Well, today turned into a super weird day. I was running around with Leon aboard the '\S/NX-01 doing some jump drive tests. After landing in Omega 41, we stopped at Freeport 5 for refueling. After we got done, a strange contact appeared on our scope. A closer look revealed it to be a Nomad. It surprisingly didn't open fire, but I am glad. It was curious as to what we were doing. Leon revealed that he talked to another Nomad called Eris a while back. I was surprised to hear that, but glad. We kept asking each other questions, despite my objections to not doing such, though I would rather ask a Nomad questions than to die by one. Eventually, we left, heading for Cortez. Apparently, it is our new home.

[03.06.2023 12:42:47] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Get back on board, now!
[03.06.2023 12:43:30] '\S/'Cygnus: Harrison: Doesn't seem hostile, for now.

[03.06.2023 12:44:04] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Tell me if you hear anything weird. These things... they speak through the mind.

[03.06.2023 12:44:29] Vagrant.Neaera: *** This one doesn't meant to be an enemy. This one is just curious to see so big metal casks out here ***
[03.06.2023 12:45:02] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Did you hear that?
[03.06.2023 12:45:09] '\S/'Cygnus: Harrison: Woah, definetly heard it. It said something about being curious about us.
[03.06.2023 12:45:51] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: That's what I heard too. Stand guard, you never know with these.
[03.06.2023 12:46:00] '\S/'Cygnus: Harrison: Right.
[03.06.2023 12:46:44] Vagrant.Neaera: *** Are the \S/'NX-01 metal casks seeking something special within our void ? ***
[03.06.2023 12:47:42] '\S/'NX-01: Leon:
[03.06.2023 12:47:56] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Uhhhh.... I have no answer.
[03.06.2023 12:50:35] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: It... uhh... does seem to just watch... doesn't it?
[03.06.2023 12:50:58] '\S/'Cygnus: Harrison: Looks like it.

[03.06.2023 12:51:21] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: It's behaving the same as the other I've seen.
[03.06.2023 12:51:30] '\S/'Cygnus: Harrison: Oh yeah?
[03.06.2023 12:51:50] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Watching, asking questions. Doesn't attack.
[03.06.2023 12:52:57] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Does the name "Eris" mean anything to you?
[03.06.2023 12:53:03] Vagrant.Neaera: *** This metal cask has seen others of our kind ? - This one is interested in what kind of contact ***
[03.06.2023 12:53:43] '\S/'Cygnus: Harrison: Others? And you are still here? They must have been very curious Nomads.
[03.06.2023 12:55:37] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Very. I kinda... took a leap of faith with that particular one.
[03.06.2023 12:55:46] Vagrant.Neaera: *** We are not like our bretheren from the Omicrons. - This one met and consulted the Eris entity over some time yes. ***
[03.06.2023 12:56:11] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: I'm okay, not taken over or anything. They showed me their world.
[03.06.2023 12:57:43] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Transport, go now, while you still have time!
[03.06.2023 12:57:49] Vagrant.Neaera: *** The Eris entity must have trusted this metal cask far enough for beeing that generous ***
[03.06.2023 12:58:23] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: They said if I had questions.... they would be waiting.
[03.06.2023 12:58:35] '\S/'Cygnus: Harrison: Huh, interesting.
[03.06.2023 12:59:15] Vagrant.Neaera: *** Shall this one inform the Eris Entitiy that you have further questions ? ***

[03.06.2023 13:00:43] '\S/'Cygnus: Harrison: Hold up, why would you ask questions for and/or about Nomads? That's a bit weird, boss.
[03.06.2023 13:01:55] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Previous experience with these... uhh... things? This is twice now that they have not shot me.
[03.06.2023 13:02:10] Tip: Many commands have an alternate short form for ease of use, e.g. /gc can be used instead of /givecash. Check /help for the complete list.
[03.06.2023 13:02:49] '\S/'Cygnus: Harrison: That is strange. What if they are trying to take you over, like what the Nomads did during the war all those years-
[03.06.2023 13:02:51] '\S/'Cygnus: ago?
[03.06.2023 13:03:13] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Let's ask it?
[03.06.2023 13:04:11] '\S/'Cygnus: Harrison: Well, uh........so, you aren't trying to take us over, are you?
[03.06.2023 13:07:00] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: It's really thinking about it...
[03.06.2023 13:07:11] '\S/'Cygnus: Harrison: So it would seem.
[03.06.2023 13:07:36] Vagrant.Neaera: *** It was a tool once and it failed.So we won't use a tool again that has proven to be ineffective or a failure.We have other
[03.06.2023 13:08:14] Vagrant.Neaera: pathes to show metal casks the light. Everyone will see it sooner and later ***
[03.06.2023 13:09:09] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: If their home is their "light", I guess they... trust me? Or find me curious enough to watch.
[03.06.2023 13:10:19] Vagrant.Neaera: *** This one doesn't know what the Eris entity's motivation behind that was but we are not questioning it in any form. It can
[03.06.2023 13:10:53] Vagrant.Neaera: trust of it,or curiousity. There are many possibilities and without asking the Eries entity this one doesn't know. ***
[03.06.2023 13:11:44] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Your concern is noted, Harrison. It seems this isn't their plan... at least from what I can make of it.
[03.06.2023 13:12:48] '\S/'Cygnus: Harrison: Ok, I trust you boss.
[03.06.2023 13:13:23] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: And if I remember correctly... these things use the same hyperspace lanes we do. They can follow us.
[03.06.2023 13:13:45] '\S/'Cygnus: Harrison: Greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.
[03.06.2023 13:14:14] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: What do I even call you?
[03.06.2023 13:15:39] Death: NeZnaika_Na_Lune was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[03.06.2023 13:16:16] Vagrant.Neaera: *** You can call this one Neaera if you are in need of naming ***
[03.06.2023 13:16:49] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Just so I know what I'm talking to.
[03.06.2023 13:17:24] Vagrant.Neaera: *** Then the metal cask can call us Neaera ***
[03.06.2023 13:18:00] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Well... Neaera, you can tell Eris I do have further questions.
[03.06.2023 13:19:20] Vagrant.Neaera: *** This one will deliver your message towards the Eris Entity then ***
[03.06.2023 13:20:23] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Guess we wait... Harrison. Let's go. I'm still very much on edge about this.
[03.06.2023 13:21:22] '\S/'Cygnus: Harrison: Ok, copy that.
[03.06.2023 13:21:48] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Good, we still have work to do in Cortez.
[03.06.2023 13:22:00] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Uhh.... I'm not sure if this means anything to you.
[03.06.2023 13:22:04] '\S/'NX-01: LEon: Godspeed.
[03.06.2023 13:22:14] Vagrant.Neaera: *** The Eris entity will get into contact with you again then. This one can't say when or where ***
