It is quite quiet in Liberty - and i dont like this. Almost all personnel of Fort Severn is on the upper decks. However - patrols has been reinforced and security is vigilant. Im not going to even try to infiltrate restricted areas of base - until of course any direct orders are issued. Instead i will stick to my current identity.
The Norfolk shipyard is empty - place, usually crowded with all sorts of fighters, capital ships drydocked to repairs or just positioned in the area by vainly commanders to show the Liberty citizens their big toys or just remind anyone who comes around about military power of the house. Not a soul today.
Once i passed Norfolk - i feeled.. well.. something that i can describe as "psychic noise". It took some time until i identified the Nomad presence - but the alien influence was not as hars to resist as i expected to be. Still i doubt that i would noticed it if would not be trained to.
Afer i cleared my mind - i found the Keeper Purifier on my sensors, moving from the sun with same heading i had. I went impulse and began to gather a footage. After about one minute from initial contact creature turned 90 degrees to the left, clearly having an Alaska jumpgate as destination. Nomad entity has crossed my course several clicks ahead on cruise speed. Some time after the object has changed heading, my sensors lost track on the target - but i was able to have a visual on the vessel.
After the encounter i have reached my destination. It is worth noting that LN is constantly shifting units deployed on the border. The vanguard - or watch? - consists primarily from Type-23 gunboats.
Nomad encounter conclusions:
The creature, as i could identify it, was Irra - closest equivalent to this specimen in terms of firepower and defence, are heavy cruisers. However our research of this kin tells that no Nomad "capital ships" have a weapon capable of prolonged artillery bombardment. This Purifier was not an exception.
This Nomad was moving from the sun direction - i believe it was feeding in the New-York sun corona but cant say how long. It could be there for days and if it did - we shall double-check any suspicious activity in Liberty. This is none of ordinary Morphs or Labraids - this is grew-up Mindnode, and its presence indicates that Nomad are up to something. This is not coincidence - squids need their fancy Mindshare retranslated. Anyways, i will let the OSD look into matter. Im no scientist - you will need a closer analysis.
I shall warn any and all Order agents to be on their guard and pay attention to the weird matters. Im sure this creature was not using its full telepathic potential just because it had no idea there could be some people in the area trained to resist.
Surveillance footage is currently being analyzed and processed.
