As clearly shown they did fire upon the Cognitionis and at first, the damage output seemed superficial but as we moved closer to the site the nomad presence grew larger and utilized heavier equipment, mines and missiles were seen. The above guncam was taken within the outer edges of the Palau Ice Cloud not many photos were taken during the time spent in the cloud due to combat situations.

Transport to the gas extraction site was hazardous, the Cognitionis's shield was stable throughout the trip but it is advised to not travel their alone due to the increasingly hostile nomad presence the further into the Palau Ice Cloud. A radar interference within the cloud was noticed along with frequent storms that do not align with the current theorised elements within the cloud, however, these flashes didn't appear to create any noticeable effect other than to highlight the massive structures location, size, and shape.

[img float=left]https://i.imgur.com/sektrDw.png[/img]We made our way towards the mineral extraction zone by navigating by taking a linear route after a short rest and refuel on Yaren the site is located within the Palau Ice Cloud within sectors 3.2 F.C.

During our flight through the Ice could it became clear how large this structure is, the attached guncams show a few close up shots of the of the object. Both the exterior and interior appear to be damaged, including small bases on the inside which are mimicked and rotated on either side. Towards the rear of the object 4 fully functional weapon platforms open fire with effect.

With the scarcity of the gas pockets and Cognitionis, lacking any adequate mining equipment, took longer than expected to obtain the required sample, but a sample was taken back to Alabama nevertheless.

[font=Agency FB][size=15][color=#24356F]Conclusion[/color][/size][/font][hrc]#24356F[/hrc]
The mineral extraction site is easy to reach and visually stunning. Although tests are yet to be made, the ore appears to be simple to extract and very valuable. The presence and potential warning shots of the light AI craft we encountered is a concern. It is possible that the shots we received were simple warning shots and that increased Core| presence within Omicron Lost may trigger more regular activity from the AI vessels and even potentially damaging consequences. As such no Mustang Technologies agent is to venture into Omicron Lost without an escort, at least until further information regarding the AI presence has come forward.
