ALIEN JUMP GATE DETECTED NEAR FORT BUSH. ATTACKS ARE IMMINENT.
flashed in big bold red letters on the display of the neural net console. Seconds later the route to Fort Bush was plotted and a few minutes later we were pulled through the trade lane to Fort Bush.
As we were about to exit the trade lane another message flashed across the neural net console:
ALIEN JUMP GATE DESTROYED.
The huge fleet of Liberty Navy ships, at least ten plus cap ships seemed to be a little disoriented as a single Nomad ship appeared on the scene and immediately attacked.
A hail of weapon fire rained down on the Nomad ship, which fled as fast as it could.
Aside of chasing a single Nomad we were following the more interesting question:
Was this real or just a hoax?
Sources within the Liberty Navy wouldn't confirm or deny it. The best we were able to get out of them was the phrase: 'No Comment'. I always say, where there's smoke there's fire.
I would like to leave you with this:
What if this threat is real and aliens like the Nomads have the technology to materialize a jump gate in any system they want at any point in time?
The destruction of bases or even planets could be daily news in the future.
