| AFTER ACTION REPORT (AAR) SOLARIAN SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND (SOLSOC) Prepared by Loren Voss Authorized for release to Gebler Special Exploratory Group (SEG) (Clearance-confirmed contractors included) |
| SCENE LOG: | Violence Is Our Language |
|---|---|
| LOCATION: | Aveh Desert |
| PARTICIPANTS: | 2LT Voss, Lily Keil (AKA 'Nova') |
| DESCRIPTION: | Engaged Keil post-removal from incident in Nisan; fighting caused collapse into stalactite caves under the desert. Navigated caves, escaped, and returned to base. |
| PRE-EVENT SUMMARY: | Intrusion from Keil forced removal from the conflict in Nisan against an unknown force apparently under the control of POI Parringer. |
| EVENT SUMMARY: | Gear engagement with Keil in the desert; her Gear is an Ether-capable stealth-focused machine identified as Hellerune. This was allegedly stolen by her from Aveh sandships post the incident at the Guardian Temple; it must be one of ours though I can't identify the model. During engagement Schiehallion's flight unit was damaged and shortly afterwards terrain collapse dropped us into sub-desert caverns. Under the circumstances, I worked with Keil to escape the caverns. We encountered a white Gear of unknown model, seemingly without a pilot; highly likely this was controlled via remote or AI. We were able to trap it in a part of the cavern and make our escape. On the way out we encountered a man calling himself 'Old Man Bal'; he's likely little more than a demented old man but he did mention a few scraps of information -- speaking about 'a paradise taken to the sea' in a strange story about God -- which may suggest he has had contact with a Shevat agent or similar who may have alluded to Etrenank. Due to heavy Gear damage, returned to base after escaping to the surface rather than continue engagement with Keil. |
| RECOMMENDED ACTION: | Keil has only furthered her capacity for Ether-oriented destruction and reiterated her vendetta against Gebler; threat reevaluation or further observation of her/her group's activities. Identification of white autonomous Gear advised. Further investigation of the old man and potential contacts may be of interest. |
