SUBJECT: Nomad Vagrant presence in the New York system
ENCRYPTION: HIGH
PRIORITY: HIGH
This is Captain Edmund Mallory of the naval training ship LNS Sierra Nevada.
At 1621 hours SMT, our scanners again picked up a Nomad signature near Fort Bush and Baltimore Shipyard. The readouts indicated that it may have been the same vessel that we encountered two days ago (Vagrant.Aun'el). The Nomad rapidly approached the Sierra Nevada and the stations, seemingly trying to communicate with my bridge crew and me. I transmitted a warning to stay clear of the stations and had our weapon systems warmed up. The warning, however, was ignored.
Instead, it seemed to... transmit some sort of vision at us. It affected both myself and the rest of the officers on the bridge at the time. Images of some sort of alien city and other... structures that I can't exactly describe. It was also making my crew feel strangely calm and friendly towards the Nomad. I have to admit, I was barely able to resist this attack myself. Just when an image of the alien appeared seemingly right in front of me, I was able to snap out of it and take manual control of the weapon systems. Immediately upon being fired upon, it cut the visions and jumped through a hyperspace breach.
My crew recovered pretty much immediately, though a few officers are still complaining about images briefly flashing up before them. I will have them all submit to a medical and psych exam as well as myself, just to be on the safe side.
Scans of the Nomad vessel and the communications log will be attached below.
