A'ight, this is mad. No, it's insane. *sigh* Where to begin... When we were returning with the refugees, colonel with another member of our group spoted nomad. A big one. That... thing lingered there for a bit and when they slowly aproached it, it ran. Colonel thought it odd, that a blue is so far from 'crons, and decided we should investigate. So we did. The next day we joined with Zoner captain Sullivan with his ship Exodus and went to 'crons. The trip waas lenghty and for the most part boring. But then we got to the right systems.
Omicron Minor, they called the first one. There it started to be interesting? Yeah, that too, but mostly... unsettling and creepy. I mean... we found an jump gate and partialy build "trade" lane... made by those damn blues! We followed the lane to the nebula at to my terrible surprise we found that it's part was hollowed out! All the rocks were removed and there was large clearing, just where the lane ended. This scared me even more, even though I wouldn't think thats possible anymore. It took a lot of selfcontrol not to panic there. It really took.
*large silence interrupted by Jimmy gulping some drink*
And then we did it. We actually jumped through the damned alien gate... to find a system, with a functioning trade lane network, freakishly large defense platforms and... yeah. Four.. no five more jump gates. Four of them were packed together some... twenty? Thirty thousand clicks from the one we came through? I don't know. Colonel took me with him and we went to get a closer look. What we found was... it was... dammit, I can't even say it now! It meant trouble. For us, for houses, for the whole Sirius.
And then, they came. The nomads. First was the same one colonel saw earlier. Colonel decided it's time to go, although in my opininon that time was long gone, we should't stayed there for that long. We run for the gate but... they swarmed at us. Thanks... god... universe... whoever really, that Sully agreed to go with us. If that big ship of his wasn't there we wouldn't make it. We managed to dock in it and Sully took us back through the gate, but those blues pursued and though they weren't able to completely destroy him... there sure messed him up badly. I... damn it, so many people probably died in that ship. *Jimmy's voice cracks for a moment*
We... we managed to get Exodus to the Freeport, and the rest of us returned to... more civilized places. I... oh for god's sake... *laud click*
