ENCRYPTION: High PRIORITY: medium COMM ID: Charles Manson SUBJECT:Nomad research
The nomad threat on Liberty has been rising for the past couple of months and so i decided to take some action on that matter, to try and help limit this threat. What i needed were a few nomad remains, some fresh and solid alien materials and if possible to gather some useful information to successfully conduct my research...Omicron Iota was the best choice for all that.
I contacted and arranged my self a meeting with the Chief coordinator of Tactical Operations department, Elijah Brand, for approval on my mission to the Alien world. I briefed him on my ideas and he gave me a go...Even decided to lead this mission personally. I was quite pleased, my odds of success greatly improved with the presence of such a skilled and capable Captain by my side.
The Nomad Hive
We launched from Battleship Missouri and proceeded to Alaska, from there to Minor and then Zeta. Upon arrival at Omicron Iota we were intercepted by nomad hostiles as expected. The Captain quickly dispatched the nomads before they could alert their hive of our presence. I looted one of the dead alien bodies and kept it frozen in my cargo for a dissection. We continued further into the core of the system. Far ahead we reached their main hive (#1).. Upon further investigation of the Structure it seems that it has been build via solid energetic substances surrounding the Hive, and the solid matter has been concentrated on ground-state properties, and also on the chemistry of the molecules comprising the solid. It also seems that the construction is ''swallowing'' electromagnetic radiation and composing it in to coupled electric and magnetic fields(#2). The massive mountain like structures surrounding the Hive are composed from the same elements and outfitted with devastating Alien weaponry.
The Nomad Beacon.
We were getting some weird scrambled noise on our scanners some where deep within the system, so we moved out to investigate. We flew trough some sort of an alien debris field full with mines...its was obvious there was something ahead heavily protected. What we found was beyond any human comprehension. It was some sort of a Beacon that emits electromagnetic charges reaching as far as a few light years(3#). Observation of this thing shows its combined with semaphoric indicators which carry out some sort of information(#3.1). The nomads were gathering around this ...monument and behaving in a way as if they were worshiping it. It looks like its a ritual for them gathering some sort of energy and connecting to each other. Its obvious that this structure an ancient Relic built there many centuries ago.
We gather as much data as we could and headed back to Liberty before the Nomads can locate our presence and destroy us.
I will do my best and investigate what i have gathered thoroughly and try and understand if this Beacon could be intervened with...
