-Just a short report. Two Nomads ({NOMAD}???? and Scout_fighter) seen monitoring the activity in Manhatten orbit, staying barely within scanner range. I was a bit spooked myself, and I don't think I was the only one. Naval pilot Trent Heartnet seemed reluctant to engage as well.
After we both shook off the jitters, we took after them. They immediately fled towards the Badlands and we disengaged. Soon after, I started reading an Order ship on my long range scanners; most likely idling in the Badlands. The Nomads and Order pilot engaged and Scout_fighter was destroyed. At least those Order punks are good for something.
-A bit later on, in orbit around Houston, a rather brass Xeno (Jonathan Wolf, I believe) came through one of the trade lanes and immediately engaged his cruise engines in retreat. A naval gunboat orbiting the planet as well knocked him out of cruise and myself and and a bomber by the name of Doomfrost were able to knock him out of the sky with relative ease; myself landing the killing blow. I tractored in his remains and pod, dropping them off on the Huntsville. Another day, another worker.
