatively smaller ships. Being locked down with the web system reduced the glider's defensive ability to nearly nothing being incapable of evading incoming fire
"Status" ordered Geroh
"Venom, 80% shield, 100% armor, two kills."
"Abyss, 10% shield, 90% armor, one kill"
"Valiant, 45% shield, 100% armor, two kills"
"Deadman, 0 shields, 35% armor.. repair cycle done 45% armor, one kill"
"Well done lads, We will keep nibbling at the edge of this fight, no sense charging the Cap here and getting killed."

What about the fighters? I'm guessing they are one man unshielded craft?
I ask because if so they are in a lot of trouble.

Captain Adam considers the proposal. He was about to agree when he received the ultimatum of target locking the Caldari ship, which was fair but Adam wasn't going in blind. He wasn't that stupid to assume any of the ships here could be trusted. "Captain" he said finally, "I accept, we will work together and I'm sure ORE and the Ishukone Corporation will work out who owes who, that's above my pay grade." he held up his hands in mock surrender, however he did not appear sorry in any way "I apologize captain, I operate in Null-sec you understand. I wont take chances if i can get more information quickly and easily. Besides you would have had a hell of a time catching a Cov-op frigate... Anyway, Once we get our situation sorted out here we will warp to 20km and figure out how we can preform some repairs to your ship. but there is a good chance I am lacking minerals. bah, we can work that out later. Until then captain" He nods to someone off camera and the link is shut off.
"Engineering, report"
"Shield core is gone, we will need a new one. armor plating is repaired and the super structure is undamaged. The jump drive will need some work to calibrate. Jump fuel is down to.. 4000 m3. lets see, the capacitor seems to have taken a glancing hit, its charging 8% slower than it should. Oh and one of the command linkage modules is down, mining will be a little slower by... 15%"
The captain sighed, "thats not too bad She has taken more of a beating than this before. what about our fleet?"
The engineer looked nervous at the question which prompted the captain to get concerned, that wasnt usually even a question. his fleet always survived due to the clones and neural download implants, it just... always worked. Hell, Adam had died in several blazes of glory in his career which just happened sometimes. The captain turned on the engineer sternly.
"Engineer. report."
"yes.. we are at about 1/2 strength. well.. less, we have plenty of ships but something.. we only have.." the engineer sighed looking quite upset "only half the fleet seemed to, uh survive, we only have 15 pilots."
"Thats impossible" said the captain not quite up to the point of believing that his pilots had actually died permanently.
"Sir the only pilots we have where killed before the jump or where aboard during the jump. Captain 'Venom' our chief Security wing commander is not with us nor are any of the Battleship pilots or the strategic cruiser, or the Interdictor.. we lost a great deal of capability." said the engineer obviously troubled "we are down to two covert ops pilots, two full frigate wings and an assault cruiser"
The captain swore in his native Gallente dialect, "Communications, send a tight beam transmission to the Carrier, flag it as urgent and for the captain only. Inform him that.. the clone facilities may not be working properly, we may not awaken in a clone bay aboard a ship or station if we die out here. He can do with that information what he will.

After her mission Zan and her ship warped to another capital ship she scanned down appearing cloaked 150km away from the Endeavor, she dropped cloak for several moments to preform a detailed scan of the ship before re-cloaking and warping towards another signature.

"well... that was helpful." mumbled Zan in her pod before relaying the information back to the Forge.

The communications console came to life in front of the captain from the Caldari Carrier
"Hello, Captain. This is Captain Anttoss of the IKC Liberator, under the command of the Ishukone Corporation. We seemed to have stumbled into this system and not familiar with this Region. Would you mind Providing us some information? Maybe even some directions?"
The Captain looked over to the screen mildly surprised but showing no emotion, due to the precariousness of his situation. His ship was mostly stuck and the carrier could easily catch and destroy him and his little fleet. Captain Adam had not been in high security space for many years and nearly everyone he encountered needed to be carefully watched as friend or foe, he couldnt even count the numerous attempts to destroy his ship out in Null-sec and a Carrier was a formidable combatant
"Captain Anttoss, Regulation requires that i inform you that i am in command of this Rorqual on behalf of the Outer Ring Excavations mining syndicate." said the captain in hopes that if this Captain Anttoss was indeed caldari navy he would know that their economy was heavily reliant on the ORE syndicate for especially valuable materials and hostility against them would effect their reputation with ORE. After his claim however he visibly relaxed somewhat "That said Captain, I can not give you any information on this Region, Constellation or system. As far as our navigator can tell we are in uncharted space, possibly deep within W-space. I do have an offer for you however, our exploration frigate has found many other ships in the area and i would like to ask for protection while we make our way back into K-space. And under ORE regulation you or the Ishukone Corporation would be entitled to ~2B ISK on my safe return to ORE territory."
While this conversation was happening the Covert ops frigate warped to 100km from the Caldari ship, then dropped cloak to target and scan the Carrier relaying the information back to the Rorqual.
"However that 2B ISK may be forfeit if you require us to make significant repairs to your ship which would be more than a fair trade" says captain Adam finally as he glances over the report from the scan.

@Anomaly758 just go when it makes sense/you have time.
You don't have to wait for everyone but imo it's good to let other people go just so two or three people don't just take over the game.

I just realized, I should have low key broken the game by playing the Zerg...
@Dnafein
That would depend on each ship's sensors. I expect most ships that do not encounter space monsters or biological ships would just see a weird ship reading.

anyone with good sensor coverage would be able to see the scanner probes btw ;)
