Oy, Lads, Jimmy 'ere. This is goin' to be long, so hang with me, a'ight?
First thing I'll report is a simple escort job I did. I was contacted by [*USI*]NewProvidence[E] and asked if I could provide an escort, which I gladly accepted. I moved to to Alberta, met up with him and one other escort from his corporation and we wen't on the way. His partner had to leave after a while so for about 1/3 of tohe route I escrted im alone, and Sgt.Jack Burton joined us in New York, because there were some Rogues around and we didn't want to take chances. Captain of the Providence piad some nice money. Looks like we are giving a good impression with our escort services.

And now, for the long part. Bear with me, lads, there will be stuff hard to believe... hell, even I don't 'now if I believe it but... here it goes.

After my request to freelancers, I received a message from a rather... intriguing Captain. I won't tell ya his name, at least not yet anyways, cause his position isn't easy and he wanted to remain incognito... which I can undestand given the nature of the topic we were discussing. He claimed, he talked to nomads - we know it can be done - and I'll upload the relevant parts of my logs here now.

Code:

[17.08.2016 16:05:24] [FL-ER]Sidhe: I know ye said ye're talkin to em...
[17.08.2016 16:05:55] [FL-ER]Sidhe: I'd like to know what ye got to know 'bout them... if you don't mind...
[17.08.2016 16:06:37] Captain: Well, that's a lot to tell. You maybe want to get yourself a drink and take a comfy position. Could take a while.
[17.08.2016 16:07:08] [FL-ER]Sidhe: Aye. I've got the time.
[17.08.2016 16:07:28] Captain: Omicron Iota is the nomads home system in the Sirius sector. According to how far away it is on the stellarcartography
[17.08.2016 16:07:50] Captain: it's possible the nomads also have their zone of influence in other parts of the galaxy.
[17.08.2016 16:08:50] Captain: However, it's those three systems, Iota, Omicron-99 and the Dyson Sphere of Omicron Major are their home systems.
[17.08.2016 16:09:04] Captain: Even we are not welcome there, whatever our intentions are.
[17.08.2016 16:09:20] Captain: Entering those systems is only for those with a deathwish.
[17.08.2016 16:09:42] Captain: However, you can try to talk with the K'hara outside of these systems.

This is nothing we wouldn't know or suspect, yet it's interesting to hear from somone else. And to be fair, he knew about the gates in Iota, so I think he actually really was there. The next bits are much more intersting.

Code:

[17.08.2016 16:10:48] Captain: They are actually reasonable, if you really try to see things from their point of view.
[17.08.2016 16:11:22] Captain: However, it's like the Auxesians say. They are programmed to evolve into killing machines. Mostly.
[17.08.2016 16:11:35] Captain: You know the little morphlings?
[17.08.2016 16:11:56] [FL-ER]Sidhe: Which ones ye mean?
[17.08.2016 16:12:26] Captain: The little ones. Just them. You will noticed they never attack first, as long as they are in non-nomad space.
[17.08.2016 16:12:48] [FL-ER]Sidhe: Aye.
[17.08.2016 16:13:05] Captain: According to a nomad called Astarte, the morphlings get send into human space to learn how to hate.
[17.08.2016 16:13:26] Captain: It's not possible to permanently kill a nomad, as they are connected to what is called a 'mindshare'.
[17.08.2016 16:13:37] Captain: The nomads are highly psionical beings.
[17.08.2016 16:14:05] Captain: As long as they are connected, they will regrow, but they will keep the knowledge of their prior lives.
[17.08.2016 16:14:26] Captain: That's why it's useless to attack them in house space. It's counter-productive.
[17.08.2016 16:14:33] Captain: They will remember it.

Well... if he's speaking the truth... I think ye can think of implications yerself.

Code:

[17.08.2016 16:16:09] Captain: By the way, you still didn't tell me about the objects.
[17.08.2016 16:16:46] [FL-ER]Sidhe: Well... to be fair. I want to find where exactly they can jump to. Where they can emerge. It might be a hidden jumphole, it might be just an anomaly.
[17.08.2016 16:17:26] [FL-ER]Sidhe: But I'm not comfortable knowin they can jump to house spaces all the way from iota and don't know where.
[17.08.2016 16:17:54] Captain: Well, you saw the gates. They will lead directly to the capital worlds. Close to them.
[17.08.2016 16:18:30] Captain: The nomads have the ability to create jump holes artificially. If you search long enough for it, you may will find a system that contains those jump holes that instantly transport you to the capital worlds.
[17.08.2016 16:19:37] [FL-ER]Sidhe: There's a lot of jump holes. how'd ya know the difference?
[17.08.2016 16:20:26] Captain: Oh, I'm sure you'd know if you found the system I mean. You will need to search for it. I'm afraid I can't give you hints about it, as I promised to not tell the way or more about it.
[17.08.2016 16:21:10] Captain: The system I'm speaking of is a place of pacifism. Not many people know about it. If you find it, don't do anything harming.
[17.08.2016 16:21:56] [FL-ER]Sidhe: Don't ye worry. I don't want to get dusted...
[17.08.2016 16:22:32] Captain: Good. However, those jump holes and the K'hara gates will lead to those capital systes.
[17.08.2016 16:23:06] Captain: It's to assume that they can create holes to other systems whenever they want and wherever they want.
[17.08.2016 16:23:23] [FL-ER]Sidhe: That's not really good news.
[17.08.2016 16:23:25] Captain: We can't do anything against it, I'm afraid.

Now this is... scary. But it isn't all he had to say.

Code:

[17.08.2016 16:24:33] Captain: Well, you don't need to fear them. Never show hostility to them. Then you're good.
[17.08.2016 16:25:40] Captain: They are like animals of prey. You need to keep that in mind.
[17.08.2016 16:25:56] Captain: Don't simply ignore them, but show them you're not their enemy.
[17.08.2016 16:26:08] Captain: And don't enter their territory.
[17.08.2016 16:25:40] Captain: They are like animals of prey. You need to keep that in mind.
[17.08.2016 16:25:56] Captain: Don't simply ignore them, but show them you're not their enemy.
[17.08.2016 16:26:08] Captain: And don't enter their territory.

And that's everything important that was said. It's a lot to take in and I meself am not entirely sure how much we can believe him... However, my scanners were not registering anything out of normal about him or his ship. And since I did met D9, I think I would notice if there were similarities.

I'm really interesting to hear ye opinions, lads, but I think we should try find that system he mentioned. If we do find it, it'll give us proof he wasn't lying at least 'bout that.

And please, keep this stuff to yourself. It's not exactly safe to 'now these things. A lot of people might ask questions.

See ya, Jimmy out.
