Guten Abend,
I am contacting you over this secure channel with deep worries. When commanding my flagship the [RM]KKS-Einheit to investigate the recent unlawful activity in the Hudson system a strange object appeared. I will ask you to hold what has transpired in deep secrecy as it could undermine my authority if publicly revealed to those under my command.
When the object appeared, I had visions, visions of a wave storming over Rheinland, it appears I have even been non-responsive during this time. When I came to I ordered the destruction of the object and the visions stopped.
Code:

[22.08.2021 21:24:28] Vagrant.Nephele: **It \sails\ beckoning truth**
[22.08.2021 21:24:29] [RM]KKS-Einheit: K: what the hell
[22.08.2021 21:24:52] Vagrant.Nephele: *You can hear a peculiar sound, it is very weird at first*
[22.08.2021 21:25:07] Vagrant.Nephele: *And also the fact that it is hearabla in the void is a phenomenon*
[22.08.2021 21:25:09] [RM]KKS-Einheit: K: What is that sound, strange object, identify yourself
[22.08.2021 21:25:20] Vagrant.Nephele: *But, closely examined, there si harmony, like an crying whale*
[22.08.2021 21:25:54] Vagrant.Nephele: **Darkness...interrupts..the \Voyage\**
[22.08.2021 21:26:01] [RM]KKS-Einheit: K: What radio frequency is that auditory sense coming from RO
[22.08.2021 21:26:07] Vagrant.Nephele: **Once again...blaze..wrath**
[22.08.2021 21:26:12] [RM]KKS-Einheit: RO: Sir, the radio is not turned on
[22.08.2021 21:26:32] Vagrant.Nephele: **Devices of the \husk\ will not hear the *song*, Darkling**
[22.08.2021 21:26:32] [RM]KKS-Einheit: K: What the hell am I hearing then?
[22.08.2021 21:26:49] Vagrant.Nephele: **It is the \mind\ that hears, not the \metal\**
[22.08.2021 21:26:53] [RM]KKS-Einheit: RO: Unclear, instruments cannot detect any signal being received sir

[22.08.2021 21:27:53] [RM]KKS-Einheit: K: What the fuck are these vissions
[22.08.2021 21:28:00] Vagrant.Nephele: **With...minds..full of \filth\**
[22.08.2021 21:28:06] [RM]KKS-Einheit: K: Is this what the chancellor started to hear back then
[22.08.2021 21:28:15] [RM]KKS-Einheit: K: And Admiral Schultzky
[22.08.2021 21:28:20] [RM]KKS-Einheit: K: Can it be ***Them***

[22.08.2021 21:28:55] Vagrant.Nephele: **Tell IT..\Darkling\..do you wish for \Truth\?**
[22.08.2021 21:29:35] [RM]KKS-Einheit: K: The Thruth? What is the thruth! What are these visions"
[22.08.2021 21:29:44] Vagrant.Nephele: **|Tide| of |knowledge| will not be bound**
[22.08.2021 21:29:52] Vagrant.Nephele: *Suddenly, your vision changes*
[22.08.2021 21:29:53] [RM]KKS-Einheit: K: I hope we weren't expansive, that we never ventured to those systems
[22.08.2021 21:30:04] Vagrant.Nephele: *You cant see your crew, or your ship, anymore*
[22.08.2021 21:30:18] Vagrant.Nephele: *Instead, there is an endless, pitch black sea*
[22.08.2021 21:30:28] [RM]KKS-Einheit: K: What is going on, RO, can you hear me!
[22.08.2021 21:30:36] Vagrant.Nephele: *With tides crushing against enormous monoliths made of shiny metal*
[22.08.2021 21:31:07] [RM]KKS-Einheit: K: What does this mean, is that ***thing*** we saw making me see this
[22.08.2021 21:31:16] Vagrant.Nephele: *Suddenly, the horizon goes white, and is set ablaze, the whole scene burning in this inferno*
[22.08.2021 21:31:31] [RM]KKS-Einheit: K: No! Stop!
[22.08.2021 21:31:32] Vagrant.Nephele: *Then, your vision is back, you are on the vessel again*
[22.08.2021 21:31:42] Vagrant.Nephele: *Sadness*
[22.08.2021 21:32:11] Vagrant.Nephele: **This is the |tide|, \Darkling\ It will come**
[22.08.2021 21:32:15] [RM]KKS-Einheit: K: Report! did we lose power?
[22.08.2021 21:32:25] Vagrant.Nephele: **Tide greater than |Darkness| and |Radiance|**
[22.08.2021 21:32:27] [RM]KKS-Einheit: Helm: Sir you were just ...standing there
[22.08.2021 21:32:56] [RM]KKS-Einheit: K: I saw visions, visions of doom, of what happened in the past
[22.08.2021 21:33:05] Vagrant.Nephele: **The \Void\ knos the \answer\ but will not give it...easily**
[22.08.2021 21:33:11] [RM]KKS-Einheit: K: Of times when Rheinland ventured too far and brough with them something unholy
[22.08.2021 21:33:31] Vagrant.Nephele: *Each |Mind| resolves the Knowledge on its own*
[22.08.2021 21:33:57] Vagrant.Nephele: **Joy**The speck of *Knowledge* was understood**
[22.08.2021 21:34:34] Vagrant.Nephele: **Void drowns in \Darkness\ will not help us...now**
[22.08.2021 21:34:36] [RM]KKS-Einheit: : The Admiral doesn't reveal the visions he has seen with his bridge crew, he cannot lose his stature, he, perplexed decides to
[22.08.2021 21:34:37] Tip: You were a new player once. If you see someone making obvious mistakes, talk to them and help them.
[22.08.2021 21:34:56] [RM]KKS-Einheit: Talk to those that might understand, those that are not just simple military minds, and keep the visions to himself for now:
[22.08.2021 21:35:01] Vagrant.Nephele: **What is the answer...|Darkling|, will you dance with the |Ligh|?**
[22.08.2021 21:35:19] Vagrant.Nephele: **Or will you seek |Truth|?**
[22.08.2021 21:36:07] Vagrant.Nephele: *The cry heard before begins anew, with even more layers of harmonising tones than before*
[22.08.2021 21:36:13] [RM]KKS-Einheit: K: The Admiral does not want this to continue, he remembers the horrors of Nomad war, the friends he lost
[22.08.2021 21:36:15] Vagrant.Nephele: *Did it change..or did you?*
[22.08.2021 21:36:46] [RM]KKS-Einheit: K: He cannot take it anymore, he indeed has heard the warning, decides to make the object dissapear
[22.08.2021 21:36:53] [RM]KKS-Einheit: K: Gunnery, fire at the object
[22.08.2021 21:37:07] [RM]KKS-Einheit: G: Sir it is not moving, seems just floating there, maybe we could call our scien..
[22.08.2021 21:37:14] [RM]KKS-Einheit: K: FIRE NOW, THAT IS AN ORDER!
[22.08.2021 21:37:25] [RM]KKS-Einheit: G: Roger sir, weapons ready
[22.08.2021 21:37:26] Vagrant.Nephele: **Hate...gets....Hate**
[22.08.2021 21:37:39] Vagrant.Nephele: **IT is not afraid of \Dance\**
[22.08.2021 21:37:51] [RM]KKS-Einheit: K: Crews, battlestatons!
[22.08.2021 21:40:02] Death: Vagrant.Nephele was put out of action by [RM]KKS-Einheit (Gun).
I am deeply worried about what has transpired - could this be a sign of the times three decades removed returning? Is my mental health in jeopardy?
I would appreciate if I could contact discreetly seek the attention of your experts vested in this area. I have to take precautions and make sure that If there is any sort of danger of residual influence by the object persisting even after I have commanded by crew to obliterate it, that it is addressed.
I thank you for your discreet approach in this matter and further instructions.

To: Admiral Arnold,
FIrst, I wish to thank you for bringing this to my attention on short notice. What happened there is plain obvious to me - a Nomad entity transpired those visions directly into your mind. But that you should've already realised at this point. I will leave the questioning of what left your crew unresponsive to obvious threat for so long for another time.
What you need to bear in mind, Admiral, is that those visions have nothing to do with reality, Alien entities are capable of exercising all sorts of mental illusions upon their victims. The weaker the mind - the greater effect the illusion will take. You have been deceived, plain and simple, and there is no reason whatsoever to trust in what that Alien filth blurted out. If Nomads wanted to flood the sector or cause another mayhem on the scale of events of a Nomad War - it would have happened at this point in time, but the key point is - they are unable to. It is unclear what have prompted the change but all they are capable of now is regular House space incursions to cause chaos, disdain and decrease our manpower slightly.
These savages understand no diplomacy, impossible to be reasoned with and the only way you see an Alien should be at the gunpoint of your vessel. Be the first one to pull the trigger and do not let the Aliens feed you more visions of fake future. If you are concerned for your mental health - all I can suggest is a visit to Weimar, where our specialists will help you dealing with the aftermath.
If not - return to your service, and remain ever vigilant. To ensure the Alien entities efforts are choked on at their beginning - I will dispatch multiple Buro wings to deal with the issue and, if necessary - quarantine the area.
From,

Guten Abend,
You have put ease into my mind - I have no reason to doubt your judgement, I can see how they would want to sow fear and make us over-react and deplete our resources when they are unable to strike on a large scale basis. I will go for the checkup just in case and keep ordering obliteration of the incursions.
The Büro des Marinenachrichtendiensts would be wise to turn attention to the Hudson system - I am not sure if it is a coincidence, but along with the Alien sighting there has been a rapid increase in Xeno activity, and even strange researchers, freelancers, Rogue Donau cruiser and wandering repairmen have been mentioned in reports from our patrols. I am giving you access to one of them just as an example,
We are just doing our straightforward duty, perhaps the Büro can investigate and tell us if these are just unrealted coincidences caused by the increased traffic from our now unified and secured house to Liberty or if there is a systemic problem looming in the Hudson system
Hochachtungsvoll,
Alexander Arnold
